came so rapidly into favor that more than a score of packing houses are now operated in that neigh borhood.
 In the opinion of connoisseurs the American sardine. when properly packed is equal to any of those inn ported The American packers made the mistake in the first place of put ting their product on the market as a substitute for, not as a competitor with, the French sardine. They en- deavored to cheapen the cost rather than to produce a high quality. As a result the American fish fell into dis repute and the price rapidly declined. The federal government is now trying to have the packers use more care and produce a better quality of goods.
 The American packer has handled the fish so carelessly that many have been broken and mangled. Tn 0 French use olive oil in packing. The Americans have been using cotton seed oil because it is cheaper. The French cook their fish in boiling oil before placing them in the cans. The Americans place the fish and oil in the cans and cook them in steam re- torts. the same process followed with sweet corn and tomatoes. These are the principal points of difference | which tend to give the foreign pro duct a superority, and on which tho 1 American packers are now changing l cir methods.
 Existing conditions will give Amer
 ican packers control of the sardine
 market and improved quality oi
 the product, if maintained, should en-
 able them to retain 1t.

A Pleasing Device.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.) )


 Intruding on party line has long been looked upon as a popular in door sport It is a pastime which tends to make long afternoons less tedious, and which greatly lessens the monotony of life. It has been re- garded as certain degree repre- hensible, and it's devotees are not, as a rule, boastful of their proficiency.
 Now an attempt has been made, with apparently some measure or success. to establish the pastime on a firm and legal basis.
 There is a man in Pasadena, Cal, who invented a device to protect the privacy of telephones. He did not put the invention on the market; he merely put it on his own telephone. When he was tclephoning the other lines all went dead through the workings of his little attachment.
 It was. apparently, wholly mat ter between the man and the tele- phone company. But one of the other users of the line--a woman-- did not sec it in that light, and had the inventor arrested for interfering with the telephone service.
 A wise judge has found the inventor guiltless of any wrongdoing. Ana the tactful telephone company has assuaged the anger of the woman subscriber by placing her on another party line which is not encumbereu by invention or inventor.
 Thus the rights of the "butter-ln are tacitly admitted: not by the courts, but the telephone company The knowledge of security is doubt less a comfort in many Pasadena homes.

New York Alien Labor Law.
(New York Tim mes.)


 MT. Gill of the Bricklayers' Union has frightened some of the subway contra ctors into stopping work lest they should be sent to jail for en- ploying alien laborers on their con- tracts The dual subway is being built as many miles of subway had been built, and yet nobody ever raised the point before. It IS ldle to ask why the point is raised now. Those familiar with labor troubles may have an idea, and may marVei that the trouble is not avoided Tn the manner in which many labor trou- bles are settled. Since that course Is not taken the situation may DO serious, although it appears absurd. The lower courts of this state nave decided that it is not a criminal act to hire foreign laborers. and that the law is unconstitutional.
 Moreover there is room to doubt whether the dual subway is such a work as the law would apply to, 1T if were a valid law. It is plain that the subway is not a city work in such a sense as the municipal build ing. built by the city for the city alone. The dual subway is a part nership affair, constructed by two private companies for their profit in the first place. and for the city's sole account only after prior claims have hcen satisfied. No doubt the title ,s in the city. subject to mortgage but the first parties in interest at thls stage are the operating companies. the city being in the background. It is not necessary to accept offhand opinion of the law as final. Compe- tent authority presumably can suG- eest some way in which the law may be satisfied and work proceed while the point is being litigated.
 It is demoralizing to think or speak of law in this manner, put there is no other recourse when th@ law is debased to sordid uses. IL false patriotism to make citiZenshll 1 the way to job. There are better l reasons for being citizens than that

 Mir. Osborne has some very positive ideas in regard to the punishment ot crime. one in particular being his op- position to capital punishment.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1914

This is a day of mingled good and
i'll planetary influences, for astrology
finds that Mercury is in an aspect
strongly benefc while Mars is ad-
verse.
The rule is auspicious for the sign
ing of contracts and for diplomatic
negotiations.
There is a sway that is held to be
promising fur literary work Of the best
standard. A woman will gain fame by
book of fiction that deals with future
world problems, the seers declare.
Trouble over the breaking of pacts
between nations is foreshadowed. Al
lies will disagree, it is predicted
Mars gives warning of desperate
strife that will be continued until ma
tions are almost wiped out. 1t is prog
nosticated that the war will be pro-
longed in quarters at first not much in
voIved in the world upheaval
The planet that presages conflicts
today makes menace against intoxica.

every sort.
London should benefit before tine

economy should be practiced by per

erly love will be demanded by the
world Evil will befall those who fail
to heed the call of universal brother
hood, the seers declare.
Residents of Calcutta have a sinis-

Dancing again comes under in

College sports are subject to a pros

lucky day for feats of physical
strength.
Persons whose birthdate it is should

Decision on "Recalp Law.

A suit to test the Washington law
for the recall of officers was heard by
the supreme court of the state in
Pybus VS.. Smith. city clerk, in which
the plaintiff, a councilman of the city
of Wenatchee, sought to have the city
clerk enjoined from calling a special
election to sMbmit the question of his
recall to the voters. 1t appeared that
the charge against the plaintiff was
that he agreed to and did trade votes
with Another councilman on matters
pending before the common council
but the plaintiff contended that the
charge was not one for which he could
be recalled. The lower court dismissed
the plaintiffs suit and in affirming the
judgment the supreme court said:
Whether this appellant could be
convicted of a misdemeanor in our
state upon the charge here made may
be regarded as somewhat doubtful
But we are, however, of the opinion
that the facts here charged against the
appellant. if true, do constitute NAL
feasance in office on his part, within
the meaning of that word as used in
our constitutional and statutory recall
provisions, and form sufficient legal
cause for submitting to the voters of
the city the question of his recall and
discharge from public office"

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914.

