To Be Business Like Campaign.
Mr.. Boardman says that the cam
paign will be conducted strictly along
g husiness-!ike basis. without any
fourishes and grandstanding. There
will be no Fourth of July celebra-
tons" in order to raise the money, but
each township and district will be
notified what it is expected TO Contrl-
butte, and it must be raised How it Is
raised is up to the local chairmen in
the various districts.
Marshall county has had no war
fund drive since last June for the rea-
son that at that time the local chap
ter secured a sufficient amount Of
money to meet the county's quota for
the national organization and have
balance for the purchase of supplies.
This balance. however is now oractl-
cally exhausted and in order to keep
up the work Of knitting sweaters and
making surgical dressings and gar
ments for refugees, the chapter must
have money with which to purchase
materials.

county will devote part Of their time
to sermons for the Red Cross. This

ELECTRIC SIGNALS.
Company Ordered to Take Extra
Care on Single Tracks.

In accordance with recommenda-
tions Of John A. Beeler, consulting
engineer Of the Public Utilities Com
mission. the commission yesterday d.
rected the Washington Railway ard
Electric Company to install an auto
matte electric signal at Nichols and
Alabama avenues southeast. the end
OF the Congress Heights line Of the
company; In place Of the hand signal
now in operation there.
The action Of the commission fol-
lowed an Investigation Of the. signal
now in use by Mr.. Beeler's once,
which was instigated following the
receipt by the commission Of several
complaints from citizens Of Congress
Heights regarding the danger that
might result from the careless ham
ding Of the present signal by the
employees Of the line.
The danger in this style Of signal
arises in the fact that It was dis
covered, through complaints OF Con-
gress Heights residents using the
line and the investigation conducted
by Mr.. BeeIer's Office, that some
motormen on the line have OF late
become careless, and neglect to set
the signal, thereby risking collision.
The street car company has been
requested to report to the Public
Utilities Commission within ten days
what steps 1t has taken toward the
installation Of automatic signals

THURSDAY, MAY 10. 1918.

An uncertain day, according to
astrology. Although the Sun rules
strongly for good. Neptune. Jupiter,
Mars and Saturn are all adverse.
The stars seem to indicate much
activity on the part OF both the army
and navy.
Whatever the planets may Indicate
regarding the war appears to be for
tunate for the heads of the govern
ment departments, who will be better
understood and more praised than
formerly.
Congress, however, continues under
a rule of the stars that makes for
criticism Of war operations or condi-
tions. party disagreements and heated
oratory.
This should be an auspicious gov
ernment under which 10 seek employ
ment in high or humble place.
A storm OF disaster that will affect
agriculture in the West is foreshad-
owed.
Danger Of losses in live stock may
be greatly increased during the next
week.
The position OF all persons in
| places in the sun" seems to be at
tended by unusual perils. since the
stars show a strong and persistent
evil direction making for envy, hatred
and deeds of violence.
Reforms that will benefit little
children and reduce mortality in great
cities are subject to a sway tnat is
helpful. Success will presage estab-
lished measures for permanent pro-
lection and care OF the poor.

called the "children's year." the first
