HOROSCOPE
Saturday. April Fl. 1917.

Astrologers read for this day an
unfavorable morning and a lucky
afternoon. Saturn and Uranus are
adverse in the early hours but Jup-
tier and Venus are friendly later.
Neptune is in a very evil place late
in the evening.
The luaatiOn OF this date is not
encouraging for world affairs. In
congress the utmost strain is
presaged, for foreign affairs will be-
come very critical. In the United
States industrial unrest will be
ominOus in many quarters, it is
predicted. Saturn is in a place de-
noting the death Of a statesman or
diplomat.
England will suffer from certain
revenue conditions that may affect
Canada and the country may be
much disturbed by internal troubles.
Although there may be much dis
cussion Of peace. the seers do not
discover any hope that il will be
brought about before the next win

undertaken in the afternoon.

fortunate time for all who work
with students or young folk.
Colleges and all seats OF learning

Serious Observation-Disclosures be-

Persons whose birthdate it is

which is now the law of the land.

which is now the law of the land.
The first is that next Tuesday,
June 5, is the date for this regis
tration. The second is that
every man who is 81 and who
has not attained his 31st BIRTH
day must register, unless he is
already in the military or naval
service. No other date will DO
on which to register. Tuesday,
June S, is the only registration
day. If men between the ages
specified do not register on that
day, they must take the conse-
quences. The consequences pro-
vided by the law may be a years
Imprisonment, and in the present
condition of the public mind the
courts are likely to give the full
penalty. There is nothing OPP
tional about this registration in
the case of those to whom it
applies. They must register or
go to Jail.
Nor can any man between
the draftable ages escape the
obligation Of registration by
pleading that he is unfit for mill
tary service. That is another
question to be determined later.
The thing he has got to do next
Tuesday is to go to the registra-
ton office and have his name re-
corded. If he should be sum-
moned to a military training
camp subsequently. he can then
plead his disability. But next
Tuesday there is but one thing
for him to do. land that is to be
sure that he is enrolled. In
Maryland the. probabilities are
that only about one man out OF
ten registered next Tuesday will
be drafted for service. So that
being on the registration books
does not necessarily mean being
called out for training.
It will be mistake to imagine
that you can dodge or hide from
Uncle Sam. or fool him about
your age. Those who try to do
this will get themselves into SER
ious trouble. Patriotic people in
every neighborhood will keep an
eye on shirkers. and will take
pleasure in reporting them.
The safest way next Tuesday
will be the honest way and the
patriotic way.

HARRIET V. RICHARDS, Defendant
..-.I In the Circuit Court for Prince
Georges County, Maryland,
No. 1907 Equity

No. 1907 Equity
NNHE object of this suit is to secure q
J. decree of divorce vinculo matrl-
against the Defendant.
The Bill states that the Complainant
is now and for more than two years
last past has been resident of Prince

heard of by the Complainant at Bing-
hamtou, State of New York; that the
Complainant and Defendant were

Rev. Father Kelly on April Sth. 1908;
and that the Complainant and Defen-
dant lived together as man and wife at
the District of Columbia until July 30,
1910, and were there living at Congress
Heights, when on said July Both, 1910,
the defendant without any Just cause
abandoned the Complainant, and that
such abandonment has continued unin-
terruptedly for more than three years
last past and is deliberate and final, and
the separation of the parties beyond
reasonable expectation of reconclla-
ton: that the conduct of Complainant
towards Defendant has always been
proper and beyond reproach; and that
there was one child of said marriage. a
daughter. The Bill praYs for decree
of divorce a vinculo matrimonii, and
for further relief as may be necessary,
and for an order of publication against
the Defendant, a non resident OF the
State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon this 23rd day of May,
1917, ordered bv the Circuit Court for
Prince Georges County. Maryland,
that the Complainant, by causing a
copy of this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in said
Prince Georges County once in each OF
four successive weeks before the 25th
day of June, 1917, give notice to the
said Harriet " Richards, Defendant,
nonresident of the State of Mary
land, of the object and substance OF
this Bill, warning her to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor on or
before the 18th day of July. 1917, to
show cause, if any she has why de-
cree should not be passed herein as
prayed.

Join The Navy.

Within the next few days Maryland
will be assigned. by the Bureau OF
Navigation, new quota of Navy re-
cruits as it's share in bringing up the
aquatic arm of the country's defense
to 1901 men in accordance with a
bill recently passed by Congress.
1t is expected, by the Navy recruit
ing authorities at Baltimore, that the
State will be asked to supply not less
than 1900 men.
It is not believed likely that the pro-
visions of the Selective Draft Bill will
apply to the Navy. Men for the coun-
try's first line of defense will be raised
by the volunteer system. This will
give the young men of the State an
opportunity to choose the branch Of
service in which they will serve.
By selecting the Navy. a young man
chooses an opportunity to become a
line officer in the United States Navy
without passing through the Naval
Academy. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has decided that in the future
100 bright young men will be picked
each year from the enlisted personnel
and sent to the Naval Academy.
Besides this number, hundreds of
men from the enlisted ranks will be
given commission in the line.
This will leave vacancies that will be
| filled from the ratings below them, and
no ambitious young man need reach
the point in the Navy where he will re-
main in the lower ratings.
Before reaching the stage where he
is eligible to selection either for the
Naval Academy examination or an ap-
pointment as line officer, the enlisted
man in the Navy finds himself engaged
in an avocation that is unusually inter-
esting and for which the pay and al
lowances are great deal better than
is offered in the average position in
civilian life.
Men in the Navy have the opportuni'
ties to see the world, for which civilians
must pay extensively. The battleships
of the United States 60 to nearly every
port in the world, and it would be i'm
possible to imagine another avocation
in which young man would get these
advantages of travel.
The Navy recruiting authorities of
the Maryland District are doing every
thing in their power to get the advan-
tages of the Navy before the young
men of the State.
Arrangements have been made
whereby information concerning the
Navy can be obtained from every post
master in the State.
The age limits for enlistment are
from II to IS years. Minors must,
however, have the written consent
of their parents, or legal guardian, and
in order that these may be presented
in the proper manner, forms have been
provided by the Navy Department and
AN be procured from the postmasters
the various cities and towns through
he State.
