HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compe"
Thursday, February IL

/ Benefic aspects rule strongly to-
day which should be fortunate for
lour land forces. Women are under
q lucky sign. es
HEART AND HOME: Girls may
count this promising date for
love affairs. Fiances may return
from overseas and new friends
will prove interesting. The stars en-
courage constructive activities; we-
men in industry should benefit. As
youths are indicted into the armed
forces, so school girls will be drafted
into war work Educators will be
deeply concerned by empty class
rooms and parents will regret the
break in scholastic development
which their sons and daughters
must sustain. ~
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Domestic
firms of many sorts will profit as
prewar importations from $ Europe
and Asia become depleted. o Id
handicrafts will be transplanted to
American soil and will benefit UNI
| der Yankee influence. Much money
in circulation will encourage retail
merchants to take on novel stocks,
the seers predict, as they vision
amazing enterprise under war ham
dicaps & I.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Housing and
heating will be matters of special
concern as industrial needs require
additions to the army of workers
in war plants. Severe weather in
the next few weeks may bring
about emergency measures of re-
lief. Colds will take peculiar forms
and should be carefully treated
from first symptoms. the seers de-
clare, for the stars reveal evil por-
tents of epidemics, which will place
added strain on reduced numbers of
physicians and nurses in civilian
service
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS:
Domination in the air by the Uni
ted Nations will be more and more
apparent after this month. Such
bombers and other aircraft as have
never appeared will amaze the Axis
forces who inevitably will be over
whelmed, according to the stars
which presage for this nation the
most marvellous mechanical achieve
ments in all history. Yankee ipven-
tions will astonish the world as
secret weapons are added to those
that already have proved most ef-
fectiye. With the coming Of spring
unremitting air attacks will be pos
sible over vast areas of enemy ter
ritory, it is forecast.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of courageous
advancement in important activi-
ties. Men in the Service should be
fortunate.
Children born on this day pro-
badly will have ups and downs
through their lives, but they should
win outstanding success Courage
and ambition will be outstanding
traits.

DYNAMO BARUcTs BATTERY

Silver-crested 72-year-old Bernie
Baruch. who has had as much to
do with speeding up the war as
anyone in Washington, recently
felt the personal effect OF war
regulations. .e,.
Baruch is forced to wear an ear
phone because of a hearing diff
Guilty The other day, while con-
ferring with Ferd Eberstadt, vice
chairman of the WPB, Baruch
failed to- catch something Eber-
stadt said He picked up a note
pad on the WPB officials desk
and asked him to write it down.
Eberstadt jotted on the pad,
Whats the. difficulty
The. battery in my hearing aid
haAsorle dead Baruch said, land
Ishavent4 been able to buy any,
There's shortage, you know. The
Army has been using great num-
bers of batteries"
Eberstadt is close friend and
protege of Baruch, so he swung
into action. He called in an assis-.
tant and instructed him to find
a battery, IF you have to comb
every radio and electric appliance
store in Washington. Then, with
a grin, Eberstadt told the finan-
cier: 2.if.5
We can't let you go without q
battery, Bernie. Your hearing is
essential to the war effort"
About an hour later, after Ba-
ruch and .Eberstadt had lunched,
the assistant returned with several
batteries Baruch installed one in
his ear set and the two men re-
sumed their conference
NOTE: Baruch spends about $50
900 annually out Of his own pocket
for research and hiring experts
TO aid the government. Since the
war broke he has spent most Of
his time in Washington patiently,
persistently prodding the war eff
fort.

chance of invading the continent.
They are now in a better position
TO use their huge army IN England,
and some Britishers feel it would
be wise to strike now rather than
wait until a huge American army
with it's supplies can cross sub
marine infested ocean. $50
Americans strategists on t h G
other hand, have leaned toward the
slower, longer way around the
Mediterranean, through North At
RIGA and up the Balkans
This was the big problem facing
Churchill and Roosevelt. Many OBJ
servers believe that Rommel, and
the Nazi army now blocking the
Allies in Tunisfa, hold the key to
that decision.

CHIEFS STUDY
Use OF LABOR
DRAFT SYSTEM
BY FRED MULLEN

WASHINGTON, July 3 CUP =
Faced with a need to recruit $780,
900 men and women for essential
industries in the next II months.
the administration today was said
to look more favorably upon a ma
tional service act which would per-
NIT labor drafts.
Responsible officials said espouse-
ment of the Wadsworth-Austin bill
to permit drafting of men and wom-
en- for war work by President
Roosevelt was likely to come when
congress returns from its summer
recess.
War manpower commission Of
ficials, estimating that 100000
persons must take or be shifted tc
war Jobs bv July 1914. said that the
problem of recruiting "is becoming
increasingly difficult now that the
more readily available persons have
already been absorbed.
War Manpower Chief Paul V.
McNutt, who believes that a labor
draft act is inevitable" has been
pleading for time in which to ex-
haust all voluntary measures. He
believes that the passage OF leglsla-
ton should be delayed until the
voluntary program fails.
Rep. James w. Wadsworth, r., N.
Y, co-author of the proposed labor
draft act, conferred recently with
Mr.. Roosevelt concerning the bill.
From Wadsworth and from sources
close to Mr.. Roosevelt came reports
that the President was giving con-
siderable attention to manpoWer
needs and programs designed to
solve them, and more particularly TO
a national service act.
One administration official said
that it had been decided to start
pressing for passage of labor draft
act as soon as the congress recess
ends.
The 100000 needed workers
VINO officials said, must be OBJ
tanned by encouraging the transfer
of 100000 persons from the nom
essential activities to the essential
industries. The additional 100000
must come from the pool Of men
and women not now in the labor
force. The real problem lies in
persuading the larger number tc
leave their less essential jobs for
war work.
