If one is troubled with a leaky fountain pen the application of little soap to the threads of the screw will work magic. If the pen is emptied thoroughly cleaned, filled and the soap applied there will be no more trouble until the pen needs filling again.

This year fur is likely to be more law

ties of fur that only the very rich or
the very extravagant can afford to have
them in really fine pelts.

Moleskin has been rather extensively
used by the French designer as a fabric

began yesterday. so the Cir! Reporter fol-

! And il was no easy task to find Mr.. A.

man who sits at his desk and directs his
business over telephone wires. He is

HOROSCOPE.


Inc stars incline. but do not compel
Tuesday, October IL, 1918.
Good influences prevail today, ac-
cording to the reading Of astrology,
since Mars. Neptune and Uranus are
all In benefic aspect The Sun and
Venus are slightly adverse.
This should be a particularly IA
vorable time for surgeons. physicians
and pharmacists. Hospitals are under
direction said to be most beneficial
SO far as administration and improve
ment are concerned. but their prosper
ity indicates increase in accidents and
illnesses. Riots and strikes will con-
tribute patients.
All the indications point toward
prosperity for engineers. carpenters,
contractors. machinists and lumber
men. Mars today gives promise of ac-
tivity in Mexico as we'll as tho United
States.
Stockraisers have a direction that
! continues extraordinarily good. There
is. however. a prophecy of a cattle war
and losses through severe weather.
Success through resourcefulness and
courage is supposed to be encouraged
during this configuration.
This should be good day for solic-
itors and collectors. Political workers
have a lucky omen.
The death of a governor of a State
is foretold. 1t may be tragic or SEN
sational.'
Inventions and research work are
subject to the best guidance, while
Uranus exercises kindly power.
The planets indicate for the first
part Of next month possible trouble In
either Algeria or Morocco
Chicago will be the center Of ex-
element about holiday time when
strikes. probably in the stockyards
will cause loss Of life.
Storms on the Pacific Coast will
cause destruction next month
Financial problems relating to the
United States postoffice may reach
critical stage in the early part Of the
new year.
The seers predict that the rise of
a theatrical star. the son Of an actor,
will mark the history of the drama
during the next decade.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the forecast of a year of change and
travel. They will benefit in financial
affairs.
Children born on this day probably
will be restless. ambitious and strong
willed. Both boys and girls are likely
TO succeed with little exertion.

AND NOgH2S
October 12-Helena Modjeska.

Without doubt one of the half dozen
tury was Helen Modjeska. who was born
at Cracow. Poland. October u. 1874 She
came of an artistic Polish family COM
posed of players and musicians. and her
father. Michael Opido. gave her thor
ough musical and dramatic education. At
the age of Il she made her debut as an
actress. The year before she had married
a man named Modrejewski. from whom
she took her stage name of Modjeska.
Later she married Charles Bozenta CHA
powski. a brilliant Polish journalist, and
with him she came to this country. owing
to the disfavor with which his political
views were regarded in the old country.
They settled in Los Angeles Cal. where
they hoped to form Polish colony. but
before MANY months had passed the ac-
;rcss and her husband had lost all that
they put into the venture. They had
hoped to succeed as agriculturists. al
though they were practically ignorant Of
the first thing about farming.
Modjcska had risen high in ner art In
Poland and when she found that she and
her husband were financially ruined she
decided TO turn her attention to the stage.
Within a very short time she mastered
the English language and achieved great
success from the start of her American
work. Modjeska was one of the most
cultivated and accomplished of all the
actresses of her time. She was conver-
SAINT with French. German. and English.
as well as with her native language; she
was a skllful painter s well as an excel
