HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compeW
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3

Benefic aspects dominate today. Neptune is in threatening sway. Ac- cidents may be numerous under this configuration.
 HEART AND HOME: Until eve ming the stars encourage the nl- 1 terests of men or at least their most far-reaching activities in war and peace. Through the day Wo- men will benefit through their aid in the home, their sympathy and understanding where extreme hu- man experiences come to the men i of their families. This means that with the end of the year financial problems will disturb heads of households and women wage earn CTS. Drastic Government policies regarding workers, which will be contemplated for the new year, may cause apprehensions. Girls should find this evening most fa- vorable to romance. It is lucky wedding date.
 [ BUSINESS AFFAIRS: New em- ployees will be numerous in retail centers where abridged service will be necessary in department stores. Profits should be fair despite many extra expenses which merchants will be compelled to bear. The stars promise a month of large sales and good prices The sense of na- tional prosperity will be responsible for much extravaganza in buying.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Equality of sacrifice for war needs will be much preached in coming weeks when it is evident that minority in this country still fails to real ize that victory depends upon the effort of every man and woman in the nation. PoSSeSsors of new for tunes will be more than ever un- popular inaSmuch as the leveling of wealth has produced changed ideals regarding dollars as syni- bols of American success. Million aires of the past will be measured by their benefactions.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." With memorable power the United Nations will move against Ger many and Japan in the new year Slowly it will become evident that the Allies have planned their vari- ous lines of offensive action with great care and caution. Victory fol freedom and right is to be mo- saic in which the smallest details are necessary. Small air raids must fit into heroic movements of tank: and men. Uranus, the planet o1 drama, will influence navies ano armies
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the augury of year of gooc luck. Advancement and happiness. are promised by the stars.

THE REvAMPED RELEASE

Under the circumstances, Willkie bowed to the Secretary of War, went immediately to the Herald Tribune forum, called in the press, and re- vamped the releases which had been given out some hours earlier to all newspapers There he found that the United States government had taken the very unusual step of in- structing the newspapers to hold up his speech.
 Later Willkie also learned that cabling his speech abroad had also been delayed. The delay of an hour and half was due to cutting from the speech the paragraph that Willkie had eliminated at Stimson's request
 At four o'clock the next afternoon, Willkie was dumbfounded to read that the President of the United States himself had released state ment in which he said that the temporary expediency' with Ad- miral Darlan was justified solely by the stress of battle" and would not be permanent,
 If Secretary Stmson was afraid Willkie's statement would under mine efforts in North Africa, he must have had shivers over Roose- velt's statement For the President went so far as to say that mo one in our Army has any authority to discuss the future government of France and the French Empire"
 In view of this, Willkies friends are completely mystified as to why Secretary Stimson called to suppress the Vichy portion of Willkie's speech. Whether Stimson was speaking for the President, remains their secret. But the incident has created the impression that despite talk of the loyal opposition" the Administra- ton much prefers criticism of itself

new buildings, and needed the loft. He tried to get the private firm to quit tearing it down. Then he phoned frantically to the Maritime Commission. It replied that con- tract had been given and the con- tract would have to stand.
 Since the government pays for all these things, this means net loss to the government of the difference between $8O000 and $15,000 or $65,- 900.
 Also the Maritime Commission sold the piles driven into the mud on which the new shipyard was to stand, and a private firm began to pull them up. Again Higgins pro- tested, said that these piles would be needed as foundation for the new airplane plant.
 Maritime officials said the matter would have to wait three or four

GOVERNMENT COMPETES WITH

When the Maritime Commission cancelled Andrew Jackson Higgins Liberty Shipbuilding plant at New Orleans, he had already built large storage loft at a cost to the gov ernment of $80,00o.
 After the contract cancellation, the Maritime Commission sold the loft to a private firm for $15,000 to be demolished.
 Later Higgins was given a govern ment contract to build 1900 planes. Thus he will have to build a lot of

Suggestion That Failed
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The almost defunct Anti-Saloon League of Ono, through it's superintendent s. P. McNaught, is 2t- tempting to the a vehicle on which to return to it's former power recent letter from MT McNaught to all candidates of both parties suS- gested that something should be done" about the problem of liquor control
 The letter is strangely reminiscent of the early days of the last war, when this same organization, using the arguments, forced down the throats of the American people constitutional amendment which brought untold trouble, disgrace and chaos to a large percentage of our population Liquor control" the Anti-Saloon League desired it, then proved an utter and expensive failure Certainly It shall not be tried again as long as America remem- bers the last experiment"
 It is to the credit of candidates of both parties throughout Ohio that the McNaught letter was a complete flop. The vast majority of the men run ming for office ignored it entirely; the few who did answer were adamant in their opposition to a return to league control.
 The liquor problem is being handled carefully efficiently by the various states under the sys- tems which they have adopted and by the War and Navy Departments in territory under their control This is no time consider return to the dark days which followed the passage of the last Anti-Saloon League amendment.

