Evil lies not in comic magazines, but in a type of pseudo censorship which crops out from time to time. The latest is the plaint that l5000000 comic books distributed each month make up three quarters of the reading matter of children between the ages of and IA
 This lament is the outgrowth of an educational approach fast becoming extinct It might well be termed the spinach approach, for in effect, it tells children These other books not nearly so exciting the comics, but they are much better for you
 Many older readers will recall how Shakespeare was presented as something hard to take, but most vitalizing once it was down. Teachers the black beard diagramed the development of the plot with climaxes of various magnitudes carefully measured. Buried the salient fact that the play had sur vived the rigors time because it exciting and spiced with genuine everyday humor. Happily schools have made great strides in recent years.
 We would feel more concerned about the human race if boys and girls lacked the imagination and adventurous spirit which create taste for comics. The evil lies primarily in censorship for it adorns them with that added glamour of forbidden fruit

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 10

WEDNESDA DEOEiMbGN lU
 Lucky and unlucky aspects ap- pear to rule evenly today. It is likely that wrong ideas may be prevalent under this sway which encourages criticism of public of- ficials.
 HEART AND HOME Although the mental vision should be clear today there may be tendency to expect the worst. Nasty words and impetuous actions may be preva- lent among the young. Marriage engagements may be easily, broken today. Women of mature age should avoid looking backward with re- grets. The utmost activity in de- fense work is recommended
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Risin g prices will offset the temporary ad- vantages of increased wages, but this fact will not be recognized in many centers of war industry. Elf forts to help men and women who 1 have little capital and promising futures will be thWarted as the year ends. Priority provisions will | be unfavorable to many who for merly made money in small busi- ness enterprises. Unemployment will increase among men and Wo- men who have been independent of union domination.
 1 NATIONAL ISSUES. This is a i fortunate configuration for ship ping. Transportation of supplies to Russia should be successful under this rule of the stars which seems to presage need for hospital ac- cessories. Support of our naval policies will be gained as results prove that Washington foresight was reliable. Neptune is in an as pect most promising for the future, l although there is an evil portent that involves sabotage on a large scale Attention will focus on the i Pacific Ocean next month
 It has been again forecast that there will be conflict in the Pa cific Ocean that will engage our Navy. If Japan is to be the aggres- sor, all depends upon how the Mi I kado's war lords view the situation i in Russia. There is a sign encour- l aging caution which will dilute en- ] thusiasm about taking chances in any fight with the United States. In the Philippines and Hawaii overt acts will test our policy to- ward Japan, but we shall be pa- tient to the point of great danger. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of more than average good fortune Litiga- tion should be avoided Men in the defense service should be lucky.
 Children born on this day may be unusually successful in the learned professions. They may have many changes in their careers. i fCopyright, 19413
