LONDON TO HONOR FRANKLIN
Movement to Set Up Statue of Philoso-
pher In Chapel Where He
Worked as Printer.

Few London people would connect
romance with the name of Benjamin
Franklin, but there is chance that he
may be concentrated in the most ro-
mantle Of England's few medieval
churches, st. Bartholomew, Smith
field
Some one has discovered from the
parish rate books that he once worked
at the case in an office housed in his
day in the Lady Chapel of the church.
Franklin records that he was en-
ployed on setting up the second edi-
ton Of Woolastons Religion of Ma
ture" and in that book there is a
quaint little engraving showing the
top floor of the factory with the COM
positors racks.
The posts of these racks were still
there in 1885 before the Lady Chapel
was cleared Of it's workaday fittings
and prepared for worship again.
In the wall over the Lady Chapel
altar land in Franklin's day actually
IN the printing ROOM are five tall
alches, probably filled with figures of
saints before the Reformation. 1t is
now proposed to commemorate Frank
lin by placing one or more female
saints" in these inches.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1914.

Astrology finds this an auspicious
day for the pursuit of many lines of
business, since the Sun, Mars and Mer.
curry are all in benefic aspect Nep-
tune is mildly adverse.
Under this government it is be-
lleved that the planets operate most
helpfully for all who mr3t make i'm
portant decisions regarding future
policies. Diplomats, rulers of state
or nation and all persons in authority
| should benefit.
1t is time held as favorable for
bespeaking friendship or cooperation
on the part of those who are of su-
perior station or power. The stars
promise good luck to all who seek ia
vors from men and women in places
of authority.
Mars is believed to impart strength
and activity to the body and to give
impetus toward success. Whatever
Is carried on out of doors is particu-
larly favored under this rule.
Athletics are subject to the best In
huences. 1t is a day in which en-
forced activities, physical and mental,
are supposed to be greatly acceler-
ated.
Politicians should benefit from this
confguration, which is said to impart
resourcefulness and perseverance.
Relief and cure for those who are ill
and worried is made easier by the as
pect, the seers declare.
Astrologers counsel the cultivation
OF poise and fortitude, for the stars
foreshadow much anxiety and uncer-
tainty during the coming months.
They find that planetary conditions
are SO sinister that persons in every
walk of life will be affected mentally,
even though they may not have any
material cause for depression and un-
happiness.
Today's aspect is not good one for
Investments or speculation. 1t is we'll
70 guard against fraud and deception
while it prevails.
Persons whose birthdate il is have
a happy augury for the wear They
should be fairly lucky in financial mat
-ers. Those who <are employed how
ever, should be cautious to give good
service.
Children born on this day are likely
10 be exceedingly bright and indus
.rious. They may be inclined toward
9gotlsm, but they will have more than
he average of success.
