cude deaths from influenza and other diseases. There is good to believe that the corresponding losses in the present painfully higher. By the end of November, 1940, nearly 10000 had lost their lives in air raids. How many drowned at is not known
 The heaviest loss of life among civilians occurred on the Continent The number of Warsaw's dead alone reached estimated 5OO00; in Belgium and Northern France 10000 refugees died; Rotterdam's lead are placed at 3000O To what extent German md Italian towns have suffered is not known Only iragmentary data exist for losses among noncom- oatants in Belgian and French cities which were oombarded or bombed. The estimate of 100000 ivilian lives lost is probably too low rather than 5oo high.
 Civilian deaths differenfiate this war from the ast. From 1914 to 1918 the ratio of civilian to mili- ary deaths was to 75 in the present war it is sready to 3. But the worst may still lie ahead. Iot only may we expect more heavy casualties in ities as the direct result of bombing, but we have till to reckon with the dreadful possibilities of ,pidemic diseases, associated with crowding in shell CTS, malnurition the breakdown of sanitary facili ies the pollution of water supplies infection by in- sects and rats and the weakening of resistance by hunger and cold

Funny Nose Flies High
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The Army is going back to air-cooed motors for pursuit planes according to late information out of Washington. For two years the Army had considered .he liquid cooled type to be superior
 Air-cooled motors generally used in aircraft, in transports in commercial planes of all sorts, and in the private planes which hover about the little arports scattered all over the land
 The automobile driver probably wonders why air cooling is standard in aviation while every motorst pours water into his radiator The reasons are simple.
 Because the automobile crawls along the ground necessary. This blower consumed large part of the power, which meant loss in efficiency.
 In an airplane the strong air currents remove the need of blower Since speed is the prime con- sideration in military craft the efficient motor is he one which develops the greatest power, and with ar cooling nearly twice much power has been developed as with the other type
 The reason for this is simple also Higher cyl nder temperatures be utilized with air cooling than with liquid. Commonly used in an airplane radiator is chemical which boils at 387 degrees, which sets the upper limit of operation The auto mobile, using water, must operate below the boiling point.
 Air-cooled motors less vulnerable One bullet through a radiator and all must bail out.
 Motorists will be interested to know also that the air-cooled arpane motor is a direct descendant of the Franklin automobile. whose funny nose was so familiar on the streets few years ago.

WAR AND THE CIVILIAN

Long before Germany invaded Poland it was freely predicted that civilians would not be spared in another and that whole cities would be laid waste Cities have indeed been subjected to ruthless bombardment civilians in greater danger than the armed forces-a least in Great Britain but as yet the predictions have not been completely fulfilled.
 What the future may bring forth no one can foretel It is evident that loss of life among non combatants in the present war has already been far greater than in the last Though accurate figures not yet available the statistical depart ment of of our life insurance companies has gathered enough to indicate the terrifying depths to which totalitarian sink.
 From 1914 to 1913 deaths from military action were at least 100000; from the invasion of Poland to date about 100000 Civilian losses for the period l914-l9 probably did not exceed 100000 if we ex-

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY [

Adverse planetary aspects strongly dominate today. The early hours, however, are promising for inter views with bankers or business heads. Receptions and misunder- standings are numerous under this configuration.
 Heart and Home: Conscription of the nation, which has been sug- gested, would be unnecessary if the spirit of college girls is the stan- dard for the young women of Am erica. Intensive study of nursing, cooking and institutional manage ment now should be widely sought by those who foresee the need Of their service in national defense preparations. Astrologers stress the importance of women in the sup port of democracy. Technical train ing in many vacations is urged Mothers should encourage their daughters to be ready to aid their country.
 Business Affairs: Extraordinary efficiency will now develop among workers in factories, shops and other places which are working on government contracts. Generous contributions will be made this month for the relief of war vic- tins. Revelations regarding condi- tions in Europe will loosen Ameri- can purse strings, while methods of reaching the needy will be worked out carefully Helpless and starving children will become of first concern among club women, anxious to rescue the suffering from starvation and disease. .ff'qi
 National Issues: Government em- ployment of men and women known to have been active in radical or ganizations will arouse public Opin- ion Danger from fifth columnists will be recognized as amazingly widespread, but neglect to purge subversive employees engaged in preparedness activities will cause major catastrophe, the seers prophecy. The stars are read as warning that enemies will concen- trate attention upon the United States, but their campaign methods will be secret and treacherous. We'll meaning persons will become tools of foreign agents; perils are most threatening in quarters which are overlooked.
 International Affairs: The planet Pluto, supposed to have an influ- ence which causes sudden crisis, is in an aspect read as presaging sur prises of serious intent and grave results. In England the long strain of aerial assaults is now to be seen in the serious physical condition of many Londoners. Disease resulting from the exposure and discomforts

