This is a day Of conflicting in

though the Sun. Uranus. Mercury
and Saturn are in benehc aspect.
Jupiter and Venus are strongly ad-
verse.
The rule is peculiarly unfavor-
able, since il brings fortunate con-
ditions, only that they may be spoil

denly shattered and ambitions
thwarted.
1t is sway especially sinister
for politicians or any persons who
invite public approval since they
may seem TO win attention only to
be passed by.
The seers again prophesy many
surprises in the elections and many
narrow escapes from defeat This
is said to be due to the insidious
power OF Uranus, which encourages
suspicion and pessimism-
This same malevolept star will
also bring about the discovery Of
some form Of treachery that IL has
encouraged when in a different as

more than one class Of traitors are
foretold. These will come some

PAYS FOR RUDENESS
TO FOOD INSPECTORS
Market Man Who Refused lnfor-
nation Gives $50 to Red Gross.

Because he refused to permit in
spectors of the Food Administration
to inquire into his business, Hal r.
Nelson. who runs the Lakewood
Market at 1850 P street northwest
has been ordered to contribute $50
TO the Red Cross.
Two inspectors OF the Administrs-
tion went to the market to look
into the prices which were being
charged. They approached the pro-
prietor and informed him of their
business. According to officials of
the Administration Nelson refused
to answer the questions which the
inspectors put to him and stated
that he was too busy TO be bothered
with them. He is said to have
stated that he had too many trou-
bles, personal and otherwise, to be
worried by them.
The inspectors reported the way
in which they had been treated and
the result of their investigation
Nelson was called before the Ad-
ministration and had the law laid
down to him. . He apologized to the
inspectors and promised to contrib
ute $50 to the Red Cross
This is the first time in the his
tory of the Administration that such
a thing has occurred. In all former
instances, officials of the Admins
tration have been treated with the
greatest consideration and courtesy
by the merchants. according to the
Food Administrator.
