It happened the other night in} the cold, stilly darkness of 4 am.| No one was hurt, but the milk-| man who provoked the shot is still quaking in his hoots. The milkman drove truck loaded with dairy products for the Capitol restaurants. Dis- mounting, he darted towards a| freight elevator on the Senate side. planning to press a button signal- ing a workman inside to raise the elevator. The milkman didn't see a soldier on sentry duty nearby, nor hear him when he shouted, “Halt!” The milkman continued his dash toward the elevator, but a moment later a rifle shot froze him in his tracks. “I didn't see you,” gulped the milkman as the soldier approached | with fixed bayonet. “Mister, I shot in the air that time as a warning,” said the sol- dier, “but I would have had to fire| the next shot at you if you hadn't stopped. The army is guarding the Capitol at night, and when we say halt, we mean halt. We're not fool- ing.” NOTE: Ine person who never has any trouble with the soldies guarding the Senate Office Build- ing is Mrs, Eloise Crocker, a widow living in the Methodist Bullding across the way, who brings the men a basket of sandwiches, hot coffee and cakes promptly at 10 p.m. every night.

Both the Army and the Air| forces should be fairly fortunate under this configuration. 1 HEART AND HOME: This| should be a lucky day for putting into operation plans for the house- hold which assure wise preparation for the future. Tt is lucky for shop- ping and for the feminine handi- crafts. There is promise of good news that will cheer many women | whose sons are in the service of their country. This shouid be a| fortunate sway under which o] seck the support of prominent men | and women in any humanitarian | movement, This is a time for care- | ful preparation for public duties in which there will be urgent need | of aid by this time next year. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: While the economic situation in the United States may apprehension, gene1al prosper will be enjoyed by wage-earners Constructive legislation will be dis- cussed as danger of inflation s seen but a general improvement in the nation’s financial outlook is fcrecast, although the cost of de- fense preparations will continue to increase. There will be new for- tunes made by a few clever men, but there will be sudden fluctua- tion in the values of securities, losses and business recessions. NATIONAL ISSUES: While the best youth of the nation is called to the service of the country, a tention will be drawn to the num- ber of prisoners in penitentiaries who seek paroles and obtain them.' Releases of evildoers who find new opportunities to return to crim- |inal practices will arouse resent- ment. In certain cases where favoritism is suspected bitter pro- s will be registered. The stars presage success in money-making for men who have in the past| | proved themselves enemies of so- ciety INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: There is to be overwhelming par- caure | 1 ticipation in the world conflict this spring. This means that the prognostication of our leadership in saving democracy is to be ful-| year. Mars indicates su- preme tests for the nation, but we are to be victorious. Through the summer the United States is to .| realize the full meaning of its part | | in this second World War. | Persons whose birthdate it is| have the augury of a year of gocd fortune. Much pleasure through‘i friends, old and new, is indicated. | Children born on this day prob-! ably will be fortunate all through | their lives.

They are sure that Dempsey, bubbling over with ambition, won’t be daunted by his setbacks.

In Bob Zuppke Robert C. Zuppke, for 29 years head football coach at the Uni- wversity of Illinois, has announced he will resign, thus climaxing a three-year alumni fight to bring about his ouster.
