May ! bring out one more
point that Bradley missed?
Soon after the passage Of the
40 mill tax law the schools over
the state found themselves 80
hardup that it was only by
slight margin that some of them
kept open AT all. Teachers salar-
les were cut TO a disgracefully
low mark and operating costs
cut TO the bone. when the federal
government stepped in and
built school houses all over the
state and furnished money for
operating expenses.
Recently thousands Of new in
come tax payers have been add
ed to the government rolls and
new money from the small tax
payer is rolling into Washing
ton, d. C. in just about the same
amount. II you viii notice, TO
equal that poured into our school
districts by the government SO
there again you have the little
fellow paying the taxes for the
big ones. Think this over too.

HOROSCOPE

This Is a fortunate day in
labor relations and seems to
presage the utmost cooperation
between workers and the gov
eminent. There In an aspect
stimulating to clear thinking.
Heart and Home: The stars
encourage home industries to-
day. Women will undertake
many tasks that contribute to
the well-being Of the family.
Under this configuration poise
and philosophy should be appar-
ent among mothers and wives
whose minds travel constantly to
men in the service of the coun-
try. In coming weeks astrolo-
gers foresee many tests of cour-
age and true patriotism which
women Of all ages will meet
bravely.
Business Affairs: Industrial
machinery will function with
amazing speed and business will
60 on much ~ IL there were no
war. The American adaptable
ity TO circumstances will be DEM
onstrsted in the marts OF trade.
Large amounts Of money will be
spent for whatever is needed for
the most thorough protective
measures As well as for about
warfare.
National Issues: AS the world
war progresses there will be
critics of campaign plans. but
the stars are read as pressging
some fumbling toward war pro-
ficiency which will be merely
preparation for the most won
derful victory over the foes of
democracy. The seers declare
that this year will be marked by
the most violent conflict in
war that may be drawn out
through 1913 and even into the
Following year. There is 4 sign
read as indicating many OBJ
stacles in the way of final peace.
Persons whose birthdate II is
have the augury OF a year Of
severe trials including losses,
delays and disappointments. but
they will later be balanced by
good fortune.
Children born on this day
probably will be temperamental
and difficult. These Aquarians
may have superiative gifts and
should win great success.

Official reports play UP indi-

ment, army. navy, economists,

such optimism. Yet they fear
to tell the public lest disclos-
ures shatter morale. They are
afraid Americans cannot stand

articulate every hour is a group
of equally sincere patriots who
believe the people should be
given even the bitterest facts
and that then they will rally as
their fathers did after Valley
Forge, Bull Run, and other dark
hours.

AVIATION OPENS IT'S
RANKS TO GIRLS

Plans are made to expand our
air force to almost two million
field and flying personnel-quite
long step beyond the sixteen
officers and seventy-seven bird
men we had in 1914, the year of
the outbreak of the first World
War. Although the big figure is
not for this season we shall need
within the coming months at
least $4,000 in the aerial arm.
This means aviation, once the
citadel of daring males will
open its ranks to the fair sex.
The lovelies will not engage in
dog fights and diving attacks
but there are branches of the
service in which their strength
and skills can be use.
Already Uncle Sam is calling
for co-eds with college degrees
in engineering to fill jobs in the
scientific and designing depart
ments. National aeronautic or
CARNATIONS hold training courses
whose students are graduated
into ground work. Over three
thousands licensed feminine
pilots are being assigned to the
Civil Air Patrol and eventually
may act as civilian filters to re-
place regulars lost through the
draft and even attempt the At
lantic ferry.
If balloon bsrrages ever are
1uired here, the ladies may
handle them. Studies are being
made of similar duties perform
ed by British women, who are
repairers, fabrics workers, and
riggers. Others operate the
lighter-than-air protective de-
vices. Life in the open appeals
to active girls. Before they win
their insignias. they are taught
construction. initiation. methods
of mooring, winch details, and
engine repair.

salvage paper, rags, iron, and
rubber. Home owners are asked
to dispose of their rummage
piles through junk rather than
try again the unorganized pot
and-pan drives which ended with
city parks looking like public
dumps.
The British are picking up
some OF the seven million rail
road ticket stubs thrown away
each day and will make them
into cartridge cases. Pieces of
discarded cloth are being ground
into roofing felts for huts in
Iceland. Over ninety million
bricks have been combed out of
air raid rubble and built into
emergency water tanks for sub
sequent blitzkriegs. Bones, gar
bage, and fertilizers have been
reclaimed. When added to other
trash. the accumulation equals
the cargoes of two hundred and
fifty ships.

RUSS CONDEMNATION
NOT SURPRISING
The kremlin's recent condem-
nation Of its democratic Allies
spanked no surprise among those
who have discussed the world
situation with Ambassador Lit
vinov when they found him in
confidential mood. Although
Moscow's leading advocate of
collaboration with the western
powers, Joe Stains ex-foreign
minister is the most hard boiled
and realistic member of the local
diplomatic corps.
He considers the hide-and-seek
game. which Auchinleck and
Rommel are playing in North
Africa, a piece of foolishness. In
his opinion London launched the
recent offensive in Libya for
purely political reasons. 1t was
a dramatic but unimportant
move designed to fulfill home
demand for action. AS a military
strategist. he thinks the British
should simply maintain defens-
i've line as protection of the Suez
Canal.
Soviet statesmen and soldiers
do not consider the war in the
desert the answer TO their pleas
for establishment of a second
'front.' against Hitler. The Rus
SLAMS are also slightly shocked
at Anglo-American panic over
the Mikado's Far Eastern sweep,
remembering how their men,
women and children bore up
even when Nazi guns were polk
ing their barrels over Moscow's
outer bulwarks.
Litvinov makes no bones about
the fact that his boss wants no
foreign reinforcements to fight
on Lenin's holy soil. Fiercely ma
tionslistic. the dictator distrusts
even his helpmstes. He yearns to
crush der fuehrer as eagerly as
do Roosevelt and Churchill. but
all he asks Of them is planes,
