MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1918,

Saturn and Uranus rule strongly for
evil this day, according to astrology.
Mars is slightly adverse
There is an aspect not altogether
favorable to farmers or persons who
deal in real estate. 1t would seem
from the reading of the stars that
speculation OF some sort is indicated
in many places.
Mines and mining are subject to
trouble. but there will be much in
terest in producing minerals OF ev-
cry sort.
1t is not a lucky day for beginning
journeys, since storms and accidents
are more to be dreaded than in usual
circumstances.
Uranus gives warning TO aviators
TO be exceedingly cautious while this
confguration lasts. The planets are
read as presaging many new uses
for airplanes. one OF which will be
quickly developed after the war.
Under this sway there is a sign
that is read as indicating Complica-
tions in Russia and protracted move
ments of troops, including American
soldiers.
Growth in. mental view is TO bring
about progress for soldiers after the
war. II is prophesied by those who
see in the aspect Of Uranus promise
that old standards OF ambition will
be replaced by new ideals.
Various indications of unrest are
prognosticated for early in the new
year. but these merely presase
growth, the seers declare.
Again attention is called 10 the
prophecy that music and art Will
have a new place in national esteem
and will be developed under govern
ment direction.
Aged persons should safeguard the
health during the winter, for they
may suffer from sinister planetary
influences. Many deaths will occur.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
not travel or remove in the coming
year. They should be especially eau
tious in their dealings with others:

Mr.. Average Man is firmly con-

money and that lot of it goes for
their dressing.
Here are some facts on the matter:
The Bureau OF Labor Statistics in
Secretary Wilson's Department of
Labor has been studying the yearly
cost of clothing for a hundred rep
resentative families in the New York
city shipbuilding district. The aver
ege income involved was $1,000 per
year.
They found it cost s73.17 to dress
papa, s52.04 to dress mamma; big
brothers clothes came to s7O.4I: big
sisters to s62.13; the kids in school
ran from S37.S1 to S40.46 for the
boys, s33.O7 to s3sS6 for the girls:
boys under six had to have about
s32.30 worth of clothes for the year,
and male babies 1910; the little
girls cost $3.50 to dress, and the
female babies s22.36. and it is in this
last class that the women, for the

curiously ornated tombs dating from

In one corner of the cemetery is a

These are not stone walls, but are

following account to a French war
correspondent:
The region of Marville, being part
of the open gate of invasion to the
MOselle and Rhine regions, has been
for many centuries the scene of vio-

number of fortifcations here. the
ruins of which can still be seen. Even

ground in the Thirty Years War and
in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870

"As a consequence of all these wars
this vicinity has been visited by many
terrible epidemics. In the Middle Ages
there was a great leper hospital here.
Thus, it may be explained, that people

actuated by religious motives. and
