HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
Sunday. February 81

| OuIiudy, Tcbl udl y 81
Benefic aspects rule through this
day which should be favorable to
heads of families who will think
constructively and thus promote
domestic harmony.
HEART AND HOME: Communi-
ty cooperation which has proved so
effective now will extend to many
neighborly acts. Since the sharing
of automobiles has worked out sat-
isfactorily there may be communal
dining rooms where several FAM
| lilies share expenses to reduce the
cost of living. Thus women who are
employed will be relieved of pre-
pairing meals and well-balanced
menus can be provided. Nursery
schools already have been oper-
ated successfully and the trend will
be more and more toward collective
housekeeping, the seers prophesy.
The home, however, should be kept
with the utmost privacy.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In labor
atorieS and factories such marvel
Gus progress is being made that
when the war ends miracles will
seem to have been performed. New
ideas in hotels will be most for
tunate. Air travel will be common
in private planes and electrical
magic will provide conveniences as
unusual as the telephone and ra-
dio were in past generations. Again
Americans will indulge in their.
desire to travel and homes in auto-jl
mobiles that are great improve
ments on trailers will be in demand
| NATIONAL ISSUES: Uranus I'm
Gemini until 1949 will cause radi-
cal changes in communication and
transportation. Telepathy will be
understood and utilized. Methods
Of education will change, because
the children born under Aquarium
influences will be more brilliant
than their parents. Homes will be-
charming in artistic simplicity
which assures light color, airiness.
Extension of sensory perception
will be so common that many will
perceive what is hidden now when
we can only see, hear, smell taste
and touch
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Russia comes under planetary
sway which may cause Stain to be
more inclined toward drastic de-
cisions and even pungent comments
as a partner of the United Nations.
Weather conditions will add to war
difficulties at a time when his
courageous fighters are weary with
terrible conflict. Increased aid is
foretold as imperative before
Spring. Food supplies from this
country will be OF amazing help in
a critical time when Illness is pre-
valeft.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year in which
delay and Illustration will test cour-
age but good luck will come in un-
usual ways.
Children born on this day will
probably be highly intelligent and
exceedingly self-respecting. They
will be fond of home and will have
many friends, because of their keen
perception and profound under
standing.

TENNESSEE MoUNTAINEER

Secretary Hull. who bitterly. re-
sents criticism of his cooperation
with North African Vichyites, has
held some bare knuckled press con-
ferences recently. In one of them
he was particularly resentful of
Isidor F. Stone, correspondent OF
Marshall Fields newspaper PM.
One of Hulls aides had tipped
him off that Stones original name
was "Feinstein,' and that he had
adopted Stone as his pen name
tHe is listed in Who's Who as 1.
r. Stone, with "Isidor Feinsteins
in parenthesesl . So when Stone
asked Hull question regarding
North Africa, the Secretary of State
fired back: ~ ,.ssf.

which Stone said Would you

FLAG ETIQUETTE

DO you know how to attach q
flag correctly to its staff?
If you don't, Mrs. w. A. Tondro
and Mrs. M NJ. Dizney can tell you
after spending hours Saturday af-
ternoon in trying to find the desired
information.
st. Paul'S church had a new flag
which was to be blessed on Sunday
and to Mrs. Dlzney and MS. Ton
dro fell TIE job Of attaching the
flag to the pole. Tho variety OF
loops, cords, etc. was bcWildering
and the searched for directions
but could find none. Thev did the
best they could, got the flag firm
ly attached but they knew they
were still not right so they Sot out
to find the proper method. Every
one who might know appeared to
be gone flags that they could find,
were obviously hung from the staff
incorrectly as extra loops and cords
were plain to be seen. They asked
every serviceman they met. from
priVateS to officers. but no one
knew. FinallY Mrs. Dizney thought
of Dorman Stewart in Imperial, who
told them in about three short SEN
tences, and in no time at all, st.
Pauls flag was properly attached to
its pole. And like all things, when
it's done correctly said the two, it S
really very simple.
