READINGS ARE READY.

MY NEW 1912 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY.
E. G.: am well and hope you
are the same. My husband had a
job and was laid off his job for
drinking. Last winter this took
place. 1 want to know will he get
his job back this winter and will
my husband ever quit drinking? ?
And too, was thinking about bor-
rowing some money. What must
do about it?
Ans: Finding a job is one thing
and keeping that job is an
other. No employer wants a work
er who gets drunk on the job.
Therein is the source of your hus-
bands difficulties. Some folks are
slaves to whiskey -. your husband
falls in this class. Try to keep him
of liquor. Borrowing money will
only add to your troubles. Let me
suggest that you make up your
mind that you will have to work
and save a little more yourself and
depend less on your mate.
L E.: Mr.. Wallace, 1 am middle
age woman and 1 am a widow by
death of nine years ago. Very
much in need of advice on mar
riage. l am corresponding with a
man some distance away whom I
knew as a child. He also is a
widower by divorce. Would I be
successful to marry him and go to
his home town to live?
Ans: When two people get along
in years they get set in their habits
and their ways. In this case, it
would be using poor judgment to
up and marry a man you know so
little about. Before you decide one
way or another you should learn
more about each other. Visit him.
Let him visit you. In this way you
will find out soon enough whether
he is the man for you or not
L. T.: am girl eighteen years
of age in high school. I'm not brag-
ging but l am attractive and sing
well, mostly 1 sing popular songs
and everybody loves to hear me
sing. 1 am a type that loves to
have a good time. like to dance
and play around with the fellows.
There is a young man on the cam
pus that says he loves me. He
wants me to go some place with
him Christmas. He thinks that will
prove that love him. Do you think
I should do this?
Ans: Single girls do not spend

John Coolidge Starts
Business of His Own
By Lou Black.

ORANGE, Conn. Oct. 18-Tall, blond
John Coolidge was feeling gay. A physi-
clan had just told him he was fit again
after five-month siege of illness, and
he was going into business for himself.
Normally, the 35-year-old son of for
mer President Calvin Coolidge is quiet
and determined, not given to display or
parade; chap who, like his late father,
doesn't create situations, but rather
meets them as they arise.
The news called for a celebration,
however, and even exploding a myth or
two about Dad"
The newly elected president and
treasurer of the Walstrom Manifold Co.
Of Hartford, printers of forms for busi-
ness systems, looked as well as he felt.
John has picked up 20 pounds and now
weighs lit, which his physician says is
Just right for Coolidges 6-foot frame.

Trans-Saharan railway. He launched
and received favorable reports. Just the
same, the plan was dropped again, this
time for political reasons.
Furthermore, the Sahara had mean
while been conquered by the airplane
and the motorcar. Soon planes were to
link European France with the most
important Of French tropical cities
Dakar. Soon, too, buses were run on a
regular schedule into the very heart of
Africa. Planes and cars required no
tracks, and they were cheaper to run.
What was the sense, people asked, in
turning back to the railway age?
There the matter rested again until
the threat of a second World War began
to loom large. The French Republic
was then one of the leading nations of
Europe, powerful and rich-but her
population had stopped growing long
before and was now retrogressive. 1t
was largely because OF her fear of ag-
gression that the republic had launched
a policy of overseas expansion.
French Propaganda
In tropical Africa she found a popu-
lation which turned out hundreds of
thousands of excellent soldiers for
France. The great difficulty was to get
them to Europe in hurry when needed.
The proponents of the Trans -Saharan
project warned that, without the rail-
way, many soldiers would have to walk
long distances to join their regiments
II lucky. they might travel on camel
back or astride mules. Or they might
take steamer on one of the navigable
sections of the Niger or Senegal Rivers.
At long last, when they arrived at Dakar
and were loaded aboard troopships, war
might already have broken out, and there
would be enemy raiders and submarines
to contend with.
The government-inspired French press
declares that the principal object of the
Trans-Saharan is to bolster French
prestige. Now that France has been
defeated, the argument runs, her sur
plus energies must be diverted into the
colonial field. Her national genius will
thus realize a fond ambition-the link
ing OF the two French Africas. This,
says the press, has for years been one of
the nations most vital problems. For
though maps show the African empire
to be a closed unit, it is in reality two
distinct units, and the Sahara separates
them more completely than any ocean.
The desert must be spanned by rail to
insure "a profitable exchange of goods
between the north and south"
So goes the propaganda. But no one
is deceived by 1t. 1t is too evident that
this desert railway would be the greatest
boon to the Third Reich. 1t would en-
able her to reach Dakar overland.
Through the Trans-Saharan railway the
Nazis could project themselves into the
most vital part Of the Atlantic Ocean.

