Fun's Fun, But .. !

 That amusing story the papers printed the other day about volunteer fremen in Haverford
 One company with 112-inch hose fighting the fire when rival company, with 214 inch hose, started to squirt the first fremen off the roof Seems there jlirisdictional dispute who owned the fire.
 On second thought, it wasn't very amusing story
 We begin to wonder how much cooperation the volunteer fremen in suburbs would show if there were hundred fires burning at once, result of an air raid with incendiary bombs?
 Efforts should be made now before the bombs fall to map the plans for cooperation, and for standardization of equipment. With the best will in the world it's quite job to connect a 112-inch hose to 215 inch hose.
 An article in the March issue of Harper's Nigga zine describes coordination of Maryands fire-ghting forces. The State has been divided into six fire defense districts each with district inspector and State coordinator over all
 No one doubts the ability of volunteer fire men. But their efforts must be coordinated Now is the time to do it.

HOROSCOPE "Tbe stdrs incline
 but do not cOmpep
THURSDAY, APRIL :

Benefic aspects rule today which should be marked by good news. Persons who wield authority are subject to favorable influences. The evening is lightly adverse in it's planetary government.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under stimulating and even in- spring guidance of the stars while this configuration prevails. Girls may be imbued with romance and may expect happy love affairs, for even hesitant suitors will be en- Enthusiastically vocal under this planetary direction. This is for tunate wedding day that promises prosperity and long association. Ac- celerated activities for older wom- en are forecast. Fame will come to many whose efforts have been overshadcwed in early war work.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Expan- sion Of aviation and other inn portant interests will continue to spur business. Manufacturing will prove to be more successful in speedy production than it's most sanguine promoters prophesied. Merchandising will be profitable. Women will continue to shop gen. erously. despite warnings about the wisdom of thrift. A few will hoard clothing as well as canned foods. but the seers warn that uniforms will supersede the usual attire of young girls, also of many older women Home Improvements will bring profits to interior decorators, for attention will be centered in the hcusehcld which becomes a haven for young folk scattered far in defense service.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As women in large numbers become necessary in defense preparations care of young children will be problem to be solved wisely Establishment of nursery schools will be advo- cated Scientific feeding will be recognized as a major national in- terest. Regimentation necessary in wartime will extend to infants who will benefit from daily guidance by experts. American life is to be molded by strange events that en- list persons of all ages in public service
 INTERNATIONAL FAIR s: France is to be the center of a political scandal of ar-reaching eff feet, foreign astrologers forecast. Results of close association of the people of the western hemisphere will be evident in an event of great possible misfortune for the Ameri- cas. Argentine's Mars in Leo is mentioned as having an influence toward independence in action, but i Saturn's transit of Taurus will bring changes before the end of the year, it is prognosticated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of peace and happiness within the family circle, while military or naval ser vice brings recognition.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be fortunate in their ca reers. Artistic talents that encour- age high ambitions will belong to many boys and girls.
