1t is predicted that although lack
of money may cause temporary de-
preston in certain centres of popula-
ton, a period of prosperity will be-
gin next month when Venus, sta

Astro!ogers predict that new towns

architects have lucky leading. it is
said.
The rise of a famous educator is
prognosticated. Reforms in public
schools are again indicated.
Publishing will be subject to many
vicissitudes in the next few months,
the seers declare. Certain magazines
and newspapers will benefit. but
others will suffer severe losses. Max
ers of books in this country will face
problems which affect American au-

When Gordon Went to Dane
ing School

Gordon! Gordon, Do hurry or you
will be late again for dancing school.
Nancy! Nancyl / wish you would
stop calling me. as | can't hurry any
more, and, besides, my slippers are
nowhere in sight.
But, alas, just as Gordon made that
remark Nancy gave him the silk bag
with both pairs of slippers in.
Just then the door bell rang and
Gordon knew 1t was his place to take
both his sister Nancy and her friend
Olive to dancing school, and, worse
of all, just think of 1t, He had to
dance with Olive. After Nancy and
Gordon invited Olive in to say good
by to their mother the three finally
started for the horrld old place, as
Gordon called it.
Now, Gordon did not like to go to
dancing school because there were too
many girls, and besides he had to
dance with them. OF course, Gordon
knew Nancy just loved to dance, but,
then, why couldn't She, as Nancy was
a girl and girls don't feel as clumsy
as boys? Well what I wish TO write
about happened on a Saturday, the
very day the three went to the class
together. Instead OF forming in limo

room unnoticed; but with a very new
idea. He would learn to dance, and
properly at that, as long as mother
made him. SO he put on his slippers
and started to dance. and thus Nancy

Robert, the Young inventor
by HARRY BERLIN.

In the small village of Belmont
in the northern part of New York
lived a blind man with his son,
Robert. Robert was healthy,
strong and manly boy of fourteen.
When Robert was two years OF
age his mother deserted him because
she did not like to live In small
village and she was used to the en-
joyment of the great city Of New
York.
About two years after his father
was head mechanic in u local firm,
where an explosion occurred, blind
ing his father. After an operation
hope was given up for his recovery.
But as Roberts father saved a little
and earned a little it was all right,
because he did not have TO worry
about his future life But one day
in the village Of Belmont a strange
character arrived A ragged tramp
asked many questions about Roberts
father, That night at II o'clock this
man entered the house of this blind
man and broke open the safe and
was ready to take the bills when
Robert heard a noise, and, picking

FRIDAY. ocToBER 30. 1919.

According to astrology this is not
a lucky day for most business &C
tivities. Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn
are adverse and Neptune alone liz
friendly.
The aspect of Neptune is read as
most encouraging to all who are en-
gagged in world commerce. Shipping
is subject to rule that will develop
immense avenues of trade. Warning
is given, however, that avarice may
cause serious difficulties.
There is sign today that is be-
lieved to indicate severe anxieties for
the President of the United States,
who should guard his health through
the next month.
There is a sinister representation
for miners, persons who deal in land
and coal merchants. Saturn's evil
power may produce strikes, loss of
business and grave conditions in the
industrial world.
In this connection intense activity
on the part of Socialists is feretold.
They will make astonishing gains and
will achieve positions Of power with-
in the next year.
The configuration today is not a
fortunate one for bankers, flnanciers
and spectators.

DISHES FOR SUMMER
MENU SHOULD BE SUITED TO
TEMPERATURE.
Some Hints That Ma, Help House
wife to Set Out TEMP Ing Meal
That Will Be Enjoyed
by Family.

In winter the curling steam from
floury potatoes, the fragrant odor from
the uncovered joint, the rich brown
gravy, are all attractive, but in hot
weather-ugh!
Here are some practical hints which
may help. Non. Is expensive:
First, the table. is the setting to
a meal, and should be made to look as
cool and as attractive as possible.
Make it look inviting" in every sense,
with flowers, fish and ferns. Little
ferns are cheap enough. Regularly wa
tered, occasionally repotted. and given
two or three drops of castor oil four
times year. they are permanent
possession.
Now, for the food. Have you tried
cold soup? 1t must be well strained
free from fat, of medium thickness.
This makes a most satisfying summer
dish.
Cold meat is not attractive, and
stews and hashes are worse-in sum
mer! After joint has appeared once
it is best to cut the meat into very
thick slices, and trim into outlet
shapes, and fry as you would do fish,
after dipping into egg and bread
crumbs. Potatoes, too, are much bet
ter mashed, cut into squares, and
baked till the outsides are a nice
brown.
Fish should always be served with
frill of parsley or lettuce leaves. A
sliced tomato, some watercress. some
pieces of lemon-this at once tempts
tired man to eat.
Salads and salad dressings are most
important adjuncts to food In summer
With a well-made salad the man for
gives the cold mutton! Here Is sim
pie, yet quite nice, salad. 1t dispenses
with other vegetables. Slice up 9
small cooked caulifiower, two or three
potatoes, two lettuces, one large to
mato, a beetroot and a cucumber. Add
little finely scraped horse radish.
So, with the table nicely laid, at
tractive with ferns and flowers, spot
less tablecloth and the food daintily
put before him, the breadwinner ID
certain to be more than satisfied.

In Sumner county, Tennessee, lives
an Irish magistrate, man of liberal ed
ucation and full quota of that mother
wit for which his people are noted. A
short time ago negro pair named Jim
and Bet called upon the Squire TO be

the latter. Having had some notice of
their com ing, he prepared and actually
used this unique ceremony:
Jim. will you have Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and to cherish,
Till one of you perish
And is laid under the sod,
So help you God?''
Jim then gave the usual answer, and
the Squire turned to Bet:
"Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him TO your heart
Till death do you part p
Bet modestly agreed that she would
