HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not cOmpeW

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Il
 Benefic aspects dominate today, which promises most inspiring news from Europe. Good luck attends aviators under this configuration.
 HEART AND HOME: This is not an suspicious date for women. Discussion of postwar policies re- garding employment of wives and mothers will arouse anxiety. The stars presage gradual readjust- ments. Many girls who will marry will temporarily concentrate on homemaking, but the trend will be toward economic as well as TO- mantle partnership.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Revela- tions of many new fortunes due to war contracts will arouse the re- sentiment of returning servicemen. The stars seem to indicate de- mands for equalization of rewards in the establishment of fighters in the business world. Since sac rifices have been unevenly dis tributed, adequate compensation now will be desired.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Growth of Communism in all parts of the world is prognosticated. In the United States as well as China con- servatives will have reason to be concerned about the progress of extreme liberalism.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." S.: Governmental changes in Europe will bring diplomatic problems of extreme importance to the United States. Astrologers stress the diff ference between statesmen and politicians as they warn of coming difficulties for Washington. Younger Americans will be at the helm years hence when normal condi- tions are finally established in the world
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pleas ant associations. Those who will marry while young will prosper. l Children born on this day prob ably will have lofty ambitions which will be realized, for they should be endowed with unusual intelligence.

Wages at a New Peak
(NeW York Times)

Average hourly earnings of all wage-earners in manufacturing industries in July according to the National Industrial Conference Board to reach new all-tme high point of $1072 This figure, which includes overtime and other monetary compensation marks the latest peak, according to the board in upward movement which has lasted for eleven years At $1072 per hour, hourly earnings 51 per cent above the July 943 level 412 per cent above that of January, 1941 (the Little Steel formula base), and 817 per cent higher than the average in 1929. All this is far in of the advance in living costs which the Conference Board figures put for July at 221 per cent above those of January, 1941
 Yet it is just when hourly wages reaching un- precedented levels that the very gorups which have benefited most most vocferous in declaring that an ntolerabe sacrifice has been put upon them and that the Little Steel formula should be smashed SC that their wages be advanced still more.

YANKEE INGENUITY

Prime Minister Churchill paid sincere tribute in Parliament to the terrific job of the U. s. Army in landing more than 100000 men since D-day and moving hundreds of millions of tons of guns, food, munitions up from the beaches into the front lines. However, the real inside story of this supply miracle has not yet been told.
 The ingenuity of U. s. supply of- ficers in contriving temporary docks staggers civilian imagination
 One way of landing supplies was to drive fully loaded Liberty ships right on to the beaches and de- liberately turn them over on their sides, with the sterns extending into the water.
 After these Liberty ships were run aground, G. Is built platforms on their sides, making simulated temporary piers. Other ships then docked alongside them
 Another impressive device still being used by supply troops are hundreds of hastily constructed railroad barges strung end to end from the beaches out to sea, where they are anchored, making float ing pier.
 Within two weeks after the Allies captured Cherbourg, that great French port was handling a greater amount of supplies than in did in pre-war times.

Is Groy After Robots Hit

 London, Sept. l-(UP)--A row of Buildings on the morning after a flying bomb hits has all the pri- vacy of purse turned inside out al public.
 You walk through London lane On both sides of the narrow way, windows are smashed, Behind the empty, twisted sash people are at their office desks working as usual A man is dictating to his secretary as you pass their office-open to the sidewalk.
 In an empty office across the way Q swivel chair stands before a desk. The interior of the office Is undamaged, but the side of the oak chair toward the blasted window is neatly torn away.
 The bomb had hit at the head of the lane and destroyed a row of dwellings and offices. There were casualties, but only one person was killed, Salvage crews are carrying put office records in battered filing eases and splintered desk drawers,
 A well-worn rug lies In the mid Gile of the street, Broken tele- phones arc carefully stacked on a window sill. A dictionary lies open on the sidewalk and next to 1t a book titled, The Well Designed Home"
 While salvagers dig through the ruhtle, a black cat prowls with them as If looking for something of It's own.
 The knot of spectators of which all Of this must be familiar seems curious rather than angry, AS one put 1t, there's no use crying over split milk" He turned back to add grinIly, but they must pay for things like this"
 Down the lane a stationer's shop is selling Q new line of postcard, One says:
 Business as usual2 Not quite, but we're carrying on till Hitler's pants are at half-mast."

THE GATHERING STORM

Throughout these years of mili- tary preparation young Eisenhower started, when he was a second lieu- tenant, to keep set of notebooks, which he still continues. These pri. vate notebooks are rich mines of observation and comment.
 Always vitally interested in mili- tary history, he was assigned to Washington and detailed to the American Battle Monuments Com mission, under General Pershing, where he served from Jan. IS to Aug. IS, 1927. He pursued his stud- les in the Army War College at Washington, and was graduated on June l9, 1928, leaving immediately for France, where until Sept. IS, 1929, he was again on duty with the Battle Monument Commission in Paris.
 During fifteen months we find Ma jor Eisenhower journeying over the battlegrounds of World War I in France, jotting down notes and making maps for an official Guide to American Battlefields in Eur ope." This was published by the government; its thoroughness and keen observations were highly com- mended.
 While Eisenhower was living in Paris, the Kellogg -Briand Anti-War Treaty was being created. Ike met the leading military figures and statesmen of the time. He attended sessions of the treaty conference, of the Chamber of Deputies and the French Senate, went to Geneva to observe the League of Nations in operation, and became an ardent student of international relations and world affairs.
 
