Saturday, February 10. 1918.

Astrologers read this as an unfortu-
nate day. Early in the morning
Neptune, Mercury and Saturn are all
in evil place. Mercury changes in
benefic aspect, but this is ominous.
There is today a warning sign that
seems to presage losses and disasters
on the sea. An increasing activity for
the nayies of the world is fore
shadowed and a great battle is proph-
esied early in the spring or summer.
Neptune is the planet that. when
inimical, aids the enemy in treachery
and new plots OF extraordinary cum
ming are to be discovered before the
grass is green.
Under this rule all the laws of san
itation should be scrupulously OBJ
served as contagious diseases are en-
couraged.
1t is a sway under which poisons
are to be watched for and water may
be made the death draught for thou
sands"
Saturn again foretells trouble for
whatever is concerned with mining.
There n danger OF serious discredit for
men in high place, as Neptune is read
as aiding misrepresentation, criticism
and even scandal.
With all the i'll omens that seem to
threaten there is still for the United
States the unfaltering prophecy that
the wonderful star of destiny, which
always has guided. will bring to pass
surprising things and it is predicted
that suddenly the nation will be de-
livered from paying the supreme price
Of war.
The seers declare that the Emperor
Of Germany has a superstition con-
corning America and that he desires
to save the United States from suffer-
ing that will cut off his people from
brotherhood with its citizens. For this
reason he has prevented "frightful-
ness that will be practiced after
May !.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have a trying year. Business and
litigation may cause trouble.
Children born on this day may be
headstrong and restless under con-
troll. These subjects of Aquarius gen.
orally have strong likes and dislikes
and often are very psychic.

Chocolate Bar Days in Oregon.

Chocolate Bar Days" when con-
tributions are taken to buy choco-
late bars for the Oregon boys in the
service. is the latest plan of college
girls at the Oregon State Agricultural
College. Women Of the home eco
nomics department of this school are
also supplying boxes of food to the
college boys who have gone at a re-
markably small price. They have sent
200 boxes filled with war cake, fruit,
CONNECTIONS, nuts, popcorn balls, oat-
meal cookies. and salted peanuts, to
the Oregon men at the cost of 20
cents a box. The candies were all
made of sugar substitutes, such as
honey and corn syrup.
A card index of the 1000 University
of Washington men now in the army
and navy is being compiled by
girls at the University of Washing

students may be supplied with the

Children are the most interesting

her very unhappy about him.
She went cut Of the room. leaving
him alone. After q time he came out
and turning the tables. he said, 81

much else she would not hurt my

Eleine answered him calmly, ''You
remember. Toddy, how you answered
mother when she spoke to You about
putting away your booksT'
Toddy ignored her remark, and with
pitiful little pucker on his mouth he
lifted his eyes to her face and said.
Aren't you a bit sorry you were un'
kind to meT'
He is simply unconquerable." said
Eliene to me later. IT don't know
how to manage that phase Of his char
acter at all. He seems TO have coms
into life armed with the philosophy
that others impose on him. He is never
in the wrong. 1t simply does not

ever may be the reason for correct

Women's Part in InternatiouaIism

The great lesson of the war is
the new internationalism," said Mrs
Nellie L. McClung, OF Edmonton
Alberta, a prominent Canadian war
worker.
1--WE are not citizens Of Canada,
OF the United States. or OF Britain
only; we are all citizens of the
world. and no part of the world can
live unto itself alone" said Mrs.
McClung. I'VE are bound together
either by the cords of love or by
the chains of death. We are not
free while any part OF the world is
bound. The world is not safe for
any of us until 1t is safe for every
one.
This makes living a very serious
business. When a woman sees her
boy go out to kill, or to be killed
she loses from her life some of the
spirit of youth; she can no longer
| be deceived into believing that all
is we'll with the world. Women are
the last reserves of the nation, and
they have never yet exerted their
full influence. They have Jagged
behind the men in their development.
But the women are being awakened,
and a mighty influence for good,
for kindness. for human safety Is
being felt in human affairs.

Department projects anticipated.
Unwise TO Fool Public.
1T is unwise to give the public err
roneous impressions. 1t Is unwisc to
give the public the impression that we
are doing less than we actually are,
or to hold up to criticism those things
whereon criticism is unwarranted. But
as far as possible the whole truth in
matters OF this sort when a military
secret 10 not disclosed should be
stated"
The Senator disclaimed charges that
the war probe had been based upon
personal bias against Secretary Baker.
There has been no attempt to
cruelty anyone" he declared. Never
in my Congressional experience has
an investigation been conducted more
fairly. 1t was conducted on the prin-
ciple that the people have a right to
examine and regulate their admins

serted by Mr.. Weeks, who said;

Not a question involving partisan
ship was raised until the President
deliberately injected politics into the
situation by an attack upon the chair
man Of the committee, Senator Cham
berlain OemocraD, and the cimmit-
tee itself. and by calling to the White
House many Democratic party lead
ers, not for consultation purposes,
but to insist that a discussion Of this
question on the floor of the Senate
be prevented If possible"
IF I were to make a further criti-
cism it would relate to Mr.. Bakers
temperamental relationship to war.
Doubtless he himself would admit
that he is a pacifist by nature. For
example. he is even now opposed to
universal military training, one of the
benefits We ought to get out of the
great sacrifices We are making.
Il cannot divorce myself from the
conclusion. based on his own testi-
mony, that he has been inclined to
plan for the prosecution of the war
and this condition has to some degree
permeated the department-on the
basis that We are some 5000 miles
from the front instead OF Fastening

would exercise il our borders were the

industrial service section of the board,
telegraphed to local boards disapprov-
ing OF the locally proposed drafting
of the strikers.
Mr.. Hurley's hope is in his appeal
closing his telegram to Mr.. Hutcheson:
viii you ask the men now paralyz-
