And the ones worn, he declares, “are just hats--of felt generally—worn more as garments than for adornment.” But to the shooting of foxes even more significance can be attached, perhaps, than to the dearth of hats. Fox hunting, to the hounds, is a great sport in Eng- land. It attracts not only the Lords and ladies, but thousands of middle-class folk as well. The fox, of course, is the root of the sport. The shooting of foxes in England a few years back placed one in the lists of the despised. It was not—and is not now— included in the category of sports It's different now.

NATIONAL REPRESENTATT Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, W (Washington Post) The circumstances of the death of Admiral Koga, commander of the Japanese combined fleet, recall the manner in which death overtook his predecessor, Admiral Yamamoto. Both were killed in an airplane while directing battle operations. When Yamamoto fell in battle, there was a general reaction that our arms had been attended by a stroke of good luck, but the reptition of the success will provoke a suspicion that either hara-kari by the admirals or good man- agement on our part accounts for these distinguished | casualties.

SUNDAY, JUNE 18 | Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. Teachers and preachers should gain great reésponse under this configuration. HEART AND HOME: Homemak- ing is subject to inspiring influ- ences, fortunate for every member of the family. Girls may expect romance, probably with V mail as the medium. There is’'a sign en- I couraging: to thinkers, ‘who should find mental vision keen. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Agricul- ture should benefit at this time; later unseasonable weather in cer- tain states may cause losses. The |problem of manpower for harvest- ing’ is to be solved satisfactorily, {for there will be a tremendous urge (to feed a starving world. NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers |warn that the nation has not yet {begun to contribute what will be {required to finance the war in com- ing months. Increased taxes and real financigl sacrifices are fore- cast. Minds must be focused on| the main idea of hastening the end jof the war.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Chaotic thinking which encourages wild |plans and visionary schemes may |affect certain lines of business. | Vision regarding future opportuni- |ties is important, but conservative iaction is recommended. Too op- timistic views concerning an early lending of the war may cause ser- ious mistakes. neighbor policies are under a smfi causing .possible difficulties. Gen- erosity ih offering substantial bene- fits should be limited by common sense justice, the seers warn. Hasty premises should be avoided for they are likely to be baomerangs. Jupiter is in a position fortunate for Turkey, Iraq and the Middle East, but Neptune's culmination at Delhi is gravely menacing.
