MONDAY, MAY l9

Labor comes under good direc- tion today when adverse aspects influence commerce. The press may bring bad news of some sort, but there will be much to counter balance evil portents.
 Heart and Home: Another rou- tine day is indicated for women, who should use their energies tire lessly in service needed by the na- tion. However, this is not a prom ising date for seeking any new em- ployment. Preparation will be more fortunate than any quest. The seers counsel women of tried experience and technical training to save their physical strength for later work. Young girls will be acceptable foi training which should be intensive In the summer many who served in the first World War will con- tribute aid in their home cities where sanitation, healthful enter tainment and wholesome meals will be needed by war workers and war fighters.
 Business Affairs: Prospects for continued prosperity will encour- age expansion of business con- cerns and improvements in shops and factories. Home building will have an impetus, for June wed- dings will be many and migrations of populations will affect towns east and west. Living conditions which will be a government con- cern will greatly improve, especi- ally among migrants in western states where profits will accrue through improved energies of farm workers.
 National Issues: Even though the United States desires to avoid &C., tual conflict the stars presage de- liberate efforts by Axis powers to involve the nation in bloodshed. Incidents that arouse resentment and a desire to retaliate are indi- cated in the planetary government. Intense opposition to actual par continue to be focused in Wash- ticipation in a World War will ington where our foreign policy will be alternately praised and criti- cized.

sit for hours listening to arguments without once changing expression. It is the younger Justices, Hugo Black and William Douglas, who lead in the Courts occasional smiles.
 But the dignified Chief Justice broke down the other day and treat ed himself to a hearty belly laugh.
 Representative John Tolan of Cal ifornia, as "a friend of the court, was arguing a case involving the conStitutionality of a Calf ornia statute forbidding transportation of d pauper across the state line. Just before Tolan appeared, the court had been listening to a series of weighty arguments on due process, D interstate commerce regulations. and other dry legalisms.
 The genial, white haired Californ- ian, who heads a committee n- vastigating migrant labor conditions quickly cleared the musty atn.os- .phere.
 Nov I do not intend to disdnss the issue of constitutionality in this case" began Tolan. Fact is, I don't know anything about the Constisu- tion." Then, looking straight at Hughes, he added with a grin, i've been in Congress too long"
 Such frankness was too much for Hughes. Leaning back in his chair, he laughed until he shook.

 Parents who hothouse methods to accelerate the development of their childrens talents would do well to study the ninth birthday report of the Woods twins of New York, one of whom was reared scientifically while the other just growed up like Topsy. for the boy carefully guided is now behind
 The deep-rooted desire of parents to provide opportunities they did not enjoy for their children is understandable and commendabe. However when carried to excess, it often leads to failure to tragedy.
 Excess is most common in music, for study of the art properly begins in childhood. A large per- centage of the children taken out of public schools and out of childhood games so more hours can be given to scales do not develop into the geniuses they are heralded to be, and not having had normal upbringing they sometimes poorly equipped to compete with those with whom they must live.
 Ambitious parents should bear in mind that Shakespeare and Bach were products of a world in which scientific" was not part of language that they just grew up." Only exceptional talents will accomplish the feats of genius, and in countless instances this talent has developed not only without special help, but against great odds.

to Britain are being selected for high vitamin and calorie content, also for minimum bulk and weight.
 In general, preference will be giv- en to concentrated and dried foods, rather than bulky canned goods such as fruits, which contain a con- siderable amount of water. Toma- toes are an exception because the juice they are packed in is high in vitaminS.
 One item urgently desired by the British is dehydrated vegetable soup, 12 tons of which will make 100000 bowls.
 A plan is under consideration to transport some of this concentrated food in the big bombers being fer ried across the Atlantic, which can easily carry a 12-ton load.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

