the United States was really go- ing in for National Defense. But after nine months of strenuous ef- fort, the Rockefeller baby-thanks to the State Department-is still unborn.
 The baby was the prainchild of Karl Bickel, fortnight ex-chief of the United Press and adviser to the Rockefeller Committee. Bickel, who has had long experience in Latin America, knew that the Latin Americans were frankly dubious whether the United States really would build up an army and navy; were pondering whether it wasn't better for them to cast in their lot with Hitler rather than take chanc- es on an unarmed U.S.A. Y
 So Bickel prepared an illustrated book with graphic photos of Ameri- can battleships, shipyards, tanks, airplanes. etc. It was an imposing presentation, done in four colors with Life" and other illustrated magazines giving their fullest CO., operation. The book showed con- clusUely that this country was rapidly arming.
 Proof-sheets of the book were sent to the State Department, were OK'd, and the book was printed.
 Then suddenly the State Depart ment held up its hands m horror, and forbade shipment. Reason: Title of the book was 'En 'Marche. 1" meaning On the March"
 This, it was felt, might offend our Good Neighbors, might make them feel we were marching on them. So despite the fact that the State De- partment already had approved text and title. the book was placed in a storehouse and has been there ever since.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do mot coppe"
SATURDAY, JULY 19

SA1 OhDhI, JOLI lo \
 Benefic aspects dominate today It is suspicious for recreation and water journeys should be most for tunate. It is a lucky day for asso- ciation with yacht owners. y
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under a fortunate direction of the stars, lucky for young and old. Girls may expect romance; engagements under this configuration should, be most fortunate. It is a happy date for Inequalities and most promising to young actresses and musicians The seers emphasize their predic- tion of social and financial changes following the close of the war. Young folks who marry must ex- pect many tests to character.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Important opportunities for young college men are forecast. Employment in highly technical vacations will mean fu- ture success for both boys and girls. Prosperity this year will give im- petus to many careers, but there are omenS of severe tests i'll the future when readjuStmentS in the world of trade and commerce will bring about strange conditions. The wise will refrain from extravaganza as they build for the future when mill lions who have borne arms must share with thousands of refugees the wonderful benefits of the Unit- ed States. 9a;ssl
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Greed and patriotism, graft and loyalty will conflict in the minds of many per- sons who fix their eyes on profits instead of national ideals. Scandals will be revealed in connection with few contracts and these will be employed by subversive agencies to undermine public confidence. The seers warn that real perils exist in any sort of political power which extends special privileges for either men in the service of the country or for those who are entrusted with defense contracts.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: AstrOlogers have warned repeatedly that treacherous peace suggestions and actual overtures for an armis- tice may be most unfortunate for the democracies, if they are taken under serious consideration. The stars appear to presage many months of conflict in which there will be grave setbacks for Britain and her allies. Ultimate victory is prophesied, but it will be bought at tremendous cost not yet even imagined by most residents of the United States
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of chang eS aIiu unusual activities It is an importnt period for these subjects of Cancer.
 Children born on this day prob ably will experience much good for tune. Many will receive legacies from relatives.

Readers Digest, which circulates extensively in Latin America. How ever, the State Department object ed that the Portuguese translation was not good enough and again it held up the books.
 Finally, after long arguments and great delay, some copies of Why We Arm" are beginning to trickle down to South America. But now with shipping space at premium, it is difficult to send them.
 In disgust, Karl Bickel has re- linquished his no-dollar-a- year sal- ary and has quietly faded out of the picture.

