JOIN THE FIGHT!

In an era overshadowed by hate and destruction a mobilization to fight disease and safeguard health is an inspiring spectacle It challenges the finer instincts in mankind, and 1uickens pulses slowed by despair over gloomy future It assures us that at least some of todays effort is going into the making of better world of tomorrow.
 The local and national campaign to raise funds for the treatment and eradication of infante paraly sis reflects a national determination not to con- premise with dread enemy of mankind-an or ganisn so small that not the most powerful microscope will define it. but so vicious that it mains kills children, men, and women. For Is decades science has sought vainly to come to grips with the deadly virus of nfantile paralysis.
 Of necessity, the public must remain on the sdelnes in this battle which is being waged in the quiet of laboratories and hospitals But the public's role s vital It is an expensive business to treat and seek a for infantile paralysis, and from public sources must come the funds for it.
 Americas annual effort to provide adequate funds for the fight against infantile paralysis-in- spred by President Rooseve-finanres activity olong broad front. There have been seven annual cam- paigns, and in 1888 formed the National Foun- dation for Inantile Paralysis to coordinate the medical schools have been endowed for research and 90 grants have been made to hospitals and other institutions for preventive and curative work.
 Thirty million dimes is the goal of the cam pagn this year The campaign should not lack support. By contributing little a dime you can strike a blow against an enemy cruel as relentless, and as resourceful as any this nation ever warred against.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not com,pe"
FRIDAY, JANUARY 24

Adverse aspects rule today. It is unfavorable for beginning anything important. Labor is under a threat ening sign which encourages un- wise leadership. GEN
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration there may be an ip- clination toward deception or even false statements. The young of the family may be inclined toward too much independence, but the stars seem to promise that they will become serious in their aims. The pursuit of pleasure by young and old should be limited, for as trologers declare that in the Unit ed States prosperity has encouraged selfish interest in amusement.
 Business Affairs: This is not an suspicious date for any sort of initiative. The wise will watch the handwriting on the wall which now warns that any diplomatic misstep may be of serious consequences, since production and distribution assure the maintenance of the na- tion in a period of supreme crisis. Prosperity will continue and must be used wisely in providing ade quate preparedness for any assault or aggression.
 National Issues: Congress is to have a session of historical i'm portance. Members now will real ize that they have the heaviest of responsibility in the preservation of our great democracy. The stars indicate much illness among mem bers and the rise of strong leaders who belong to the group that is serving first or second terms. Men of real strength will prove their true patriotism The Vice President is to gain wide acclaim.
 International Affairs: Canada will work quietly toward the vic tory of the British Empire. While her men fight bravely the Domin- ion will develop it's industries mar velously. With the Earl of Athlone as Governor General all the re- sources of the land will be used successfully in providing for the needs of the beleaguered British Isles. Fire is to learn sad lesson in its neutrality stand. the seers foretell.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good and i'll fortune. While financial matters prosper there may be losses or heavy expenditures.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be talented in the arts or sciences. They may have varied careers, due to lack of business sagacity.

Britain's Answer
Cincinnati Enouirer

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 There time, recently two years ago, when Messrs. Hitler and Mussoni felt confident of their power of bluff that they wont to give orders to the British Government. Mussolini, early in 1888, openly demanded the retirement of Anthony Eden from the Chamberlain cabinet, speaking through of his several mouthpieces
 A few days later Chamberlain opened appease- opposition and behind his back. Eden had no all formative but to resign. In effect although not in form he was dismissed from the British cabinet by the Premier of Italy
 Hitler, on several occasions, mentioned Eden and Churchill by name the two EngliShmen who must not hold places of authority at London-if Britain wanted to get on comfortably with Germany. And until actually came Chamberlain carefully kept Churchill out of the cabinet, though strong popular demands for his appointment to the cabinet were made.
 Churchill has risen steadily to the highest politi- cal office in Great Britain. Eden has reganed his former post at the Foreign Office, although more slowly. Hitler and Mussoini at last face the two they most eager to avoid. The very fact that Churchill and Eden together in the cabinet is proof of Britain's determination to the through.
 They a notice to the dictators that the game of bluff is over, and that Fascism can win only f 1t muster the strength to invade and conquer Great Britain Indeed, it is not certain that even this will give them victory For Churchill has put himself record determined to continue the war from the empire, no matter what happens to the British Isles

 The shortage of producing fla cilities is both in the steel industry and among the fabricators, which also lack skilled labor for this type of work But the newly or dered equipment, even when in stalled still will not answer the problem. It is not as simple as that.
 The European belligerents are in furious race to improve the ar nor protection and fire-power of their planes, and fighting craft which are the latest models today may be obsolete six months hence.