SUNDAY, MAY 18

Adverse planetary influences rule today. Unrest and even rebellion against existing conditions may be prevalent among those who think. The church is under a sway that stirs clergymen to vigorous work. Interest in religion will awaken among persons of many faiths.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to sway that inclines them to nurse fears regarding the future. Mothers may be apprehen- sive regarding their sons in the service of their country. This is day for summoning all possible re- ligious fortitude and well-tried philosophy in accepting inevitable changes in domestic and social pro- grams While the United States as sumes widening responsibilities as the most fortunate of all countries, its citizens must take on added burdens. For years astrologers have warned of period when old things pass away and have urged the practice of thrift. Now is the time to work and to pray.
 Business Affairs: In the flood of prosperity which will enrich the nation many new methods of trade and exchange will prevail as fore runners of complete metamor- phosis of business usages and methods. Out of tangled financial and commercial conditions there will be evolved improved economic programs in which there will be true democracy in opportunity and it's rewards, the seers prophecy, but there will be severe transitions for many Americans accustomed to great wealth.
 National Issues: Unity of pur- pose will be demonstrated among citizens of all phases of political opinion as the full pattern of na- tional defense is developed. Fame is to come to men and women of varying points of view as they dem- onstrate true heroism in the com ing summer. In foreign lands Americans will distribute generous relief and perform noble service which will mean much in the fu- ture, after the horrors of war have been overcome.
 International Affairs: London as- trologers predict for the Earl of Athlone, Governor General of Can- ada, success in promoting the clos est relations between the Dominion and its neighbor, the United States. There is portent read as indi- eating trouble in the Northwest that will cause a sharing of de- fense movements. Canada is to &C., complish remarkable results in manufacturing and transportation which will aid Great Britain Se- were sacrifice for Canadian avia- tors and military men is prsaged, but great results will be achieved in the World War A new menace to shipping is prognosticated and treachery will cause a memorable tragedy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of aver age luck, but trials and even mis- fortunes may be experienced. It is! wise to defer changes.
 Children born on this day will be subject to mutations of fortune, but they probably will have extra ordinary talents and ability which

major portion of the game pursuing

George Washington played prob
ably its worst game under Coach
Bill Reinhart in absorbing that 23-O
paSting from Manhattan. The
Colonials' pass defense was shoddy.
their own passing was incompetent
and there was no great display of
brains in G. VS. quarterbacking.
Trailing. 0-16, early in the fourth
period with only a foot or so to go
for a first down at midheld, the
Colonials amazed spectators and
gratified the JaSperS by punting. AT
that point G.. w. conceded. electing
to play it safe when its only hope
rested in taking a legitimate gamble
The Colonials also may attempt
to show something in the passing
department. Washington and Lee,
defeated by SeWanee in its opener,
last week held Kentucky to a TO
score, chiefly due to vast improve

ATLANTA, Oct. 8.-If gridiron
warfare can be won in the air, Notre
Dame and Georgia Tech may set
some sort of endurance record for
pigskin pitching here next Satur-
day.
They meet for the fourth success
sive year, before an estimated SELL
out crowd of 30 900, and each goes
into the game with p great paSser
ready to heave the ball toward pay
off territory.
Tech still has to win game from
the South Bend Irish in the
current series. but Notre Dame
never has come home far in
front. In 1910 Notre Dame won a
1920 thriller at South Bend, and
in 1889 squeezed out l7-l4 triumph
in the same stadium after thor
ough scare by Techs midget Johnny
Bosch. The series began with a
14-6 decision in 1888.

Veteran Bill Alexander. starting

boys didn't show much, and Alex
admitted it.
They looked ragged against
Chattanooga, he said, but don't
sell them too short against Notre
Dame"
Press box observers, who watched
Bosch spark the team in its occa-
sional flashes of brilliance, thought
Alex might have something there.
Bosch, now weighing 165, was as fast
as ever at ball Juggling and displayed
deadly passing. He is teamed with
Techs sensational sophomore wing
back, lii Davey Eldredge, whom
Alex rates as the best broken-fleld
runner Tech has.
