So far Miss Kellems seems TO be
measuring UP 20 customary political
standards She criticizes President
Roosevelt for taking part in the
political quarrels OF New York
but the President probably feels
that he had good reasons and so
there will always be a difference Of
opinion on that issue as well as
many others There witt be new
differences arising at every turn
That's why any democracy must
have more than one political party
and that's why the winner OF such
campaign as Miss Kellems n
starting must he a good psycholo-
sist' good political strateg.st and
very good orator. The mass mind
must he swayed by plea sing talk

between two women the display
should be OF very special interest.

CHAPTER FOUR

DIAN JERKED off her perky lit
tie hat and let the wind blow
through her silver-blond hair. How
nice to be out in the open like this.
Heaven alone knew what she would
have to face later on, but just now
that didn't matter. Nothing mat
tered really but that she had at last
escaped a house that had grown
extremely unpleasant. She stole an
other look at the man beside her.
Fetchingly tanned. he was. Thick
dark hair. something like Robert
Taylor's. only no widows peak.
Practically everything a girl cou,d
ask for, so far as looks were con-
cerned. But you never could tell by
appearances. Again she felt that
sense of fear-being off in the
country with a perfectly strange

want to talk about. Or anyway. he
hadn't talked about IL.

the silence between them, Il can't
imagine why girl like you should

problem you had to work out all
by yourself?"

That, Dian decided, was what he
was running away from. She was
dying to ask him right out to tell
her about IT, But she didn't. She sat
perfectly still, hoping and praying
the man would 60 on-would open
up and talk about himself. And
when he didn't. she decided to do
some talking herself.
Il suppose everyone In the world
has problem sooner or later" she
said
Doubtless" said Rollins. well,

What influence does Mount Clemens have upon
our families what is it that guarantees all Of
US the happiness which we enjoy? . Is it the
police department which quietly protects US
from many dangers? Is it the library from which
we derive so much pleasure? Is it thot we take
comfort in having fine hospital in cose Of
need? Could it be that we gain an unusual
amount of pleasure from our parks? Or, is it be-
cause we know thot our children are being edu-
coted in good schools?

A Great War Song
lPhiladelnhia Recordl

Philadelphia Record
 It's too early to say finally that have dis covered the song of World War II.
 But testimony of messenger boys whistling in the streets of radio broadcasters of service mems centers indicates certainly as the song of the hour and perhaps of the war.
 Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free!"
 In circumstances of its conception and in its note of religious exaltation, Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition stands firmly in the great tradi- ton of American songs
 The song built around the exhortation of q naval chaplain in the midst of the disaster at Pearl Harbor
 So, too The Star-Spanged Banter bon during dark days When the song written in Government buildings in Washington had been burned. Our Federal Government had fled to the Virginia woods for safety
 Baltimore was under bombardment Only the morning was to show that Our Flag Was Still There"
 The great song of the Civil War, The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was composed durirs the autumn of 1861 We had lost the first Battle Of Bull Run. The South triumphant the North only beginning to realize that long, hard months of lay ahead.
 There is strong religious note in all three songs In The Star-Spanged Banner:
 "Blest with victry and peace, may the heavn-rescued land
 Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!"
 And in the Battle Hymn
 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
 He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored"
 And sing
 Praise the Lord and and pass the anl- intuition"
 It is not out of keeping either, that there is some doubt who first said Praise the Lord and paos the ammunition No knows who first said Re member the Maine" There have been long argu- ments whether Pershing Colonel Stanton said Lafayette, here!" No one knows whether anyone on Wake Island said Send more JapS At Pearl Harbor, the words first attributed to Captain William A. Mcguire. Now the evidence points to Lieutenant Howell Forgy, Philadelphia born former athlete.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1

Adverse aspects appear to rule today. Disappointing news may be received under this configuration which is adverse to labor,
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under rule of the stars which ac- cents apprehension, It is not a for tunate date for initiative, but should be satisfactory for routine work. The seers warn against the inclination to look backward or to indulge in regrets of any sort. From this time on, as the old year draws to a close, stern self discipline is imperative for mothers and wives. Health should be safeguarded Chil- dren and old persons may be es- pecially susceptible to disease.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Christmas shopping may take decided im- petus toward generous spending. Because of war uncertainties, the idea of enjoying life while it is possible will prevail largely, es- pecially among young folk. Gov ernment warnings against imitation will have only limited influence, the seers foretell. Although many merchants will suffer from restric- tions, the demand for manpower will cause less depression or dis couragement than in ordinary cir cumstances.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Hypersensi- tiyeness regarding our national freedoms will inspire criticism of the Government While the seers foresee necessary dictatorial policies as multiplying, they counsel pa tience Among the weak the danger of parasitism is foreseen as em- ployees in Washington and staunch supporters of the Administration Incline toward acceptance of all issues without analysis or question: ing. Astrologers, however, stress the importance of absolute patriotism which places country above per sonal considerations.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Upheavals in the domestic life of Germany will contribute to grow ing unrest under Nazi rule h. trigue. will spread among Hitler's henchmen as the new year starts Added pressure will be exerted upon Japan for a line of cooperation which offers far-reaching risks Every gain by the United Nations will increase enemy effort to hasten spread of advantages in the Orient which will focus our intense inter est all through the winter.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of difficult veal in which it is necessary to be eau tious in all financial matters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have great courage anc ambition which will make possible the overcoming of obstacles. Sue. cessful careers are indicated.

Rare Stones Received at
 Terr. Museum,

Unusual and provocative are two late acquisitions at the Territorial Museum, received last week from Ross J Kinney, Superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission at Nome.
 Two stones weighing about 60 pounds each and obviously put to functional use by man, were found Is feet below the surface at an elevation of about 600 feet above sea level. The discovery was made by Isador Fix in the summer of 1880. at a point about 92 miles northeast of Nome, in the heart of the Seward Peninsula.
 E.. l. Keithahn, museum curator, believes the stones to be seal-net anchors, and thinks they were used by Eskimos living on the northern shore of the peninsula, at such a place as Shishmaref, where there is no rock at all. They could have been chiseled at the point where these were found, then brought to the coast by dog team
 One stone. rather thin at one end, has had an eye drilled in it, working from both sides. The other, too thick for drilling, has been grooVed around the middle The Eskimos when asked. expressed the belief that the rocks must have been used for seal-net anchors, or as, dead men to anchor tent ropes But because of other considerations, Mir Keithahn believes the second theory untenable.
 Because of a rock slide, a raid Of opposing warriors, or som e other unexpected circumstance, MT Keithahn concludes the workers were prevented from removing these already complete anchors.
 Pointing out that many natural causes could upset calculations, MT Keithahn said the stones may be thousands of years old, or only a few hundred Definite Knowledge on this point would mean much to anthropologists and scientists, who are anxious to determine mans residence in the Americas.
