Early today Saturn and Uranus are
friendly. according to astrology, but
later Mars and Jupiter are in malefic
aspect. In the evening the Sun holds
kindly sway.
The stars seem to forbid business or
financial dealings that concern war
conditions, during this configuration
for they will incur loss.
Mars and Jupiter are in aspects that
seem to presage much trouble reIat-
ing to the business side of the United
States Army.
Saturn today gives encouragement
to the aged and to those who have
long held high place. but they are
warned that young men arc to super
sede them in politics and in both the
army and navy.
The evening of this day is held
to be a most Ruspicious time for en-
tertaining persons of prominence or
for conferences with them
There is a sign read as presaging
the sudden reorganization of army
hAlllS dS II lOl dCllOIl. lHlS may nave
some bearing on the Mexican situa-
tion. but seems to be due TO some in
ternal disturbance.
Police and all who guard property
have the forecast of great activity
Heavy losses in unexpected ways
seem to be probable.
Washington comes under sway
making for the most startling and
unusual occurrences. DANGER seems
to threaten the capital next month.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury of a year Of success in
business. but they must not speculate,
for all risks will be unlucky for them
Children born on this day may be
rash and extravagant. These subjects
of Virgo usually have many talents
that make for great success if they
are well directed.

Uncle Wiggily looked through the
brook where there was a waterfall
made of some moss-covered rocks. the
rabbit gentleman saw the bunny boy.
And Sammie was looking at something
he had fastened on top of the little
rocky waterfall.
What have, you there, Samm.e?"
asked Uncle Wiggily
"Oh, this is my splasher that I have
just made" Sammie answered. Come
and see how it works. Uncle Wiggi-
ly"
The rabbit gentleman hoped closer
and he saw that what Samnie called
a "splashcr" was little wooden water
wheel. such as you may have seen at
an old mill.
The wheel did splash about as the
water fell on it, dash,ng over the rocks.
and Uncle WigGily and Sammie had
lots of fun watching il. but. all of a
sudden. the water stopped running
down over the rocks. no more fell on
the paddles of the wooden wheel and
the splasher stopped.
Something farther up the brook
must have turned the water to one
side. or else perhaps a big elephant is
there drinking up all the water. so
none is left to turn your spIasher.
Sammte, said Uncle WiggIy.
Then, all of Il sudden. through the
bushes crashed the bad Pipsisewah.
Water was dripping from his lips, and
then Uncle Wiggily and Sammie knew
who 1t was that had drank up all the
water in the brook
"Oh, no, How dare you put splashing
water wheels in my brook" howled
the Pips.sewah.
II didn't know 1t was your brook. -
answered Sammie. And. besides. a
little splasher water wheel, like mine.
won't hurt it"
Yes it will" shouted the Pipsse-
wah. Now you take your splasher
right out OF my brook, And because
you put t here I'm going to bite a lot
rabbit souse off your ears. and OF
Uncle WiggiIy's, too"
But he didn't, for just then, all of a
sudden, it began raining very hard.
The little brook was filed with water.
Down 1t rushed over the stones and
the wooden water wheel began to
splash faster than ever.
And. as 1t splashed it splattered a
lot OF water In the eyes of the Pip
sisewah. so he couldn't see a thing
not even his own nose.
Come on, Uncle Wiggily! This is
our chance to get away. when the
splasher bothers the Pipsisewah so he
can't see"' cried Sammie, and he and
the bunny uncle ran away. They had
to leave the splasher behind, but the
Pip didn't get them, and that was
the best of all. So everything came
out right. And il the front steps don't
go around to the back door to watch
the clothes posts play tag with the
rocking horse. I'll tell you next about
Uncle WiCCily and Susie's cookies.

SEEKS INQUIRY
INTO HOSPITALS
Solon Would Sift Charges
Involving St. Elizabeth's
And Walter Reed.

Thorough investigation of the present
administration OF Walter Reed and
st. Elizabeth hospitals here is asked
in a resolution introduced yesterday
by Representative Thompson.
80 many complaints have been re-
ceived over the conduct in these two
hospitals" Representative Thompson
explained last night, that we are
compelled to investigate. There is
nothing vicious in our desires, we
merely want to find out the facts,
and the public is entitled to know the
facts. for they pay the money"
The resolution itemizes the follow
ing three specific phases which the
contemplated investigation would
cover: Conduct of prisons within the
hospitals where overseas and other
parties are confined for infraction of
rules; attitude of officers toward en-
listed attendants who apply for dis
charge; alleged favoritism relative to
the discharge of enlisted soldiers prior
to or during or after the establish
ment OF their so-called priority list.
