Daily Horoscope
Wednesday, April 3, 1918.
Copyright, 1918, by the Mcclure

According to astrology this is a very
fortunate day, Uranus, Venus ana
Mercury are all in benefic aspect.
Especially will romance flourish un-
der this sway and love affairs will ao-
lsorb persons who have public atfairs at
stake.
Susceptibility to vibrations that af-
feet the emotions will be common
among leaders of thought and leaders
of men, the seerS declare.
While statesmen and diplomats, as
well as army and naval officers, are
affected by the rule of Venus and Ur-
anus, writer's will express the senti-
mentality of the war period, astrol-
ogers declare.
This Is interpreted to mean that
poets and novelists of high ideals will
develop. There is a sign today that
warns of treachery on the part OF
some power that is associated with the
allies. This sign appears to indicate
trouble in the Orient.
This should be a fortunate govern
ment under which to sign agreements
and contracts.
Theatres should profit through this
posting of the stars. but they will un-
dergo decided change in methods
of management and in ideals after the
war, it is prophesied.
In the passing of power to the young
in the beginning of the new era, thea
trical managers will be superseded, for
there will be civic or government own
ership in places of amusement as well
as in other lines of public enterprise.
One OF the results of the war Will
be such a change in domestic condi-
tions that new customs and new meth
DDS Of living will be introduced. This
change will affect even the archltec-
ture, the seers declare.
This sway is held to be an auspic-
ious one for meeting new acquaint-
ances, especially If they be of opposite
scx.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
the forecast of a successful year. Trav-
el is forecast. The young will court ana
marry.
Children born on this day will be
clever, Industrious and original IN
thought. II girl she has the augury
of happy marriage.

tween having word with Friend

A man judges another mans 6nan-

A man thinks that it is big and
brave to brag that his wife doesn't

time he gets in. But the fact OF the
matter is that there is something
wrong about a woman who is that
kind Of a wife.
We have often wondered why fe-

no girl will admit that she is heavy

Today We Celebrate
Of Bigelow, Inventor OF
SuSpCndcrS

Suspcnders
Today is the 10Srd anniversary of
the birth of great benefactor OF
masculine humanity, Erastus Brig
ham Bigelow, who invented the mod
ern elastic webbing suspenders and
the loom for weaving the webbing.
More than half hundred useful in
ventions stand to the credit of this
Massachusetts genius, but his "elas-
tic braces for trousers" was his su-
preme achievement. Braces were in
use, of course, before Bigelow turned
his attention to the problem Of keep
ing upper and neither garments in
close juxtaposition. but those early
types of the ''gallus" were construct
ed on unyielding cloth, and ill suited
to withstand the strain imposed by
the movements of the body. Buttons
came off with alarming frequency.
and catastrophe was always impend-
ing. Gentlemen always carried nails
in their pockets, to be used in emer-
gency as a substitute for buttons, and
even such provision did not always
prevent calamity and the unwelcome
attention of the press, public and
police. Then came Bigelow with his
suspenders of elastic webbing, and
male humanity rose up and called
him blessed.
Bigelow was born April 2, 1914, at
West Boyleston, Mass. He was what
we now call child slave" in the
cotton mills. AS lad he invented
hand loom for piping cord, and he
had not vet attained his majority
when he perfected his loom for weay-
ing suspender webbing His inven-
tions at this period, valuable as they
were, did not yield much in the way
Of profit, and he decided on a mer-
camille career. He entered the en-
ploy of the Boston dry goods firm of
s. L. Morse G. Company, and at the
same time studied stenography, and
published a book entitled 1.-The Self
Taught Stenographer." The inventive
instinct was too strong to be resisted,
however, and he again turned his at
tention to the development Of new
processes of weaving. Among his in
ventions were power looms for the
weaving of knottcd counterpanes and
the manufacture, of coach lace. At
the age of twenty-five he perfected
the two-ply ingram carpet loom, and,
with his brother. organized the Clin-
ton Company at Leicester, Mass,
which town soon became known as
Clintonville, and after as Clinton. His
manufacturing industry made him
wealthy, but he continued to invent
new processes and machines. and in
all patented more than fifty inven-
tions. He died in Boston in 1879.
