COLES FOR OCTOBER.


j rom SlpfHlS ana SlEn5-
Our predictions last month that
"riots," panics and evil doings would
run high all over the world. and that
there would be much excitement in the
business and political world. We're full
filled to the letter. Earth passing
through sign Aries, the Ram. opposed
by sign Libra, "the Balance fore
warns us of the formation of an or
ganizaton and strange combination,
that may bring about many sudden
and expected changes. Aries. the
Ram, may take a notion to butt" if
so, prepare to witness some hard
scenes. The elements will war. Labor
and capital will war. Politicians will
war
The good forces this month will war
with the evil forces. Let the good men
and women in every cline be UP and
doing, 1t would seem as if the great
pendulum of the moral world has been
swinging hellward until it has reached
that extremity of its arc, and must
again from this time vibrate heaven
ward. The high flood forces this
month will give the good ones chance
to overpower the evil forces, and if
they do not overpower them, then the
outrages of the most diabolcal nature
will startle the whole world. Watch
out for sudden changes in the stock
market. An eclipse of the moon on
October eth will not be visible here.
1t will be visible throughout the east
ern part of Europe, on the Pacific
Ocean, in Alaska and in Asia.
So many planets will be punched to-
har thic nnntb and all aycapt JH,rtl !,
and Neptune on the same side of the
heaven and almost in the same sign,
it will be hard to tell just what will
happen to old mother Earth. but we
believe this strange meeting will
cause the weather to play many tricks
and there will be some lively scenes
in the financial, political and business
world.
The danger from storm periods will
be between the I'd and 5th; Sth and
18th; 18th and Goth. AS Mercury
period is central on the 22d, many
localities will be visited with sudden
downpour of rain and great sleet
storms from the ED until the 30th.
Dwellers along the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts must watch out for hurri-
canes. tidal waves and cyclones this
month. Would be well for navigators
along the Great Lakes to also watch
out for severe storms. Crimes, dis
aster, earthquakes and political trou-
BILE will run high. This month Jupiter
(our financial planeD will pass be-
tween Saturn and the Sun. This un-
usual position of the planets undoubt-
edly give us an oportunity to see some
panoramic scenes.
Wednesday and Thursday, the 23d
and Gath, will be the best days of the
month TO fish; and the next best days
will be the Sd. 4th,. 14th. 18th and 10th.

take to put them into colors. There are
plenty OF inexpensive materials In
white to choose from to make varle-

to creep she can have little dimlty
creeping frocks or even brown holland
ones to put on over the white frock.
and in that way the fashion Is not so
expensive a one as 1t seems. II extra
warmth Is desired. 1t can be obtained
by thin flannel worn under the frock.
Very long wasted effects are now
fashionable as soon as children are
put into short clothes. The waist IS a
mass OF horizontal tucks and lines of
embroidery, with rutiles put on in
bertha style around the yoke or
guimpe. With these frOcks there are
white sashes OF the same material
edged with lace or soft ribbon sashes
in bright colors and for smart occa-
sions shoulder knots Of ribbons 10
match the sashes. Colored socks and

WASHINGTON LETTER
lSpecial Correspondence.

The land necessary for the establish
ment of a filtration plant adjoining the
Howard university reservoir on the
east passed to the government the 9th
or day. when the final payments on II
were made. The government now has
for this purpose n little more than 40
acres. the land lately acquired costing
- cents per square foot. This area
includes the streets running east and
west that are to be closed and which
of course have not been paid for. 1t
includes all the land between Cincin-
natl street to the Soldiers home and
from the reservoir to North Capitol
street. 1t extends n square farther
south than did tie estimate for the
land Of the original project and takes
in a narrow strip Of land between the
reservoir and First street and north
of Baltimore street.
This increased area was purchased IN
order TO provide sufficient land TO in
crease the capacity of the filter plant TO
10000. 600 gallons a day, which is the
full capacity of the tunnel to bring wa
ter To the reservoir. The original prof
Get provided only for capacity of co.
100000 gallons day, which is sufi-
cient for present necessities.

An American Salon.

There Is talk among artists and
persons Interested In art OF the estab-
llshment in Washington Of an Ameri-
can national gallery which shall do for
this country what the national gallery
does In London and the Louvre in
Paris. In spite OF the fact that the
American capital is not the American
metropolis Washington seems to be
the inevitable home OF such a gallery
when It comes. and II is surely COM
ing The present movement is credit
ed by the newspapers with the sup
port Of many of the ablest OF Ameri-
can painters and sculptors. A commit
tee which has 1t In charge includes In
its membership Sargent, Whistler, La
Fargo, Dlelman, Alexander, Macmon-
MES and many others. That there Is a
great future for art In America no one
can doubt, but due appreciation Is still
lacking In this country for the work Of
our own men, and the highest success
IN art does not yet bring in this coun-
Try rewards In reputation or In money
comparable to those attainable In Eu-

OF men as good and In many cases bet

CHOICE MISCELLANY
BrainIess Monkey.

No convincing proof has yet been
given that any particular portion Of
the brain is exclusively concerned In
intellectual operations. GOltZ, the most
prominent representative Of the dwin-
Jllng band who still refuse to believe
o. localization even Of the motor
ict.ons, has lately published an In
,cresting paper containing the results
Of observations on a monkey which
was carefully watched for IL years
after the removal OF the greater part
of the gray matter OF the middle and
anterior portions of the left hemisphere
Of the brain. The character Of the
animal, whose little tricks and pecul-
iarlties had been studied for months
before the operation, was entirely UNI
affected. All its talnts remained unal-
tered On the other hand, disturbances
OF movement on the right side were
very noticeable up TO the time Of It's
death. 1t learned again 10 use the
right limbs, but there was always a
certain clumslncss In their movements.
In actions requiring only one hand
the right was never willingly employ
ed, and 1t evidently cost the animal
a great effort To use II. Before the
operation 1t would give either the
right or left hand when asked for IL.
After the operation 1t always gave
the left until by long course OF train
Ing. In which fruit or Jumps Of sugar
served as the rewards Of virtue, 1t
learned again to give the right.-Pro-

How Australia Was Opened Up.

The greatest southern confederacy,
Australia, has a European population
exceeding 100000. but in 1900 its
1000 settlers did not even have coun-
try with recognized name. AS New
Holland 1t appeared on the best maps,
a featureless centrakarea, with Its out
lined coast largely conjectural. Sur
veys of the coast, begun by Bass and
Flinders, were finished by King, 1922;
Wlckham and Stokes, 1918. Inland,
Hughes solved the photographic prob
lem Of the Murray watershed. Eyre
traced the south coast along the Great
Australian blight. The central desert
was made known by Mitchell and
