TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18

IOESDA NOV VEMbER 10
 Benefic aspects which rule to- day should be fortunate for sign ing legal papers of all descriptions, even divorce decrees. There is a threatening sign for labor.
 HEART AND HOME Women are under the most favorable plane tary direction today. It is a time to pursue the hearts desire and to seek just the right employment. Warning is given that self decep- tion may be prevalent among girls who may imagine that they pos sess talents which do not exist in their mental endowment. This is a promising date for love af- fairs. Many older persons will marry to escape loneliness in a period of uncertainty in world evo- lution.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Lack of raw materials will affect many lines of manufacturing. Shortage of automobile parts and many es- sentials for repairing of machin- cry of many sorts is prognosticat- ed Rationing of many supplies will hamper merchandising, but Yam kee ingenuity will work out subj stitutes of various sorts which will prove satisfactory. Silks and satins will become curiositieS in next years wardrobes, it is forecast but fashion will offer compensations Buying should continue brisk all through the month.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: For more than two years astrologers have foretold that hospitals will need more beds and that facilities for looking after the ill and wounded should be doubled, but wholesale preparations for needs of the com ing winter have been neglected. AL though new methods of treatment, cause immunity of many persons from epidemics of disease the seers forecast for coming weeks much throat and lung infection. Safeguarding against bubonic plague and typhus is urged. Phy-s sicians and nurses will be in great demand through the winter
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :. Astrologers declare that if democ- racy is to be maintained it must have it's leadership in the United States. Canada, Argentina and our great country are all Cancer na- tions. World leadership after the second World War inevitably must be located here it is foretold. It has been prognosticated that to Us is given the responsibility of win- ming the conflict in Europe. Thus we are to show our true gratitude for all the benefits of democracy. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of upt heavals that bring good fortune. Young folk will cause anxiety and annoyance.
 Children born on this day may be inclined to be self-centered. They will be fortunate in their careers, although they may be impulsive,4 especially in love affairs.

 The great threat to the American fleet, he goes on has already been averted the possibility that it could have been caught unawares, as the Russian fleet was caught in 1904 at Port Arthur. The bulk of our Navy is practically on war footing, Harbor Were open hostilities to begin nothing would suit it's commanders more than an all-out fight at the earliest possible moment.
 Should Japan decide not to risk an all-out fight at first and to limit herself to hit-and-run engage ments, that strategy could be worked against her we'll as by her, and meanwhile the body of the Amer ican fleet would have crossed the Pacific toward harbors in Guam and the Philippines. If Guam and the Philippines had already been taken there would still be friendly bases in the Netherlands East Indies and at Singapore, and long-range blockade of the empire could be slowly frightened
 The important point, Captain Puleston concludes is that Japan could not blockade the United States even had our Navy suffered series of reverses while one positive victory the Japanese Navy would be decisive. He doesn't deny Japans power or the courage of the Japanese personnel, over look the possibility of having commitments at the same time elsewhere, or, for that matter regard the war itself as altogether inevitable But he how the wind is blowing in the Pacific and shapes his forecasts and draws his differences accordingly

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Supporting the plan of Chief of Staff Marshall to lower the age of Army commanders, War Department officials quote the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who fought in the Civil War. To Lady Pollock, during the Spanish-American War, he wrote: "A general of 45 and a private of 30 are old men," The Com merce Department has set up sep Iarate British Empire Unit, headed by w. Walton Butterworth, former State Department official in Lon don. His job is to establish closer commercial ties with British dom- inions and colonies. ... When a visitor asked boyish- looking Repre- sentative Victor Wickersham of Ok. lahoma, rookie successor to the late Sam Massingale, if he was "old enough to be. in Congress" Wick ersham, 35, replied with grin, I'm old enough to be elected President. However, I'm not running this year" -. Twenty-six yeasr ago Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt toted a friends baby son around the old Poughkeepsie, N. r., Savings Bank, much to the amuse- ment of Judge John E. Mack, who later nominated FDR for President. The other day, on the anniversary of the incident, the baby-Charles Durant Maines of Flint, Mich.-was inducted into the Army.

 long way from Crete, and early 1885, four Franklin gders, each carrying passenger, were successfully strung together and lowed into the air at the annual meet of the Soaring Society in up- State New York The airplane used for motive power comparatively small Waco single -engined craft of the private airplane type.

 L. c. Kitchener, Ieft-wing Pacific Coast director of the CIO Auto Workers, told newsmen in Wash ington that the walkout at the North American Aviation Co.,, at Inglewood, Calif., was not the result of any action by the unions nego- tiators in Washington. Yet the Med- iation Board has evidence that a message was sent from Washington urging strike, despite an agree ment by the union not to shut down the plant while negotiations were in progress.
 Several hours after this message reached Inglewood, the Board says, Wyndham Mortimer. left-wing or ganizer of the Auto Workers, sud denly arrived there and went into a secret conference with the. local union leaders. Next morning the plant, piled high with U. s. and British plane orders, was struck.