Try to Get a Meal in Europe

Let's eat! No. not around the corner
at the automat, where we can buy hot
meal with coffee. bread and dessert for
IS cents; not over on Madison avenue
either, where it might set us back s1.50.
Today we'll fight for our food around
Europe, where the war is two years old
and the eating two years worse.
Well start with France, where the
culinary tragedy is the most catastrophe,
if for no other reason than that the
food there was the best and cheapest
in the world before the lightning struck.
Two years and two months ago paid
something like Is francs (then little
more than rs cents at medium priced
Riviera restaurant for meal that began
with hors d'oeuvres galore, progressed
through a 3-inch-thick chateaubriand,
golden French fried potatoes, sea-green
broccoli with Hollandaise sauce, lettuce
salad, a cold white wine and a creamy
bombe, thence to coffee and mellow cog
nae.
The bread was white, the brown, crisp
crust chefs dream.
Across the table was Roy Porter, COL
league in correspondence and a trench
erman from way back. Now listen to
Porter's dismal cry from Vichy, France:
"The average meal at a restaurant
here depends on what the chef can find
provided he hasn't given up in disgust.
Even on meat days, when it is served
only at noon, the portions are limited
to less than one-f1fth of a pound per
person. Everybody is eating vegetables:
carrots, spinach, pumpkin, string beans,
tomatoes, celery-as much as possible, to
fill up.
Nights maybe there are fried pota-
toes if there is enough grease to fry
them in, but there is no meat. Bread
is strictly rationed but you can eat all
you can get on the ration ticket the
first of the month, providing you go
without the latter part.
"The coffee is bad, there is little but
ter, there is saccharine instead of sugar,
hardly any tea at all.

fairly good restaurant:

cents) extra. Tip. sixpence 90 cents.
Total. S105.
Quite obviously, the London clerk
pronounced Clark or skilled workman
doesn't pay that kind of dough for his
food. He can eat at a pub (and the
food at pubs frequently is the best in
England) for a shilling and sixpence
(35 cents to 2 shillings 80 cents and
get 'cut off the joint (slice of roast
lamb, mutton, pork or beef, two vege-
tables (almost certainly boiled potatoes
and one member of the cabbage fam
ily), a pudding and a cup of tea. If he
has half pint of bitter beer with this
meal, and he usually does. the whole
thing may cost him As cents.

We saved for the last Henry Cassidy's
rather surprising lunch bulletin from
Moscow and the tidings from Frank
Brutto in that peaky paradise Of peace,
Switzerland. Here they are: r
Moscow: You can get all you want
to eat at Moscow restaurant. There
are no restrictions on amounts served
and 1t is unnecessary to show a ration
card, although the prices are about
double those for food bought in markets
with cards. Here is a sample menu in
a middle-class Moscow restaurant:
White bread. 40 kopeks; beef soup, l
ruble IS kopeks; three outlets with vege-
tables. 3 rubles IS kopeks; glass of wine.

A ruble is worth, nominally If not

rate Cassidys meal cost almost S16O.

used In our home quite often, sort of a

the slightest doubt in my mind what he
meant. He just didn't want to be re-

subsequent events proved. He never ac-
