HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
Friday, February 26

Benefic aspects rule this day which should be fortunate foI bankers and financiers The launch ing of some novel Government pol icy will be profitable.
 HEART AND HOME: Routine tasks will be best for women today which is not promising for those who seek employment. Housekeep- CTS will face more and more per plexities concerning daily menus because rationing will now be ex- tensive and imitation will be ap- parent as the cost of living scars. As Congress discusses protests from all parts of the country regarding lack of oil and scarcity of fuel, un- rest and discontent extend among persons usually well-intentioned. True patriotism, however, will be evident among the great majority who will cheerfully accept many discomforts
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although wage earners in all war industries buy bonds and stamps regularly they will have plenty of surplus with which to shop extravagantly. Merchants who profited in the hol- iday season when jewellers, fur riers and other dealers in luxuries sold large stocks of merchandise will continue to be patronized, de- spite protests from Government sources. The stars indicate that the American habit of enjoying plenty will be hard to overcome. Spring trade should be brisk, astrologers forecast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Home de- fense organizations in all parts of the United States will prove the real patriotic spirit of Americans. Volunteers now will become experts after many months of unselfish ser vice, but astrologers warn that dan ger lies in the least relaxation of vigilance. The stars indicate that within the nation treacherous men and women are at work per- sistently. Repeatedly evil portents have been discerned by seers who foretell major peril
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR IS: Destructive forces will be widespread among the peoples enslaved by Hitler. The stars encourage revol- utionary ideas and the desire for 1 freedom. News of victories by the United Nations will have a phychol- I ogical effect on those who desire to join the winning side of the world conflict. Suppression of radios and newspapers will fail to keep Nazi victims in ignorance of the course of the World War. Great events will mark the coming month Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Both men and women should benefit in unexpected ways.

 bably will be exceptionally lucky

THE SENATOR FROM NEW
 MEXICO

When Vice President Guani of Uruguay was in Washington he was entertained at luncheon by the Vice President of the United States.
 After luncheon, Vice President Guani spoke eloquently, paying tribute to the Good Neighbor pol icy, and for the benefit of the Americans present his speech was translated from Spanish into Eng fish by Senator Chavez of New Mexico. Senator Chavez has many Spanish among his con- stituents and brides himself on his knowledge of Spanish.
 After Guani finished, Senator Barkley of Kentucky, majority leader, rose to reply. He spoke elo- quently in English. And Senator Chavez rose to translate into Span ish for the benefit of the Uruguay an Vice President.
 But after few sentences, Vice President Guani interrupted.

 INVESTIGATING MARTIN DIES
 Two decisions were made at the first closed door meeting of the House Appropriations sub Commit tee named to review Dies Commit tee charges of n-Americanism against certain government em- ployees.
 The sub b-committee, headed by fair-minded Representative John H. Kerr of North Carolina, decided first to hear. only the individuals against whom the charges have been made No character witnesses will be permitted to testify, except in unusual cases.
 Second, the committee decided to throw out any cases in which there is the slightest doubt about ac- cused employees loyalty to the United States The fact that an employee has been member or has attended meetings of a so- called Communist front" group won't be considered sufficient evil dence to oust him from his job, in the eyes of the reviewing sub committee.

He was graduated from Boot

HERALD EDITOR
SETS EXAMPLE

(KNS) The Boston Heral -,

For many years he has been

htical news under the heading
Local Politics" for the Su-.
day Herald. He knows politics
from every angle. For more
than twenty years Bill" Null
Inns has been at the State
House and merit to the lage
Dick" Howard, he is undoubt-
edly in that period better
known than any other news
reporter.
AS the editor of the Boston
Herald he is a square shooter;
and race, color or creed makes
no difference to him.
That is why in the Herald Of
Sunday, June 6, it was no sur
prise to see a full page story,
with pictures of the Ruggles st
UsO Club, which is frequent9d
by many colored servicemen.
In addition to this on an
other page was a cut of a
colored private Of the United
States Marine Corps. And fin
ally there was on a third page
a picture of the Medford High
School cadet awards showing
colored Sergeant CORTLAND
Digger as winner of the first
prize. Incidentally Sgt, Dug
ger is the younger son of the
late 1t. Col. Digger and Mrs.

When Men Against the Sea
was published several years ago,
the public marveled that Captain
Bhgh and his men. cast adrift
from the Bounty, could survive in
an open boat for more than 40
days.
That men could eat raw fish
and birds and live on sip Of
water a day seemed incredible.
World War II, however, has
made a commonplace Of such
heroic tales Of mans fortitude and
stubborn endurance.
