HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOmpep

Conflicting planetary aspects
rule today Constructive work IN
factories should be greatly stimu-
lated. There is an ill omen for
ships at sea.
HEART AND HOME: House
keepers with foresight should buy
to the limit of their purses cloth
ing, furniture, linens and what
ever belongs to the necessities be-
longing to comfortable living.
Stars indicate rise in prices and
scarcity in merchandise next year.
Conservation of foods should be-
come a first concern. Storerooms
are now of great value to families.
Shortage of string and paper will
become apparent before the end of
the winter.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: There is
an aspect which presages a lower
tax intake than was estimated by
government experts. Money will be
a chief problem in Washington
Jupiter is in a place that indicates
constructive legislation and sweep
ing reforms. There is a sign en-
couraging speculation. This month,
February and March will bring
sudden profits to a few. Tomorrow
and next day are fortunate dates.
NATIONAL ISSUES: The war
issue most prominent will be the
struggle of humanity to overcome
the brutal Taurian forces repre-
sented by the Axis powers There is
general unification of sentiment
regarding war and a corresponding
emphasis upon true patriotism.
Avoidance of harsh judgment or
criticism is enjoined by astrology.
The American spirit now will flame
into determined purpose and ris-
ing tide of public sentiment will
sweep away any objections to our
war policies.
INTERNATIONAL FAIR s:
1t has been frequently declared
that a defensive plan of campaign
never has won a war. The stars
indicate that Britain must con-
serve all her power for intensive
effort in the springtime.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of mutations of
fortunes during the coming year.
Changes and litigations should be
avoided.
Children born on this day will
be fearless, fond of intrigue, far
seeing and enterprising. They may
have eventful careers.

PRIBILOF MODEL

Alaskan cuIios, built to scale to represent actual
equipment used by the natives in the Territory,
never fail to enlist lot of attention when displayed
in the States.
During the past few days a model of a native
skin boat of the type used at the Pribof Islands for
Tightening cargo to and from the supply motorship
Penguin of the Fish and Widlife Service has been
on exhibition at the Canadian National Dock in
Seattle and has attracted much comment.
Built to scale, the craft shows every detail of

NELSON'S APPOINTMENT

Donald Nelson's selection as wal
production car was the best kept
secret in Washington in many
years.
In all of the Capital there was
only one man who knew that the
able, working OPM priorities
chief was to be named to the KEY
production post. That man was
the man who picked Nelson =
Franklin D. Roosevelt
No one had the slightest inkling
about the matter, including Mel
son. He had long favored a single
production executive, but in re-
cent months had not been men
toned in the list of possibilities
for the job Other more promin-
ent names were touted-Secretarie

SEAMEN GET BONUS

Bonus payments to seagoing employees on Amer
lean merchant vessels have at last been Strengthened
out, we learn, with bonuses to be retroactive to De-
cember T. date of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
But just how much these bonuses amount to
and the areas in which sailors must travel to be
eligible to collect bonuses are matters of military
secrecy. Unions and steamship operators have been
notified by the Maritime War Emergency Board but
no public announcement has been made.
This board was appointed by President
Roosevelt as a result of agreement reached by
employers and employees of the merchant marine
at a conference held at Washington D. c., recently
to stabilize labor relations. Typical of labor boards
it is made up of representatives of both factions
Members are Edward Macauley, chairman of the
u S. Maritime Commission; John R. Steelman
director of the u s. Cancellation service of the
partment of Labor; and Frank p Graham president
of the University of North Carolina.

Wise Lending
Cincinnati Enquirer)

1t cannot be emphasized too often that the
record-breaking cost of this to the American
people must be paid while the war is being fought.
No matter how it is financed the cost is paid from
day to day. If vastly greater debt is accumulated
as it will be- this is bookkeeping But the actual
cost, in money labor materials is met from
day to day out of our whole national income.
Since we must pay in the form of a reduced
standard of living and increased effort we ought
to try to pay sensibly That means paying in taxa
ton in direct loans from individuals to the gov
eminent If these of revenue are not enough
the government will have to borrow from banks
which means creating bank credit and thus infla-
ton In that case, we pay NOW while the war is
on) in the form of higher prices for everything we
buy.
Plainly should aim at paying our way
through taxes and direct loans to government. And
the more we lend to the government the less we
shall have to pay in taxes How do you lend money
to the government? Simply by buying United
States Defense Bonds and Stamps When you buy
a Defense Bond, you divert that much of your in
come from the channels of nonessential commerce
to the channels of government expenditure for de-
Tense. And that is the path to the sound financing
OF the war-the path that leads away from cur
rency initiation and financial disaster

Great Name for Great Ship
philadelphia Record

The Navy Department by direction of President
Roosevelt, has renamed the giant French liner Nor
rlandie now being converted into naval auxiliary.
The name is U.SS. Lafayette
We can't think of better choice. And we are
giAd that Vichy-fascinated State Department
didn't have chance to suggest that the Normandie
be named the U.SS. Petain or U.SS. Darlan or
U.S.S Laval
The name Lafayette recalls to us the aid that
France gave to this country in own fight for
freedom
More important it will recall to the French
people the name of who fought for freedom
at home, man who opposed not only the tyranny
VT the French King, but the dictatorship of Napoleon
We don't know whether the 80OOO-ton Lafayette
will be used an aircraft carrier or as a troop
transport.
But wherever she goes, the name will tell the
world that France again will be free

head of the defense program. But
after that, while in the forefront,
he was not one of the big
names.
Not until he went to the White
House with Vice President Wal
lace, following a hurried telephone
call several hours before, did Mel
son learn that he was the man of
destiny.
Chief credit for selling" Nelson
to the President belongs to Wal
lace, although like Nelson he didn't
know until the White House con
+ ference how successful his sales
manship had been. Wallace became
greatly impressed with Nelson's
quiet effectiveness during their
work together on SPAB. of which
Wallace was chairman and Nell
son executive director.
On number of occasions, Wal
lace voiced high praise of Nelson
to the President These views stuck
with the President and when he
finally decided to put war produc-
ton in the hands of single ex-
ecutive, Nelson was the choice over
all the other possibilities.
Once he made up his mind, the
President acted fast. The reason
for this was to avoid word of his
decision leaking out, and to block
the friends of other aspirants
starting undercover pressure drives
for them.
The President gave Nelson only
one piece of advice.
"Don,' he said, "be tough. This
is tough job and you will have
to be tough to make a go of it."
NOTE: Quipped an OPM big
shot the day after Nelson's ap-
pointment, Il guess we're PM now
instead of OPM."
