Notes Of a City Slicker:
Margaret White, just back
from taking pictures of world
famous statesmen, was showing her
long line of short-snorters Sew
eral were autographed by Eisenhow-
er, Marshall, Churchill and others,
but the one that held the eye was a
bill inscribed, she said, by people
with whom she had been torpedoed
"Huh?" you huh.
"Oh," says Margaret, you'd be
surprised at the people you meet
nowadays, who have been tor
pedoed!"

British women returning to Eng
land from the Colonies All were
saved by British warships.
The 200 women salvaged nothing
but their ipsticks!

FIRST APPLICATION

Northwest Arlines has applied to the Civil Aero
nautics Board for the first postwar air route to
Tokyo via Alaska and the Aleutians The company
claims it has set the pace for postwar planning in
the air transportation industry.
Many persons would be surprised if it could be
told just how close to Tokyo another arline's planes
are flying today in the interest of the effort.
These the planes of the only major airline that
has provided and pioneered good service to Alaska
Pan American Anyways
If such route to the Orient is contemplated for
after the war it certain that the route could support
no more than company.
Northwest Arlines may have set the pace in talk
ing about postwar nyng-but Pan American has set

Ludwig pointed out that German
militarism always had come from
Prussia, while Germany's' culture
had come from the South and
West. Therefore he proposed split
ting Germany up into two states:
Cd Prussia, small and isolated; and
t2) Bavaria, Saxony, and the
smaller Catholic German states
which are not militaristic and which
would be joined with Austria.
This would put the Catholics in
one country and the Lutheran Plus-

Plane De -Icing
New York Times

New York Times
OF interest both from the point OF view OF the
war effort and of postwar civilian flying is the an
nouncement Of method OF preventing ice forma-
ton on arpnaes developed by the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics in collaboration with the
engineers of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corpora
ton This method carries the hot air OF the engine
exhaust to the inside of the wing and tail surfaces,
SO that icing is prevented when the plane is
standing on the ground with engines running. The
new system has been installed on the Catalina PBY-5
longrange patrol bomber and soon will be included in
the Libertor bomber well as in the Coronado and
other naval patrol types
The battle against icing has been long one.
The condition occurs under certain combinations of
humidity and temperature at many attitudes and is
particularly troublesome at high altitude, where much
of the present combat flying must be done and where
many of the airlners of tomorrow's transportation
will operate Dangers of icing lie not much in the
weight of ice accommodating on the plane as in the
reformation of the arfo represented by either wings
or tail With the high speed of todays aircraft even
the slightest interference with the surface shape and
smoothness of the airfoil means trouble that may
range all the way from Slight loss of efficiency to
extreme hazard The system, which aims to pre-
vent any accumulation whatever rather than to break
off ice after has accumulated deserves exhaustive
trial and promises another major step toward safety
in the air.

mended, "but take away their wtap-

new 0pA ORDER
CHANGES FISH
REGULATIONS

A modification of MPR Alb, which
establishes maximum prices for fish
in Alaska, is seen in an amendment
to the regulation, effective now,
changing its phraseology in such
manner as to include all fish weigh
ing less than IA pounds in the
classification of small" fish. The
original regulation classified as
small, all fish between 7 and IA
pounds. This is according to an
amendment made today by the AL
aska Office of Price Administra-
ton.
The net result of the amendment,
it is pointed out, will be to establish
ceiling prices on fish weighing six
pounds, which is the legal weight
in Alaska, established by the Fish
and Wildlife Service
Buyers have been rejecting six
pound fish under the erroneous be-
lief that it was contrary to law to
purchase them. The amendment
simply clarifies that situation.

ANOTHER STRIKE

Isolated strikes which damage the war effort and
responsible for burdening all labor under the
Anti-Strike Law still popping up to label good
union men with further black eyes
Latest example is that of the employees Of Brew
Aeronautica Corporations plant in Pennsylvania
where workers voted strike after the arrest of four
guards who violated their oaths by refusing to obey
orders. The guards, apparently, similar to
Aaska's Territorial Guards
Labor has made good record in the war effort
and is continuing to make good record but the more
the examples of unpatrotic work stoppages the more
restrictions The Government and the great mass Of
the American people interested mainly in winning
the at present and if certain labor unions put
their selfish interests above this they will suffer
On the good side of the record, American labor,
which has sent some 100000 members to take their
places among the armed services has already caught
seven-year head start. From the soldiers on
the production line must gain the overwhelming
superiority that will bring victory.
Among the records which have been chalked up
by our working the following stand out:
More than billion dollars worth of machinery
and equipment produced by pattern Makers tool and
die makers moders, metal polshers, machnsts, cleo
trical workers and other tradesmen before the first

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, AUGUST 81

tNJIJA AO1OO1 -
Benefic aspects rule today which
should be fortunate for the Army
and Navy. Extremes in coming
events are Indicated Dangers will
precede victories.
HEART AND HOME: Women
should find this a fortunate day
for household tasks, AS war con-
tinues home becomes more precious
than ever and increased interest in
all that pertains to it is forecast.
Aged persons are under a kindly
sway. Their counsel should be
sought and their fortitude emulated
for they who carry the burden of
many years are likely to obtain wis
dom New honors for the Ameri-
can girls in uniform are presaged
Among them will rise leaders who
will render important service as
civic leaders in reconstruction days.
Heroic acts will give Wacs ana
Waves permanent places in the
Army and Navy departments.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Uncover
ing of contracts made with the
Government at the beginning OF
the war will show sharp practices
on the part of agents for merchants
and manufacturers but while there
will appear much greed for large
profits on the nations emergency
needs, the stars seem to presage
few postwar scandals. Degrees of
patriotism, however, will prove to
be varied to such an extent that
there is little of the color of sacri-
flee on many corporation docu-
mentS.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Fifth col
umn efforts to discredit Russia will
be increased at this time when en-
phasis is put upon communism as
an obstacle to future partnership
with the heroic nation which has
protected this country from Nazi
attack and postponed attempts to
realize Hitler's threats. Astrologers
forecast a postwar union of democ-
racies for the permanence of world
peace and then Russia is to become
one of this nations best friends,
economically and politically.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S:
Gathering might of the United
Nations will manifest in all parts
of the world as. the Axis is COM
PEELED to try desperate measures OF
defense. Astrologers predict that
this month Japan will be as much
alarmed as Germany has been since
/ midsummer. Today should mark
for the Allies victory based on
/ supreme daring in which success
was won against great odds. Cum
ming and treachery will distinguish
Axis defense methods.
| Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of many changes in the
coming year. Men may make long
voyages and may serve in distant
battles. Women will find happiness
1 in young folk
Children born on this day prob
ably will have exceptionally intellec-
tual possibilities. They will be
idealists with the power to make
their dreams come true. Popular
ity and success are. indicated.

Gifts for
Friends in
The Hospital
By ELEANOR ROSS

WHAT GIFT TO bring or send
a hoSpitalized friend is a problem
that arises with most Of us once
in a while. Some Just go con-
vcntional and send flowers, while
others spend hours and energy
in the effort TO find something
that seems different from either
flowers or other ordinary hos
pital gifts.
The seeker for the unusual
generally comes through with a
gift that is entirely out OF place
or one that cannot be used SO
il is best TO stick TO variations
on the useful theme, such as
some really fine soap.
