HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, January 1, 1919.

This should be a fairly lucky day.
according to the reading of the stars.
and it will mark the beginning of a
year of events more surprising than
can be foreseen by ordinary vision.
Peace will become a fact only after
many extraordinary happenings, one
of which will closely affect the United
States While the planets make bril-
liant promises to the country there
will be also dramatic occurrences
and sensations.
Warning is given that the human
mind will be unusually susceptible TO
suggestions OF all sorts. Uranus will
cause suspicion even of friends. Much
misjudgment is indicated.
This trend toward harsh criticism
will be noticeable not alone where
public men and national organizations
are concerned, but it will be apparent
in families and among friends.
The effects of Mars in powerful
sway will be apparent for a long
time, the seers declare, and will be
manifested I'm quarrels among nations
as well as among friends.
The seers declare that while the
world has been disciplined by war il
has not been sufficiently purified yet
to admit the hope of permanent peace
unless there Is an offensive" of
broad education dealing with ethical
and spiritual questions.
In the new year many men and
women of fine attachments will win
recognition.
Industrial reforms will be the most
prominent feature of world progress.
Workers of every class will gain
great advantage.
Health will become foremost pub
lie concern in the coming months. A
national movement to train women
as well as men so that they may
become physically strong is indicated.
The Sun and Mercury today are
friendly. They give encouragement to
all who have high ambitions, especial
ly to writers.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of successful year In
business. Those who are employed
will have a good chance OF promotion.
Children born on this day will be
clever and popular. These subjects Of
Capricorn usually rise In their prv-
fessions and enjoy prosperous lives.

Before Soldiers Went

BY CAPT. H. s. JOHNSON,
With American Red Cross in Eu-

With American Hed cross IN Eu-
Paris.-The sobering effects Of
warfare on American boys is best
shown by the songs they sing.
At embarkation camps on the sea-
coast in France, far away from the
front, our boys sang the popular
songs. The camps resounded with
"Tipperary," over There" Hail,
Hail the Gangs All Here" and
Pack Up Your Troubles"
But when the troops moved up to
the camps in the fighting zone.
though still back of the front line,
they seemed to grow more thought
full. Then the songs most popular
were "Old Black joe" "Tenting To-
night on the Old Camp Ground,
Just Before the Battle, Mother"
and such songs of sentiment.
At the very front. in the religious
services held while battle ragged. our
American soldiers almost invariably
called for Nearer My God to Thee, ."
Rock of Ages" and Abide With

A singer Just returned to Paris

for running expenses and one-fifth
for savings and miscellaneous ex-

With an income of 500 a month this
division allowed s3S a month, or ss.33
a week, for food.
1t Is estimated that food costs almost
doubled during the war. Rent also
increased. but the estimate still re-
mains one-fifth of the income.
a survey made the first six months
of 1918 among several thousand public
school families averaging five mem

A School for In-Laws
By DOROTHY DIX
TIE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

A Philadelphia man wants to start
a school for mothers-in-law, to which
every woman should be committed for
a six months term on the eve of her
children's marriages. Needless to say
it is a reform school with a discipline
that makes any other penal institu-
ton look like gay and care-free
summer resort.
1t is impossible to say how such an
experiment in forcibiy incuIcatins

the crying need of the day is for

women can learn the gentle art of
