HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not conppeW
Thursday, August 6

Thursday, August
 Until late today adverse plane tary aspects rule, but in the eve ming benefic influences gain power. Mercury promises good news.
 HEART AND HOME: This should be a routine day for most women. It is not a date for making changes or for seeking favors of any sort. although it is fortunate for sign- ing contracts, leases and agree ments. Girls will answer demands for their work in industry and in various auxiliary branches of the service. Need of nurses will he more urgent this month, for there is a sign read as indicating that hospitals will be filled Women of all ages must now meet heavy re- sponsibilities including sorrows for those who have made supreme sac rifices for liberty and democracy
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Prosperity will be marked through this month, but President Roosevelt and his Cabinet come under portents that may cause anxiety in the world of finance. Some policy or plan of the Government may meet with opposition or criticism. In the business centers there may be ap- prehensions caused by certain economic trends, although the tide of victory is to carry the United Nations forward at amazing speed. Increased demand for aid under lend lease conditions will be met at this time.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor again is under i'll omens that reflect upon Government policies. Severe cri- ticism of the President and certain leading statesmen may be prevail ent. This will be due partly to clever fifth column activities. This month is to be a period of the most intensive work among enemy agents in the United States. The lives as well as the regulations of national leaders should be safe guarded. Danger of illness among members of Congress is forecast.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :: England's chart for the month promises brilliant victories for the hard fighting British forces. In London there will be many severe diplomatic problems and financial burdens. Death will strike shining marks, but the stars presage prog ress that is spurred by rising hope The Axis is to devise desperate at Jacks and stubborn battles will be fought successfully.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune which brings expanding in- terests and new friends.
 | Children born on this day should be brilliant in mind and forceful in character. They will love lux uries and possess them.

 So important is this drug pro- paganda network that until a short time ago the Nazis flew essential drugs into South America, smuggled aspirin from the United States through pro-Nazi tin-American armies and, thanks to the large stocks accumulated before war broke have continued to carry on.
 For a long time the State De- partment and the Rockefeller Con- mittee have been trying to get Unit ed States firms to carry similar radio and newspaper propaganda and now give credit to David Cor eoran for doing the most outstand- ing job along this line.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 14.-Col. Henry
G. Stanwood, State draft director.
assured 18 and 10 years olds that
very few of them would be inducted
before the first of the year.
Although President Roosevelt
signed the teen-age draft bill yes
terday, Col. Stanwood pointed out
that the teen-age eligibles would
have to be processed. He said it
would take time before they could be
examined and classified for military
service.
Col. Stanwood estimated that
there are $4,000 18 and 10 year olds
in Maryland who are eligible for the
draft.

cruiting campaign as the result of
the new draft act.
Men between the age of 16 and IS
are eligible for enlistment in the
VPF, which was organized for State
duty when the National Guard was
inducted into the Army. VPF re-
cruits under 18 must have the con-
sent of their parents and Brig. Gen.

For Travel Priority
For Servicemen
Emphasizes Need for
System When They
Are on Short Leave

Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland has appealed to the Office
OF Defense Transportation, the War
and Navy Departments to consider
the feasibility of granting travel
priority to men in the fighting serv-
ices who try to visit their homes on
short leave periods.
The Maryland Senator said he felt
that fighting men on short leave
periods should not have their leave
shortened by giving travel priority
preference to others, except in cases
Of great emergency"
The Senator did not specify any one
form Of transportation, but the prob
lem has particular reference to travel
by air. If soldier, sailor, or marine
has only a few days to visit his fam
lily and cannot be sure Of q seat in a
plane, he must use up most Of his
leave travelling by rail or bus.
In some cases serviceman may
be at post or port from which he
could not get home and back within
the leave available to him except by
plane. Senator Tydings indicated his
desire Is to see everything possible
done to facilitate the travel Of these
fighting men that will not interfere
with essential emergency travel by
civilian officials.
In his letter to Government OH
cials, Senator Tydings suggested for
their study this basic rule:
No priortttes to delay lighting
men on short leaves where time Is
the element that counts"

BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. Al. Milton
Patterson, director of the State De-
partment of Public Welfare, has
announced a new policy for making
State payments for hospital care
under which a report on each pa
tient would be called for and the
hospital treating him would be
credited at the established rate OF
$3.50 per day.
Quarterly payments would be
made on the basis of care actually
given to INDECENT patients, Mr.
Patterson said.
The old system called for pay
ment to hospitals of amounts ap-
propriated by the General Assembly
for care for indigents whether the
hospitals earned it or not, Mr.. Pat
terson said. He termed this method
haphazard
The first payments under the new
plan were made for the quarter be-
ginning October l.
Next year, Mr.. Patterson said
local welfare departments would
assume responsibility for determin-
ing eligibility of patients for State
payment of hospital bills.

1900 900 who have reached 18 since
then or will do so during the next
year will probably be registered by
January l, 1914.

A. No. Many of the June 80 reg
istrants have already reached 20

physically unfit, and some will be
deferred on occupational or depend
ency grounds.
@. How many actually will enter
the fighting forces?
A. Approximately 100000 to 9O0,-
600 physically fit youths who have
not volunteered are left over from
the June 80 registrations and about
1,275,000 other physically fit teen
ayers should register during 1943
Most Of them are expected to enlist
or be drafted.
Inductions in 80 to 40 Days.
@. How far will they go toward
satisfying the foreseeable require
ments of the military services?
A. They should furnish more than
100000 of the 4,5O0 900 men needed
by the end of next year to give the
United States an Army of $500 900,
Navy of 100000 and Marine
and Coast Guard strength of 100000,
making our total fighting forces
100000.
@. When will they start drafting
18 and 10 year olds who already are
registered?
A. That depends on what advance
preparations local draft boards have
| made to meet calls with older men
and how quickly the boards classify
teen-agers as ready for service

More than 2,000. 900 youths In the
Is and 10 year old classes are subject
today to military duty in the near
future, but they have the promise
Of President Roosevelt that they
will be helped in resuming their
school and college careers after the
war.
The Chief Executive, in signing
the youth draft bill last night, dis
closed that a committee of educators
under Army and Navy auspices will
study plans for young men to go
back to their schooling after leaving
the armed forces.
Postwar Opportunity.
An equal opportunity, the Presi-
dent said in formal statement, will
be afforded other young men who
desire training and other forms of
education after their Army or Navy
service.
He said he also would announce
In the near future a plan to utilize
during the war certain colleges and
universities to train limited num-
Der of men for highly specialized"
duties in the armed forces.
These men will be selected solely
on the basis of their ability" the
President said, land without regard
to whether or not they are now in
college or whether they could other
wise afford to go to college"
In signing the bill only day after
final congressional action on meas
ure stripped of all restrictions as to
length Of training before combat
duty, the President said the time had
now come when the successful
prosecution of the war requires that
we call to the cofors the men of l8
and 49,"
Anxious to Serve,
While many in these age groups
have already volunteered, Mr..
Roosevelt said, others have been
eagerly awaiting the call" and "all
are ready and anxious to serve"
He expected large numbers to
come from schools and colleges and
said while some action to help
youths resume interrupted educa-
tlonal careers was improvised at the
end OF the last war, this time 1--WE
are planning in advance"
Officials have estimated that there
are approximately 100000 youths
between 18 and 20 already registered
and that 100000 or more might ga
toward making up the 100000 addi-
tional men needed in all the four
armed services by the end of the
1943 calendar year.
