Here is letter from my five year old
daughter who says: Please bring me
from Russia polar bear and reindeer
even if they're only baby ones. ~
There were a few smiles and he sat
down. Twenty-f four hours later an
urgent message reached him from the
Admiral commanding the battleshlp
which was to take hun home The
flash was terse: Please understand
this is one of His Majesty ships and
not a blasted menagerie -

Kind remarks, bits of
praise here and there
will help others, and
give you a lift, too :.

MY OLD friend. the poet and editor,
vl Charles Hanson Towne, was strolling
along Fifth Avenue recently when he OBJ
served a startlingly handsome woman
standing at the curb. "She was middle
aged" he told me. land stranger. But,
after a moments hesitation, said to her
I beg your pardon. am an elderly man
with only the best intentions. so perhaps
you won't mind my telling you that you
are one of the most beautiful women |
have ever seen. '
"She must have thought you were
crazy" laughed.
Il thought so myself" Charley an
swered, but afterward | decided that |
had never done anything more sensible.
That woman flushed with pleasure. She
had reached the time of life when all of
US need little bolstering. We begin
doubling that anyone finds US interesting
or attractive, and it's good thing to
have our faith lifted. What's really crazy
is that most of us are so niggardly with
these vitamins for the soul"
OF COURSE, Charley was right. When we
strive to say. do, or be anything worth
while, even the most modest of US feels
rewarded by recognition; and in all proba
bility, strives the harder to deserve it.
We all have our painful periods of self
questioning: Was that job really well done?
Did tonight's company find me agree
able? Now that I'm getting along in years,
have become so plain or 50 dull that no
one cares for me? At times like these -
or, as Charley says, at any time - pat
on the back can be Balm of Gilead.
who is my friend?" Elbert Hubbard
once remarked. The man who tells me
the unpleasant truth about myself? |
can get as much of that as need from my
enemies My friend is the man who sees
the best in me, and reminds me of it
occasionally"
No one worth his salt wishes unearned
praise or insincere fiattery. It's quite
another thing to see the best" in an asso-
1iate, and to stress that rather than the
unpleasant truth"
If tell my wife that she has the face
and figure of Phryne, I'm lying. and she
knows it. However, when | say that |
think her beautiful she knows that is true

Revolution in Germany?
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer neutral parsonage who recently visited Germany brought back to Allied sources novel warning. Be- ware he said fake German revolution" on the eve of the Allied assault upon Hiters European fortress.
 The intent of such of course, would be to encourage hesitation and doubt in the Allied camp at the very instant of tremendous military under taking Undoubtedly, it would be dressed up to re- sembe an overthrowing" of Hitler and his associates by the good Germans and would be designed to convince the world that the Third Reich and the Naz party had been taken over by men with whom the Allies could deal in honor and trust According to the neutral parsonage, the German army would volunteer to negotiate between two gallant enemies to arrange the evacuation of occupied countries and make other tempting concessions to the Allies It is doubtful, of course, that any such move, regardless how well stage managed it was, would dissuade the top Allied military leaders from pro- ceedng with their plans But it readily be ap- preciated how many of the people and some of the fighting of the United States might be en- couraged to feel that it was all over, and the need for invasion past
 Naturally if the reaction in Allied circles seemed favorable (from Naz standpoint the Germans would proceed immediately to convert their trial balloon into actual means of getting out of the war on relatively easy terms.
 Such scheme, however would involve a very grave element of risk to the Nazis If it backfred, it would be hurtful to them than to the Allies. And backfre it might Germany's present political situation is shaky, and fake revolution might set up train of unforeseen consequences-once again defeating Germany before her military strength was exhausted
 For that reason we doubt if the Nazis will att tempt phony revolution at least until the Allies have landed and reinforced their position on the Continent. Almost certainly it will be tried when the drive Berlin begins te roll successfully from two directions.
 Partly through wishful thinking and partly through ideas planted by the Nazs themselves many peope of the Allied nations have expected German revolution for some time. However, Nazi leader recently said Everything in Germany is now so totalitarianzed that if revolution it will also be Nazi made"

 T say that that statement is a willful. deliberate, malicious, dis honest. intensely cowardly, low, de- grading, filthy lie out of the whole cloth I never pulled knife on any person in my life. Not only have I never pulled knife on any Senator but I have never pulled a knife on anyone in my entire his- tory"

I do not ask any of them to speak up unless they want to. shall be glad to have them do so if any of them have anything to say about it. Did I ever kill pet project of any Senator, be he Democrat, Re- publican or Independent? I never did such a thing in my life. My whole life here brands that as a lie.

MONDAY MAY Is

Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for many lines of business. Labor is well directed. HEART AND HOME: Kindly stars guide women today. It is a lucky wedding date and despite superstition the month should be marked by many marriages Grand mothers come under a promising sway which presages extraordinary opportunities s9h BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Establish ment of many new business enter prises is presaged by the stars. Private industry. now hampered by severe tax laws, will be released from present handicaps, it is fore- cast, and American initiative will profit.
 NATIONAL ISSUES The prob- lem of eliminating race prejudices will be foremost in public interest and will have decided influence on the coming national election, &C., cording to the stars. Industrial equality will be attained, it is fore told, long before social equality is possible.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Impulsive acts and words are likely to embarrass the British Govern ment. Mercury, the planet of con- troversy, will affect Parliament. Close relations between London and Washington will be criticized by faultfinding American editors, but will prove extremely beneficial in Ia severe war crisis.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augnry of year of varied ex- periences. Caution in financial matters is important.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and energetic. Earning money may be easy for them but they may not use it wisely.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs ,ftcline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, MAY IA


 Good planetary influences and the reverse are active through this day which should be wisely employ ed. Churches should be well att | tended.
 HEART AND HOME: Women
 are under a sway that clears per- ception and many will be extremely susceptible to religious teachings Because of the spiritual vision im- parted by war experiences, returned veterans will desire understanding and sympathy and will rejoice over the trend toward finer ideals of life. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This week of May should be most significant
 to students of finance. It is fore cast that conferences or pronounce ments will cause bankers to be eau
 tious; war crises presage mamonth Government expenditures. ~ NATIONAL I s s U ES: Because the present largely determines the future one of the first steps toward
 postwar prosperity is the study of community needs Reforms of so- cial institutions must start at the foundations and this is the time to
 begin, astrologers declare. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :
 Noteworthy improvement in Indias situation is forecast. The idea of freedom is to be strongly pervasive
 among the Allies. Battles for de
 mocracy should not be limited in
 their benefits.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have
 the augury of a year of difficulties
 which will be counterbalanced by
 good luck.
 Children born on this day prob-
 ably will be talented but tempera-
 mental. Many may be fond of di4t
 play and inclined toward self-in-
 diligence.