OUR NAVY AND JAPAN'S

Our ambitious friends the Japanese, if they happen to have extra merchant ship lying idle anywhere might dispatch it to the nearest Ameri- can port at the first opportunity to pick up sig able consignment of copies of new book by Capt. w. D. Pueston, U.S.N, The title of the book is "The Armed Forces of the Pacific Comparison of the Military and Naval Power of the United States and Japan"
 The details involved may not come as much of shock to the staff of the Foreign Office in Tokyo to the staffs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Marine, but they ought to arouse an almost morbid interest among Japanese in general.
 Captain Puleston, number of Japanese al- ready know, of liaison officers with the Imperial Navy in 1917, and recently before his retirement, held the post of Director of our Naval Intelligence Service He has long been interested in Japan in other words and not merely in the scenic beauties of the country its charming customs and quaint traditions, either.
 Here he raises the issue of how long it will take the United States to smash Japan after war in the Pacific finally begins. That is fairly blunt way of describing his book, but that is about what it to. Under normal circumstances discussion of this kind would hardly to improve relations between Washington and Tokyo If enough Japanese to read Captain Puleston there might be signs of change overnight, and in the end considerable improvement.
 He argues that Japan would necessarily be de- feated in the end. The relative strengths of the Japanese and American fleets he puts at to 10 and the effect of the present building programs will only increase the disparity. There is way of knowing exactly, he admits, how many ships Japan is planning to lay down has already laid down. but on March l, 1941 an official estimate in Washington put the figure at 3s, as compared to 367 for the United States.
 Captain Puleston insists that Japan in terms of her verified capacity to build and her indicated po- tential, begin to catch up. He points out,

HOROSCOPE. "The stdrs incline r
 but do not compel ''o.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE II

Adverse aspects rule through the morning hours when there may se disturbing news that causes differ ences in interpretation. Labor comes under benefic planetary in- fluences in the afternoon and eve- ming.
 Heart and Home: Constructive and progressive tasks will flourish today when women of all ages will be interested in public matters. So- cial affairs are under favorable sway. Girls friendships with young men in uniform will be fortunate, because the pageantry and hystefa of war will be absent. Many TO- mances will develop rapidly, but they will be sane and will bring together congenial personalities. This month is to be memorable for college folk who begin careers of unusual drama and heroic pos abilities.
 Business Affairs: Mining will en- gage attention of persons interest ed in procuring rare minerals in demand by makers of munitions. Oil probably will be discovered in new regions and again Shale will emit valuable content Methods Aof economizing in the use of gasoline will be discovered and synthetic fuel will be produced. The natural resources of the United States will prove to be even more amazing than generally recognized. ennlej
 National Issues: There will be ga refugee problem as thousands of war victims are received in the United States where selfish persons accept them as unwelcome guests. The stars presage splendid contri- buttons in science, the arts and handicrafts from those who have fled from their native lands. Great benefits as well as increased re- responsibilities are forecast for this country which is to become the most powerful and most prosperous on the globe. alns
 International Affairs: Japan is to confront increasing internal dif- faculties while continuing to nurse grandiose ideas of dominating Asia. Astrologers have foretold that con- nection with the Axis would be un- fortunate and that conflict with Russia would be inevitable within three or four years. There is a sign read as presaging an attempt to surprise island possessions in the Pacific. Naval activities in which the United States is involved are prophesied, but they may be of little importance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of anxie- ties due to disrupting influences, but help from friends will inS41 success and good fortune.
 Children born on this day preb- ably will be shrewd, clever and am bilious. They may be decidedly in- dependent and contradictory in character, but fortunate careers are indicated.

However, Orton's defiance already is playing hob with organized labor as a whole on Capitol Hill. It has clinched the early enactment of leg islation that will curb the right of labor to strike in defense industries. Even if he wanted to, Roosevelt now couldn't stop it. The bill would be passed overwhelmingly over his veto
 Coming on top of the breach of contract by the AFL and C1O machinists in San Francisco, tying up $500, 100000 worth of desperately needed shipping. and the outbreak of exorbitant pay shakedown strikes on defense projects by AFL building trade unions, the Orton incident was the last straw.
 Senate, George Norris, lifelong champion of labor, succinctly sum- med up the situation with these words: If organized labor has de- liberately set out to cut its own throat, the job could not have been done more effectively than these so- called labor leaders have done it."
 Some members of the Mediation Board are convinced that there is a central directing force behind the outbreak of defiant leftist-led strikes in key defense industries on the Pacific Coast.
 Exactly who is doing this secret master -minding they don't know. but they believe that the situation is part of deliberate policy aimed at sabotaging the defense program. These are some of the inside facts on which they base this view: AS z
