SHENANIGANS

Chinese Ambassador Hu Shih called on the President the other day, and took time out from war problems to say:
 MT. President, I am a great admirer of your radio talks. Your delivery is superb, but even more remarkable is your choice of lang dage." Roosevelt thanked the Am bassador for the compliment, but Hu Shin had more to say Tt is your mastery of simple language, which I most admire-your scorn of polysyllables and academ c phrases.
 But" continued Hu Shih, there was one word in a recent broad cast which couldn't understand. It was four-syllable word, and you seldom use ur-syllable words. ?
 What word was that?' asked the President.
 "Shenanigans,' said the Ambas- sador.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compeW
TUESDAY, APRIL IA

This is not an important day in planetary direction Adverse in- fluences may affect shipping and aviator.
 HEART AND HOME: This nor ! ming is most favorable for women who should be lucky in shopping and in providing for the welfare of the home. Gardening will take on a new importance as vegetables are planted in place of flowers. The stars. encourage heroism among the mothers of the land who will dis play great fortitude in accepting the sorrows and sacrifices that war entails. In the numerous branches of national service the work near est at hand should not be ignored. Young girls may crave adventure but humble tasks may be most i'm portant to the community in which they dwell
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Mining is to engage extraordinary attention through the coming summer when the need of metals of all sorts will be spur to prospectors and cp- orators of smelters. Low grade ores and dumps of refuse from former high grade ores will be carefully converted to war uses. New oil wells will be opened in the inter- for of the country and large sup plies of the precious black gold will be obtained American enter prise will expand in all directions that assure aid in the attainment of victory.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Registra- ton and finger printing for both men and women will be advo- cated as the year advances. As the real value of every citizen is realized, women will be required to give their services in ways that the government finds most effective In an all-out war where women and children are exposed to bombings the women must use their strength and their ability wherever their work is most likely to register. Nurses now must be trained in great numbers, the seers declare.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Alaska is to focus attention through the summer when there may be an act of aggression of extreme danger. Close cooperation between Canada and the United States in protecting this northern point is imperative, astrologers decare More facilities for airplane operations are to be provided if the best re- suits can be assured in transpor- tation and potection. Again an act of surprise is prognosticated as a Japanese coup.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of adventures and extraordinary experiences. Suc- cess will be enjoyed if intuition guides
 Children born on this day may be endowed with extraordinary tal- ents, especially for mathematics and science. Brilliant army officers belong to this sign.
