If Hillman's division was going tt
be reshnffled, he, too, would put
In strong bid.
So McNutt cooked UP an execu
tive order of his own, little diff.
ferent from Miss Perkins. He pro.
posed setting up a Labor Supply
Board, operating under him. Hi.
formula, on the surface, was diff.
ferent but the practical effect
would have been the same as the
Perkins scheme.
But like all of Miss Perkins
other attempted grabs for power
this one also got nowhere. Tht

posed executive orders be shelyed

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER

Next Friday February TO- will be observed
throughout the Christian world World Day of
Prayer 1t will be observed in Juneau by appro-
pirate services and it will be observed too probably,
by many Christians both Filipino and American,
in the gallant forces of Gen. Douglas Macarthur on
Batan Peninsula in the Philippines.
For more than IS years World Day of Prayer
has been commemorated the first Friday in Lent.
As early as 1897 worshppers in the United States
came together for a day of prayer But world
wide observance did not come about until 1927 In
1896 Christians of than SO countries kept the
day together And the idea has grown since.
Today, the opportunities for Christian prayer
are limited in many countries. Open services in
many nations now under the heel of Axis aggressors
may be carried out only at great risk In other
countries services must be said to the tune of
machine gun fire and exploding bombs. Many con-
gregaticns in war-torn countries are without
churches a result of indiscriminate bombing But
World Day CT Prayer will be observed even if the
prayers are silently thought by oppressed peoples.
What can men pray for today? Both warning
SIDES will be praying for victory of course God
will not answer all prayers. That would be illogical
and Gods logic is terrifying to the righteous
IN the depth of justice. But every and woman
and child make one prayer He can pray to be
adequate To be equal to the exhausting demands
upon his courage in the great encounters. To be
adequate in his patience for the daily drain of small
annoyanees. To be equal to the emergencies facing
mind and body
Abraham Lincoln was man who believed in
prayer. He rarely met any great emergency in the
Wmte House without prayer He explained it this
way: Il have been driven to my knees MANY times
by the overwhelming conviction that I had nobody
else to go to. My wisdom and that of all about
me seemed insufficient for that day"
washington these days too Some of the prayers
are unspoken.s, Some of them do not wait for the
going -to-bed time for saying. They are said In
brief moments behind busy desks perhaps

SOCIAL SECURITY MEDDLERs

In the past two years repeated
efforts have been made on Capt.
tol Hill to extend the scope and
increase the payments of the So
cial Security Act. But every attempt
has got nowhere because OF the
meddling and bureaucratic sniping
Of the moguls of the Social Secur-
ity Board.
Now these. moguls are up to their
old obstructive tricks-this time
regarding the plan to increase I'M
employment insurance benefits for
workers who have been made idle
by the about war production pro-
gram.
The plan was drafted by Federal
Security Administrator Paul Nc
Mutt and War Labor Chief Sidney
Hillman, and proposes-during 1912
onlyAto increase the period of un-
employment benefits from 10 to II
weeks and raise the weekly maxi
mum to $24 President Roosevelt
warmly approved the program and
recommended to Congress that
$500, 100000 be appropriated imme-
diately.
To speed action. the Social Sc
curity Board was asked to prepare
the necessary bill. This. however
was a sad mistake.
Seeing what they thought was q
swell chance to sneak through ar
extension of their bureaucratic
powers, the Ssh slipped into the
bill provision placing under theii
control all state unemployment in