DIPLOMATS AND DUCKS

It. Colonel Jose Bina Macado, Brazilian Military Attache in Wash ngton, went over to Elkton, Mary and, for the duck shooting. A train ed marksman, he soon had bagged eight fine ducks.
 But the genial Colonel, unaware of Maryland's laws, did not know that he was supposed to have a hunting license. Approached by an officer of the law, who asked to see a li- cense, Machado obligingly produced a card from his wallet.
 Here is my identification card" le said, signed by Cordell Hull"
 But" exclaimed the officer, Cor dell Hull has nothing to do with duck shooting!"
 NOTE: Colonel Machado immed- lately purchased a hunting license and the incident was forgotten. But the Minister of Persia arrested in Elkton for speeding several years ago, protested so vigorously that the State Department demanded the dismissal of the policeman, and the Shah of Persia withdrew his Min ster from the U. s.

and immediate repercussions in South America
 He warned that local Nazi-Fascist parties would attempt to seize power in at least hall dozen countries, probably resulting in civil war which Hitler would exploit to the limit, And where totalitarian regimes oid succeed in gaining a foothold, Hull pointed out that Hitler would i'm mediately establish bases for mili- tary operation to strike at other parts of Latin America and the United States.
 Hull mentioned no names and was not pressed for any In fact, the two isola tionist warriors present, Nye of North Dakota and Clark of Missouri, handled him with kid gloves throughout the proceedings
 Hull was priined to meet their at tack head-on, but they didn't give him a chance to work on them. Both Senators were respectful and cir cumspect in their questioning.

Fifty years is long time in Alaska and rare indeed is the northern firm which is able to look back over history of half a century. The B. M Behrends Bank today becomes one of those rare few.
 The Behrends Bank oldest in Alaska had its beginning in the trust which the early miners of Juneau placed in the communitys pioneer merchant, B. M BehTends. Alaskans, engaged in hard work in this country, would leave their savings at the Behrends store for safekeeping Eventually the B M Behrends Bank developed to fill the need which in the Juneau mining camp.

IsoLATIoNIsT DEBATE

Friends of the lend-lease bill ran up against stone wall when they tried to get big-gun educator to answer the radio attack of Robert Hutcnins handsome young President of Chicago University.
 Harvard President James Conant. although strong advocate of all out aid to Britain, declined to fire back at Hutchins So did Guy s. Ford. head of the University of Min neSota, another ti-isolationist. Both gave excuses. but it was clear they didn't want to tangle with Hutchins.
 For lack of college head. an ef- fort was made to secure Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota, who had repeatedly declared for aid to Britain But he too ducked, although he endorsed the lend-lease bill with a few reservations and his close political buddy, Wendell Willkie, is in London in behalf of the measure.

Classify this remark by the head of the British public education system grim huinor. Citizens Of Birmingham, indignant at the number of school houses destroyed by Nazi bombs, suggested that German schools be bombed in reprisal The presi- dent of the Board of Education said that this would be nhuman and against the laws of war. But, in addition, the Nazi education is so debasing the German character and bunting the intelligence of the German youth that in our own interest it would be pity to interfere with the continuance of that process. Presumably the saddest fate that can overtake the German people is to have them attain the ideal set up for them by their Naz masters
