The extent of such aid is indicated by a Department of Commerce report list- ing the contribution of ne $40,000,000 for relief in foreign countries by American charitable and re- ligious organizations during 1939 This sum, which is in addition to the outpouring of relief funds through individual and unorganized (hannels, takes into account only a small part of the American funds donated for Finland’s use. The campaign to aid Finland did not mature until after the first of the year War and persecution, rather than natural cala- mities or economic misfortune, evoked the major share of foreign charity t year, when the amount given by the Ur 1 tes was the largest since 1931, Remittances to aid pe suted Jews increased by more than half last year, with a total of $11,100,- 000 sent abroad to aid, resettle, and rehabilitate the FOLDERS . . .

The Why of Thailand (Philadelphia Recor.l We have received a moving appeal from the Commissioner General for Thailand (Siam to you) that we explain' why Siam suddenly changed its name. We hasten to respond. It seems that long years ago, when trading was scant, the Chinese traded with the ex-Siamese through a post called “Sayam.” For convenience, the name became associated with the whole coun: try, and later was corrupted to “Siem"—then, as more foreigners came to visit—to Siam. However, among the natives, the country has always been “Prades Thai"—"Prades” meaning land, and “Thai” meaning free. To facilitate pronunciation, says the Consul General, “Thailand” was adopted as the of- ficial name, Henceforth, Thailand stands—for a kingdom of 5,000,000 people, brothers of a Thai race of about 50,000,000 scattered also in adjoining territory. And aside from the benefits to the home folks, there is at least one gain for us Occidentals. We should hear no more of those pun songs—"Oh, yes, Siam"— and others less printable. Maybe the world do move! AN old printer once said: Our duty is to make the printed word speak great truths more clearly!” This is our ideal. We have built our business on hon- est, efficient ecrafts- manship which makes no compromise with half truths. TAGS . . . POSTERS . . . CARDS . . . INDEXES . . .

Heart and Home: This is not n} lucky day for women, especially| those who seek employment. The stars may seem to frown upon the ambitions of young girls. This is| a date for practical work in the household or the classroom. The| seers emphasize the importance of careful training along lines of value| in public service. Women of all| ages should practice thrift by shop-| ping carefully and saving wisely. | Business Affairs: Air-condition- | ing, radio improvements and other modern departments of industry will be profitable as science intro-| duces novel discoveries and inven- tions. Prosperity will be fair through the summer, although per- jods of inactivity will be experi-! enced in many commercial lines. Money will circulate freely after| mid-summer. | National Issues: Subversive ac-| tivities will be widespread in the| United States where spies will bore | under many institutions and pene- trate into manufacturing plants. Danger of becoming too suspicious of one’s neighbors is foreseen, The seers warn against prejudices that are due to subtle propaganda. Edi- tors may be wary but nevertheless instrumental in spreading fears where confidence should be en- couraged. International Affairs: Rumania is under portents of supreme peril for King Carol and his people. The stars are read as indicating for Rumania continued anxiety until the autumn of 1943, a time when there will be for Europe decisive events in which the wheel of for- tune will bring about amazing rev- olutions. Then the United States will be foremost among world pow- ers, it is prophesied. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happy fortune. Unexpected good luck is indicated. Loss through bad man- agement must be avoided. Children born on this day prob- ably will be high-strung, talented and sensitive. These Arians may be gifted but difficult to direct.
