HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeW
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IL
Benefic aspects rule late today.
The morning hours are under adj
verse sway which affects labor and
shipping.
HEART AND HOME: Three
planets in the fifth house of the
national horoscope are read to in
dictate that the women of the Unit
ed States will be widely employed
in war work while they hope against
hope for an early peace. There
will be grumbling about the rising
cost of living and many will be
impatient about certain Army regu-
lations Among the young men,
bers of the family, school and col
lege students, the tendency toward
strong individualism will be marked
as they declare that they must live
their own lives regardless of ira
diticn. Parents will have many
trials.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Inevitably
certain investments will decrease
in value and many incomes will
shrink. Among the wealthy there
will be the feeling that possessors
of fortunes are really Impoverished.
Wage-earners will continue to spend
generously although the impression
OF general prosperity begins to fade
from the public mind. Heavy losses
through the war will begin to be
felt for numbers of oil tankers and
supply ships will be lost.
NATIONAL ISSUES The fact
that the United States must feed
the world will be emphasized as
starving millions continue to need
our supplies. Many will recall with
regret the Wholesale destruction of
crops, animals, fruits and cotton
less than a decade ago. Prices will
soar as the month ends, it is fore
told. Again the value of home
gardening will be appreciated Many
town residents will try raising
chickens as we'll as vegetables.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Demonstration on actual battlefields
and on the high seas that air
planes will decide the war will speed
production marvelously. American
aviators will continue to prove
their experiences as we'll as their
valor and their aid will be more
and more apparent through the next
few weeks. Although we shall be-
gin to show our power this spring
the World War will be drawn out
through many months, it is indi-
Gated. This year, however, should
be decisive in the trend of the
conflict.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year in which It
is necessary to exercise poise be-
cause the brightest prospects are
not apparent and it is easy to lose
ones bearings.
Children born on this day will be
gifted, restless and inclined to be
exceedingly independent They will
love travel and adventure.

22-year-old daughter, Mrs. Kath-
crime Britt, a S1,800-a-year secre-
tary in her potent fathers office.
Further, Mrs. Britt isn't the only
member of her own family drawing
a government pay check. Her hus-
band, M. G. Britt, has a $4,000 job
in the food section of the Wan
Production Board
His rise to this pay scale is al
most as spectacular as was that
of his sister-in law, Mrs. Holmead
A little over year ago, before
he became a McReynolds' son-in-
law, young Britt was messenger
in the old OPM at 81 1880 a year
He vigorously insists that his sue
cess story" rise was not due to his
marriage, and cites as proof the
fact that his latest promotion was
prior to his wedding.
Il got it entirely through my own
ability he declares. MIR. Nc
Reynolds had absolutely nothing to
do with it. In fact, didn't meet
him until a few months ago. I
met my wife in December 194D
We became engaged two weeks lat
er and were married in January
At the time he was making his
meteoric rise, however his future
sister in-law, Mrs. Holmead, was a
high official in the OPM's per-
sonnet office.
The other two McReynolds' rela-
tives on the government payroll
are Mrs. Holmeads husband, draw
ing $1,000 as Procurement Div
ision employe, and his father John
Holmead, ST., getting $4,000 with
the Farm Credit Administration.
With McReynolds' $4,000 a year,
the combined take" for the fam
lily is s2l,lo0.
Note: Another White House big
shot who has a relative on the
Government payroll is Lowell Mel
lett, head of the office of govern
ment reports. Dexter Keezer, Mel
lett son-in-law, recently was made
$8,000-a-year chief of the consum-
ers division.

ing him divorce from his absent
spouse. we can not say it's decree
should be excepted from the full
faith and credit clause, merely
because its enforcement or recog-
milton in another State would con-
flict with the policy of the latter.
whether Congress has the power
to create exceptions is a question
on which we express no view. 1t is
suhicient here to note that Con-
gress in its sweeping requirement
that judgments of the courts of
one State be given full faith and
credit in the courts of another has
not done So"
The court specifically overruled a
previous decision known as Haddock
versus Haddock which involved a
suit for separation and alimony
brought in New York State BY a
wife whose husband pleaded in de-
fense that he had obtained a di-
vorce in Connecticut. The Supreme
Court had held then that New York
need not give full faith and credit
to the Connecticut decree on the
ground that the husband had wrong
fully left his New York domicile.
Dissenting Opinions.
Justices Jackson and Murphy
wrote separate dissenting opinions.
Justice Jackson said the majority
opinion "ushers in a new order of
matrimonial confusion and ire
sponsibility."
Noting that the majority said its
judgment is part of the price of
our federal system" Justice jackson
remarked
1T is price that we did not have
to pay yesterday and that we will
have to pay tomorrow only because
this court has willed it to be so to-
day."
Justice jackson said that he could
not agree to exerting the Federal
Governments judicial power ito
compel the State of North Carolina
to subordinate its own law to the
Nevada divorce DEGREES. It
nullif1es the power Of each State to
protect its own citizens against dis
solution of their marriages by the
courts Of other States which have
an easier system Of divorce"
