American seamen were being held oft charges of drunkenness, lewd conduct, and stealing® from life- boats. The charges were brought by Commander Samuel B. Frankel, | U. S, Naval Attache in Murmansk. On these charges, the men were sent in a corvette to Glasgow, held in irons until arrangements could be made for their transportation back to the United States. 1 But when the Coast Guard, as the law provitles, proceeded to take action against the men, it was im- possible to find sufficient evidence | to convict. Meantime, four seamen had lost six months of usefulness. There was a similar ‘ease of 15/ men shipped ‘back from' 8ydney, Australia, to San Francisco for al- leged misbehavior.

Monday, March 1 Mixed planetary influences are active today. It is not fortunate for love affairs, since deception is likely. HEART AND HOME: Poise and courage should be cultivated under this ,configuration which is unfav- orable to serenity. In the family, nerves may be on edge. Bills and financial obligations may be irk- gome. Again the seers advise per- sons of all ages to make the bebt of each day as it comes. The tend- enléy to borrow trouble or to meet it more than half way may be in- sistent and should be overeome. Self-discipline will be more and more imperative as Spring advances. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although the effects of war will be apparent, spending by wage earners will be only slightly restricted. Retail trade Wwill be brisk in all parts of the country. Home Buying is predicted i|4s a method of safe investment hy war workets. Real estaté will be in great demiand, especially where mild climates are assured. Again astrol- ogers forecast wide interest in in- terior decorating and house furn- ishing. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Legislative bodies continue under planetary in- fluences conducive to conflict' of | opinions. In Washington bitter con- troversies over economies in gov- |ernment are indicated with many investigations and surveys' that bring limited results. Scandals will be publicized as privileged persons are envied by those who enjoy few favors. Warning is given that unity must be maintained in all war pol- icies and that patriotism must el-| iminate selfishness which will be! apparent in diverse manjfestauons. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| e influence of the rising Mars| will stimulate the martial spirit of the United Nations, but it will also ¢ause increase of industrial unrest, éspecially in the Middle West. Sa- botage will increase particularly through fires and explosions affec- fing war plants. Opposition to Ad- ministration war policies will be prevalent in certain quarters and will be encouraged by Fifth col-| umnists in the guise of refugees. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of strain due| to anxiety regarding boys in the service of the nation. Financial ben- efits are indicated. | ‘ Children born on this day pro-| bably will be lucky in money mat-| fters, but they should be careful to| avoid deception. Their love affairs may be dramatic or unlucky. (Copyright, 1943) -+ | DIRECTORY ————— Professional Fi m!-rm:l Societies eaqu Channel Drs.
