National Council to make public its

companies, which show the fair in

no profiteering will be permitted. II
the findings OF the Federal Trade
Commission are made public?" a
statement Of the council asks. The
council also asks that the figures be
placed before the new Industrial
board. This was done in. determining
the price Of steel rails, but the figures
which were for war time, were of lit
tie value because production costs
have been lowered.
The commission has been opposed
to making the figures public because
the costs are somewhat lower now,
and publishing the higher figures

Astrologers read the direction of the
stars today as especially favorable
philanthropic institutions.
Mercury and Neptune are in benehc
aspect, the sway making for recep-
tivity of spiritual influences.
1t is a fortunate rule for those who
read what they have written and so
should be helpful to the clergy. who
will discuss public questions and
preach morality with vehemence. ow-
ing to the uncovering of scandals.
Letters of all sorts should be lucky
under this planetary rule, which en-
courages kindliness and friendliness.
Neptune is in an aspect supposed to
give spiritual vision and for this rea-
son ministers should enjoy an access
Of power as leaders. This vision will
inspire practical reform movements
along novel lines.
The stars give warning again OF
the Importance of cleanliness in homes
and cities. Danger Of an epidemic is
foreseen. Special attention should be
devoted to sanitation and health con-
serving projects.
Children may suffer much in the next
few month";. for the stars are in
terpretsd as presasing the best and
the worst for them.
Hotels and all sorts of institutions
for community living come under a
sway making for prosperity.
The servant question comes much
to the fore at this time and it is
predicted that science will begin to
take charge Of domestice affairs.
A strange fad from Europe will be
introduced and it will cause the clergy
and the press to inveish against the
women who adopt it,
Persons whose birthdate It is have
the augury Of busy year that will
bring fair fortune.
Children born on this day are likely
to be endowed with obuick, alert
brains and strong characters. They
should be trained to sslf-control.

PLEA FOR LABOR.
Believes Not One Workingman ii
Five Gets Living Wage

Editor Washington Herald:
Your editorial on British labor is
100 per cent perfect
People should begin to realize that
labor If not given a square deal will
command protection from their gov
ernment themselves.
Not one man in five gets a living
wage. Where are their inalienable
rights to life, liberty and happiness?
It's time we realized the principles
upon which this government was
founded. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence advises that when any
government becomes destructive of
life, liberty and happiness, it is the
right Of the people to alter or abol-
ish that government
Is 1t not dreadful that we remain
silent and see our boys being mur-
dered in Russia when Congress has
never declared war on Russia? That
is absolutely unconstitutional Your
paper is more fearless and honest
Keep it up.

Today's Rhymes On
BY EDMUND VANCE COO


(An Ancient Ba1lade)
Cupid, the Hunter, out day.
Looked on sight which pleased him welIe:
\ maydcn fayre and a gallant gay
light Ebert and Estele.
ono lone dart had the tiny god,
Orc lone to worke his spelle;
He bent his bow and he gave nod
At Elbert and Estelle.
Sudden We gallant gave a start,
As ye gold-tipped arrow felle;
He staunched his hand to the tiny smart
And turned and spied Estee.
"Mayden fayre thou has done me hurt,
Though the why l cannot tee;
Thou hast marred my heart, as | dare assert"
Quoth Ebert to Estelle
Not l. good sir, have smitten thee sore.
Though mayhap, | can make it welle;
Give me thy hurt till l glance it o'er,"
To Elbert quoth Estelle.
He gave her his hurt and she soothed the smart
OF the place where We arrow felle
As thy leechs fee, thou shalt keen the heart"
Quoth Ebert to Estelle.
Nay, nay; 'Tis thine; have healed its smart:
Take it back; have made it welle."
In her haste she gave him her own fayre heart
To Ebert gave Estelle.
Cupid the Hunters laugh rang glad
As the. chime of marriage belle;
Quoth he, "Ye are mine my lass and lad
Both Ebert and Estelle."
Marry come up with a brimming cup
And relish to drain it wellel
a lifelong joy from the wee god-boy.
To Ebert and Estelle!

an unusual story of mystery. love,

has retired to a little Connecticut
