 If the Senate acts to define the kind of foreign policy which it believes will best serve this nation and promote world peace, the isolationists will have a harder task, after the shooting dies down, to poke Uncle Sams head in the sand while aggressor nations creep up to kick him in the pants.

All lovers of freedom will hail the decision of Attorney General Riddle to drop all charges against the l2 French sailors held for jumping ships con- trolled by General Giraud.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not conspep
FRIDAY, MAY 21

l Apain adverse planetary aspects dominate. Mars is in a position read as indicating fierce battles.
 HEART AND HOME: Routine in the widening circle of wartime rationing now will be accepted with the zeal that promises much aid for hardworking men and women engaged in operating the necessary Government machinery. At last the majority of our one hundred thirty
 million inhabitants will compre bend the meaning of the war, it is forecast, for there are signs of com ing severe tests to patriotic re- sourcefulnesS. Under this config- uration the nation will be keenly conscious of its task in making vic tory of the United Nations certain.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Under the quickening influences of war, stag nant minds will awake to superb possibilities. In business and the professions marvellous achievements may be expected. the seers an nounce, and the new age will bring undreamed of comforts, opportuni- ties and successes. Merchants and manufacturers will cooperate in ways most favorable to consumers. The profit system will be changed for the benefit of the public and in a period following the abolition of poverty prosperity will be con- tinuouS.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: In the postwar period of human better ment. reform in political systems will be of first concern, the stars indicate Men and women will be trained to conduct the business of the nation which will demand hon. est unSelfish, expert service in place of venal, haphazard, privil- eged muddling by persons with pulls" of various sorts. Again the seers advise that we sweep our own doorsteps. While we are fight ing for liberty and justice in all parts of the Earth we ignore the evildoers in the vast American un- derworld, they remind us.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: According to certain readings of the stars, Hitler will be defeated long before we gain victory in the Pacific. The Fuehrer is under such evil portents for coming months that he may be beaten by the end of this year, or his life may end In Europe the stars are helpful to re- bellion and revolution among the people of occupied countries where the United Nations may expect more uprisingS that hasten success for the Allies On the other hand Japan has the prognostication of surprising endurance and resource fitness which will retard defeat in the boundless areas of the island Sprinkled Pacific. There is a warn ing in the aspects that seems to presage for the United States the brunt of this Asiatic conflict, even after armed forces are released else where
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune. Impulsive decisions, es- pecially in love affairs, should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be affectionate and gen. erally emotional. They may be high tempered. Pleasant lives are indicated.

~TRANGE indeed are many
of the things that people re-
- tain as keepsakes, to remind
them Of pleasant event, a
charming person, or something
particularly significant in their
lives.
Such a memento is now in the
possession of Ensign William w.
Carly, of Wilmington, Delaware.
He wrote home recently and told
how he got the surprise Of his
life recently as he stood on the
dock at a French Moroccan port
as the transport ship TO which
he was attached unloaded sol
diers and equipment in North
Africa.
An old native in a turban and
long, white drape approached the
navy man, muttering smokes, "
cigarettes" as he fumbled deep
among the folds of his cloak for
some coins to trade for that lux
ury-American cigarettes. En-
sign Carly agreed TO the sale,
and received a number of mixed
coins. Later, when sorting them
over, he found a small one con-
tanning familiar inscription
with a "W" cut in the center.
1t was n bus token of the Della
ware Coach Company from his
home city.
Samples Of hair are. Of course,
by far the most common per.
sonal mementoes. But leaden
bullets taken from the bodies OF
soldiers and civilians have also,
on occasion, been converted into
scarf pins as souvenirs, and one
of these is owned by George
Toomey a ranchcr living near
Amarillo, Texas, who was shot
one night by a prowlcr. The
slug lodged in Toomeys thigh
and when it was removed by the
doctor the rancher had it
mounted into a tie piece.
Frank Palmer of Los Angeles,
California, has an odd memento
in the form of a wooden check
left to him by his grandfather.
This promise to pay is a relic
of early banking days in Cali
furnia.
According TO Frank Palmer,
his grandsire, Joseph G. Palmer,
was a pioneer and at one time
"a banker and politician in the
early days Of the West Coast.
His bank did ain immense bust
ness, and its influence was felt
throughout the state. He always
showed d readiness TO adopt orig
NAL methods in an emergency,
particularly in the case Of a de-
posltor who had called TO draw

longer made, and with the meat
scarcity being what 1t is, very
little of that is finally reaching
Fido's platter However, Amer
ica's dog food manufacturers
have developed special substi-
tutes, ranging from dehydrated
food TO special biscuits. So al
though the dogs are undergoing
diet changes, they are still be-
ing eXcellently fed.
To allay fears of pet owners,
the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals
pointed out how by the use
of these foods, vegetables and
cereals, a dog can be kept up to
par.
Like everything and every
body, the canine world is being
affected by the war. II shouldn't
be happening to a dog.
But it is.

Sentimental People Save

out a large sum of money
$4,000 to be exact-from the
bank. Palmer's consent was
necessary. but he had been called
away to attend to some business
at a lumberyard a mile or two
away.
To this yard the depositor hur-
ried and made known his wants
and the necessity of having them
attended to at once, for it was
near closing time. Palmer could
find no ink, pen, pencil or paper.
But without a moments hesita-
ton he picked up clean pine
shingle, borrowed a piece Of red
chalk from the foreman of the
yard, and with it wrote a check
on the board in. large and distinct
letters for $4,000. The single
was honored by the teller when
presented for all the money the
depositor had in the bank and
it proved a fine advertisement
for Palmer.
In these times Of food ration.
ing there is no question about
flour being a vital necessity to
man, but 100000 for one sack
does seem a bit high even in abb
normal times. However, that is
what a bag once brought, and no
one had been manipulating the
wheat market either, while the
bag itself was long a souvenir,
passing from hand to hand.
Back in April, 1854. Ralph G.
Gridley Of Austin. Nevada, made
a bet with a friend on a local
election, the loser TO carry bag
Of flour on his shoulder for a
specified distance. Gridley lost,
and paid off by toting the sack
of flour. ornamented with ribbons
and flags. while a band followed
playing John Browns Body" for
Gudloy was a Democrat.
A huge crowd gathered and,
at the end of the journey, Grid
ley proposed that the flour be
turned TO account, for the gen
eral civic good and insisted that
the whole bag be put up at auc-
ton with the understanding that
the buyer return it TO be sold
again. Gridley himself was the
first purchaser, at $500, and
after that it was sold again and
again.
From this beginning there de-
veloped a Kind OF craze for buy
ing the sack of flour and as soon
as the news spread, Gridley went
about from town to town selling
it, until he had raised more than
5000, 900 The Nevada man kept
the sack itself as long as he
lived and his family preserved
1t for years after his death.

Upper Egypt so that his successor
might in time TO come overrun Lower
Egypt and finally bring about the

Students Of these relics suggest that
the Importance of their discovery lies
not merely in the fact that when the
Pharaoh died his wives died with him,
but that this custom shows the faith Of
the Egyptians that the Pharaoh did
not cease to exist, but lived on in the
tomb, and that he should have the
company of his wives there.
The belief Of the time was that the
ghosts Of these dead could pass from
