this as in other fields some revolutionary changes are taking place in production methods.
 In the last war, it took close to year to make the 88OO- ton Liberty ships used then. Portland Oregon yard recently produced 1o8oO-ton freighteI of the standard type are building now in 60 days And it is believed certain that still faster production will soon become commonplace. The warship build ing program is reported ahead of schedule. Special emphasis laid the production of the destroyers which are needed for convoy duties and for protect ing ships-of the-lne in naval squadrons. And the U s. submarine fleet is growing satisfactorily.
 Not until the war is over and the information is of no to the enemy will it be possible to tell the whole story of Americas production effort What can be said now that nation group of nations did so much in so short period of time At the end of last year Von Ludendorff wrote in bitter ad- miration that the United States understood how to wage war The cold production figures show that the United States understands it better still, today

 Japanese invasions of the Far East show us ir better light than the British in treatment of Orentas
 The Filpinos fought braveiy with U s. troops But the Burmese not only acted as fifth coumnists for the Japs they organized under Jap officers to fight British and Indian troops
 Now the British perhaps learning from Burma have gone beyond this country in fair treatment of Chinese seamen.
 As result of negotiations between the British Ministry of War Transport and the Chinese Ambas- sador to Great Britain, agreement has just been signed covering the thousands Of Chinese in the Brit sh merchant marine.
 Pay has been raised $8 month, although it is still below that of British seamen More important, Chinese seamen will now be allowed two days shore leave in England for every month at sea-the same liberty" given British
 This country still excludes Chinese If a Chinese deserts his ship in American harbor the ship owner is fined.
 The result is that the Chinese denied shore leave except under guard. month ago 12 Chinese seamen enraged over being imprisoned board ship while in New York harbor started rioting One sea- man shot dead.

EUCHRrNG FRANK MURPHY

Looks as if some of Justice Frank Murphys friends were trying to eucher him off the Supreme Court.
 After he became a lieutenant col onel in the Army, Attorney General Riddle telephoned Chief Justice Stone and told him that under a Justice Department ruling, no one could take two oaths of office-as a justice of the Supreme Court and as a lieutenant colonel in the Army.
 Riddle said the matter was ex- amined carefully when U. s. Judge Charles E. Clark of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals wanted to do some additional work for the Gov ernment, and it was vetoed by the Justice Department
 Those around the Supreme Court are mystified by Riddles call, but some interpret it as the unseen hand of Justice Felix Frankfurter, a friend of Biddle's. who would like to see another Court vacancy, es- pecially at the expense of Murphy.
 NOTE: Meanwhile Justice Mur- phy has received almost universal acclaim for preparing himself for 6yentualities in the Army.

 But do you know that In north ern Chile it rains ordinarily only once in about IS years" replied Hoops. and that one time an un- expected rain cost the insurance companies six and a half million dollars. And did you know that in Houston at some seasons of the year it rains almost every after noon"
 NOTE: Few people think it is mere accident that nitrates are be- ing stored, of all places in the U. s. A., at Jesse Jones home town of Houston. Nor do they think it an accident that a tin smelter has been erected, of all places in the U. s. A., at Houston. Many other cities nearer the industrial areas where these materials finally are used, put in bids for them. But Houston got the plums.

WAR PRODUCTION

In April, our production was at the rate of $40000000000 year The June rate will be about 25 percent greater And by the end of this year. the economists confidently predict will be producing at the rate of S7O00O000000 year In time to come many learned book will be written telling just how private industry did this job-a job which is unpre dicted in world history.
 Two years ago we were totally unprepared for Today outproducine nations which de- voted most of their to getting ready for for decade or more In Meir Kampf, Hitler says time and time again that the oemocracies weak, spneess, unwilling and unable to fight. The Jap also pinned abundant faith that suppoSi- tion. This country, along with the other United Ma tions is showing Hitler how tremendously wrong he American industry has done far more than turn it's plants from the production of the necessities and uxuries of peace to the production of the instruments of war. It has boldly pioneered techniques. It has thrown old production pyeiudices to the four winds It has worked the basis that nothing is impossible.
 The skeptics said for instance, that the assembly,
 line principle could never be successfully applied to the manufacture of fighting airplanes Ford Boeng Consolidated and other plants proved otherwise in Seattle, San Diego Willow Run and elsewhere of the finest military airplanes the world has veer seen are being made almost swiftly auto mobiles were made in the old days Skeptcs certain forecasts of tank production fantastca- y high Chrysler and other makers to the contrary, are today well ahead of the forecasts and going farther steadily. All the country plants little well big, setting production records in a hundred war-material fields
 Delays still occasionally because of lack of materials labor difficulties, etc But those delays grow fewer.

