A proclamation appointing lggw Years Day as . "day of praysr,v of asking forgiveness for cur shortcomings of the past, ot con- secration to the tasks of the pres- ent, of asking Gods help in dnys to come" has been Issued ny President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The text of the proclamation:
 The year I941 has brought upon our nation e war of aggression by powers dominated by arrogant rulers whose selfish purpose is % destroy free institutions. They would thereby take from the froe- dom-loving peoples of the earth the hard won liberties gained over many centuries.
 The new year of le42 calls for the courage and the resolution Of old and young to help win \ world struggle in order that we may preserve all we hold dear.
 We are confident in our devos ton to our country, In our love of freedom, in our inheritance of courage. But our strength, as the strength of all men every- where, is of greater avail as God upholds us.
 Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roose- yelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby ap- point the first day of the year io42 as c day of prayer, oS ask- ing forgiveness for our shortcoFn. ings of the past, of consecration to the tasks of the present, of asking Gods help in days to come.

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Go out into your garden and get
acquainted with your beautiful
guest. She is busily engaged in cap
turing the insects using the fyways
and will not know of your presence;
even if she did, she would not pay
any attention to you.
Miranda is spider of large
size and brilliant coloring. Her
beautiful web is of such dimensions
and workmanship you would not
pass it by. Sometimes, especially
when food has been abundant, Mi
randa has robust figure and will
measure one inch or more in length.
She is marked with bright bands
and spots of gold or yellow. The
ground color of her costume is black.
charming contrast to the vivid
decorations. Her abdomen is oval,
with couple of humps at the base,
and on each lateral margin the
yellow spots form an almost unin-
| terrupted band. The black ribbon
between these two rows Of spots
is decorated with one to three
groups of golden spots.
The mate of this colorful spinner
is only one-fourth her size. He is
clad in yellowish brown; his alb
domen bears a wide brown band
along the center of the back, and
on either side there is a zigzag
band of white. Spiders. like snakes,
though benefactors to man, are
considered by him as foes and are
killed.
Miranda Is great silk manufac-
turer. She swings her cables upon
shrubs in your garden and upon
herbaceOus growth in the lush
meadows and pastures and in
marshy situations. 1t often seems
puzzling to those who admire the
output Of this tireless worker why
she so often selects plants that
hardly seem strong enough to sup
port the giant web and its occu-
pant. 1t is not at all unusual to
find webs two feet in diameter.
They are indeed worth studying
The web itself is inclined and the
owner rests upon the hub and on
the lower side, though she often
passes through the narrow free area
to the upper side. The males build
smaller but similar webs while they
are bachelors. When they go court
ing, they occupy the webs OF their
spouSes, usually in the irregular net
work of lines which are stretched
behind the orb. This enables the
small fellow to keep out of the
danger zone of his lady fair, who
might be tempted to feast upon him
because she wanted to be alone.
During the late summer, grass
hoppers get mixed up in these webs
and make havoc of them, but Mi
randa, ever alert to what comes her
way, soon has the high jumper
effectively lassoed. She may feast
upon him Immediately, or, if she
is not very hungry. she first may
mend her nets.
Watch for the pear-shaped egg
sac, almost as large as hickory
nut, which Miranda suspends from
some shrub or in the tip of a weed.
1t is anchored by many strong cables
of silk which will withstand the
winter winds and wear and tear

by placing the egg sacs in a wide

The youngsters will venture forth

Princess HohenIohe
Gets Final Order

Place to Deport Her

Ey the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A final deportation order stood to-
day against Princess Hohenlohe of
Hungary, but before the Govern
ment could carry it out it had to
find some place to deport her and a
way to get her there.
After the immigration Service Ap-
peals Board here yesterday rejected
the Princess appeal from the order,
her attorney said she had been try
ing unsuccessfully to obtain a pass
port to some other country. He
added that the Government would
have to provide safe transportation
for her if the order was carried out.
The Justice Department declared,
nevertheless, it would proceed i'm
mediately with whatever steps can
be taken, in the light of world con-
ditions," to execute the order
The Princess Stephanie Hohen-
lohe Waldenburg Schillingfurst,
otherwise known as Maria Walden

United States on Hungarian pass
port in December, 1889, obtained an
extension of her visitors visa to No

second extension and told to leave

By Woman Again as
Nazi Spy Ring Chief
Ford, Lindbereh Mentioned
In Suit; Formers Counsel
Terms Complaint Lie
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March g.
The former wife of a United States
Army officer charged today that
Consul General Fritz Wiedemann
headed a German espionage ring
throughout the Americas and
ordered his agents to obtain secret
information beneficial to Germany
in it's conquest of the Western
Hemisphere"
The allegations were in COM
plant filed in Federal Court for
Mrs. Alice Crockett. who asked
$4,000 she said Mr.. Wiedemann owed
her for a trip to Germany in his
behalf in 1899.
Mr.. Wiedemann was unavailable
for comment. However, he denied
all charges in similar suit filed by
Mrs. Crockett in Superior Court.
His attorney termed both actions
a "shakedown."
Huge "Spy Fee" Is Alleged.
Today's complaint set forth that
Mr.. Wiedemann received more than
S5,0O0000 from the German gov
ernment for espionage activity"
that he employed many persons for
such purposes, and that it was the
duty of the Princess Stephanie
Hohenlohe, whom the United States
is seeking to deport, to pay these
employees.
The remainder of the complaint
was made up of statements which
Mrs. Crockett said Mr.. Wiedemann
made to her. These included as
sertions that he told her:
That he obtained information "to
determine by what method the
Panama Canal could be made use
less" that he employed officials Of
the United States Government, that
he hired workmen in vital industries
to "foment class hatred" that he en-
couragad strikes to undermine
United States defensive strength
and that he directed the German
Bund.
Complaint Names N0tables.
Mr.. Wiedemann was represented
as having said he worked together"
with Henry Ford and Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh, and that he (Wiede-
MANN was 'active in secretly stor-
ing large quantities of ammunition"
particularly in the East and in New
Jersey ito be used by the ""* Bund
in fighting against the United
States Government.
The complaint asserted that Mr..
Wiedemann remarked he used" Col.
Lindbergh "to lull America and
Americans into sense of false Sc
curity and into believing that Amer
lea was and is safe from Germany
and German attack" 1t said, too,
that the consul general had stated
he worked together" with Mr.. Ford
"in furthering the German and Nazi
cause in the United States"
