have autumn when we have spring
In our country We now have spring,
but Australia now has autumn.
The earth is not the largest Of
the planets and not the smallest.
1t is, however, the one we know
most about.
If there were people on Mars who
could look at the sky, the earth
would be a bright object. 1t would
be about as bright 10 them as the
planet Venus is to us.
II there were people on Venus,
and if clouds did not hide the sky
from them, the earth would be the
most interesting sight IN the sky.
It would look far larger to them
than any other planet, and they
would be able to see the moon
which goes around the earth.

 We are engaged in the biggest war in history, war for our survival as nation We have to pay for it, either through taxes runous imitation.
 No tax bill is ever completely equitable. But we believe this bill based ability to pay is fair bill
 The new tax measure is also the most compli- cated in our history.
 Here we believe the people will need help. There will be 17000 and women who will pay Federal taxes for the first time They, and the 27,000,00O now paying. will be faced not only with understand ing the regular income tax regulations but the new Victory Tax.

liam K Hopkins as West Coast regional director for Manpower, but couldn't get approval from McNutt Finally he learned from Fowler Harper, Manpower deputy director that Harry Bridges objected to Hop kins and that was why his appoint ment was delayed.
 Harper went on to explain to McSherry that Bridges was doing a great job of organizing West Coast Maritime workers and that the cooperation of labor in man. power was important. But Gen. McSherry didn't wait to listen. He roared out of the office, announc- ing that he was going to have a showdown with McNutt on whether or not Harry Bridges was running the Manpower Commission.
 Showdown was not an under statement. McSherry, according to reports, almost blew McNutt out of his chair '
 After a wrothy overture about Bridges alleged Communistic con- nections, and the fact that he was ordered deported by the Attorney General, McSherry laid down this ultimatum:
 If the Hopkins appointment isn't approved, will resign and tell my story to the world on the steps of the Capital"
 Hopkins was approved.
 NOTE: Because of Harry Bridges war cooperation, insiders are bet ting that he will win his court fight to set aside the Justice Depart ment's deportation warrant. Fur thermore, the job Bridges is doing for the War Department in organ izing 'Longshore Labor Battalions' for Second Front in Europe, has already altered McSherrys opinion of him.

DECEPTION

Although the trend of the policy of the military now appears to be toward more informa- tive attitude, the change is coming too
 Nothing damage the faith of the American people in their leaders more than the deceptive heights to which censorship stretched before the breaking point.
 Coming as it did recently, along with other good news, the War Departments admission that several of fliers may have been captured in the famed raid on Tokyo did not hurt as much as it could have.
 But it indeed humiliating for to learn that the Japs had told the truth when they said that at least of planes downed while government had deceived us.
 Surely it would have been a most sensible thing the part of our news dispensers if they had not stretched censorship into deception, and had an nounced the facts before the Japs forced the an- nouncement--or at least had refrained from state ments which encouraged mistaken impression.
 Public confidence in the armed services has been sorely tested. Perhaps this mistake might be wiped off the books. But the very sad thing is that now many Americans do not know what to believe, not sure that their military leaders have not carried out the same policy of deception in other 
 On last May l9, you will remember, Gen. Jimmy Doottle upon being decorated by the President said that there were no planes left in Japan. Some were damaged but shot down and none was damaged to extent which precuded it's pro- ceedng to its destination"
 When the War Department recently was forced by Japan to admit that this not the Ameri- cans could only be expected to remember Gen. Doc lttle's announcement. Certainly it meant to convey the impression that none of our fliers was lost

