HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, JUNE 24

Adverse planetary influences are active today which should be em- nloved in routine matters. Mer- chants are under good aspects.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration the judgment may be unreliable and even in the family circle there may be an urge to practice deception. Women may be restive under war restrictions which compel too much attention to ration books and judicious shop hing. Girls are warned that TO- nance languishes under this rule of the stars. Men in the armed forces will be too busy to write let ters and those in defense areas Will be preoccupied with plenty of hard work, the seers declare.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The goad of war will open many new fields of business activity in the future. Inventions of supergenius will con- tribute novel comforts to postwar life while they improve the many luxuries of a prosperous people. There is a sign promising to in- vestors who desire to speculate on future enterprises. Today should be fortunate for distributors of merchandise but not so good for manufacturers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: There are signs that appear to warn that certain interned Japanese will pre- sent difficulties to the Government. The seers foresee dangers in herd ing together the loyal and dis loyal. the aliens and the natural ized. in concentration centers. It is remembered that many Ameri- can-b born Japanese have had to make tremendous sacrifices and have had to suffer with those who are actual enemies to the nation. Although they have some reason to be resentful because of condi- tions a few will react sympatheti- cany to the suggestion of enemies of the United States. b
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: Great increase of population is in- dicated for Canada after the war. Then much of the glory of Britain at the height of the Empires pros- perity will be reflected in the ex- pansion of the great dominion which will attract many diStin- guished personages. Close relations with the United States will be mu- tually beneficial to the two Allies who have fought shoulder to shoulder in the world conflict. Bene- fits may be expected for Canada this year
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune, but it will be wise tC guard against fraud Women should benefit in love as well as financial affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be thoughtful, generous and kindly. They should be stu dious and successful.

 Standard picnic food-ice cream, soda pop and hot dogs-were served at the close of the evening.
 There are a few minor casualties today, sprained ankles, sore arms, and scraped bunions, but the suf- ferers proclaim these to be worth while battle scars.

FDR AIDS HIS FOE

Representative Bill Lemke of North Dakota, one-time candidate Tor President, has been foe of Franklin Roosevelt from way back. He staged almost a religious cru sade against him on Father Cough lin's Union Party" ticket in 1886. And he has opposed him on scores of issues.
 But when Lemke called on the President recently for a l5-minute conference, the two erstwhile presi- dential foes chatted for AS minutes.
 Why, how are you, Bill?" the President exclaimed as the bald freckled-faced Dakotan walked in T often think about you and that '36 campaign You ran on a shoe string, but you polled a lot of votes"
 Lemke replied with smile that he didn't want to take up the Pres ident's time talking about old

times.
 T have some very pressing prob lems on my mind he said, ex- blaming that three important ir- rigation projects in his district were being held up because of a WIPE stop-order on steel and con- crete.
 Tt will be disastrous if we have another drought in my country" Lemke said, These irrigation pro- jects are highly essential to the war food program"
 Roosevelt agreed that the irriga- tion projects were needed, but asked Lemke If there was enough available labor to complete them. Lemke replied that there was plenty of seasonal farm labor, and soldiers furloughed for farm work, to do the job.
 You leave this to me, Bill de- clared the President. I'll take care of it."
 A few days later Lemke got a phone call from the secretary of General Pa" Watson, White House military aide, notifying him that a report on North Dakota irrigation projects" would soon be ready.
 These projects are in your dis trict, MT. Lemke," said the secre- tary, but to whom should I send the report?"
 Why, to me, of course" replied Lemke. Are you surprised that

CANADIAN "ABSENTEES"

Canada also has an absentee" problem, but some government of ficials in Ottawa are becoming a bit cynical about it.
 An epidemic of illness in Cana dian government offices reached such proportions that reporters were prompted to ask c. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Sup plies, if he thought government employees were being "overworked. .

MERRY-GO-ROUND

When Mrs. Roosevelt recently praised the Slovak League when it gave three airplanes to the Army, she probably did not know that the League is the one Slovak or ganlzation in the U.S.A. which has been most appeasement-minded, having urged this government to recognize the partition of Czecho- sloyakia :. Mexicans are so mad at our refusal to export certain goods to them that Eduardo Vil- lasenor, Director of the Bank of Mexico, suggested we establish a new alphabet agency-ORPA, or Office for the Rejection of Priority Applications.

It's Leading Indian Port

Chittagong is normally one of In
dia's leading ports. It's commercial
fame is not new for, in the 10th CEN
fury, the Portuguese thought so well
of it they called it Porto Grande.
Nature was generous in providing
the city's site on the deep Karna-
phuli river, IL miles from it's outlet
in the Bay of Bengal. The largest
ocean-going ships can safely proceed
up river nine miles. Cargoes are
handled between ship and shore by
modern cranes serving waterside
tracks of a rail terminal. Coal, ma
chinery, railway materials, mineral
oil and salt are brought for distribu-
ton to Indian and Burmese points.
The ships take away tea, jute, cot
ton, hides and wax. Passenger
steamer lines regularly served the
port and there is telegraph commu-
nication with all the principal towns
of India.

