only a little more than one month s supply of scrap iron on hand, one of the big Midwestern newspapers, the Omaha World-Herald, has start ed it's own program to get Nebraska farmers and businessmen to round up their scrap.
 Publishing a series of full page advertisements in color, the World Herald is reminding its readers that Time Is Slipping By that we can't Leave It All Up to George" and offers awards of S2,000 in War Bonds to business firms, individuals and youngsters bringing in the most scrap.
 The newspaper also designed a Scrap Scout" badge, awarded to any boy or girl who brings in 25 pounds of scrap iron or rubber. The campaign has aroused tremendous enthusiasm and 1t looks as If the World Herald would be instrumental in cleaning up all the scrap iron in Nebraska.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not c0mpep
THURSDAY. JULY 30

Benefic aspects dominate today although Saturn is in adverse sway. The stars are kindly to women m the home.
 HEART AND HOME: Stimulat- ing ard inspiring influences are dis cerned today for women who will be happy through domestic harmony and youthful romance. This is an suspicious wedding day. There is a sign read as promising prosperity for brides who take the VOWS un- der the kindly vibrations of the planets active under this configur- ation. This is a favorable time for training in the art of economic cookery. Women of all ages nov have the chance to render good ser vice to the nation by expert prep aration of food.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Transpor- tation problems will affect more and mere lines of business as worn
 
 tires give out and gasoline ration ing offers restrictions. Peddlers will multiply as the use of animal-drawn vehicles IS demonstrated as profit able. Shops will visit patrons in suburbs and country places. Yankee resourcefulness will find ways 10 make life under wartime conditions fairly easy and comfortable.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: There is a sign that appears to presage Gn event or disaster that will awaken the Middle West to the full mean ing of war Unity of purpose wil be widespread as civilians prove ability tJ defend life and property. The seerS long have warned of per ills that menace the interior of the country but attention has been largely concentrated on coast cities. Again emphasis is placed on the prevalence of surprise in war move mentS.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Naval action in the Mediterranean will be fortunate for the United Allies who are to benefit through out output of warships. The stars appear to presage a synchronous conflict covering all points of en- agreements prominent in the ear Her world battles. Interpretations of the signs differ but decisive re- suits favorable to the United Ma tions are forecast. AS the month closes the outlook for August is en- couraging for the cause of the democracies Delays in achieving certain o5jectives may be tempor- arily disappointing.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the auguly of a year of good for tune. They should be keenly alive mentally, magnetic in personality and really gifted.

WAGES AND INITIATION

The recent action of q National War Labor Board panel in reporting favoraby a $1 a day increase for the Little Steel" workers doesn't quite follow President Roosevets promise to the nation that wages would be stabilized
 Moreover. the reasoning of the panel in account ing for their action seeTs difficult to understand. Granting the increase, the Board representatives claim, will cost the steel companies practically noth- ing, since under the s4 percent excess profits tax approved by the House Ways and Means Commit tee the companies would have to pay only percent of the raise The balance would cost the companies nothing since it would come out of a decrease in taxes.
 We believe that the Labor Board panel has lost sight of the purpose in keeping at their pres ent levels. The main objective should not be to keep companies from making less profits but to keep the nations buying power-the wage reservoir-at it's present level to avoid inflaton now, the wages being paid and the volume of goods available for civ ilian consumption are entirely out of whack To fur ther unbaance the scale by granting raises is losing sight of the objective.
 President Roosevelt, in talk on April 28 told workers: You are going to have to forego higher wages for the duration of the war He said that the Government will do everything in it's power to prevent wage increases even when employer is willing to grant raise
 This problem of imitation seems simple enough. Huge Government spending coupled with diminish ing supply of goods resulting from the di- version of industry to armament production means that the natural tendency is to force the price of the scarce articles up Price ceilings can stop this a certain extent, But the ceilings will be forced to open up if wages continue to increase. In addi- tion, the man who continues to works for pre-war wage, the who stays in his niche because he IS most valuable there, is suffering His wages are be- inan war workers wage is rased The difference is wide enough at present.
 Yet the Labor Board panels decision in this in stance of the Little Steel" has paved the way for similar demands and similar rulings.
 If inflaticn is to be quashed in the bud, legsla- ton enabling MT Henderson to put ceiling on wages must be passed-and soon.