Astrology reads this as rather an
unimportant day in planetary direc-
ton, for, while in the early hours
Venus is in beneflc aspect, Uranus is
mildly adverse and there is no strong
government.
1t is a fairly good day for business
projects in which women are con-
cerned, but care should be exercised
to avoid misjudgment and miscalcula-
ton. There is an influence believed
to encourage deception and to render
difficult perception OF character and
motives that actuate important moves
in business.
1t is not a good aspect for begin
ming any work or for entering into
new business associations. Partner
ships and contracts are subject to an
evil leading.
There is said to be a tendency,
while this confguration lasts, to make
hasty decisions and to regret them
afterwards. Change of mind is more
frequent than at other times.
The seers prophesy that an era of
feminism, in its broadest sense. is at
hand. This has been long foretold
and has been scoffed at by skeptics,
but the loss of tens Of thousands OF
men in the war is declared to prove
that the prediction will be fulfilled
Owing to the fact that he new
moon will fall on the cusp of the sew
enth house with Mars and Venus
therein, the prospect Of speedy peace
in Europe is not encouraging. There
is a threatening sign for the navias
of the world and that of the United
States may be involved, especially in
the Pacific ocean.
The new moon for December threat
ems appalling loss Of life in the sea
and terrible railway wrecks. 1t is
also exceedingly bad for royalty.
Death will strike many in high posi-
tion-both men and women-the stars
announce.
Neptune in Leo will cause trouble
for Italy, 1t is foretold. There is also
an ominous sign for the Vatican.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of rather a quiet year. Re-
movals and changes are likely to be
unlucky.
Children born on this day may be
extremely restless and discontented
In nature. These subjects of Scorpio
should be taught to guard against
brusQueness, sarcasm and secretive-
ness.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1914.

Astrologers read this as an unim-
portant day, but the Influences are
generally good. The Sun and Venus
are both in benefic aspect.
1t is an auspicious time for confer.
ences and for making plans that con
cern important undertakings.
Rulers should benefit by the confg.
uration which is believed TO be conduc-
i've to broader sympathies and kindlier
motives. Kings and princes will suf-
fer from Illnesses, wounds and be-
reavements, the stars indicate, and
will recognize the democracy of grief.
The death Of royal parsonage, who
has brought upon his head the hate OF
nations, is prophesied. That he will
die from blow or a disease which af.
fects the brain is predicted.
This day should be most auspicious
for ministers and all who desire to
benefit humanity. New work in which
Protestants and Jews will join tOgeth-
er is prognosticated.
There is a sign interpreted as ind.
cative of Slavic dominion over a grea;
part of Europe and eventual trouble
with the allies Of the czar.
Danger Of pestilence is foreshad
owed and New York is daily warned
to safeguard its ports. A strange dis
ease which affects the nerves is also
prognosticated.
On this day the omens for love af-
fairs and romances Of every sort are
good.
Scandal at Washington is predicted.
Sensational disclosures that will dis
turb a department in the government
are foretold
Educational affairs should occupy
unusual attention, IL the astrologers
read the stars Alright. The colleges
will prosper greatly and will achieve
a new status through cooperation IN
state affairs, the planets announce.
Persons whose birthdate it is have a
lucy omen. Financial affairs should
prosper. Those who are employed
probably will be promoted
Children boS in this day have kind
ly stars to guide them. They should
be bright, active and fortunate in ali
their undertakings. Girls, however
may marry unhappily. They should
avoid men much older than them
selves.

Mars is declared to be martial,
inimical and wrathful, governing
oyilly, menacing the safety Of men
and women. The sign is read as
ominous for China and Japan.
There is a representation that the
races which represent civilization in
the western world must give way to
scm.har5aric peoples.
A foreign astrologer prophesies
that when peace in Europe is finally
declared all nations will be leveled to
the plane of a new democracy in

Children should be especially safe

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1914.

Astrologers warn against decisive
acts today, for the stars are uncer.
tain. While Mars is in benefic aspect
Venus and Saturn are strongly ad-
verse.
1t is a day supposed to be most
favorable for all who use weapons or
sharp-edged tools. Soldiers OF every
rank should benefit.
The aspect is believed to be bene-
fetal to surgeons, dentists, chemists
and all who alleviate human suffering.
Fame is foreshadowed for Americans,
who will demonstrate supreme skill
in foreign hospitals. One Of these
will receive remarkable honors.
The aspect should cause access of
energy, producing courage to under
take great enterprises Mars rules as
fortune-bringer for those who con-
duct, manage or execute.
Metallurgists, smiths, engineers,
miners and all who fight the forces of
nature or utilize them are said to be
under the best possible rule.
Venus gives warning to women that
they are to meet with many condi-
tions that test their powers. They
are to give their services in great
enterprises for aiding their fellow be-
ings While new opportunities are to
open to them they will meet heavy
responsibilities. In the humber vo-
cations competition will be intense.
Old persons should be particularly
