Irwin Cobb's Latest.

win Cobb's account OF the horrible
ravages OF war and wartime diet
upon that "smile-making gentleman
from Paducah." If 1t were not so
funny, it would be pathetic. From
the time Mr.. Cobb landed in Eng
land until he saw the back OF tho
Statue OF Liberty. this once happy
gentleman never stilled the cravings
that gnawed his vttals. There is
screamingly funny account of a
luncheon, with the Lord Mayor OF
London; there Is an uproarious de-
scription OF why q Frenchman cook

there is-Irvin S. Cobb with all that
that means. on every page.

HOROSCOPE.
SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1919.

This is an uncertain day, variable
and perplexing. according to the
reading Of the stars. The Sun
changes from friendly to threaten
ing aspect
There is a sign read as sinister
for those who seek recognition or
support, either politically or tinan-
ctally. disappointment is foretoId.
| This prognosticstion that fortells
the thwarting of ambition includes
military men and naval officers, who
may deem the rewards Of valor
small.
Unusual competition for govern
ment appointments and public office
is indicated. This extends to all
parts of the country.
Mars is in place that is again
threatening. Some new event may
have extreme influence on the army.
Faultflnding is supposed to be en-
couraged by this rule of the planets,
which is not promising either for
domestic harmony or business
routine.
From this date on industrial con-
ditions may cause anxiety. Strikes
arc indicated, but the forebodings
of pessimists will not be realized,
There is indication during this
configuration of efforts on the part
of spectators on the bear side of
the market to encourage fear or
panic in the financial world.
The seers declare that this is the
time to practice thrift, but they
warn that production and substan-
tjal investments are to be the chief
concern.
Educational interests will occupy
unusual attention in the coming
weeks, when changes in college and
high school courses of study will
be agitated with peculiar emphasis.
Churches will find new avenues of
activity during the next few weeks,
according to q forecast that seems
to presage a strong demand for
relief work.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have suspense and anxiety in family
affairs during the coming year. They
should not make any changes.
Children born on this day may
be of restless and unsettled dispo-
sition. These subjects of Aquarius
are usually great favorites with
the opposite sex.

Octavus Roy Cohen
Writes Hard, Plays
Hard, in Southland

.Octavus Roy Cohen, author of
The Crimson Alibi" (Dodd, Mead
and Company prides himself
upon two things: his youth and
his provincialism.
Mr.. Cohen. who is only 81 years
OF age, forsook a budding law
practice in Charleston. s. c., some
four years ago moved to his pres
ent residence in Birmingham.
Ala. and since that time has de-
voted himself exclusively to the
production OF short stories and
novels. His work has appeared
in nearly every magazine pub
lished IN the United States and
he is the author of a series of
short stories now running in Tho
Saturday Evening Post.
Efforts of friends to induce Mr..
Cohen to make his home in New
York have thus far met with sig
nal failure. He admits that he
Is too fond of the distractions
which New York offers to dare
risk it.
Mr.. Cohen does not take his
work too seriously. He has never
yet ATTEMPTED the great Ameri-
can novel" He admits frankly
that his fiction is designed to
amuse, and The Crimson Alibi"
is an excellent example of his
successful application of this
theory. He inclines to the hum
orous in his stories and has won
a large and enthusiastic audience
for his work.
AS to his methods Of work:
when actually writing a story he
spends every hour of the day and
many of those after dark, at his
desk. This seige continues until
the story is finished and en- route
to the editorial sanctum. Then
he sits back and rests until a
new idea comes to him. With
which he pitches in again.
Between times he spends his
spare time with Octavus Roy
Cohen, jr., age 3; and in vain re-
grets that prize fighting Is not
allowed in Alabama.

who says "Sh-sh-sh"' outside my
