HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, September IL, 1918.

This is a threatening day in
planetary sway. according to astroI-
ogy. Saturn. Neptune, the Sun and
| Uranus are all in malefic aspect.
During the configuration care
should be taken to pursue routine
work, for the forces that thwart
and disturb are strong.
Saturn, which has menaced mines
and mining. now makes 1t plain to
the seers that there may be much
anxiety that will be increased by
strikes or labor difficulties.
This is not a fortunate rule for
Journeys, especially those made on
the water.
There is sign read as presaging
an explosion or bombing of serious
import, either on the coast or in
the sea not far from land.
There continues to be read in
the stars warning that the aged
VIII pass away in great numbers
The procession of nature will be
quickened. since the new era is
for the young
The sign that governs favors
from persons in high position is
exceedingly sinister. Those who
seek appointments or preferment
should not make any move during
this configurstion.
Uranus Is in an aspect making
Tor many competitions in public
life. There is likely to be much
ambition that will lead to serious
riValries in government DEPART
ments as well as in the army and
navy.
The new year will be marked
by many changes among men in
high place. This apparently means
lawmakers and leaders of men in
the military and naval service pro-
motions and honors will come to
many who rise on fallen heroes Of
action.
Again warning is given against
the uttering OF criticism or the
harooring of destructive opinions
The influence of uncharitabIe
thoughts as well as unkind word.
Will be counted as important
Persons whose birthdate II Is NAV
nave a year of many difficulties
They should guard against decan-
tion and intrigue.
Children born on this dav NAV

ture. These subjects of Virgo .ra

Jane Helps to Feed a

IF it's Bob's war. it's my war,

him win it?''. l asked myself that
night my husband left for France. At
such a mad rate have my personal af-
fairs been racing lately that I'm

Mother Lorimer and I were taking
Baby Bwawa for her drive and as we
turned into the Bridgeport road we
found that pretty suburb Of the city
seething with excitement.

Evan Palmer, her son, had warned
her that be would be coming through
town with some motor lorries-and
also a few friends-about the middle
of the week, but he was not at liberty
to be more definite. And she wrote
back promising to get him and his
party a big dinner-home cooking.
Now Martha. Evans wife, came
from town twenty-five miles west,
and she wired her family to phone her
when the Federal caravan pulled
through their town.
About II O'clock this morning the
call came. And Evans friends, 1t
appeared, numbered Just ninety

WALSH AFTER
LAND BARONS
Would Take Over Their
Unused Land for
Soldiers.

Returning soldiers should not be
compelled to go to distant places to
locate while people In their own
neighborhoods own large areas Of
unused land" This is the conviction
OF Hon. Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the National War Labor Board,
expressed yesterday at the afternoon
session Of the meeting of the national
conference OF Catholic Charities, at
the Catholic University.
Persons having more land than
they can use should be compelled to
sell to the government at a fair price
that It may be distributed among the
returned soldiers" said Mr.. Walsh.
Mr.. Walsh's idea is Narticularly
interesting in view OF the plan which
Secretary Lane, of the Interior, dis
cussed on Sunday. at the conference,
of establishing returned soldiers on
the lands in the North and the North
west which need to be reclaimed.
The scheme of utilizing unused lands
throughout the country is a new
aspect of the same agricultural idea
OF placing returning soldiers at work
on the land.
Walsh declared, I'VE must make sure
that serfdom is not recognized In our
own country"
No more right to quit his post to
strike is due the laborer who makes
a rifle than the soldier who fires that
rife, was the contention of Miss
Josephine J. Eschenbrenner. OF the
National Child Labor Committee, at
the morning session.
THE nation is using two great
armies in waging this war" said Miss
Eschenbrenner, "the army in the
field and the army at home making
supplies. The soldier in the field ha 3

they used TO keep for bridge par

Somebody set flowers on each ta-
