s11NDAY. SEPTEMBER 12

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER l2
 This is not an important day in planetary direction, but benefic as pocts dominate. It is fortunate for elderly folk and especially for those who belong to tie clergy.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration women may be extremely Respondent, the stars seeming to accent nervousness. Fears concerning relatives in the armed forces may cast shadows over many homes not yet saddened by the losses of loved ones sacrificed in the service of the nation Churches will be we'll attended and the Scriptures will be studied with wide interest in Bible prophecies which now will be discovered to be amazingly exact in the light of cur rent world events. Late tranSla- tions of the Old Testament will be in demand and will bring comfort to persons previously neglectful of religious teachings.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Trade and commerce will be greatly stimulated by the results of the Summers magnificent offensives and our mer- chant marine will make new records Of accomplishment. Autumn ex- pansion needs in commercial cen- ters will reveal the lack of men and women qualified for high pressure work in offices and stores, but sol diers and sailors who have recover ed from wounds that prevent them from rejoining combat forces will | fill many vacancies. There is sign presaging gradual replacement of returning fighters in jobs they surrendered when they enlisted or were drafted.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Individuals who reflect the planetary influences responsible for war will cause much resentment by greed and selfishness 1 in their efforts to assure postwar advantages. In coming weeks the press will record unpleasant accusa- tions of waste of public funds, it is foretold. An adverse aspect to- day is read as indicating political dissensions and party disunion. The stars seem to forecast much prom thence for Wendell Willkie.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: According to foreign astrologers, heads of religious organizations will exercise power in plans for peace. The Pope who long has tried to prevent the spread of conflict, will be prominent when victory has been won by the United Nations and the treatment of defeated ene- mics is discussed, The Archbishop of Canterbury also will be a factor in world readjustments. The seers declare that it is not too early to hasten preparation for just punish ment and wise restrictions in appor- tioning future relations of victors and vanquished
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of surprises most of which should be pleasant It is not a lucky year for marriage
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have distinct talents that promise success in the world of art They will have many friends who should be chosen carefully

MERRY-GO-ROUND

There was very important hush hush discussion inside the Demo- cratic National Committee regard ing the recent meeting of Young Democratic leaders in Chicago. Real fact was that the President and Frank Walker didn't want the Young Dems to meet, felt that political meeting of this kind was not in keeping with the war, also that the Young Demos would be sure to run up against the unan- swered but all-important question: :

TIRE PLANT FOR RUSSIA

Few people are aware of the lact that one of our biggest tire plants with a capacity of 10000 tires day, has been literally lifted from its Henry Ford foundations ln Dear horn. Mich. and sent to the Sovlets. It is probably the greatest leno- 1ease operation on record The plan wss to have the Red Army ride to victory on tires made by U. 5. machinery.
 This operation was carried through despite the opposition of Rubber Administrator Big Bill Jeffers, who found after he first came to Wash ington that the deal already had heen made. He declared, however, that our own synthetic rubber pro gram would require all the tire manufacturing capacity the country has ever had-and more-and that a whole plant should not be carried off to another country.
 Iend-Lease argued that the U. 5. rubber shortage made the Foro plant idle, but Jeffers countereo that it would not be idle long, Ill view of the new production o1 synthetic rubber.
 Jeffers even carried the question directly to the President. But FDF told him that commitment hao been made, and a protocol treaty been drawn up with Russia by which the tire plant was promised m writing.
 So the Rubber Director shrugged his shoulders. He now learns that if required six months to dlsmantle the plant and ship it to seaboard. Ii was sent from Pacific Coast ports to yladiyostok, then across the Sl- berian wastes to Russia, where its location is a military secret. 50 far as can be leaned here, the fac- tory is not yet in operation.
 If the Russians can make 1t run if will be used to produce about m 900 heavy-duty military tires day The U. s. production of Zo'' ooo was in terms of passenger ca tires. .,
 Tn addition to the tire factory, VI have now shipped 100000 tires U Russia. and another 5oo,ooo ar being prepared for shipment.
 officials of the Rubber Admins trator's Office do not want to meas ure tires against human lives, or U suggest that our sacrifice of tire can be compared to Russia's heroi sacrifices on the battle front. Du

gone ahead, dogsedly devoting his entire
energies to make a better Detroit.
4 VERY important detail for the voters
~ to remember is that he has behaved
precisely as he said he would when he first
ran for the job in 1889 He said at that time,
with complete candor, that he would promise
no miracles. He said he felt he had the
equipment and experience necessary to be
good mayor for all the citizens of Detroit.
The Detroit Times believes he has been
that. We think the most convincing proof
Of that is his record.
Several aggressive candidates are entered
against him in the primary election, next
Tuesday. They would tear his record to
shreds if they could. Not one of them, how
ever, has attacked him on specific matters
of policy or administration.
Detroit voters will do well to bear these
facts in mind when they go to the polls, next
Tuesday.
They will be wise in this critical war
period to retain as their mayor the honest
and conscientious man who has been their
accomplishing servant, these last four tough
years.