PERSISTENT FANNY

Whatever else she NAV be
charged with. no one can say that
Secretary Frances Perkins is not
persistent.
Excluded from an important role
in, the war labor administration
the Secretary of Labor for months
has made repeated undercover at
tempts to elbow herself into the
picture. Invariably she has been
rebuffed. but always she has dog
gedly tried some new maneuver.
Her latest was an ambitious
scheme to grab off the war labor
division that Sidney Hillman has
ably directed since the days of the
original National Defense Com
mission
Miss Perkins popped her plan
shortly after Donald Nelson was
name War Production Chief. Nell
son told the President and Hillman
that any set-up of the labor divis-
ion agreeable to them would be
agreeable to him. Getting wind Of
this, Miss Perkins thought she saw
promising chance to stage a blitz
snatch for power.
So she quietly prepared an execu-
tive order to be signed by the Pres
ident placing under her control all
activities for the supply and train
ing of labor. The effect of the or
der would have been to strip Hill
mans division of its chief func-
lions.
Miss Perkins slipped her order to
the Budget Bureau for transmittal
to the President. But, meanwhile
Federal Security Administrator
Paul McNutt was tipped off what
Miss Perkins was up to. McNutt
also is ambitious to play bigger
role in the war organization. Un-
like Miss Perkins, the white-crest-
ed Indianan is on good terms with
Hillman, but McNutt figured thai

testimony which will be presented,
Frederick v. Williams, a Pacific
coast newspaper man, not only was
the correspondent of the Japanese
Times and Mail of Tokyo, but also
was making pro-Jap speeches be-
fore many organizations.
AS correspondent of the Jap
papers, Williams was registered
with the State Department and
apparently felt this was sufficient.
What the G-men did not over
lock was that the Transocean and

that the favorite Axis device was
to give their propaganda agents
nominal employment as newspaper

In every country in the world except America
when you go to the grocery you carry basket. So
it here. Madame Trollope says that in 1885
it was familiar sight in Cincinnati to the lead
ing men OF the city coming from the old Pearl
Street Market with loaded basket in one hand
and a ham in the other. If you bought in grocery
the flour and the sugar out of barrels and the
coffee from large sack.
No cartons then. And of the packaged
goods which now fill the shelves of the food stores
And no paper bags. Each customer provided his
own containers basket pail. If the grocer
wrapped anything it in old newspaper.
Now we are told there may be paper shortage
So the basket may return Why not? Our grand
fathers and grandmothers did not object to
carrying their purchases that way. Are better
than they we're?

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10

| ldOISDAr, rEDUOhUI 10
This is not an important day in
planetary direction. Mars is in an
aspect promising our final victory.
Labor comes under sway presag-
ing cooperation in all plans to win
the war
HEART AND. HOME: Work for
women is an outstanding interest
under this CONFORMATION which
seems to presage the establishment
of organizations which are to prove
of great value in aiding war pro-
gress. Food preparation so that the
highest nourishment values are
assured will be studied with care
and the seers prophesy that when
victory is won American cooking
will have become a fine art that
no wise women will ignore. Thrift
which astrologers long have stressed
will assume new Importance as
spring begins and war limitations
make necessary conservation of
clothing and household supplies.
Many old-fashioned handicrafts
will be revived because amateur
products are needed.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: National
emergencies affecting our varied
economic interests will cause ten
sion in certain lines of business but
Yankee ingenuity will supply sub
stitutes where raw materials are
acking in manufacturing Warning
is given that criticism or impa-
thence regarding war conditions will
supply comfort to our enemies.
| There is a sign read as indicating
fifth-column work aimed at the
fermentation of discomfort under
government restrictions it
NATIONAL ISSUES: Differences
Of opinion concerning the extent
If wartime limitations will develop
as spring advances and the Ameri-
can happy 60 lucky spirit asserts
itself. Astrologers warn that care
iessness may bring disaster when
| it is least expected. 1t will be re-
membered that for two years the
seers have emphasized the element
of surprise in international rela-
lions. There are aspects for COM
ing months which should encour-
age prolonged caution.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
DEMONSTRATIONS of the coming of
the second World War have been
made for several years but they
have been generally ignored. The
seers now repeat their early fore
casts of victory for the United
States and the Allies. But they
orophesy that the wideflung con-
flict will continue through this
year and probably until late in
1943. Again surprise is to be con-
;picuous for the end will come sud-
denly and Unexpectedly. Postwar
| negotiations and adjustments will
occupy several years, they an
| nounce.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of bene-
fits that balance inconveniences,
profits that overcome losses.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be studious and serious.
Many may have distinct inventive
talents. Success belongs to them.
