4i S.a HOROSCOPE. "The stars incline ',s,' s'.1 but do rot compel"
FRIDAY, JULY Il

Adverse planetary aspects rule today. It is date for care and caution in all important activities. Accidents and sabotage may mark the coming week which is under evil portents.
 Heart and Home: Danger of an- xiety that paralyzes family plans and causes illustration of domestic programs is discerned for tn S month. The wise will make the most of each days joys and avoid borrowing trouble. Inclination to spend too much money and time in seeking pleasure may be strong, in view of future uncertainties, but the seers urge thrift and practical self denial. When history is in the making on an amazing scale, this is the time to exercise caution.
 Business Affairs: Trade among the countries of the Western Hem isphere will have strong impetus. The United States will expand the large volume of exports and will cement commercial relations ., al- ready well established. Inventions and new discoveries of natural re- sources will swell the wealth. of the nation. Increase of population will add greatly to the demand for mercantile products. Refugees from Europe will contribute much to sci- ence and the arts. easajy
 Nations al Issues: Increase of armed forces in all branches; of service will give evidence 0fNuthe power for defense which calf be mobilized, but obstructionists Sswili continue to oppose Administration policies. Increased commitments by the Government now will be, i'm perative, due to world war events. Exposure of sabotage and fifth col umn activities will arouse the na- tion, especially when it is discov- cred that many spies are actually on Government pay rolls. Despite agitation and publicity regarding Nazi and Communist propaganda, the spread of subversive activities will be only partially checked.
 International Affairs: Dangers to Great Britain are prognostieated from the uprising of native tribes in distant parts of the Empire, Nazi agents will extend their work to the utmost boundaries of British possessions with serious results! In-. reference with communications as well as continued destruction of shipping will hamper naval and military operations. Dark days sare to intervene before victory becomes possible through the aid of sthe strongest of allies. 4ss1
 Persons whose birthdate ita is have the augury of year of min gled good and bad luck. Sudden changes and upheavals are foretold, but happy days will outnumber those of stress or strain. as :.
 Children born on this day will have successful lives, for they will be determined in their ambitions and fortunate in realizing them.

Japan Wants Fish

Seattle TimeS)
 Japan now seeks to abrogate the treaty which since 91 has conserved the North Pacific seal herd confining seal hunting to the period of the seals annual summer sojourn the Pribilof Islands.
 The Japanese contend the seals have grown too numerous, and menace commercial fisheries. The United States Fish and Wild Life Service hopes to disprove that theory.
 The Wild Life Service should be supported in this scientific inquiry. But if Japan continues to travel in her present gangster company, we may be sure the effort to preserve the treaty will be in vain.

DEFENSE RAIL BOSS

LIEF EN6E NAIL OOSo
 OPM chiefs aren't admitting it but they want the President to re- place Ralph Budd, Burlington Rail- roda executive, as Defense Rail Di- rector.
 Number 1 choice as his successor Is Joseph B. Eastman veteran chair man of the Interstate Commerce Commission and one of the great est transportation experts in the country.
 Budd has been under fire in De- fense circles because of alleged fail ure to get the railroads to under take big freight car and locomo- tive program last year, when stee was plentiful. However, rail mer vigorously contend that Budd has done a good job of coordinating, de- ny there will be a car shortage thi year.
 Indirectly they admit there may be one next year, by saying tha what happens depends on whether they can get deliveries on the thou sands of new cars they have or dered. This years freight require ments are estimated at 45,000,00, cars, next year at 48,000,000, ant 1884, 50,0oo 900 cars.
 Eastman and the President ar old friends. In the early years o the New Deal, when railroad con solidation was much in the ail Roosevelt gave Eastman the job O working out a plan. He submitted comprehensive program, but nothin came of it because of powerful raj and Wall Street opposition.

LOST DAYLIGHT SAVING

A few days ago the Federal Pow CT Commission, backed by OPM Di- rectors Knudsen and Hillman, call ed on the people in the Southeast ern States to cut down their use of electricity so as to provide more power for urgent defense needs.
 Ardently patriotic, the people of this section unquestionably will re- spond. But the incident illustrates the lack of coordination in the vast defense program.

Service Men Bankino
On Horse Show 10 Help
Improve Clubhouse
Affair at Fort Myer Set
For Saturday and Sunday
To Aid Soldiers, Sailors

The Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Club Is banking on a horse show
at Fort Myer, Va. next week end
to help it through an expansion
program that means something to
the growing number of service men
centered in Washington.
The club, located at Eleventh and
l. streets NV, is being enlarged
and redecorated to meet the de-
mands of the increasing Army, Navy
and Marine personnel.
Primarily club for enlisted men,
1t offers them board and lodging at
q modest price and has recreational
facilities and other accommodations
which the service men do not find
elsewhere in the city.
The clubhouse has reading and
writing rooms, open to all of the
services. At present the quarters
are being remodeled so that in the
future the number of bedrooms and
shower baths will be doubled, and
more space will be available for
a dance hall and recreation room.
To help defray the cost of these
improvements, the Woman's Army
and Navy League is sponsoring a
horse show Saturday and Sunday
In the Fort Myer riding hall.
The two-day show will attract
some of the topf1ight riders and
many of the best jumping horses
in this section. A feature will be
an invitation high jump champion
ship" open only to horses known
to be consistent as 5-foot jumpers.
Mrs. Julian Schley, president of
the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Club, is chairman of the committee
arranging the show. She is being |
assisted by Mrs. George C. Marshall, |
Col. William w. Gordon, Larry Law
renee. Mrs. Rex Rhodes and Mai. |
George G.. Elms.
The show will open Saturday at 8
pm, and the Sunday performances
will start at 2:30 pm. Mrs Mar
shall, wife of the Army chief of
staff, will give a tea for exhibitors
at her residence at Fort Myer after
the show closes Sunday.