Air Battleship
CCincinnGti E1quirer)

CCncinnqti Enquirer
 A new epoch in both military and commercial aviation opened the other day when the seventy flying boat Mars lifted it's bulk from the chop of Chesapeake Bay and scared into the air in seem ingy effortless flight It the frs successful test flight of the so-caled battleship of the air. The original test was marred by the breaking of a pro- pelIer blade, which caused one of the flying ships four 2OO0- horsepower engines to shake out of its nacelle
 Size is no oddity in flying boats, because the var ious Clipper planes which have been in transoceanic service for number of years have not been small craft but the Mars establishes concept of bulk Its wingspan 200 feet twothirds the length of football field Its propellers are the largest in the world measuring 176 feet-as high as the second floor of the average house. And to carry this com parison little further the cubic content of the hull alone-excusive of the wings--is equal to that of fourteen-room house.
 The Mars can carry as much gasoline a rail road tank car, and in use military transport could carry 150 fully armed soldiers a nonstop flight to Europe and return The navy has not dis closed to what the Mars-or the XPB2M-1-will be put, but it is indicated that it will be used for emergency transport and fast shipment of critical freight.
 The very size of the flying boat seemingly would make it an easy target for attack said about the early United States Army Flying Fortresses) But, in the of the latter hitting and disabling are two different things. The Flying Fortresses have ability to withstand fearful amount of enemy fire, and Glenn L. Martin, designer and builder of the Mars, says that "she cannot be shot down unless her winga are literally shot off"
 The Mars has been five years in the designing and building MT Martin says that he has designed plane twice the size of the Mars, but that the phasis will be getting the seventy-ton craft into production. The designer says that they be produced at the rate of a month But he indi- cated deliveries cannot start for two years That, however is estimate likely to be radically revised America appreciates the of these flying bat tleships."

Knowing how well Boy Scouts serve the nation in WartlmeS, President Woodrow Wilson be. came an enthusiastic booster ot the Scout Movement and lent his support to further its work.
 in a Presidential Proclamation, President Wilson said:
 t"The Boy Scouts have not only demonstrated their worth to the nation, but have also materially contributed to a deeper apprecia.. ton by the American people of the higher conception of patriot Ism and good citizenship.
 Every nation depends for It's future upon the proper training and development of it's youth. The American boy must have the best training and discipline our great democracy can provide If America is to maintain her ideals, her standards and her influence in the world.
 Anything that is done to in- crease the effectiveness of the Boy Scouts of America is a gen. uine contribution to the welfare Vt the nation.

OPTICAL TRUST BUSTER

A friend asked Mrs. Thurman Arnold if her husband, the trust busting Assistant Attorney General, always wore that black ribbon around his neck
 Yes" said Mrs. Arnold, "he does Ito keep track of his eyeglasses. Sometimes he may be even stark naked, but he will always have that black ribbon around his neck.
 Tt comes from losing so many pairs of glasses. For time it was more than the family budget could bear. Eighteen-fifty every time he lost a pair! You know how ex- pensiye eyeglasses are.
 Here Mrs. Arnold reflected a mo- ment. Then she added, Eighteen fifty a pair-you know. think that was one reason Thurman was SC hard on the optical industry

The Indispensable" Man
(Philadelph'a Record


 We reason to lcy awake at nights worry ing about New York's current controversy-over the IA draft classification given Ralph Ingersoll editor of PM, who sought deferment but whose employer did.
 Either of these principals has right of appeal from the local boards action and for review of every scrap of evidence Moreover, the record of the pres ent military conscription is itself that justice and the best interest of the nation will be served in the end
 Draft board officials have come to observe them, have been faithful to their task To begin with, they had the best conscription system in America s history It has been steadily improved The fairness and diligence with which it has been executed stand a shining mark of merit in the program We don't think any newspaper editor employe has right to claim exemption because his job is essential" Publishing newspapers is a useful and often patriotic service But other businesses industries and professions.

 In the midst of this confusion, one passenger remained serene Dorothy Caruso, widow of the great Metropolitan Opera tenor Enrico Caruso
 Returning from France and Italy, where she had been doing social work, American-bo Dorothy Park Benjamin Caruso was eager to get ashore in the New York she used to know. But Jesse Saugstad, State Departments shipping expert. came to her and said:
 Mrs Caruso, you have been a soothing influence among these people through the whole voyage, and although I could get you off today, I would like you to stay aboard and quiet some of these ruff fled tempers.' .
 Mrs Caruso was glad to oblige. With her two daughters, Gloria and Jasqueline, she remained on the Drottningholm, tied to the pier, for six days, mingling with grouchy and discontented passengers
 On the last day, daughter Gloria, who had not seen America since she was a child, was asked what she wanted to do most when she got ashore
 T don't want to stay in New York" she said After all the con- fusion of the trip and the heart rending things I have seen in Eur ope, just want to get out into the woods somewhere, and sit under a tree for a whole week."