 Eisenhower was receiving his first insight into both diplomatic and hu- man nature. He was assigned to the War Department, in Washington, where as assistant executive in the ofiice of the Assistant Secretary of War, he gained his first knowledge of the necessity of preparedness to preserve peace and enforce 1t in GEESE Ol cIlCA eCAtCys AACAC AAO ~ mained from Nov. 8, 1929, until Feb. 20, l933-more than three years or intensive study and work. It was at this time that he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.
 He was in the War Department during the last days of the Hoover administration. The great depres- sion, which was sweeping the na- ton and the world, was developing into a crisis.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur was Chief of Stan of the United States Army, at Washington. during these critical days of lo30-35. He, too, was visioning perils ahead and working indefatigably to arouse the nation to the necessity of preparedness. Hitler was rising to power in Ger many, which also was in the throes of economic depression; by pres- sure, intimidation and threats he was made Chancellor by the aged Won Hlndenberg.
 These were the conditions when we find Major Eisenhower serving General Macarthur as special as- slstant to the Chief of stan from

Feb. 20, 1883, to Sept, 2l, 1885 through more than two and one- half years of crisis.
 Eisenhower had just been gradu- ated from the Army Industrial Col lege and was now one of the best equipped military men in Washing ton. MacArthur was exerting his energies to arouse both Congress and the American people to the irn- mediate necessity of establishing a mechanized army. His vigorous appeals for appropriation for American defense occupied thou sands of pages in the records of Congress. If they had been needed. we would not have been caught un- protected in the Philippines and the Pacific.
 Working unceasingly, Eisenhower was collecting the materials and evi- dence for General MacArthur's re- ports to Congress. After reading the documents placed before him, Mac Arthur appointed Eisenhower as his aide.
 In the meantime, Japan was at war with China. Hitler, in Ger many, began surreptitiously to build a powerful army. The Reichstag, now under his control, voted hin. absolute power. He began his reign of intrigue, prosecutions, executions, as his storm troopers and Gestapo started on their nefarious cam- paigns.
 Mussolini in Italy, defiant of all the pledges to maintain peace, started on his invasion of Ethio- pia to create new Italian Empire, and after ruthless warfare, during which Emperor Halle Selassie and his family were forced to flee from Addis Ababa to England, Mussolini decreed Victor Emmanuel Emperor of Ethiopia. Hitler, in Germany, re- pudiated the Versailles Treaty and ordered conscription, openly defying the world.
 These were the ominous rum" blings as General MacArthur re- ceived an, urgent appeal from the Philippines to come to their defense. President Manuel Quezon. observing the Japanese thrusts into China, realized that the warlords were plot ting to invade his country as the key to tehir conquest of the Pacific. He could read the handwriting on the wall.
 General MacArthur answered the call, retired from the General Stan at Washington, and sailed for the Philippines. And in September, 1885, Major Dwight D. Eisenhower was crossing the Pacific to become as- sistant military adviser to General MacArthur. Stationed at Manila, from Oct. 26. 1885. to Dec. l3. 1889. he was promoted to lieutenant colonel (July l, l936). Here they began the heroic effort against time

Clinic

No. 80 is a bugbear to every
bowler. This leave is, of course,
only left following what is called
a wild" hit. 1t can be made safest
by having the ball strike as shown
in the chart. However, it is pos
sible of accomplishment by having
the ball strike in the 1-3 pocket,
the ball following through into the
8 pin. This, however, it most diff
cult because unless the hit is per-
feet, the head-pin is very apt to go
to the left of the pin or the ball
to the right. Then, too, either the
6 or the 10, or both, might be left
standing. In this chart, the start
ing spot of the straight ball could
be considerably to the left of where
it is shown.
Sparing Splits
With chart 81 we begin those
pesky splits which cause not only
the ordinary everyday bowler lot
of trouble, but also the man who
is generally exceedingly accurate
in making spares. Hook bowlers
particularly have more difficulty
in converting the $40 than do
straight ball bowlers; especially so
when bowling against the lighter
weight pins, for here DETECTION
definitely comes into play to such
a degree as to be discernible. Much
dicussion takes place continually
as to the proper manner of making
the $40 split. In the opinion of the
timers, the split should be
made by having the ball strike the
3 pin on the right-hand side and
deflect into the 10 pin. By bowling
at it in this manner, the pin can
be missed on either side or it can
be hit too full or contacted too thin
on either side. The same can be
said when bowling at the left-hand
side of the 3 pin. In summing it up,
it can be missed four ways regard
less as to whether one shoots at
either the right or the left-hand
side of he pin. However, by at
tempting to fit the fall between
the 8 and 10, one is practically al
ways assured of at least one of the
two pins and therefore it seems ad-
visable to shoot between them.
The above applies likewise to
chart 80, but here instead of shoot
ing from the left-hand side of the
alley, the right-handed bowler is
far more certain of making the 2-7
than he is the $40. Here also the
