HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compew
TUESDAY, APRIL %


Benefic aspects rule today which
should be favorable to all branches
of industry 1t is an suspicious
sway for aviation.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
fortunate configuration for meeting
persons of opposite sex and en-
courages friendship rather than ro-
nance. The stars encourage CO.
operation between young men and
women who are employed in Gov
eminent projects and seems to pre-
sage splendid achievement. Wom-
en- who head The Red Cross and
other organizations which aid hui
mainly are warned that envyings
and jealousies may impair their
usefulness. This is time when
Municipalities should be submerged
in mass activities for national sue
cess in war operations.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Fifth COL
umnists may expose the profits Of
certain contractors engaged in war
contracts and by exaggeration
arouse resentment. This form Of
propaganda may be most damag-
ing to the morale Of workers and
others who are sacrificing person.
al incomes or accepting small wages.
Astrologers prophesy that Ameri-
can businessmen will prove their
patriotism in amazing service that
forms the foundation for peace
time progress. Few fortunes will
be amassed in this war.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Education
al institutions will advocate even
more pronounced changes in scho-
lastic methods than have been made
in recent years. The power of
thought will be stressed and the
value of words analysed Astrolo-
gers foreten that freedom of speech
will take on new meanings as limi-
tations are drawn in discussions
labeled liberal in the past. Teach
ers are to be measured by new
standards that stress spiritual as
pirations and stalWart patriotism
Moral laXities in the social codes
that govern the young will no
longer be ignored
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Mexico comes under configura
ton which encourages close COOP
Grafton with the United Ctates in
war plans AS neighbors the two
countries will render valuable SER
vice to each other. Japan's mill
tary leaders now come under plan
etary influences that are of evil
portent to certain army officers. A
new regime is foreseen for the en-
pire. Pluto is in an aspect threat
ening to the safety of Japan which
may sustain severe losses through
an earthquake.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of many
benefits. 1t is well to seek the adj
vice of older members of the fam
lily regarding investments
Children born on this day prob
ably will have unusual talents for
the arts. They should be rescued
from unconventional associations
which they may be inclined 10
seek.

Closing Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Grain prices
continued their upward trend TODAY
but the advance was slow and gains
In most pits were held to less than a
cent.
Corn showed most strength at
times, deriving support from reports
Of large scale feeding to livestock,
record breaking industrial grinding
and improved shipping demand the
past two days. Traders said that
with average hog prices the highest
since 1927, conversion of corn into
pork was unusually profitable. They
estimated the corn-hog feeding ratio
or the basis of Chicago prices at
approximately Is to 1-or Is bushels
of corn to equal in value 100 pounds
OF hog. Normally, grain men said,
II feeders can convert corn at a 10
or II to l ratio they consider feeding
profitable.
Wheat closed Pas cent higher

Plane Drops Rifles to Rescue
Band rom indians in JunaIe

Capt. r. J. Fuzzell, aided by q CO.
pilot. John Macarthur, and a radio
ofiicer. -Four armed men were load
ed into the plane.
They included the local police
chief. the manager OF the Par
American Airport and the manager
Of the Quito ONCE of the Shell Oil
Co., for which the. explorers were
working
Bird" FriEhtens Indians.
The rescue ship was headed for
the beleaguered camp within half an
hour after the call for help came
through. The Indians were attack
ing a fourth time when the big
"thunderbird" dove out of the sky
and frightened them back into the
jungle.
The plane, with both motors open
thundered over the camp Just over
the treetops and the Indians dis
appeared.
Meanwhile, the men in the air
plane tossed the bundled equipment
into an open space between the tents
and huts.
All the bundles landed in the open
except one. This crashed through
the roof of q workman's hut, but no
one was injured and the material
was undamaged.
The plane continued to circle the
camp while the explorers on the
ground unwrapped the rifles and
ammunition. Gunners were posted
about the camp, and when the de-
tense force was organized the white
men waved good-by to the flyers.
The airplane returned safely to
Quito.
The flyers learned later by radio
that the Indians attacked as soon
as the plane disappeared. The
naked savages, however, encoun-
tered gunflre from well-placed posts
about the camp and were driven
into a wild retreat.
The next day the camp resumed
its usual work routine, the Shell Oh
Co. reported. So far the savages
have not ventured another attack.

held by manufacturing jeweler-an
amount estimated at 1000, 900
pounds.
The jewelers. already have been
forbidden to use lead and copper,

be fabricated or melted.
With copper, tin and lead denied

Countess Palffy admitted under
questioning that she had brought
some Of the furniture from Boston,
where she spent part of last year,
and that some of the furnishings

battle with wild Indians was related
here yesterday by flyers just back
from Ecuador
About two weeks ago a force OF
Aushiris Indians, in full war paint
and regalia. crept through the jun
giles and fell on an encampment of
four whites and 200 native laborers
east of the Andes, near the junction
of the Anapo and Arajuno Rivers.
Three workmen were killed and
one wounded with spears and bows
and arrows in the late afternoon at
tack.
The white men in charge of the
group did not believe the raid would
be repeated. They posted sentinels,
however, and early next morning
the Indians returned through the
dark jungle.
Plane Ordered to Rescue.
The attackers made three deter
mined raids and were fought OF
from the tents in hand-to- hand bat
ties
At dawn the next day the camp
was completely surrounded. The ra-
dio station was in danger and the
leader Of the explorers flashed a
plea to Quito for immediate help.
The overland journey from the
nearest source Of aid would have re-
quired nine days by a mule pack
train.
Flyers of Pan American Grace
Airways. whose system recently re-
placed the German controlled Sedta
Airlines, were notified. A United
States airmail plane which had
landed at Quito was ordered to the
rescue and loaded for a dangerous
flight over the jungle-covered
mountains.
