 NATIONAL ISSUES: Pursuit and punishment of members of subversive agencies will become a major interest among law-abiding patriotic citizens Partisan influ- ences may obstruct thorough in- veStlgatlOnS until aIter the natlondl election.
 INTERNATIONAL AZ F A R s: Political disturbances in Britain are probable Fierce battles in the Pacific are forecast. Astrologers predict that Japanese defeat may not be achieved until next year.
 Persons whose birthate it is have the augury of year of unexpected events, most of them fortunate Love affairs will bring happiness. Children born on this day will probably be keenly perceptive and { absorb information quickly. Pros- porous careers are prophesied

 On May 25 1925. catastrophe occurred in the heavens star exploded threw out shells of glowing gas and shone with a new brilliance Astronomers called it Nova Pictors Such explosions occur ire quently-thirty every year in the great nebua of Andronleda alone Why they should occur nobody knows. Was there collision? Did the explosions because of internal instability? Asrophyscsts
 incline toward the second theory and even go so far to assert that any star our sun included may blow up at least in it's lifetime.
 Like many astronomers, pr. J. s. Paraskevopoulos of Harvards South African observatory mas been watching Nova Pictors ever since it blew up It is
 rather dim star now, that it repeats the familiar story of all novae. It news to astronomers to read the dispatches that Nova Pctoris had split up into four bodies. The fact has been known since 1928. What interested the astronomers Dr Pa. raskevopoulos observation that the poles of what mains of the original star outrageously fattened There is nothing strange in this Out in space there hundreds of double stars which similarly fiat tened Even the splitting up of Nova Pictoris is not new According to Sir George Darwin the earth once spun on it's axis in four hours At that dizzy speed a pear shaped mass was thrown off connected with the earth only by slender stalk, that the earth looked like dumb-bel When the stalk broke the moon was born scar was left which is now filled with water and which We call the Pacific Ocean.
 In this splitting up of star Dr Paraskevopoulos possible explanation of the origin of the solar system Half dozen theories have been advanced to account for our central sun and it's family of planets and satellites. Not of them is wholly acceptable for mechanical reasons. Like other asron- omers Dr. Paraskeyopoulos therefore turns to the snble body hurlng out portions of itself, which are then subjected to gravtatonal and other forces presents possibilities which have not yet been explored with mathematical thoroughness Assuming that worlds are created when a star explodes, humanity will have discard another of its treasured notions Once upon time the supposed to be the center of the universe. When the sun was dehroned it still thought that at least the solar system was unique particularly living earth Tn fact Alfred Russell Wallace wrote book that subject What becomes of this remaining conceit if it should turn out that when starts blow up worlds even habable worlds, created?

Cropshooting
Is Economic
Issue in u. S.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1872
The size of stakes in army
crap games became an economic
issue today, as if it already
weren't.
Spang in the middle of
scholarly discussion Of Allied
military currency used by our
army in Italy, economists DON
aid l.. Kemmerer and T. Eugene
Beattie observed that the SOL
diers customarily are handed
their pay in the biggest bills
availa lie land incidentally
stakes in crap games are kept
high"
ITO keep transportation costs
to minimum our soldiers are
generally paid in the larges do
nominations possible" the econ
omists stated in a folder distrib-
uted by the Economists National
Committe on Monetary Policy.
For example, a soldier en-
titled to S46.50 on pay day will
get four 1000 lire notes. one 500
lire note, one 100 and one So"
1t doesn't take an assistant
profession of economics, such as
Kemmerer is at the University
of Illinois, to deduce that this
procedure is virtually a command
invitation for high rolling on the
vagaries of that Old Fighter
from Decatur and Little Joe
from Kokomo.
The currency, which KEN
merer and Beattie say looks like
cigar coupons Autographed on
mediocre paper, is turned out in
Washington and shipped to Italy
where it has been declared legal
tender. The exchange rate is 100
lire to the dollar, and soldiers
with a sense of thrift, a smart
pair of dice, or both, frequently
convert the lire to dollar money
orders which they dispatch home
after the pay day flurries.
There's another crapshooting
angle to the currency situation,
Messrs. K. and B. declare:
IF it is attempted to redeem
money in full for American SOL
diers there arise possibilities,
difficult to deal with. of soldiers
buying native-held Allied mill
tary currency at a discount and
making a profit.
"Who is to say that a G. I.
turning up with a wad of bills
did not win them at crap

fees with a field staff of per-
haps 100 men, specialists in rec
reation facilities. They can be
of help.
Suppose a town is thinking of
setting up a bronze statue or
tablet or marble shaft as a
memorial. The FSA man can't
help with that.
But suppose town wishes to
build a living memorial, such
as a community or recreation
center.
The FSA can give advice on
a recreation center because he
has had a lot of wartime expert
ence in that field.
He can also suggest that the
town get from FSA a few typi-
cal plans of community build
ings which serve many purpos-
es. The plans are outlines. They
have nothing to do with the ar
chitectural work which would
have to be done on them.
Here are some living memoir
ials which FSA says are Under
consideration, the money to be
raised in various ways:
Coral Gables, FLA youth

Calif.-Auditorium and Con-
vention Hall, $4,000; Santa
Barbara, Calif.-$42,0O0 for the
purchase and renovation of a

Burlington, N. Community
Building, 100000; Greensboro,
N. c. Auditorium, $750,00O;
Winchester, Va. - Community
recreation building with an au-
ditorium and swimming pool,
100000.
Here are other places which
FSA says are thinking of me-
MORALS:
Seattle, Wash; Tucson, Ariz.;
Denver, Colo; Pueblo, Colo;
Greeley, Colo; Rock Spring,
Wyo.; Nashville, Tenn; Selma,
Ala; Charlotte, N. c.; Whining
ton, N. c.; Weirton, w. Va.
These living memorials, if
built after the war, would also
help create employment, it was
pointed out by FSA.

WASHINGTON, Oct.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 Up
- American towns and cities
are planning now for memorials
to World War ii veterans, living
and dead.
Hundreds are thinking of me-
MORALS with a double purpose:
To honor the veterans and give
useful service to the generations
coming after them.
These memorials which can be
used by the living are called
living memorials. There II great
emphasis on that type.
Americans have seen memoir
ials to veterans of other wars:
Men on horseback, heaped can
non balls, moldy cannon on a
court house lawn.
After the last war living me-
MORALS began to spring up
across the country. Here are
some which the Federal Secur-
ity Agency (FSA) says are be-
ing considered now:
Auditoriums, convention halls,
schools for special purposes,
hospitals, research institutions,
band shells, open air theaters,
school forests, community for
ests, camping areas, picnic
grounds, recreation parks, golf
courses, beaches, swimm / n &
pools, camping areas, baseball
and football parks, Fairgrounds.
There seems to have been a
great surge Of interest in me-
MORALS recently, now that the
German phase of the war is
heading toward a close.
In the past three months FSA
SAYS it has received more than
1000 inquiries about youth cen
tiers alone. They are intended
as World War II memorials but
will serve the young people OF
today and tomorrow.
These inquiries are in addi-
ton to hundreds asking about
other plans, particularly COM
munity centers and recreation
grounds.
