SMOKE SCREEN

Always shrewd in squeezing the utmost propa- ganda value from their aggressons, the Nazis have not failed in the present campaign against Russia. Russia was preparing to attack Germany. But the main propaganda effort of the Nazi regime is the attempt to make the attack on Russia great moral crusade against Communism.
 Finland has been compelled to enter the service of the Nazis. Hungary and Rumania also are en- listed Italy, of course, declared war on Moscow. And Spain is being encouraged to send volunteers strength of the Red Army to be more than was an- ticipated Hitler sent out call for token armies, to be recruited from all his allies and vaSsals-to fight an theological war, of course.
 Actually, ideologes have nothing to do with it.. Hitler posed for years the worlds bulwark against Communism, and credence among appeas- CTS in various countries. Then he found the Com munist and Naz creeds fitted together well enough to permit a Russo German entente. This lasted al- most two years, until the moment was ripe for a reversal. Now all the old anti-C Communist slogans are being dusted off and put to work.
 Nazism and Communism amazingly similar today. There is choice, and no need to choose. Germany is steadily pursuing program of world conquest, using various states allies and then de- stroying them one by one Russia is pursuing pol icy which is purely Russian not theological But the Reich is trying to make capital out of the capitalist worlds very natural hatred for Communist doctrine.
 Nobody should be deceived by the attempt to make a great moral crusade out of the invasion of

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline # n'
 but do not conper' {.
WEDNESDAY, JULY l6} F,,

Strong adverse planetary influ- ences are active today which may bring perplexities to employers and men who exercise power in finance Eor Government.
 HEART AND HOME There should be serene spirit in the home this configuration which en- courages women to take a philo- sophical view of life. The stars to- day encourage the cultivation of a faithful spirit which makes the best of each day as it comes and declines to borrow trouble. This should be fortunate date for those engaged in technical work. Girls should push their energies along the most practical lines. Training of some sort should be sought by all.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is not a promising configuration for men at the top of human affalrs here in the United States. There will be many anxieties with increas- ed sense of responsibility toward the nation. Greed which encourages graft and profit through pull will affect men of all stations in life. True patriotism now must be fan ned into flame as the nation pros pers through the changing condl- tions due to world war. Great pro- fits will be realized and much-will be absorbed by taxes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor diff cultieS vii precipitate drastic Gov ernment measures to prevent strik- es that impede preparations for de- fense A strike of dreadful poten- tialities will arouse public fear and widespread resentment. Despite ar bitration and Government interest in major trouble which will be a Midsummer menace, there will, be general impatience which presages serious internal conflict of opin- ion in the United States, There is an evil portent for Washington where there will be death as :. an arbiter in a grave dispute.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: In- creased war pressure will be felt by all the nations of the Western Hemisphere at this Midsummer date. Economic and financial prob- lems will be more conspicuous in the Axis. Reactions from the people whose men have been sacrificed in war will be secretly threatening for the future. In the seesaw of conflict adverses will be noted for British forces as well as for Nazi armies The stars indicate that the polit- ically blind will see and the. polit- ically deaf will hear in places where the flag bearing the Swastika floats
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of average good fortune. The wise will move slowly in all important matters.
 Children born on this day may have many changes of fortuna al through their lives. They may bs too impulsive and intense for theil own best development.

The Sailors Know

Maritime Memorial Day is holiday of long standing with the Sailors Union of the Pacific
 It is, therefore particularly noteworthy that the Seattle branch of the unon recognizing that present conditions provide real emergency has resolved to work cargo all Alaska ships on that day, and also to man vessels scheduled for sailing Otherwise the holiday will be observed as usual.
 Organized labor as whole has served the country well in furthering the defense program. There have been regrettable instances to the con- trary.
 Set up against these is the voluntary action of the Sailors Union this week. These men know there is an emergency. They know too what importance Alaska may assume in the immediate future and how essential it is that our ramparts to the north be strengthened at once

Through the combined efforts of Ford Motor Company engineers and Henry Ford Hospital officials at Detroit, a new-low-cost port able baby incubator has been de- veloped after 12 years.
 Small and easy to handle, this "pigmy" life-saving outfit is ex- pected to bring about a sharp reduction in the high infant mor- tality rate in rural areas. The portable incubator can be moved easily into isolated homes to help save the lives of premature babies.
 Physicians all over the nation are looking with interest on the new unit because-compared to bulky incubators usually avail able only in large hospitals it is small enough to be transported. quickly in any emergency to iso- ,aatad rural districts, i--------

The outfit (shown above) is hardly larger than clothes bas- ket and fits easily on an automo- bile seat. It works when plugged into an ordinary light socket and can be set upon a kitchen table.
 As a life saver for premature babies, this compact unit has been remarkably successful in Michi- gan. Twenty of the tiny incuba- tors are strategically located in communities not able to purcha5e the larger ones and in sections not served by hospitals. Results are attracting wide attention.

However, the last time I yielded to the Ordnance office in mat ter like this was when was Se- rretary of War under President Taft-and regretted it. The Ord nance people had turned down the Lewis machine-gun. General Croz- fer, very dear friend of mine, was opposed to it. I went behind the barracks and shot the gun, but in the end bowed to General Crozier and the Army passed it up.
 Well the world now knows what became of the Lewis machine-gun The next time I saw it, I was in a British airplane over the English Channel in the last war, and the pilot was using Lewis machine gun against the enemy The British had bought the patent and perfect ed it."

ITO HELL WITH ORDNANCE.

So last week StimSon decided not to make the same mistake with the trackless tank. At Ft. Knox pictures were taken from inside the tank, looking out through gun-hole, and it was proved that the eight wheels made the tank far smoother and thus more deadly in its aim. Also Stimson figured that it would take four to five months anyway to build two tanks, and IT could be built in the same period. So in the end he said: ITO hell with Ordnance, l" and overruled General Wesson.