Adenoids Retard
School Children

A mother became greatly dis
tressed over the reports her son
brought home from school. Cues
tioning the boy closely and from
seeing the way he held a book or
paper when reading she suspected
that his eyesight was poor. An ex-
animation showed the boy to be
shortsighted and unable to see the
blackboard which accounted for
some Of his backwardness at school.
While the reports improved they
were still below what the mother
thought they should be, and noticing
that the boy did not obey her prompt
ly she suspected some hard of hear
ing. Examination showed the pres
sure of adenoids which were OBJ
structing to some extent the opening
of the eustachian tube which car
ries the air from the back of the
throat to the middle ear against
the eardrum. 1t is the pressure of
this air against the inner side of the

vibrate when sound strikes it.
The removal of the adenoids re-
stored hearing to normal and with
normal hearing and eyes corrected
the boys report became satisfac-
tory. 1t is known that there are
some cases of hard of hearing where
adenoios have thickened the tissues
about the openings of both eusta-
chan tubes, before the adenoids had
been removed. A method of improv.
ing the hearing of these cases is
reported by Drs. E. B. Emerson Jr.,
A. H. Dowdy and c. A. Heatly,
Rochester, N. Y, in Archives of Ear,
Nose and Throat, Chicago. The
method includes the use of simple
instruments and only Is mig. of ra-
dunn.
One hundred patients with a his
tory of deafness and eustachian tube
disturbance due to adenoids were
treated with excellent results; some
return of hearing or preserving the
present amount of hearing should be
considered good result especially
for patient in the teens. Any ex-
listing infection of nose and throat
should be removed.

AMERICA
IN ACTION
THE ARMORER

1t was Brig. Gen. Claire Chen
nault who scanned the bullet-scarred
planes of his Flying Tiger AVG
forces and broadcast the hurried
plea, Send me armorers." That
was all. Just send him armorers-
men who could put the bombs in
the racks, men who could fit the
hard-hitting fire in the deadly cali.
Der SOS, men who could make guns
speak so that the invader might be
silenced.
General Chennault's words are
typical of revision of r-attitude
which has placed a major emphasis
on flying fire-power. Time was when
Americas finest flight engineers de.
signed the worlds best motors, fit
ted them to the noses of the world S
fastest fuselages-and then threw a
few guns on just for kicks.
The current concept-a concept
which makes Lowry Fields nam
moth school Of armament a major
air forces factor-is in many ways
a complete reversal of former flight
engineering precepts. Today the
trend indicates an attempt to ascer.
tain the fre-poWer first-and then
throw the plane around the guns.
The Bell P-39 is a good example.
The "Airacobra" is equipped with
a 20-mm. cannon in it's nose and
six or more machine guns. The new
Republic PAT, reputed to be the
fastest ship in the world, has SOS
firing in salvo from the wings.
General Doolittle's North Ameri-
can BIS is supposed to be just a
medium bomber, but it has wide
cruising range at high speed, plus
a man-sized armament complement.
It carries 5000 pounds of bombs
and is defended by four SOS and
a single flexible" 80.
These are just few representa-
tive examples of what Americas
fathers of fire-power are turning out
these days. Thousands of armor-
ers are needed to care for the guns
and bombs, to maintain the costly
control equipment and to keep the
aircraft's fire-power in top fighting
shape.

Keeping Cows Appetite
Keen Helps Milk Yield

If healthy, we'll bred cows appe-
tite is kept keen, she should not only
give a lot of milk regularly this year,
but also the next year and the next
until she can be cata1ogued as a
longtime producer, according to E..
J. Perry of Rutgers university.
EVERY experienced dairyman
knows" he says, shat most of the
returns from cows first two pro-
ductive years 60 to pay the cost of
raising her. A stable full of long
timers means that the owner will
stay in the dairy business, and it
also means that he does not let his
cows go off feed very often.
Cows which go off feed don't
get that way from eating a lot of
roughage, but usually because they
have consumed too much grain,
especially of the heavy protein vari-
ETY.. There is much evidence, too,
that heavy granting may be a factor
in udder trouble. A wise dairyman
will watch each COW in the herd to
see that her appetite is always keen,
that she is never overfed.
The right way, the extension
dairyman says, is to feed each
animal an amount of grain accord
ing to her daily milk yield, and salts
fly her appetite by roughage. The
scales will tell whether varying the
grain allowance every 10 days or so
is worth while.

spider-web paintings-paintings
on real spider webs. Originated
by a famed Innsbruck family of
Tyrol (now Italy,, the secret of
this type of painting was lost when
last members of this family died.
Unlike the f1imsy cobweb of the
ordinary house spider, these spi-

and durable like tough canvas.
Usually small, 2 by inches, these
paintings have endured for 400
