HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOmpeW
SUNDAY, April. &c

Benefic aspects rule today which
should be most fortunate for the
clergy Good news should come
from battle fronts.
HEART AND HOME: This is an
suspicious CONFORMATION for do
nestle harmony and unity OF
thought regarding religion or phil
osophy The seers declare that
through the worlds agonies human
hearts are to be purified The veil
between mortality and immortality
will be so slight that many will
live much on the plane of the
spirit. When peace is attained the
peoples of the world will realize as
never before the bonds of universal
brotherhood. This means great pro-
greSs toward true civilization.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Frugality
is a lesson that Americans are to
learn in coming months. Waste
will be eliminated in business as
well as in private life. The Amer
lean way of living, generously and
recklessly will vanish in coming
months. The outlook for trade and
commerce is favorable. Prosperity
may be slightly abridged but to
the man in the street the United
States will be most fortunate in its
financial status.
NATIONAL ISSUES; In the Far
East Pluto's influence is strong.
This masked planet" so recently
discovered has been termed the
star of madness" It is to con-
tinue its malefic influence upon
Japan which eventually is to be
almost blotted out Its effects have
added to influences which arouse
in the United Nations such bitter
ness of resentment that the future
CT the treacherous people will be
most unfortunate for a long period
after the war.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Again the stars warn of treachery
intrigue and conspiracies. Danger
of plots that undermine the fed
eral Government and prepare for
acts of terrible destruction is fore
cast. Mars and Jupiter are in the
ninth house. Fierce fighting of naval
and aviation forces will assume vic
tories The planetary influences are
believed to intensity battles of all
sorts. Uranus has an aspect helpful
to the democracies which gradually
will concentrate their power. The
Battle of the Pacific is to be pro-
tracted through the Summer and
will develop events of amazing hero
ism.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of good fortune
in which many plans will be real
lied. Temptation to spend too Law
ishly should be overcome.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be fortunate in their chos-
en- vocations. They should be
healthy and exceedingly energetic.

CANADA'S EXAMPLE

Officials in the United States could well spend
little time in studying the plan for general price
ceiling which has been in operation in the Dominion
of Canada since December l. In contrast to the
present American system of partial selective price
ceilings, the Canadian plan seeks to deal with the
whole situation, including wages, rents and farm
products
This scheme is impossible at present in the Unit
ed States because Congress has not given the Office
OF Price Administration the power to put ceilings on
wages or farm crops However, this Canadian ex-
ample is worth noting. 1t comes the closest of any
plan to the ideas advocated by Bernard M Baruch
Chairman of the United States War Industries Board
in the last World War
This Canadian plan also should be of Importance
because Canada is an older belligerent in this war
and has advanced her actions ahead of ours
In advancing the plan to the Canadian people,
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King said:
THE action which I am about to explain repre-
sents an experiment hitherto untried this contin
ent and perhaps having regard to its breadth and
variety hitherto untried by the will and consent of
any free people anywhere
1T has to do with the price of goods and SER
vices and the price of the products of land and sea
1t has to do with wages. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance TO every citizen in Canada, and of par
ticuar importance to every housewife, every worker
and every farmer 1t will affect the daily lives of
each enc of us. 1t will require the cooperation and
support of all 1t will help to intensity the effort of
this country in 1t will help to prevent repe-
titon of distress and depression after the
After two years of the present war, we have
reached the same stage we had reached after two
years of the last war Prices again rising rap
idly To speak generally, prices rising again be-
cause the public has money to spend and there
is less of the things people wish to buy. For two
years the government has been competing with the
individual for almost every commodity Canada pro-
duces imports.
The government must have the goods to build
and maintain our war machine to clothe, feed and
equip fighting men and to aid Britain and other
allies with arms and with food. We sometimes forget
that the same sheets of aluminium cannot be used
to make plane and to make pots and pans. The
same gallon of gasoline cannot be used in an army
tank and a pleasure motor The same pound of
cheese cannot be eaten in Britain and in Canada And
most important of ALL the same men cannot make
machine guns and washing machines at the same
time
I'VE must face the fact that there are not enough
men there are not enough machines, there are not
enough materials to meet the demands of consumers
and the needs of war. Since the government with
the full support of the Canadian people, is deter
mined to maintain and to intensity the effort,
we have no choice but to reduce consumption of
goods To US too has come the choice between guns
and butter"
His opinions seem worthy of notice and study.

I RIED TO
RAM NAzI
SUBMARINE

NORFOLK, Virginia, April Is =
The crew from a medium-si AM
erican ship, arriving here today, re-
lated how their captain, Samuel
Cobb, tried unsuccessfully to ram
a submarine which Shelled the
American ship to the bottom off
the Eastern United States Coast
on the night of April Is.
Cobb and a seaman Victor Pat
rolla, 10. were mortally wounded in
the shellfire, and were buried at sea.
Five others were missing There
were 81 survivors.

MONDAY, April, 81

Adverse planetary aspects rule
strongly today. 1t is not an auspi-
cious date for launching any bust
ness project. Persons in authority
may find obstacles in their Way.
HEART AND HOME: Although
Ill omens are discerned for the
world today women are well di-
rected. They should make the most
OF whatever opportunities come to
them this week. There may be
many deeds of kindness needed for
there are portents of grave sipni-
ficance which may presage unex-
pected perils and spread fear. Girls
may expect disappointments which
turn out fortunate when accented
bravely This is a time when women
OF every age should take the initia-
tive in seeking war tasks. About
war means about industry.
USINESS AFFAIRS. Mer-
chants may find new problems in
this week which promises to be
eyentful. Much uncertainty regard
ing future commercial Developments
may retard enterprise even in large
cities. More yigor will be manifested
IN industry but labor unrest NAV
be serious in it's effects Airplane
production difficulties are to be
eliminated by legal action. Mis-
understandings between EMPLOYERS
and employees will be caused by
lack of full-knowledge of Govern
ment aims at this most crucial
time in national history.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Registra-
ton and assignment of both men
and women to work for which they
are best fitted by training and eX-
perience will be advocated as perils
to the United States increase. The
TACT that a score Of men is re-
quired behind each fighter makes
1t imperative for industry to mobil
ize all who can hasten the produc

First token of this policy was seen

In paying less income tax than rent, we are re-
minded of good fortune in having an income to
pay taxes on and home that we are able to rent.
Other people have nothing to tax; nothing to pay

all work tirelessly for liberty and
United States because OF a grave
catastrophe. National mourning for
a distinguished citizen is forecast.
There are aspects that seem to fore
shadow increased realization of the
meaning of war. The Sun in the
third house in opposition to Nep-
tune in the ninth warns of trickery
in foreign negotiations and dis
illuSionment in regard to an al
lance although ultimate security
and victory are prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of more
than average good fortune. Wise
use of income will be maintained
despite temptations to be extrav-
agant.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be optimistic and happy
go-lucky. but talented and able to
use their talents profitably.
