 On the economic front, the United States and Brazil have signed four important accords for mutual assistance They provide for mobilizing the produc tive resources of Brazil through $l0oO00000 credit expanding assistance to Brazil through lease lend de- veoping Brazls hgh-grade iron ore deposits, and tablishment of s500O,0OO fund to develop Brazips rubber production.
 From ong-range point of view, the rubber is probably the most important. The United States Rubber Reserve Company agrees to purchase Brazil ian rubber for period of five years.

 Today, however. the utilities don't have to spend money on high pow cred lobbyists. No longer do they require lavish entertainment for Congressmen Their men now live at the Grace Dodge Hotel, very modest hostlery once reserved ex- clusively for women, where they eat at the same table and discuss power problems every evening.
 During the day they have desks in the War Production Board, where they draw annual salaries of sl from the Government and sub- stantial salaries or drawing &C., counts from their own companies. These men are good, solid Ameri- can citizens and the cooperation of their companies is absolutely es- sential. But naturally it is diff cult, if not humanly impossible, 10 draw the line where their utility interests stop and government in- terests begin-as was shown in the Grand River, Okla, case For it was someone among the sl-men in the Power Branch who ruled that the Government should pay about mills more for power from a private firm, instead of buying direct from itself.

SUNDAY. MARCH 2e

SUNDAY, MARCH 29
 Adverse planetary aspects are active today. It is time to attend church and to engage in philan- thropic movements. As material possessions vanish spiritual values are revealed.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed under this con- figuration which enables them to have mental vision and sustaining faith in the divine plan. More and more fortitude will be required of American wives and mothers whose husbands and sons are in the war. Through the clouds of anxiety will shine the light of hope as religious teachings take on new meanings. The churches will gain support at this time but warning is given ag- ainst strange cults. The study of Old Testament prophecies will en- gage extraordinary attention.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The com ing days of this week will bring good news from war fronts and will stimulate many lines of trade Strengthening of the economic ef- fort to support rising costs of war will be marked. The fishing industry will undergo changes that are bene- ficial and the outlook for food pro- duction will be encouraging. Avia- ton will benefit and the planes of the United States will continue to make history
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Social re- adjustments will be evident as work for victory proceeds in the United States. True democracy will be- come a practical matter as persons of many races and many walks of life side by side. Women in industry will gain a new equality. Changes in American life will be so rapid as to be at first difficult to accept but the spirit of cooperation will daily develop as the will to win possesses lyoung and old
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s: Next month definite steps toward victory will be frequent but again treachery is to be encountered. There is a sign warning the United States that there is too much kind liness and tolerance in the treat inent of suspected enemies in cities east and west. Fifth column efforts to cause trouble between Britain and this country will be redoubled and certain newspapers will aid this indirectly.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of aa- usual experiences. There will be travel and new associations. Cau- tion in all changes is enjoined
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be headstrong, impetuous and energetic. These Arians may be important but able to make money by exercising their unusual talents t

MONDAY, MARCH 30

Adverse planetary aspects domin-
 ate today. There is a portent of a
 critical battle in the Far East. Good
 news, however, is indicated for the Allies.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a
 fortunate configuration for women who write. College girls have the possibility of success as the authors of worthwhile books. The stars preSage the widest spiritual awak- ening among Americans who will produce real literature. The gift of poetry should be widespread with a few who will earn the laurel wreath. This war period is seen as a time of marvellous development among women of all ages.
 BSINESS AFFAIRS: The stabil- ization of business is to be of first concern to the United States Gov- ernment as speculation of every sort is discouraged Although there will be few new fortunes accum- ulated, postwar millionaires will not be numerous. Labor is to make permanent gains which place the worker and his employer, on the same plane of influence. New leadership in the unions will he beneficial. Representation in leeis- iatures and in the Congress will be  strong and intelligent.
 NATIONAL ISSUES, IJniversi- ties and colleges will continue. .to simplify educational trends hv stresslng vocational training and eliminating strictly classical courses Asrologers foretell the continuance Of academic ideas but they may be incorporated in post-graduate opportunities. Since the machine has come to dominate much of the activity of human beings our Am. ericsn ability in mechanics vii, continue to be profitable since if VIII be unequalled in other nations

more, the Army had hired Carl Gerhardt, who had been previously asked to resign by Federal Works because of the contracts he ne- gotiated with utilities.
 The excuse officially given for accepting the higher bid of Okla homa Gas and Electric was that the Grand River project would have to construct eleven miles of line and copper was scarce. However Oklahoma Gas and Electric now has stated that it also will have to put up eleven miles of wire.
 But the crowning irony of the deal is that the Grand River pro- ject interchanges power with Ok lahoma Gas and Electric when one or the other is short of power. So during peak loads, the private company will be buying power from the government at a contract rate of 4 mills, and then selling the same power back to another branch Of the Government for i0.8 mills. SEMEN MAKE REAL DECISIONS
 This is the picture locally in Ok lahoma. Now, get the picture back among the $l-men in Washing ton.
 Further investigation shows that despite Army Federal Works fric- tion in Oklahoma, local officials at first decided that the Govern ment should supply power to the Government and had told the Grand River Authority to proceed. However, Donald Nelson's WIPE makes the final decisions, and some one in it finally threw the con- tract to the private firm.
 It so happens that the Power Branch of WIPE is almost wholly staffed by big shot power company officials, including the following

Answer - People who have

drafts, etc. but so far as my
experience goes, these changes
do not affect the course of the
disease unfavorably.
There Is no reason why
person with sinus disease should
not wear a hat and at the same
time there Is no reason why he
should.
Night air comes under the
subject of changes in tempera-
ture which l have mentioned
above as being one of the fac
tors which makes sinus patients
uncomfortable.
If a person with sinus disease

Another indispensable method
Of examining the heart in an
objective way is the X-ray.
IT viii tell the size OF the
heart, any bulges in the heart
or great vessels.
II tells things that the stetho-
scope cannot tell because there
are certain limitations TO the
stethoscope.
When a condition of the heart

bring il to the examining ear.
/ saw a patient the other day
who showed great dilatation of
the heart and great vessels on
the x-ray. whereas three very
competent physicians had just
pronounced the heart and chest
entirely normal.
CTILL another method OF ex-
~ aiming the heart is the
blood pressure apparatus, which
tells the condition not only of
the heart but OF the entire ar
terial system.
The last of the great objec-
tive methods OF examining the
heart is what is known as the
electrocardiograph
This is a very delicate electric
galvanometer which is able TO
record differences in electrical
potentialities when muscle
contracts.
The heart. being a muscle,
makes a record on the electro
cardiogram which reveals the
working of its muscular con-
fractions.
BY these methods. the exam
iner can tell what is the matter
with a heart often without even
asking the patient question.
The heart m kes certain
sounds during its contractions
and relaxations and these are
transmitted by the stethoscope.
There are certain normal
sounds and there are a number
of abnormal sounds.
WITH the X-ray the examiner
w can tell the exact size of
the heart. its position in the
chest and whether or not IL has
any weakness in its walls.
The blood pressure apparatus
tells the examiner how much
work il is doing.
The electrocardiograph tells
whether the contraction wave of
the heart passes over the right
pathways, whether il does so in
the normal time and whether
there are any interruptions or
irregularities in the contraction
wave.
BY these various means the
examiner has an objective rec
ord of the heart in action.