Hot Dog!
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Not since the visit of His Majesty King George and his Queen to these shores has there been any such tribute to national standby, the hot dog, as it's exemption from the two-and-o -one-half pound allotment of meat for civilian consumption. It IS even possible that nothing has done more to soothe the anxieties of war and it's deprivations
 It is conceivable, of course, that this step was in way connected with the elections. Just fancy member of the Lower House trying to be reelected who would be complacent the ration- ing of hot dogs. There have been worse campaign issues than the free and unlimited coinage of the Coney Island delicacy a ratio of 16 to l.
 At time when relations with Argentina have grown strained meat products, it may be this whole matter might have been composed long ago by inducing the republics to the south to put their beef into frankfurters. What Congress would have dared to oppose their untrammeled entry into our midst?
 It is unnecessary to recount the superiorities of the deicacy which has this longtime been giving us standby service at ball games bars, debuante break lasts, picnics and roadside diners The cookbooks which knew him not in the days of Mrs. Rorer and the austere Fannie Merritt Farmer now list variety of recipes for his all the way from snack to main dish. But those who met him anywhere like him best with split bun and mustard and are glad the dog days not

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compep'
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 21

Good and evil are discerned ln the planetary aspects for today Restlessness and anxiety may be prevalent among persons of every age
 HEART AND HOME: This week end should be suspicious for the entertainment of soldiers, sailors and air men. The stars encourage hospitalities extended to strangers. High cost of food will be ignored all through this month owing to configurations that cause families to go on the principle that the best time is now The feeling of uncertainty regarding the future may be insisten, but should not be harbored Positive faith in hu- man betterment as result of this most terrible war should be stub bornly cultivated.
 NATIONAL I s s U s: Labor comes under a configuration that promises broad cooperation with Government aims. Strikes will be bitterly opposed and legally pre- vented in the new year. Equality between the financial returns of | agriculture and industry will be { finally established, it is forecast. American farmers are to prosper long after peace is established, as trologers prophecy, for lands laid waste by war will be slow in re- 1 gaining fertility
 INTERNATIONAL A FF A IR S.: Intense attacks by the enemy Axis | powers will mark the end of this year which is the worst in all war records and should be also the turning point toward final victory for the United Nations Unity of command must be assured in all great operations In this conflict battles differ so distinctly in char acter that only experts in each special branch of fighting can achieve success This means that in naval engagements which involve air and land forces all should be commanded by an admiral, while in air offensives Navy and Army officers should be under an avia- tor of highest rank. In land opera tions supported by air and naval forces a general should be in Su- preme in authority.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of more than average success. Sudden de- cisions may be unfortunate
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky in winning what they most desire for they should be talented and fairly well poised in character although too impul- sive.

ANTI-vICHY FRENCHMEN LOSE

The issue also arises in civilian matters. The Office of War 1nfor- nation is now taking over the Am erican offices of the famous French news agency, Havas. Tn doing so, it is hiring the Havas personnel which stayed on and played ball with Vichy ignoring the intensely pro-Ally Frenchmen who resigned from Havas immediately the Vichy regime began to play ball with Hit Ter. These pro-Ally Frenchmen are now out in the cold, and the pro- Vichy French newsmen will oper- ate in cushy berths under owl.
 The problem may be insoluble when it comes to such men as Ad- miral Darlan and Gen.>De Gaulle. Yet it remains extremely impor- tant For it affects the other exile governments, particularly the Czechs, Poles, and Greeks, plus various other peoples, such as the anti Fascist Italians. They are be- ginning to wonder whether their efforts at establishing the Europe an underground, etc, are going to be recognized after the war, or whether some of the old fascist re- gimes will go back into power, per haps with the tacit support of the United States and Great Britain
 WRONG MICHIGAN CITY
 About 10 years ago when Senator Prentiss Brown of Michigan was member of the House of Repre- sentatives, he steered an appropria- ton through Congress to pay the overdue salaries of Chicago school teachers.
 Shortly after this, Brown was a guest at banquet in Washington attended by Chicagos Democratic boss, Ed Kelly Kelly thanked the Michigan legislator profusely.
 Some day I'm going to return the favor" Kelly told Brown. We Chicagoans owe you a lot"
 Shortly before the last election, in which Brown was defeated, the two men met again at luncheon in the Capital, and Kelly assured
