This is a lucky day, according to as

urn gives high promise to those who
have suffered or met with misfortune,
Again extremes will be apparent in
human experience and those who oc-
cupy the middle ground will receive
fewer benefits than those who nave

Saturn seems to promise for the aged
who survive through the year honors
and happiness, but the new era will
belong to the very young. .
This is a fortunate cay for all who
seek to improve their financial condi-

Public ownership will be much dis
cussed In the next few months and

st. LOuis.-Rollers employed at the

the National Enameling and Stamping
company are making as much as s215
a week, working eight hours a day, an

He explained that rollers were paid

many of the 175 rollers employed in
the two plants average $4,000 to $1,000
a year.
Rolling steel is one Of the forms Of

their apprenticeship in three or four
years. The work consists of superin-
tending the heating of steel bars that
are to be rolled, adjusting the rolls
and feeding the steel into them.
