HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER

Benefic aspects dominate today. It is fortunate for beginnings and promising for whatever is con- Structive.
 HEART AND HOME There should be an uplift of spirit under this configuration which stimulates activities and encourages optimism. Changes in households may be perplexing due to war conditions but this is a time to make the home charming in new ways. Ex- tension of hospitalities to men in uniform will bring to families much of interest but warning is given that emotional instability may in- spire nasty romances. Marriages on short acquaintance will lead to the many divorces presaged for the next few years.
 USINESS AFFAIRS: T h i s should be profitable sway for merchants. Demand for wooien clothing and for furs will be insis tent even though costs may be high. Holiday shopping will show l trend toward what is useful and expensive. Dealers in cigarettes will profit as never in the past and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be so great as to give impetus to prohibition agitation. It is indi- cated that in l943 restrictions on the sale of liquor will be legalized
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Peace s.Ig- gestions inspired by Hitler win be widely discussed as a prelude to she most terrible conflict in all history for the stars presage for l943 war on scale never previ- ously attained. Rejection of all treacherous overtures will be 'm- animous, despite fifth column cf- i forts. The stars are read as warn ing that there must be no compro- mise. Complete victory for the United Nations is prognosticated but again the seers emphasize that the price will be tremendous.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Through this month there will be a feeling of suspense. AS if the world felt the imminence of su- preme crisis, the new year will be awaited with extreme anxiety by | friend and foe alike. Changes in administration in both the British and United States governments will be made and the desire for shift ing leaders will extend to the armed forces. The Emperor of Japan and the King of Belgium both come under evil portents this month. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- usual experiences. Good fortune foi those in the military, engineering aviation and secret services is forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have positive characters and unusual talents. Much good fortune may be expected.

US. POST OFFICE IN AFRICA

US. POST OFFICE IN AFRICA
 Uncle Sam's army is leaving nothing undone to see that the mail man makes deliveries to US. forces abroad Believe it or not. but when the US. African Expedi- tionary Force landed, a unit of the Army postal corps was right in the vanguard.
 Immediately it got ashore, it set up facilities for handling mail. AS the troops famed out toward Tu- his, the postal corps famed out with them, and will be augmented by more men later. So you can be- gin writing to the men overseas right now.
 This is the first time in history that a postal service has gone ashore with landing troops. The service was organized from post men recommended to Gen. Jim Ulio by Postmaster General Frank Walker. Brig. Gen. Clayton Adams is the guiding genius.

NAZI ARMY TRAINING

The period of training proposed by some Army leaders is one year But if a crisis in the war should arise before that time, whereby the men were needed at the front, the miniature West Point course could terminate.
 Those who propose this far-sight- ed plan probably are in minority among Arfhy leaders at present Some of the more conservative gen. erals favor throwing the boys into the ranks more or less indiscrimin- ately.

Freak Accident
Kills Workman
Tree FIips Man
50 Feet in Air

v Ike Carter, 66, of 4139 Vir-
ginia, Clinton township, was
killed at 1880 nm. Sunday
when he was tossed so feet in
to the air by tree at Selfridge
Field.
1.-THE tree was being removed
by Carter and other workers
employed by the julius Porath
Construction company as part
of the post expansion project.
Dirt had been dug away from
the roots, cable attached to the
top and the tree pulled to the
ground by a tractor.
Sheriff Jacob F. Theut said
that the weight of the roots
forced the tree to snap upright
after all branches had been re-
moved and the TOP 30 feet saw
ed off.
A lone branch near the top
of the remaining 90 feet caught
the seat of Carriers trousers and
tossed him so fee. into the air.
He landed on his head and
was pronounced dead soon after.