HOROSCOPE 0 p "The stdrs incline
 bat do not conspe"
TUESDAY, JUNE. 23

After the early morning adverse planetary aspects are active today. Good news from the war may be received at this time. &
 HEART AND HOME: Women to- day should be able to see them selves as others see them, which is fortunate for many young girls who cultivate artificiality Several years ago astrologers prophesied that the pendulum of fashion would swing backward to natural standards of beauty and now war conditions are to eliminate cosmetics to a great extent. Simpler attire also will pre- vail through the war period when it will be bad form to wear costly clothes.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Financial prospects are seen as increasingly good. The summer quarter finds i the Sun and Jupiter in the sixth house, which rules industry, fight ing forces. labor and agriculture. The aspect is more promising than any in recent years. In the chart of the U. s. A., Venus, the star of victory in the ninth, the house of long distances, gives promise of progress. Trade and commerce will be stimulated on both our coasts.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Critics of the nations slow methods in regard to all-out participation in the strug- gle now will have cause to regret their impatience. Events will prove the wisdom of the plans made and carried out by the President and his war counselors. A decisive vic- tory in the battle with Japan is indicated before midsummer. AS the United Nations. demonstrate their real power unity will be attained in the United States among oppos- ing elements.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: The element of surprise, long pre- dicted in, connection with the war. will continue to be fortunate as the United Nations demonstrate their success in well-planned, hazardous tactics. Secrecy will be most inn portant in coming weeks when novel inventions will aid splendid coups Hitler will undertake desperate moves as he sees his hope of world conquest fade, He will make in- creasingly severe demands upon Italy for manpower and supplies. France and Spain will be required to contribute to Axis needs.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success. Gains in income will be helpful to many women who are in war work. Children born on this day prob ably will be gifted and kindly. They are likely to have talents that win success in artistic pursuits.

staging air raids on Japan, and that is why the JapS were anxious to seize them.
 NOTE: The American public is completely sympathetic with the necessity of spreading our defenses thin, but not so sympathetic with the official minimizing of the Aleu- ton Island attack. At first this at tack was denied-though we had a radio station on Attu which must have reported or at least gone silent after the attack. Then it was an- nounced that no important Jap ships were in the Aleutians. Fol- lowing which it was revealed that we had hit or sunk eight ships so there must have been quite few there after all.

LIFE IN GERMANY

U. s. diplomats who returned on the Drottningholm relate many significant sidelights on life in wartime Germany.
 One is that Germans, among the heaviest meat eaters in the world have been forced by the food short age to turn to vegetables. and now more vegetables are consumed in the Naziland than ever. Before the war, Germany stood seventh in vegetable consumption in Europe now it ranks third.
 The returned diplomats declare that the food shortage in Germany is becoming an important war fac- tor. Before they left, an order was issued banning the feeding of pota- toes to rabbits, fowl and other domestic animals. ea
 Also alcohol has disappeared ai- most entirely from shops, and what is sold as liver sausage, great German favorite, now contains no liver at all. IF
 Another item stressed by the re- turned diplomats is the desperate longing of people in the blacked- out towns for light. Blackouts in Ger many are complete and enforced severely. As most families have at least one member at the front, the grim darkness every night does not tighten fears about the deyasting RAF raids and the costly offensives on the Russian and Lybian fronts.