Competition Spur
Was Threatened

Such deadly thinking that gov
eminent can do everything better
than the citizens pervaded the re-
cent effort to force manufacturers
of foodStuffS and other products to
use uniform bureaucratic ABC
grade labelling.
This effort was defeated in
Congress. which, in the Taft
amendment to the Price Control
Act. forbade the OPA from de-
handing bureaucratic labelling
If this innovation had been
adopted. there would have resulted
an unprOgTcSSivct trend back to the
minimum standards arbitrarily
and clumsily set up by the govern
ment.
Instead of individual striving for
more and better goods, " the gov
eminent stan dard of good
enough would have prevailed.
Such bureaucratic labelling, eSpe-
cially if linked with flat selling
price of goods. would have de
prlNed the American system of the
untrammeled spur of competition.

The American economic SyS-

This system is precious 10 typi-

it has provided the passports

This has been accomplished

The Mayors Record

IT HIS newspaper believes Mayor Edward
J. Jeffries Jr. should be reelected.
He has been mayor of Detroit for four
extremely trying years. Over that period,
he has administered city affairs courageousIy
and unswervingly in the interests of ALL
the people, according to his best judgment.
Few mayors have taken office under more
forbidding circumstances than those con-
fronting Jeffries in January, 1910. The police
department scandal was just about to break.
Local industry was in the throes Of shifting
from normal to wartime production. En-
ployment was unstable because Of this and
new people were fockng here by thousands
Local housing was already inadequate
So was public transportation Public works
had been sadly neglected because of the recent
depression. In a physical way the city was
downright unkempt and it was impossible TO
improve conditions appreciably because so
much of the city income had to be earmarked
for bond redemption.
Despite these handicaps Mayor Jeffres
never permitted himself to be discouraged.
Harassed almost constantly by minority
groups and special privilege clques he has

I T IS true that some people speak lightly
1 of the Bible, but very few THINK
lightly of it.
The very few who are skeptical about it
and disparage IT are exceedingly foolish and
utterly stupid
For most people have had Bible instruc-
ton at some time in their lives and know
how morally sound and spiritually good il is.
Most people know how much the Bible
has meant to the really great and truly good
men and women of many nations, and par
ticularly Of our nation.
Most people, and especially most Ameri-
cans, know how great was the faith the
founders Of our country had in the Bible and
with what sincerity and diligence they con-
suited il for inspiration and direction in their
personal lives and in the pattern of govern
ment they designed for our welfare and
happiness.
When we turn to the Bible now as
nearly all of us do at least occasionally and
as all of us should do constantly. we are con-
sulting the infallible and inexhaustible source
Of high ideals and the urge and courage 10
live up to them which intelligent and under
standing men and women have ALWAYS
consulted for that purpose.
D IBLE WEEK is one Of the very best Of all
ID our American observances, and the Lay
mems National Committee is commended for
promoting il.

respect
II makes us more patriotic. and more
useful. 20 our country and more true 10 its
principles and institutions and more worthy
Of it's blessings
II makes us better PEOPLE in all

proposed H. and be instructed and guided

National bible Week

NATIONAL BIBLE WEEK. having for its
' purpose the promotion of greater public
interest in religion will be observed the week
of Oct. 11-17 under the auspices of group
Of earnest and patriotic men and women
known as the Laymens National Committee,
This praiseworthy and wholesome rclgi-
Gus enterprise is now in its fourth year Of
activity.
It has succeeded in developing national
observance of Bible Week
The governors of many states issue
proclamations calling attention to it.
The President Of the United States Is
expected 20 participate in il.
Thousands Of people give their time and
energies 10 II as well as money, and millions
Of people derive beneficial instruction and
great inspiration from it.
Thus Bible Week is very successful and
is very popular and is very GOOD for the
country
II SHOULD be established by an act Of
Congress which, as a matter OF fact is one
Of the aims Of the Laymens National
Committee
Indeed all Of the aims Of the committee
ere admirable and should be fulfilled.
IT Is good thing 70 interest people in the
1 Bible and grand thing that so many ARE
interested.
The Bible is truly wonderful book.
It is beautiful beyond anything else in
the varied and vast literature Of the world.
II is inspiring and comforting.
Il Is easily read and understood
And appreciation Of it gains with every
reading n is smallest passage
Like all good things however, the Bible
is often neglected-too often BY those who
