PAGING THE VICE PRESIDENT

Louis H. Harris, one of the eX- ecutives in the Office of Price Ad- ministration, was trying to phone the Vice President of the United States, who is head of two defense agencies. To locate him Harris called the White House operator.
 After several minutes of delay, she came back with this harassed query: Are you sure there's a Henry Wallace who works here?"
 ARMY WASTE
 If other Army camps are like Camp Meade, Maryland, the Army is throwing away enough good food to feed large section of starving Europe.
 The hog farmer who collects Meade's garbage found, the other day, that large box of fresh fish had been set out for garbage col lection. He asked the cook if there was some mistake.
 No, there's no mistake. We served fish and there was that much left over. It's not enough for another meal, so we have to throw 1t out
 Another time, when the men left camp for maneuvres, l50 pounds of butter were thrown away as gar- bage.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER lb
 Adverse planetary aspects dom- mate today. In the morning there may be apprehensions of troubles or dangers. The mind may accept depressing ideas. The clergy will be fortunate, for many persons will turn to religion as solace.
 HEART AND HOME: Women may suffer from the critical atti- tudes of the male members of the family. In the home there may be a sense of unrest and anxiety. One of the signs of changing times will manifest itself in the idea that many home plans are not worth while since they never will be realized. The Seers stress the responsibility belonging to women at this time when their courage and fortitude means much to the nation The wise will proceed as if security could not be undermined by war conditions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Sharp rises in the prices of many com modities will greatly increase the cost of living. Government efforts will lessen the chances of infla- tion, but will be powerless to pre- vent many automatic economic forces from operating Farmers will profit, as the world more and more needs food produced in the United States. In the spring Am- ericanS of all classes will plant vegetables in their home gardens.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Suspicion of favoritism in the Army and Navy will be widely implanted by fifth column agents. Commissions won by the sons and various rela- tives of Government officials will cause envy and jealousy even though rank has been earned by hard work. The seers emphasize the importance of avoiding criti- cism of defense regulations. Patrio- tism may be demonstrated by avoiding the fault finding often prevalent among selectees an d members of their families.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Although the entrance of Uranus into Gemini last August intensi- fled the war impulse for the Unit ed States it is probable that we shall not feel the full impact of the world conflict until January. 1922. Momentum toward conflict will increase rapidly after Febru- ary 4 until the end of that month. Then an act of violence is prop able, although there may be a de- termined peace movement The of Mars and Uranus, March l, and the solar eclipse of that date will exercise great in- fluence. The people will be aroused. War may be declared in April or May, 1942.
 Persons whose birthdate it. is have the augury of a year of perils. It is well to be on guard against fires as well as accidents. Erratic impulses may affect the family se- renity. Y
 Children born on this day prob ably will be romantic and idealis- tic. They will have eyentful lives and may be unstable in love.

The celebration in Harlem will

ish law as it covers a right we
have as Americans-the right to

But the labor organizations feel
that this law is needed because
the employers have taken unfair

The sponsors of L. B. 504 feel
as though the AT. of L. Craft un-

they certainly have plenty of rea-

Dear Mother:
This leaves me we'll and happy,
and enjoying life daily. Hope this
will find you much happier and
not worrying about yourself and
what the future will hold for you.
Every home car be prosperous,
and there should be no poverty
stricken homes, for they are caus-
ed only by inharmony, fear and
negative thinking, so begin now
to talk plenty. Thank God FOR
what you already have and are
blessed with. Express true hap
piness and well being from your
heart, then you'll notice how your
prayers are being answered.
Don't ever think or talk hard
times. Things will never come to
you thatw ay. Put all your SER
ious thinking OF good thoughts
over bad disastrous ones, and you
will soon win everything that's
genuinely good over to your side.
Worry and fear will walk right out
the door.
Talk strength and try to be
strong inside and God will help
you. Talk weaknesses and you'll
be weak. When you are weak IN
side you can't tell when God answ-
cred your prayers unless he per-
forms a gigantic miracle for you
and that, Pm sure, would a
you so your heart couldn't stand
the strain.
Yours is still here on earth and
you are going to get it for sure,
if you only get those deceivers,
worry, fear, and dislike out of your
insides. Start right now and
clean house inside, then watch all
the blessings you never realized
before come to your evey day life.
You'll be happy evey day and not
just when special occasions arise.
Mediate strongly to yourself
about only good things to happen
for you and watch for their APP
pearance providing you don't let
something inside say they won't
and can't happen, then truthfully
they won't. Think for the best
every day, every minute assist
yourself with prayer and see if
