No murmurs. No whimperings. Americans met this mighty change like the pat- riotic, determined people they are—willing to make some industries. This fully justifies the policy laid down by Paul V.

We offer the thought to those who may be in- clined to grumble wheén rationing starts and when they hear there are gas and oil in Pacific Northwest tanks. There should be. As we see it, those of us who walk to work in this area are building a reserve, at the closest possible location, for decisive battle somewhere in the North Pacific. find its time of peril something useful to do—useful to the nation in That must be the aim of any man- power policy while we are waging total war, SETTING THE EXAMPLE No country on earth has as many automobiles per capita as the United States. In no country is the automobile such a necessity in the daily life of the people. We have used it so universally that steam and electric railroads long ago discounted the bulk of their interurban service throughout the country, and interurban tracks have been generally nbandonéd and torn up. Now as a war necessity, people are re- quired to give up, to a large extent, this basic meéans of transportation. When gasoline rationing went in- to effect, many congressmen and senators who regu- late the acts of private citizens, signed up for “X" cards giving them unlimited amounts of gas, on the theory that their driving was essential to national defense.

Labor and aviation are under for- tuhate direction. HEART AND HOME: This Is a lucky wedding day. Marriage cere- monies performed in the evening should be fortunate. The stars are kindly in their sway and seem toj encourage prosperity through work instéad of influénce or special priv- lege. It is an auspicious date for courtship but does not seem to pres- age , speedy engagements. Young fen are likely to be cautious about future responsibilities. Whatever is connected with theatres or places of entertainment should bring suc- cess under this configuration.
