Commander Gushing, whom Ad.
miral Farragut called 1.-The hero OF
the Civil War;" died in 1874 at the
age of 80.
Commander Gushing was the first
naval officer to use a semi.moving
torpedo. 1t was the employment Of
this weapon which. on October 81,
1864, resulted in his greatest ex.
plot - the sinking at Plymouth,
N. c., Of the iron-clad Confederate
ram, the Albemarle, which had put
seven Union ships out Of action.
The Albemarle was a successor to
the famed iron-clad Merrimac. and
both these ships were involved in
historic events which revolutionized
naval warfare and led to the sup
planting of wooden ships with ar
mored vessels.
Cushing dropped the torpedo in
such a manner that it came up un-
der the Albemarle. Just as he ex-
ploded the torpedo. a 100-pounder
on the Albemarle blew his launch
out Of the water. I y three men.

The Role of Subsidies
New York Tines


| Those who are now advocating the extensive use
of subsidies in this country point to the use made
of them in Great Britain and Canada But any
lcomparisons of this sort must take into account the
differences between situation in these countries
and here as well as the limited role that subsidies
can play if they not themselves to become a
far greater evil than the evils they are intended to
avert.
Under the Canadian ceiling plan wages and
salaries are directly tied the cost of living index
They are frozen as long as index is frozen, but
are permitted to rise if the index rises. Canada has
therefore found thus far that it is cheaper to keep
the index itself from rising by substituting special
commodities that would otherwise get out OF line and
SO force up wages Another of subsidies, which
has already been employed here as we'll as in Great
Britain and Canada is to stimulate production. This
applies to the sort of subsidy that has been paid
here to obtain larger supplies Of copper, lead and
zinc If it is desired for example, to keep ceiling
price of IL cents copper, while 1t is found that
small high cost mines cannot afford to produce cop
per for less than II cents then it may be considered
cheaper to pay subsidy to these high-cost mines
to produce the added copper without raising the price
to all consumers. By such device general produc-
ton costs can be kept from going up as much as
they otherwise might Still a third possible use OF
subsidies lower the price of such necessities as
bread and milk to low-ncome families.
But subsidies inevitably present both great ad-
ministratve difficulties and great dangers of scam
dali In no case they real substitute for
rigorous control initiation by means which deal
directly with the cause of initiation. Both the Brit
ish and Canadians have kept their budgets much
more nearly in balance than we have Kept ours
They have dealt more courageously with wages. They
have not permitted an increase of purchasing
power to the extent that we have permitted it.
Under these conditions they have been able, appar-
entity with fair success to make moderate use OF
guarded subsidies integral part of their price
fixing programs But If we embark now on pro-
gram of subsidies we shall do SO under much less
favorable circumstances. And if we attempt to use
subsidies as primarily device to conceal the appear
ance of initiation while continue to encourage the
reality we shall be embarking upon program of the
highest danger.

LESS TUBERCULOSIS

In contrast with the experiences in other coun-
tries mortality from tuberculosis in the United
States has continued to decline in the face of war
time hardships such longer working days crowd
ed living conditions and curtailment of various foods
along with higher prices.
But this is no reason to be lax. With the al
lotment during the last session OF the Territorial
Legislature of funds to combat the disease through
out Alaska the Territory is rightfuy taking up more
of the Territorys burden in the battle against the
scourge.
But at the same time, it is welcome news to find
that the mortality rate for 1912 was percent lower
than in the preceding year from tuberculosis. And
for the first four months of this year, period Of
peak industrial activity, the mortality was SIS. per-
cent lower than for the same four months in 1912
An arresting fact is that each month since Pearl
Harbor with the exception of one, has registered
lower death rate from this disease than the cores
ponding 80 days in the prewar period.
At the outset of the shifting of the nations in
distrial gears from peace to it feared by
many that increased employment of women in in
dustry would have harmful effect ON the tuber-
culosis mortality experience This has not been the

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline "a
but do not compel"
SATURDAY, JUNE 26

Benefic aspects rule in the morn
! ing of this day but, later, adverse
planetary influences prevail Much
suspense regarding war news is
| indicated.
HEART AND HOME: Women are
subject to stimulating and Inspir-
ing direction under this configu-
ration which is fortunate for them
in work or public service. Many
who have passed their youth will
be engaged in war industries next
month when there is sign presag-
intensive mobilization of Amer
lean man power and women power
This should be happy day for
girls who have weekend holidays,
for romance awaits many. This is
an suspicious date for morning
wedding
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Mining
interests should profit as new de-
posits of rare minerals are dis
covered or developed. Under the
urge of war needs, rich natural
re sources will be found in districts
previously little prospected. The
Stock market should be active and
responsive to Government rulings
that affect the business world. Wo-
men will make new records for eff
ficiency in many voc2tiOns which
have been previously assigned ex
ciusively to men ana will prove
their special ability where detail is
required. Patience, Characteristic
developed by motherhood and its
tasks, will be most valuable to
feminine recruits in industry.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Ambitious
candidates for the nomination for
President will be much in the pub
lie mind in coming weeks when
publicity will take many forms,
some of which are due to extensive
investigation of war fronts ana
others to magazine contributions,
or books dealing with personal sex-
perience. In other words, the urge
to present qualifications for the
most exacting government office in
all the world will be compelling.
AStrologers forecast national
campaign of a new order that COR
responds to the world trend away
from established traditions.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Surprise has been repeatedly
stressed by astrologers as the con-
! spicuous factor in world affairs.
In their plans the United Nations
will demonstrate each day their
amazing foresight and tactical
genius as they pursue offensives
that assure victory over the Axis
powers. Again astrologers predict a
hiatus between the defeat of the
Nazis and the final destruction Of
Japanese power. The lunation cul-
minating at Washington this
month presages the United States
postwar position as arbiter of world
destiny.
Persons whose birthday it is have
the augury of year of advance
ment in business or in rank with
the armed forces. Impatience will
retard progress.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be clever, industrious and
iovable. Many may have a deep
reverence for history and inciden-
tally for their own forebears.
