MONDAY, APRIL 90

Adverse planetary aspects are ac-
tive which is ill-omened for mill
tary and naval operations. Aviation
is under good direction.
H E A r T AND HOME: This
should be a fortunate date for
starting work in which men are
associates. Women will prove theil
ability to undertake exacting tasks
in shops and factories. Through the
month there may be radical changes
IN American home life. Older Wo-
men must readjuSt their ideas and
their habits as many take up tasks
long since relinquiShed. Girls NAV
present new problems to labor
unions but they will gain recoeni-
tlon that assures equal pay for
work that is equal to that per
formed by men.
that performed by men
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: State ex-
pendltures on colossal scale will
continue to cause those who look
toward postwar financial condi-
lions more or less anxiety but Gov
ernment requirements will be recog-
nized as imperative enough to pre-
vent criticism. Reduction of clerical
extras in Washington however will
be strongly advocated. Simplifica-
ton of the federal machinery will
be imperative as too many cogs re-
tard speed
NATIONAL ISSUES: Provision
for alien evacuees will present new
problems, Danger of secret acts of
hostility will increase through the
Summer, it is forecast, so that prop
er vigilance will be imperative even
among groups that apparently are
friendly and command sympathy be-
cause they are innocent victims of
war conditions. Fifth column re-
sourcefulness will be discovered in
clever devices and in secret af-
illiations. Traitors who value money

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOmpep'
SUNDAY, APRIL 10

Adverse planetary aspects rule
today which may be depressing. The
tendency to expect the worst may
be prevalent. Solace will be found
IN churches, which will attract
large congregations.
HEART AND HOME: Women
may be high-strung and nervous
while this configuration prevails.
The inclination to criticize the
Government as well as members of
the family may be strong. Courage
and fortituGe will be needed in
coming weeks, aStrologers forecast,
and they urge self discipline. Ru-
mors regarding war reverses may
be widely disseminated by secret
enemies. The greatest caution in
listening to bad news and in com
menting upon it is counseled.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Reduced
resources of oil, copper and rubber
will affect trade and manufacturing
Mars and Jupiter in the sixth house
may cause labor troubles while
stimulating the national desire to
fight with determined zeal which
bitterly resents reports of peace
overtuyes. Despite increasing war
burdens and perils, business will
be surprisingly good. Added loans
Ct millions will be voted to allied
nations in need of financial aid.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Gossip will
continue to add to the horrors of
war In New York City and Wash
ington dinner table quips will be as
dangerous as bullets because unity
of purpose is an essential in VIM
ming the war. Enemies in high
places and responsible positions will
work with secrecy but will gain
/ limited influence Women's organ
i izations are warned against speak
ers who present carefully camo-
llaged propaganda. Teachers in
schools and colleges will be among
those who sow ideas that nourish
traitors.
i INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
AStrologers point out that among
all the nations of the world the
United States, the only Uranus in
Gemini and Neptune in VIRGO ma
ticn, is to carry the responsibility
! of winning the Second World War
/ The victory to be won is not merely
a triumph of arms but leadership
of humanity. When peace is at
/ tanned there must be an interna-
tional democracy, the seers declare
/ in which there is a community of
power instead of a balance OF
power; organized peace instead OF
organized rivalries.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of fan
fortune but they should beware OF
the pursuit of pleasure and extrav-
agance in the use of money.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be happy and careless il
nature, ambitious and fond of lux
uries. They should be exceedingly
clever and talented.

Tire Thieves
lPhiladelphia Record

Philadelphia RECORD
Five years in prison, a 5000 fine-or both.
That is the maximum penalty, in Pennsylvania,
for tire-stealing
1t is time to apply the full penalty
Tire thievery is increasing at alarming rate,
in this and other States.
In Philadelphia alone, more than 100 suspects
have been captured, while hundreds of have been
stripped of their rubber.
Only last week six youths were caught and &C
cused of piratng the tires from 1873 automobiles.
Magistrate Edwin Lindell held them without bail.
We commend his action. Many also will agree with
Assistant District Attorney Barlow Burke, who, in
the same case, declared
In times like these, with the scarcity of rubber
and Government efforts to conserve it. these thefs
amount to treason"
In some States it still is hanging offense to
steal horse. Mild by comparison is five years in
prison, a So 900 fine.
But that is a language the tire thief will under
stand-if it means what it says,

Release Of Soldiers
For Harvesting Work
Refused by Stimson
Nye Contends Northwest
Faces Big Losses Unless
Formers Get Help
B. tt.t Associated Press.

B, TIE Associated Press.
Every interference with the rapid
and efficient preparation of the
armed forces or combat must be
halted at once, Secretary Stimson
said today in response to appeals for
furlough of military personnel dur
ing the harvest season.
Exceptions to this policy, he said
in a letter to Senator Nye, Repub-
lican OF North Dakota, are being
confined to cases of extreme emer-
gency, and excessive furloughs or
leaves would prejudice the proges-
slve growth of our military power"
If it should develop that the
American people are confronted with
food emergency which cannot be
met by the existing surpluses." Sec
retary Stimson added. "the use of
military personnel may be consid-
cred, but only if all sources of har-
vest labor have been exhausted and
the military personnel is employed
as units and not as individuals"
Many Furloughs Requested.
Secretary Stimson said his depart
ment was being "besieged" with re-
quests for release and furlough of
soldiers on various grounds, but that
American participation in the war
had brought responsibility de-
manding rigid adherence to the OBJ
jective of developing in the shortest
possible time highly trained mill
tary force.
1T Is our responsibility to win the
war, to win it as quickly as possible.
and to win 1t with the least possible
sacrifice OF American lives,' he
declared.
To accomplish this we must have
skilled, hardened soldiers who are
better prepared and more highly
proficient in the science of warfare
than our enemies. whose prepara-
ton for this conflict extends over a
period OF 10 years and longer"
Situation Called Serious.
Concluding that Secretary Stim-
son had missed the point of i'm
mediate seriousness" involved in the
Northwest harvest, Senator Nye
asked for conference with the
Secretary, declaring:
If surpluses and production were
matters that could be taken care of
at moments notice. I could better
appreciate the apparent willingness
at this time to overlook the grave
danger of loss and waste which
might prevail in the Northwest if
adequate and experienced labor
hands are not made available to the
farmers for use in this season."
Senator Nye said individuals who
were taken from the farms and who
were now in military training camps
and not in military units were
needed in the harvest fields. He
contended that reasonable fur
loughs could accomplish this"
