HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, JUNE 12

Good and evil planetary influ- ences are discerned in the horo- scope for today. There is sign promising good luck for shipping, but again Labor is under adverse direction.
 Heart and Home: The stars favor clear thinking and general pre- occupation regarding war prepara- tions. It is an suspicious date for beginnings, including new acquain- tances. Girls may be happy in friendships started with young men, for heads control hearts un- der this configuration. Self-reliance should be cultivated by women of all ages. Management of the fam fly finances will be more and more the task of wives and mothers who should study economics and avoid all types of speculation.
 Business Affairs: Keen foresight will be recognized as most fortu- nate for the United States Govern ment which will safeguard many commercial interests. Farmers are to profit under conditions caused by national emergency. The stars seem to presage an agricultural experiment for the benefit of refugees. Great acreageS of uncul- tivated land will be scientifically treated and wisely managed next year, it is prognosticated. Money now will flow freely through the martS of trade. ffisft
 National Issues: Changes in the Presidents Cabinet and in the heads of defense commissions are again prophesied. Speed in accom- plishment will be insistently de- manded by the people of the Unit ed States wherever they have en- trusted preparedness responsibii- ties to trained executives. Dangers from secret and treacherous meth ods of injuring the nation are prognosticated Agents from Axis powers will harass Washington through many organizations wide- ly scattered. There is a sign read as warning that character analysis should precede Federal appoint ments.
 International Affairs: Heavy losses of British fighters are prog nosticated as the summer advances. If this second World War proves to be Armageddon all nations will give their blood in the frightful conflict. Astrologers disagree re- garding interpretations of the as- poets governing the planet Earth at this time. They all declare, how ever, that there can be no com promise in peace settlements. This is an evolution as well as a revolu- ton for the thing called civiliza- tion.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune with distinct progress in business or professional careers. Pleasant surprises and happy friendships will assure pleasant months.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be clever to the point of brilliancy, lovers of poetry and the arts, and altogether fortunate. Copyright, 194D

SACRAMENTO, ept. 5. CUP) -
County and state leaders meet
here today to discuss Gov. Gull
bert Olson's proposed relief pro-
gram, a substitute for the dole
which was discontinued when the
1941 legislature failed to provide
funds for the state relief admin

Seeking to avoid a special ses-

lieves the unemployment relief load

through federal-state financing.
Among those summoned to the

county relief efforts were c. E.

Canned Sunshine
Cooker Remains
Dee p Mystery

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 5. CUP
Sydney Payne, q 45-year-old WPA
timekeeper whose canned sunshine"
produced jams and jellies which
won the state fair prize, today dis
closed some-but not all-of the
secrets of the "sun oven" he used
to make the prize winning foods.
I've been cooking my jams, jel-
lies, meats and vegetables with sun
heat stored up for many months .
Payne said. I have been able to
store the heat for as long as a
year"
Payne was secretive about the
exact details of his sun oven, on
which he hopes to obtain patents.
He had not intended to announce
the results of his work yet, but when
his prize winning jams and jellies
surpassed the best entries of wom-
en- at the fair he told a little of the
story.
The sun oven, he said, is about
II feet long and Az feet high and
has three compartments. He uses
magnifying glasses to capture the
suns rays and regulates the intens-
ity of the heat by fitting the lenses.
The inner lining of the oven is
a kind of pyreX glass with eXpan-
sion joints to- take care of chang
ing temperatures. Inside the glass
lining a vacuum is created, and
the glass is covered with asbestos,
concrete and terra Gotta for per-
feet insulation.
I've been working on this idea
most of my life Payne said. II
built the oven away from my home
in a secret place to keep anyone
from seeing it.
I think I'll have something for
the good of all mankind when
get solar heat developed for large
scale use. You can't beat the suns
heat for cooking. The only cost is
the original insulation.
when the earth runs out of gas
and oil there is no reason why we
can't use the suns rays"

down, and heal his son: FOR he was
