Adverse aspects are active today
when the resourcefulpess of United
Nations commanders may be Sc
verely tried.
HEART AND HOME: Numerous
hazards will beset home fronts, as
we'll as battle areas, this month.
The United States will realize the
full meaning of war as restrictions
Increase. Warning is again given
Of the spread of influenza.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although
retail merchants will suffer the
usual post holiday lull. 1914 will
bring an extraordinary volume of
trade Exporters will ignore the
submarine menace. Restaurants

NATIONAL ISSUES: Isolation
lists will oppose early plans for post
war foreign policies. The same
planetary forces that prevented our
joining the League Of Nations are
aligned against partnership in per-
manent peace organizations
INTERNATIONAL A AFFAIRS
The fear of Axis leaders who are
responsible for war atrocities will
postpone unconditional surrender,
the seers predict Certainty of ret
libution will stimulate inhuman
treatment and strengthen German
viii to destruction.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of sudden up
heavals and unforeseen expenditures
but good luck will outweigh mis-
fortunes.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be highly talented and in
dustrious but their careers may be
marked by hazards.

MRS. BENNETT CLARK

Last year. at a school track meet
in Washington, two twins aged
about IA took high honors Both
perfect physical specimens, they
won almost every event.
AS they were handed silver loving
cups, a friend remarked to their
mother, Mrs. Bennett Clark, wife OF
the Senator from Missouri: How
thrilled you must be to have two
such fine, active boys"
Yes admitted radiant Mrs
Clark, Il am happy-because. you
see. myself cannot walk"
Mrs. Clark Gsed the other day
She had been crippled from infan-
tile paralysis most Of her life and,
in recent months, from cancer. Few
knew how much she suffered But
she never let her own suffering in
terfere with her job OF being
mother. And she was happy when
she died in leaving behind three
fine monuments TO motherhood

JAP-AMERICAN SOLDIERS

High executives of the War De-
partment are proud OF the way IN
which nese-American soldiers
have responded to the call OF Am
erican patriotism and done good
job in the Army.
Enlisting American-born Japan
ese in the U. S Army was frankly
an experiment and many old-llne
officers were very skeptical. How
ever, Under Secretary of War Pat
terson and Assistant Secretary Jack
McCloy insisted that they be given
a chance The performance OF Jap
anese- American troops in battle has
more than justified this confidence
in them.
Reports from Italy pay tribute to
the bravery of one Jap-American
battalion which was under heavy
fire Most of its men were re-
cruited from Hawaii. They fought
with great heroism and the casualty
lists were very heavy.
When Under-Secretary of War
Patterson was in the Southwest
Pacific not long ago, General Oscar
Griswold asked him to meet his
intelligence unit. Patterson stepped
into the intelligence tent and there
met five grinning Japs. They were
not prisoners, but Hawaiian-bo
and were entrusted with the vitality
important job of translating intelli-
gence information picked up from
the enemy.

enter the Army, but in no case has

SEGREGATION UPHELD

The Interstate Commerce Commission has upheld
segregation of races on railroad trains where equal
accommodations and services are provided with the
statement that this procedure does not constitute
unlawful discrimination"
The ruling complaint OF IL Negro
against the Atlantic Coast Railroad Line was
dismissed The complanants asserted that the rail-
road refused to allow them be served breakfast and
dinner in the dining and that they were allowed
to eat lunch in the dining only after the white
passengers had been served.
There is no discrimination between whites and
American citizens of other colors in the killing of
Japs Germans.

DISCHARGED from military service so
fast that the task of Veterans Ad-
ministration is going up like a sky
rocket Now employing $4,000 work
ers all over the country, v. A. will
soon have to double its staff.
So the Ramspeck committee has
reversed itself, has now helped the
Veteran Administration get num-
Der one priority from Budget Bu-
reau. This puts them in the same
category as the War and Navy De-
partments, and gives them the green

implies union, and there is no union

kind or another to give you full

anti-freeze in your dealers stock

Have your cooling system checked

Leaking or clogged radiators, faulty

system defects waste anti-freeze.
Since anti-freeze is made from

want to waste it-and, of course,
you should buy only as much as
