HOROSCOPE
FEB. IS. 1918.

According to astrology this is a
most favorable day. all the infu-
ences being read as stimulating and
encouraging. Jupiter. Neptune. Sa-
turn and the sun are in benefc as
pect.
The stars seem to encourage trade
and especially initiative in new lines
of commerce. There is a sign read
as promising for novel enterprises
brought about by changed world
conditions.
This should be a fortunate day
for all who go to sea and warning
is given to make the most of every
suspicious sway. for over the wa
ters broods peril greater than any
that has yet menaced the United
States.
Today should be most profitable
for all who deal in oil or oil pro-
ducts, but the same planets that
smile on that profits by
petroleum also promise a substitute
which will seem as miraculous as
the turning of water into wine" the
seers declare.
This is an suspicious day for all
who seek the favor of persons in
high place and there will be va
cancies much coveted before the
summer, astrologers perdict. These
will occur not only in the army but
in various government positions.
This should be a day fairly fortu-
nate for mining interests. and espe-
cially for those connected with cop
per.
Under this rule Of the planets,
which is supposed to accentuate en-
ergy and egotism. warning is given
that danger will Turk where persons
new to authority in army or navy
become too se~lf-assertive.
Again it is prOphesied that 1918
will be marked by surprises of every
sort. Sensational occurrences will
becomN common as the tardy spring
advances.
All the influences seem TO focus
good and bad conditions for women.
In other words they will experience
the greatest extremes.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a successful year.
Those who are employed may ex-
pect promotion. The young viii
court and marry.
Children born on this day are
likely to be generous and trust
worthy. Many future statesmen
come under this sign.

. GAS DIsAGREEs WITH GERMANS
Saginaw News.)

Not the least Interesting phase of the German
propaganda campaign is that directed at the Geneva
convention TO have the use OF poisonous gas i'm warfare
discontinued. There is hut one difficulty in the way Of
the propaganda being successful; the powers fighting
Germany would cheerfully abandon the use of gas at
once. but there could De no guarantee established that
Germany would do SO. No promise or pledge Of Ger
many can be accepted. no Luarantee of Germany can
be looked upon as of any higher value than a mere
scrap of paper which is Germany's own valuation If
such things.
Il is nevertheless a very interesting bit OF business.
this indirect attack of Germany upon the use Of gas
i'm warfare. For until Germany Violated all rules IF
warfare and introduced the use OF kas at the Yprss
night of 1915. such things were unthought of In self
defense the British and French were compelled 10
adopt the use OF gas. and they became so proficient
at the Germany game as to establish superiority. both
in d~eadliness of the gas they made and efficiency in its
use.
This is not only the case. but one OF the most adj
Ivertised features OF the threatened German offensive
of 1918 is the use Of a poisonous gas OF such deadly
properties that an others become insignificant in COM
parisou. German psychology appears 10 De as tortuous
in this gas question as IN all other matters.

ton with the movement in New York state that wom-
en- should assume part of the burden of serving on
juries. that the old toast, The women, God bless
them" should be amended so as 10 read, THE wo-
men, God help them"
1t is true that the average man of business does not
find jury duty congenial. and that the sam thing will
be true Of women when the novelty has worn Oft.
But the suggestion that the women need Divine help
is "A tride homogeneous. nevertheless. considering the
ability displayed by them in recent years in helping

Thanks, senator. The public will feel more like avail

insurance, and the average amount of their policies is

the average civilian, and pay a great deal less for it.

Cotton

The feature of the cotton market
yesterday was a severe break in the
late afternoon following a report that
the President had been asked by the
Fuel Administrators of several Eastern
States to declare Monday a holiday
each week in these states until the
fuel problem had been solved. Its sig
nificance to the cotton market lay in
the fact that such action would mean
decided reduction in consumption by
New England mills, estimated by some
at around 10000 bales per month. With
consumption for December already a.
600 bales smaller than in November.
and 10000 bales less than in December
last year, according to the census fig
ures issued yesterday morning, and
due chiefly to fuel shortage and trans
portation difficulties, any action
which would tend to increase
these figures was considered an
argument in favor of lower prices,
and there was aggressive short
selling in the late afternoon as we'll
as by the South for hedging purposes.
Flnal pricces were at about lowest of
the day and 8 to 10 points under the
previous night.
The market opened steady, and to
IL points higher, ignoring temporarily
the bearlsh consumption figures on the
idea that they were mostly due to con-
ditions other than a check in the de-
mland for goods. Continued trade buy
ing on rather liberal scale advanced
the market later about 25 to 26 points
net higher and conditions remained
ialrly steady throughout the middle of
the day although later the selling pres
sure from the South increased and
there were reports Of easier spot mar
kets in the Southwest and at New
Orleans, In contrast to which good
demand for spots was reported in the
Eastern belt, where Texas shippers
were said to be trying to find cotton
to supply Carolina mills.
late wire from Houston. Texas. said
that cotton below middling was press
ing tor sale at tenderable basis be-
cause the carrying discounts were tire
some. On the other hand, 80 cents
was reported paid for white cotton all
through the Atlantic belt on Monday
and spot firm here sold 500 bales of
strict mlddling cotton at 341ac on the
moor OF the exchange. Most of the
SoAiy tA"ue OuylnB was IN March con-
tracts.
Over the Southwest dry weather still
prevails, but there was heavy rainfall
IN the Eastern states, to be followed,
1t was predicted, by cold wave. The
Liverpool market was quiet, with q net
advance of to 19 points. Exports to :
day were 7,774 bales, making 2,227,981
so far this week. Southern spot mar
kets as officially reported were Is
points higher to 25 points lower.
