MRS. ROOsEvELT's JOB

A friend of Mrs. Roosevelt came to see her at the White House, to talk about the First Lady's new job in the Office of Civilian Defense. She was impressed at Mrs. RooSe- velt's grasp of the problems, but a little disturbed at the boldness of some of her plans.
 So thinking of Director La- Guardia, the friend demonstrated; {; If you introduce such bold ideas, what will the Mayor say?"
 The First Lady smiled My dear" she said, T don't think the Mayor will say No to me"
 NOTE: Mrs. Roosevelt cannot spend full time at her desk in the OCD, and during her absence, the job will be held down by her good good friend Mrs. Henry Morgen- thau, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury.

BRITISH NAVAL STRENGTH

How hard pressed the British are for destroyers and convoy ships was illustrated the other day when the French steamer Pasteur arrived in the United States after crossing the Atlantic with only one destroyer as it's protector.
 The Pasteur is one of the newest French Line vessels, launched in 1889. She is beautiful boat of 30000 tons and it was remarkable that the British would risk a ship of this size and importance in the dangerous waters of the North Atlantic.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13

Adverse aspects rule this day which may be disappointing, for delays and illustrations, accidents and disappointments probably will be numerous.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a most forbidding configuration for love affairs. Girls will discover the scarcity of young men in civil life. Many soldiers, sailors and fly CTS will be missed as they make history in defense of the nation. Under this rule of the stars there may be apprehension and depres- sion, but moods pass quickly and the morale of those who wear uni- forms will be splendid. In this war all glamor has been avoided as the nation calmly accepts the call to defend democracy.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Miracles will be performed this month n manufacturing centers where Gov ernment contracts are held. De- spite labor difficulties there will bc marvels in mass production. but there will be strikes of serious character, since fifth column work will be more desperate and more

SUNDAY, OCTOBER l2

Benefic aspects rule today which should be helpful to all who pause to think deeply of their individual relations to the state and nation.
 HEART AND HOME: Revival of interest in religious observances is presaged by the stars. This is a favorable date for church going, most promising to all who study Bible history and stimulating to minds that seek the truth in any of its forms The prophecies Of Holy Writ will take on special meaning for all who study them. Through many tribulations the world is to gain spiritual vision and it has been prophesied that the veil between this plane and the next will become transparent.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is an suspicious date for careful plan- ming, day in which bravely to face exact conditions prevailing in a world in upheaval and transi- tion. It is wise to plan for the worst in postwar economic condi- tions as they affect the average citizen, the worst" being business disruption and readjustment which will require careful restoration work after abnormal conditions end As- trologers foretell long war, if conflict continues through the win, ter as the stars indicate that it will.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor is to be discussed with growing con- cern as this month brings about opposing ideas among members of unions. A split in one of the big organizations is forecast as a poS- sibility. With Saturn in Taurus and Uranus in Gemini two ideas will rule workers. Saturn is believed to encourage those who refuse to work because of wage disputes while Uranus dictates freedom from all bonds tn at hamper efficiency. Crises in strike negotiations will be sensational
 INTERNATIONAL AFF AIR &: Surprising turns in HitlerS war plans are prognosticated as the scales cease to give the dictator great balance of power in decisive campaigns of aggression. Warning is given that acts of treachery are to be expected. Again there will be clever unexpected movements of Nazi troops. Berlin's chart is ad- verse for economic resources. More new treaties and programs are in dicated. Complete changes in the aggressor's methods may. be ex- pected.
 Persons whose birthdate it is may look for gains in business and financial holdings, but friends or relatives may cause losses or fric- tion.
 Children born on this day will be keen, clever and critical. They probably will be fond of success and all the good things of life.

BROWN EYES, TOO

1t was a funny thing, but at
that moment he got his first
complete picture of Annie in
a sort of after-image. He
knew that she had brown eyes,
a little snub nose, a big mouth
and she was pretty.
But as he hurried on to
work, he said to himself
"Yeh. but she's a damn fool
or She wouldn't be hanging
e@f any window" 1t was a
sort of defense reaction.
Later that morning, he tried
to murder a photographer who
snapped his picture and later
in the day. somebody gave
him a newspaper and he saw
their pictures and read the
story about him being a Her
cules who had caught Annie
and saved her from a broken
neck.
He didn't care for his own
picture. His face was all
twisted up and his hand was
pulled back to throw a punch,
and at a moment like that a
man doesn't appear at his
best. But he liked Amie's.
She was prettier, even, than
he had remembered.
That may have been the
reason he read the story as
quickly as he could and felt
relieved that she wasn't mar
ried.
He was afraid TO 90 home
that night on account of the
questions the old man would
ask him, so he bought all the
evening papers and went TO
Bryant Park and read the
stories about him and Annie.
She was "a and a stenogra-
pher. She happened TO be
shaking out cloth when her
foot slipped and, first thing

she knew. she was hanging
out the window.
It was nearly 10 o'clock
when he got home that night
and his father said. 'sPickin'
up women, Ell? No good'll
come outta this"
So he'd forgotten all about
the delightfully."- painful Incl
dent in a week and he was
very much surprised and
little fearful when the office
sent a boy on the floor after
him. He thought he was
going to be fired.
But it was only Annie. She
was sitting in the office and
Alexander thought, "Gyps!
She's not much bigger'n
midget" and then he turned
red and said to her:
"When you shake a towel,
you're not supposed to shake
yourself out a window"
"Oh!" she said. "Wise guy.
Ell? Well, what's so smart
about standing under a falling
body: Don't you know
Archimedes' Principle: When
you fall you come faster every
minute. I came over to thank
you for saving my life"
Smart. Alexander thought.
Quick on the comeback. Who
was this guy Archie? He'd
never heard of him. He Won
dered if she'd think he was
fresh, if he asked her for a
date. So he asked her and
she said:
80. X. Eight all right ?"
The way it went on from
there, it was just an anti
climax. He could get her
awful sore whenever she came
near a window, and she'd
come right back at him by
standing with her feet apart
and her two hands clasped to-
gether, palms up like the
understander does in a tumb-
ling team.
One night. Alexander said:
"Hey, Annie. What say IL
we get married ."
Can I keep my job and 60
on working ?" she asked.

skull-on collision. As her head
went past him, he Rugged
tightly, and if Annie had any
breath in her when she
started to fall. she lost il then.
The two of them lay, all
mixed up together for an
instant and Alexander was al
ready mad. He always got
mad when somebody hurt
him and his shoulder and left
hand were hurting.
Some one lifted the soft
black cloud off the top of him
and pulled him TO his feet.
Alexander with a dazed smile
promptly sat down again and
a young and bored intern, who
had just arrived in the
ambulance said:
"Ha. Conclusion"
Alexander thereupon pulled
himself to his feet and looked
around for his lunch box. 1t
was lying about Is feet from
him. He picked it up and
thrust it under his arm and
was starting on to work when
the cop said:
Hey, you. Come'ere and
gimme your name"
Alexander looked at the cop
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-21

looked al her, and she glared
back at him and began to pull
her skirts down over her
good-looking knees. That
made Alexander madden than
ever. She thinks, he thought.
that I'm a damn peeker. He
turned to the cop then and
said:

Hoyt street. 1 got to CO."

tested the cop who was no
shorthand - nor longhand -
expert. Don't gimme 1t so

If il wasn't for the uniform
and the badge-and the club
Alexander would have taken
a swing at him. He was
getting little nervous.
They were lifting Annie off
the ground and inserting her
into the ambulance. The
crowd of now 900 were all
trying TO get into the cops
arms or TO stand on his
shoulder and watch him while