PIPELINE DELAYS

The new oil pipeline from Texas to southern Illinois will be finished about mid December. Thanks to Secretary Ickes oil men, the pipe line has been built in record time.
 But though it hasn't leaked out yet, the, line when finished, can't be used immediately. Reason: WIPE wouldn't give priorities for pumps and valves. So another month will be required to get the pumps and start the pipeline working.
 From Illinois, oil will go by barge up the Ohio River, and this was calculated to ease the oil shortage in the East. However, oil require ments in North Africa will be so great that little can be spared for Eastern consumers.

And NOW look at him!
Hes about as prominent as the
president.
The truth is that he's been so
conspicuously identified with f. D.,
as the latter's representative, that
he might find it hard to disassoci-
ate himself from the latter as a
rival White House candidate. I'd
surmise that he could stand 1t,
though, in that capacity.
And he's performed ereditabiy.
Gambling on his nomination In

CLOSING IN ON DISEASE

Many lives may 'e PToloi'E "
through the discovery that the
chances OF diabetes appearing in rs
vet unaffected membets Of dia-
bette famH. can be forecast. Evil
dence is strong at the present time
that the disease is actually Inherit
ed. or susceptible Of transmission,
in every case.
When an Unbeatable character
makes its appearance in one gen
Grafton OF a single family at given
age. in the followin generation at
an earlier age and so on, the phe
nomenon is known as "anticipa-
ton.
In a study Of 100 families, antici-
patton was observed in 80 OF them.
In 10 Of IS families that showed
the disease in two generations. the
diabetes skipped one generation,
occurring in the FIRST ana thltu gen
erations.
In these families skipping one
generation, physicians say, the diff
ferences between the ages Of onset
in the first and third generations
varies from 25 to 65 years. In all
the families showing the trend as
between two successive genera
lions, the average between the age
OF onset in the two generations ls
20 years.
On the basis Of a general average
OF 20 years the disease may appear
in a first generation in the forties,
fifties or later, in a second genera
tion in the twenties, thirties or
forties, in a third is the first or sec

Prevention

As with other examples Of care
iessness, the most dangerouApiace
is the home. During peace time
SO per cent of all burns occur in
the home, 10 per cent in industry,
and 7 per cent in public accidents.
The hazard of burns in the home
naturally increases in the fall and
winter.
Prevention is the primary re-
sponsibility of the public in order
70 improve this national record.
The secondary responsibilities
TO learn first aid treatment Of
burns. 1t has seemed to me, read
ing the reports on new advances
in medicine in the daily papers
and weekly magazines, that there
have been an abnormal number Of
announcements the past few years
of a new, perfected, final treat
ment for burns which casts all
other forms of treatment into the
ash can. In reading a review by
surgeon Of enormous experience
in my this weeks medical journal,
am impressed with the point that
he does not rely on any one treat
ment, and in fact, is very skep-
teal of the new treatments.
The first things the amateur,
modern First Alder thinks of in
treating an emergency burn are
sulfa powder, fannie acid or grease
Of some kind. But to the contrary,
this first aid advice says:
do not apply fannie acid or
jelly or strong tea to a burn until
after the burn has been properly
cleaned by a doctor.
DO not apply grease in any
FORM
The foremost and primary rule
in the first aid treatment Of severe
burns is;
Treat all burned patients for
shock"
Even doctors don't know that
one heard eff TIVE -iHteFRes
puzzled by what TO do for a badly
burned patient brought to a hos
pital, when another came along
and said, "I'd give him some NOR
phine." This was a surprise to
the others.
Further first aid advice:
For extensive burns cover the
patient with both clean sheet and
blankets; send the victim to a
hospital Immediately.
Keep the patient warm. Give
hot tea or coffee by mouth.
Do not move the patient about
in an attempt to put on a neat
bandage.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
S. S.:-Please tell me what are
floating opacities Of the eye? What
effect will they have in the long
run on vision?
Answer: 0pacities in vision are
due to changes in the consistency
Of the vitreous humour Of the pos
terror chamber Of the eye. Most
people over so have some amount,
more or less, and in the great ma
jority Of cases they are not serious
and carry no threat to vision,
However, If extensive, cloud-like
opacity occurs; it is best to con-
suit an oculist.
