SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29
 Adverse aspects dominate today, which should be a time of eau tious procedure in business. Un- certainties of many sorts will post pone business initiative.
 HEART AND HOME: There is a sign read as encouraging to wo- men in developing their special tal- ents. All the household arts should be cultivated at this time, when the home is the haven for return ing invalided servicemen. Cooking becomes more important each day than welding.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although there is a warning sign early to- day for merchants and manufac- turers who are to meet unusual trade conditions in the winter, the stars are read as presaging a profit able season. Householders new and old will seek labor saving gadgets ullu u dNiC III ClOJllillS WILL Ot dill- azingly brisk.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Patriotic Americans who feel that the United States must emerge from the war as the dominant power in establishing democratic principles are to meet with certain disap-
 
 pointing trends within the United Nations. Astrologers foresee much diplomatic competition on the part of Great Britain and Russia.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Although Instructions of many sorts will delay the Allies, their march toward complete victory will be always progressive. Autumn wea- ther again will be a time factor but this year is to mark splendid success.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of un- expected events in which changes should be beneficial. Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and impa- tient. These talented Scorpio sub jects should be taught to overcome the habit of worrying.

INSURANCE ANTITRUST EXEMPTION ALMOST WINS

Recent refusal of the U s Supreme Court to reconsider its spring decision putting fire insur- ance under the antitrust laws was a bad blow to the insurance com panies. When the case came be- fore the court last term, they de- cided against the insurance com panies by 4-3 majority, Justices Roberts and Reed not participat- ing.
 Reed disqualified himself be- cause his son, John, was a member of the law firm of Wright, Gordon, Zachry, Parlin and Cahill, which represented the insurance con- panies.
 During the summer, young Reed left the firm, joining another New York legal office. It was in the hope that his father, Justice Stan ley Reed, would feel free to par

 It was not until after the clerk had passed on down the calendar that Barkley and Senator Car Hatch of New Mexico realized what had happened and demanded re- consideration. This was agreed. The two solons sat down wiping theil brows.

Perhaps few white Americans

fail to identify ourselves in any
way, we are rejected by ourselves

thing less than is clearly required

Dear Editor:
Thank you for promptly inform
ing me that my subscription has
been fulfilled.
Due to the fact I've been trans
ferred so much lately and will be
medically discharged from the navy
shortly, l shall not renew my SUBJ
scription until 1 return to civilian

The paper has been quite a
comfort to all the Minnesota boys
up here and the editorials were read
by all the boys from Minnesota and
elsewhere. They have really given
the boys a new view on many of
the current issues.

so much since being in the service.
Over here there is not much to read

takes priority over all other mail
that l receive. Through it I keep

Arthur White is in my outfit and
we both enjoy reading the paper.
By the way, he now is in Australia,
spending a much needed furlough.
I know that he is having a good
time as I just returned from there
during May. The people there, like
those in England, are very sociable
and hospitable. Contrary to a for

to the colored Yanks.

Milton Richard of Duluth is here

myself in congratulating Mr.. New
man on the wonderful work that he
is doing to advance the cause of
the Negro race. We feel sure that
the effort of Mr.. Newman and that
of his colleagues will accomplish
much and that when we return to
the States, our sacrifices will not
have been in vain. We send greet
ings to all of our friends in the
"Cities" and I personally send
greetings to James Coleman, Jack

Quoted a program, Friday, Sept.
%, celebrating the 82nd emanci-
patton. Brief talks, well prepared
and we'll delivered, were prophetic
in their foresight into the future

ton was heightened by the singing
of spirituals, gospel songs and the
Negro National Anthem.
On Sunday morning, the minis
ter, Rev. Robert W. Kelley, gave
the Christian Interpretation of
emancipation. He stated that
underlying the national crisis Of
the Civil war and the resulting
Emancipation Proclamation was
the Christian-democratic matrix
of religious fervor, moral intensity,
justice, equality, liberty and fra
ternity."
Mr.. William Chisholm, principal
and founder of Durkee Training
Institute, Rock Hill, S. c., wor-
shipped with US and brought to us
a history of the institution. A free
will offering of $17.55 was raised
for the school.
The Methodist men met on
Wednesday, Sept. 81, at 8 pm. in the
church. The Church School staff
will meet on Friday, Sept. 20, al
7 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Myrtle
Banks, 1901 Bryant Ave. N.
