HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, APRIL 13,

Adverse planetary aspects rule .oday which may be exceedingly depressing to those who study world events. It is a time not favorable to reaching conclusions regarding any subject. The worst gill seem about to happen.
 Heart and Home: Both men and Fomen will turn to religion for consolation and the churches will ,enefit greatly through united ef- 7ort toward high attainment Warning is given that cults of various sorts will gain supporters, especially among women. Interest in the study of Old Testament prophecies will be widespread as days of tribulation continue in Europe and Asia. The seers de- clare that after old things have passed away new and better so- cial order is inevitable.
 Business Affairs: Because the United States is to reflect to a certain degree the financial insta- bility and strain of Europe, the greatest care should be given to investments. With much money in circulation wage earners should ex- ercise the utmost caution regarding their savings. Home-Owning should be a first concern, it is empha- sized, and speculation of every sort should be avoided. Before the end of the month new perplexities may be prevented.
 National Issues: Many centers oi manufacturing will cope with new problems regarding school accom- modations for the children oi workers mobilized or war indus tries. Educators will emphasize the importance of molding youthful minds in a period of war agita- tion. Because the future of the na- tion depends upon the citizens oi tomorrow, wisdom must guide teachers whose influence extends beyond the present Sime of strair and uncertainty.
 International Affairs: Astrolo- gers declare that the coming sum mer may be as important a turn ng-point for Japan as March, 1854 when the first formal treaty with western nation was signed. Ger. l tain portents are read as indicat. ing that grandiose ambitions vii encourage the taking of desperats chances. A swift move in the Pa. cific is prognosticated. This will bt taken when the United States i! off guard, if possible, and there may be a temporary advantage | gained.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the augury of year of ac, tivity and excitement. There vii be substantial gains in money ant prestige with few minor losses it is likely. "
 Children born on this day prob ably will have much good forum, in opportunities as well as finan ces. They should be extraordinaril, careful in managing property.

CONGRESSIONAL AIR ESCAPE

O~' <AAAN GoNh1 I
 On their way to Corpus Christi, Texas, to participate in the opening of the Navy's great new training station, members of the House Nav al Affairs Committee were flown over Atlanta so they might view the scene of the airline crash that killed their colleague, Representative Will liam Byron of Maryland.
 On their way back, not far frorn the same place, the party had the hair-raising experience of almost crashing themselves.
 The incident was hushed up, but the Navy transport plane carrying the group plunged 1000 feet in a crazy spiral that still has the boys jittery. The plane seemed complete ly out of control as it zigzagged earthward, and those aboard thought they were goners.
 To add to their fears, Represen- tative Mel Maas of Minnesota, World War flyer, and Marine Air Reserve Colonel, who was in the clntrol room. threw open the door ano yelled what some thought was a command to put on parachutes. , Actually Maas shouted, "Fasten your safety belts." but he was misunder. stood in the wild confusion.
 Luckily, the big transport hat been flying at l3.000 feet and the pilot was able to right the ship.

ancient pastime of golf as an ac-

How War Hits Pipe Smokers

possible all-American pipe wood
is mountain laurel. Like the
European brier this belongs TO
the heath family and has the
same traits that make good pipe
wood The big trouble is that
mountain laurel is relatively
scarce and the roots small.
The Southwest's candidate for
pipes is Texas mesquite There is
plenty of it. but getting the
roots is really work. No Ameri-
can tree has deeper ones and so
and so feet depths are common
The final substitute for brier
says the Review of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. is the
English yew and British pipe
makers are working on this
one.
Turning out good pipe bowl
is no simple task. 1t takes the
heath tree 20 to so years to grow
roots large enough.
The snaky roots are immersed
in water so they will not dry
and crack. They are then sawed
into little blocks. The blocks are
again boiled for IL hours in water
to make them pick up still more
moisture to prevent cracking be
fore they can be carved into
pipes.
