WOMEN IN WAR DUTY

In the present war, women may play a larger
part than in any previous conflict in history-in
civilian defense, in Red Gross and other relief work
in maintaining local morale and directing commun-
ty effort and possibly in active duty
In message delivered recently by Lieut.. Comdr.
Thomas j. Keane, of the Navy Office of Public Re-
ations, to the Womens Patriotic Conference on
National Defense, he made plea to the women to
do their part. asked them to show patience look

BOY SCOUT ANNIVERSARY

For ten million men and boys in America this

founded The groups of r. to 15-years-ods who
rallied to the Scout banner during that first year
small But each year and more boys
being touched by the Scout Oath and Law.
The first year scattered few Scouts, 61,495 all
almost a half million boys had enjoyed the great
game of Scouting, 1852 DAB active and slightly
smaller group had graduated" as it were
The growth of the Boy Scouts of America has
within influence of Scouting Naturally many boys
joined the increasing number CT young men
who had been Scouts And because they had been
Scouts they better citizens This number con-
tinues to grow until today ten million and boys
represent the circle of direct influence of Scouting
Thus it is that not only the million and
half active Boy Scouts and Scouers celebrating the
thirty second birthday of Scouting but the eight and
one-half million alumni of Scouting also have
claim in the birthday festivities
Most former Scouts still hold with the Scout
Oath and Law and hope their own sons also will

To do my duty to God and my country and
to obey the Scout Law
To help other people at all times.
To keep myself physically strong, mentally

ARMY FATHEADEDNEss

The question of Army morale has
vanished like last summers roses
Yet many soldiers still have plenty
of grounds for gripes. Take the
case of Sergeant Clark Cook of
Camp Langdon, New Hampshire.
A six-footer, weig hing 17J
pounds, Clark, crack soldier, as
pired to be an officer. He applied
for admission to an officers train
ing camp and his commander ap-
proved it. But at the Corps Area
headquarters in Boston, Cook was
rejected.
The stated reason was obesity
Cook thought he knew what ODE
sity meant but he also knew there
wasn't pound of excess flesh on
him. So he started asking ques-
lions.
In the end he discovered that a
clerk in the post hospital, where
Cook took his physical examination
had entered his height as so inch
es instead of 70 inches. This made
him five feet tall, weighing ITS
pounds-too fat to be an officer.
The application was returned to
Boston for correction, but the
Corps Area headquarters said il
was against regulations to change
the record
So Cook is still sergeant, wait
ing for another chance to apply
for officers training.

carelessness in handling hand
tools or falling coal. The latter is
caused by faulty timbering, which
is another form Of carelessness,
Mr.. Stewart said.
Alaska also had, in that year, tie
highest in average days of eni-
ployment per man Of any coal pro
ducing state or territory, with an
average of 1922 days per man. Next
to Alaska, the states with the high
est average days OF employment per
man are West Virginia and Ala
bama with 2l5 days per man each.
This would indicate that coal min
ing in Alaska. while not as ex-
tersive as it is in other parts Of
the country. is a less seasonal oc-
cupation.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel" !
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7
An adverse aspect affecting labor
/ is discerned in the horoscope for
today. Violence may develop in d
desperate contest with employers.
HEART AND HOME: Under this
configuration the mind should be
keen and alert to passing events.
This is a date when news of SUI
preme interest is forecast. Events
of world concern will follow one
another so rapidly as to be con-
fusing. In many households there
win be happiness because of the
splendid physical development
which has resulted from the train
ing for national service while there
will be natural apprehension re-
garding possible war casualties. As
trology teaches the value of cour-
age which never borrowS trouble.
Minds should retain a positive at
titude and hard work should pre-
vent needless worry. Armored in
faith and loyalty, American fami-
lies will contribute much to in
evitable victory for the Allies.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wage
earners will continue to spend their
money freely and the sense of
prosperity even in time of war viii
buoy the people who must accept
heavy taxes. Scientists will con-
tribute marvellous new synthetic
materials and there will be in
creased demand for trained men
and women. Chemists come under 4
configuration which presages dis
coveries that will change certain
phases of American life. There will
be also amazing new implements
CT war which hasten the fulfill
ment of defense plans.
NATIONAL ISSUES; New lead
ers in civic life will gain support
Wealthy men will turn attention
to the mobilization of opinions and
the furtherance of harmony among
the people of the United States. In
public print and over the radio
liberal sentiments will be promul-
gated. Those who foresee inevitable
social and economic changes Will
be severely criticized, but what APP
pears radical now is to become
everyday fact of the future. The
wise will prepare for cheerful adj
justments in postwar times.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
According to aspects of Uranus
astrologers foretell many world
events, in the course of which there
will be bitter struggles for materi-
ais, naval bases and increased vol
ufnes of manufactured war ma
chimes The Saturn Uranus con-
junction of May 3 may mark an
historic event following the Mars
Uranus conjunction of March /,
from which date military, naval
and air movements will be de-
cisive. This is a period of supreme
potentialities in the world conflict
| in which Japan will be goaded re-
lentlessly by the Axis.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of fair
success, but there must be watch
fitness to prevent fraud or decep-
ton due to money greed
Children born on this day prob
ably will be highly intelligent, but
they may have many vicissitudes
through eventful lives.
