BRITAIN STILL DIGS GOLD

Economists, pseudo economists, and so-called monetary reformers have had favorite topic on which to write pamphlets the past few years
 Yes, of course you've guessed it, that topic has been GOLD. Thousands of pages have been filled with black print about the place of the yellow metal in the new economy" to come
 As a result, people who under ordinary circum- stances might be anxious to supply capital for the development of promising properties have been a bit hesitant The squat shadow of Hitler on the European horizon, the warnings that Nazi victory in Europe will mean the end of the power of gold in world economics-these forebodings have prompted the speculaors to keep their hands in their pockets in a well wait and see what happens" attitude.
 The would-be economists apt to point to the fact that the United States has approximately 30 percent of the worlds gold supply buried in the ground at Fort Knox and other federal Repositories
 How" they ask, "can we expect the other tions to trade with gold standard basis when they have practically gold of their own? We have gold to offer them, but what going to accept from the other nations for goods must export?"
 Maybe there smart economists in the British Isles, at any rate the British don't seem particularly worried about their gold losing it's value
 We hear lot of brave, stories from Britain about business usual" in the stolid British ner while London is bombed and the island threat ened. As matter of fact, we know that just in this country but so every able bodied British citizen who is not holding necessary posi- tion with industry which is vital to the welfare of the nation or required to carry out the war, is drafted into actual defense services As never be- fore, Englands manhood is her lifeline
 But at the same time, business seems to be going along better than usual in the British Trans vaal in South Africa, where reports tell of more gold being dug than before. In the month of May, total of 1,219,O6S ounces of gold were taken from Transvaal mines to set new high record for production of the mineral in single month there

 The story persists that Herr Hitler was dissuad- ed from invading Sweden by red button. The Swedes made it known that at the first sign of entry into their kingdom, certain "red button would be pressed, which would put all the iron mines of Sweden out of commission for at least two years. Only three men in Sweden knew the where abouts of this potent "red pushbutton," and their identity a closely guarded secret
 It may be just romance, but it's good yarn It has basis in reason too Swedens iron mines producing that could be had for cash con- sideration were worth to Hitler than all Sweden without them.
 Elsewhere, it all different. Not even a million Red buttons could dissuade Hitler from in- vadng that vast expanse of the earths surface, the United Socialist Soviet Republic of Russia

NORWAY HEAVILY FORTIFIED

Since then another plan for pos sible British invasion of Norway has been discussed. However, this also is difficult. The Nazis now have ten divisions in Norway; more important, they have been work ing feverishly with characteristic German thoroughness to fortify Norwegian ports and possible in- vasion points.
 The chief factor holding back the British, however, has been their lack of armored equipment. AL though the British army is about 100000 strong, only about 750,000 men are fully armed with modern equipment. And the most serious defect in their equipment is the lack of tanks. s.
 Vast numbers of tanks were lost by the British at Dunquerque, a loss which as not yet been replen-

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, AUGUST IA

| AOoOo4
 This is not an important day in planetary direction with bene- fife and adverse aspects conflict ing The morning is likely to be more fortunate than the latter part of the day.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are subject to a sway which is not altogether fortunate under this con- figuration. They may be restless and even dissatisfied, but should find pleasure in hard and lnselfish work. There may be a tendency toward misjudgment of friends CT criticism of members of the family. There is sign read as indicating bad news of some sort regarding war regulations affecting sons or others close to one. This is not a date for signing any sort of con- tract and yet it is promising to initiative. It, should be lucky time to begin new tasks. The seers prom ise that through many tribulations better civilization will finally emerge.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Rise in living costs now will be felt as merchants and manufacturers hesi- tate to profit by the effects of world war conditions, for there will be high sense of patriotism as class feeling veers or disappears. Prosperity will compensate for many ills. A shortage of hands in many factories will be alleviated by the work of women and men who usually belong to the white collar group of workers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Expression of resentment toward citizens born in countries now enemies of the United States will cause much need less unhappiness. Thoughtless per- sons by word and deed will offend naturalized citizens and there will be need of stern measures to pre- vent injustice and even persecution. Prejudice and suspicion should be overcome by all Americans who are truly patriotic. It must be remem- bered that the men who fight and die under the Axis flags are help less and also ignorant of the facts behind the conflict.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Proof of the efficie gained through years of Nazi training for European domination will be seen in heavy loses by the Allies. Des- perate fighting is indicated before another winter brings added hor- TOTS to the world war. It will be remembered that astrologers long have foretold supreme events in which this nation will be necessar-. fly involved. The United States Navy has been foreseen in decisive battles.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex- traordinary experiences which may change the point of view regarding politics and economics. Success and. progress are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and charming, but too much inclined to enjoy life. They should be taught the value of time and money.

Spices Lift the Simple Pot Roast
Into the "Special' Dinner Class

It's really a shame that some peo-
ple save the pot roast for dinners
when no outsider is expected-these
are people however, who have not
learned of the wonders one can do
to said pot-roast with the simple aid
of herbs, spices, etc. And for the
housewife who is expecting company
this type roast is a blessing in more
ways than one inasmuch as she can
put it on and literally forget it until
dinner time. If it is done before
time, it can always be turned off, and
then given short heating at the
proper time-all in all, cooked in this
manner it's a very dependable thing.

RADIANT LIVING
Men of Four Faces
BY Rev. G. M. Griffith
Cecilton, Md.


You have heard of Janus, the Ro-
man god, who was considered to be
the porter of heaven. One of his re-
sponsible duties was to open the doors
of each new year. In fact, even to-
day, the first month Of each new
year is named in his honor.
The peculiar feature about Janus
was that he had two faces; one look
ing forward and the other looking
backward, just like door that swings
both in and out. Because he could
look both in and out at the same
time was perhaps the reason he was
considered to be the patron deity of
all entrances and exits.
When we read Ezekiel, however, we
find him speaking of four men who
had, not two, but four faces. Wrote
he: GAS for the likeness of their
faces, they four had the face of a
man, and the face of lion, on the
right side: and they four had the
face of an OK on the left side: They
four also had the face of an eagle"
There is no question about Ezekiel
being symbolic in his language here
What he is giving here is pictorial
expression of four outstanding quail
tiles of character which each Of these
four men possessed. They possessed
the qualities of a man, lion, an OK
and an eagle.
For instance, in speaking of these
men as having a face of a man, HI
is pointing out that they were mel
of wisdom, sagacity, and prudence
In stating that they also had face'
like lions he is declaring they wer
men of courage, boldness, and mas
terry. In like manner the faces o
oxen suggest their quality of strength
of patience, and of ability to- &C
complish heavy tasks. In addition +
all this, the eagle face reveals them t
be men able to mount up out Of tn
valley of conflict into the heights o
victory.
What a phalanx Of character wit
which to face the world! Such me
were able to meet any attact Of tn
evils of the world not only by tn
wisdom of human intelligence, and b
the courage of the lion, but also b
the strength of the OK, and by tn
ability to soar above it all becaus
they had the lifting power of tn
eagle.
Such are the traits Of characte
that give life radiance. And such al
the traits of character that men di
walk with the Christ.