METHOD

Place a btshel or a bushel and a hall
of seed in the solid tub Pour On the
acid. The amount that is used viii DE-
pend on the grade used. For acid OF
&C degrees Baume' the amount will be
about pounds per bushel for unde-
Tinted seed and five for seed delnted
at the mill The poorer grades Of acid
that are used by the fertilizer COM
panies in the manufacture of acid
phosphate as high as Is pounds may be
necessary. Stir well with paddles un-
til a sticky mass is formed and the
lint is dissolved at which time the seed
will be black. Stirring should be a.
voided as the acid tends to settle to the
bottom ..n.tIm4aE 4
AS soon as the delintins is complete,
fill the tub quickly with running water
to prevent heating Of the seed mass
due to the combination of the acid wa
ter. Running water is best as it must
be added rapidly. If running water is
not available a large container of 8
large tub filled with water should be
at hand. Stir the seed thoroughly in
the water and pour seed and water into
the strainer which should be placed
over a trench or a hole to facilitate
disposal of the acid and water. The
seed are then washed by turning q
stream of water on them and stirring
until they are practically free of acid
when they have only a slightly sour
taste. Several washings in fresh water
should be sufficient to. remove the acid
when running water is not available
The seed should be spread on sheets
or canvas to dry away from sunlight
They can then be planted Immediately
or sacked and kept until ready for use.
The seed should be left in the acid
pnly long enough for removal of the
lint. Water should be added quickly in
the amount to fill the tub. Do moi
leave seed standing in the wash water
WARNING
When handling the acid use care as
it will blister or burn the skin and
easily eat through clothes with great
rapidity. Keep your hands out of the

way to tally up her sales, at the end of the day; and helped her get her stock all neatly hung. Mise Getz was a wizard with the stock, her long years of experience evident in the very way she touched @ dress.
 But Miss Getz walked heavily, when no one was looking. She peered through surreptitiously lifted oxford glasses, behind the fitting rooms, in order to read the size and price on a tag. She had habit of looking over her shoul- der nervously, every now and then, and flddling with the glasses dangling from the old-fashioned fleur- -de-lis on her breast.
 It was Miss Getz, indirectly, who was responsible for the suc- cess of Toby's campaign to get Beatrice assigned to her own de- partment. T simply told Drizzle- puss you were young and smart looking and so refined you'd lift thet whole tone of Budget Fashions. She's hell on tope since they wished Getz on her. They have to do something with broken down battleaxes like Getz, and the base- ment's the end of the trail"
 She sighed. "Getzie really was good, up there in the women's dresses before they ritzed 1t up Corner. She had lot of old girls she'd been waiting on since before they wore size 42. Some of them come here once in while, but they don't buy much. They don't wear $398 numbers. The store really ought to pension Getz off, that's the truth. She's not well. Ever sec her hands shaker"
 "Yes, I noticed"
 "Twenty-two of the best years of her life, handed over to Hunt ington'sl And you know what they'll give her instead of o peia- sionp A testimonial dinner when she retires,"
 one reason why Miss 0etz didn't make her quota was that she stressed the durability of a num- Der rather than its style. Another reason was that the high-heeled, generously lipsticked customers nearly always avoided her, hurry ing off to Toby or Miss Ryan or even Beatrice when they saw Get2 coming. Miss Getz would then painfully pretend she had ad- vanced to straighten Q dress on q hanger.
 "Getz has q sick sister to sup- port. Poor thing. She quivers every time MT. Bradley looks at her."
 "She called him a floorwalker once, thought he'd have Q flt He thinks he's in training to be a merchandise man, and being sec- ton manager Is just temporary. Getz has forgotten more about ready-to- wear than he'll ever learn. But he's kinda cute"
 "Cute?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-22

MT. Bradley was so tall he stood out like a beacon among the groups of customers. He had shoulders rather more suggestive of football than of Budget Fashions. For a man so undeniably masculine, his work seemed a little silly.
 MT. Bradley ironed out com- plaints and misunderstanding, saw to 1t that no customer re- mained unattended for longer than five seconds, o. k.'d checks and charges, found out what had become of undelivered packages, supervised the sales girls, kept his eye on the appearance of displays and stock, and, in general, man. aged Budget Fashions as first lieutenant to Miss Dane, the buyer.
 Learning to be a merchandise man!" snorted Toby. That's the line they hand 'em. Start from the bottom, work your way up. It's bunk. When they need a merchandise man, I've always noticed, they hire big shot away from some other store.
 But Bradley's not bad egg. When he first came, all the girls took a shot ct fascinating him. No go.'
 She grinned suddenly, Say, Bee, it's your turn now. How would you like to drag date out of Bradley?'
