TUESDAY. FEBRUARY IL, 1913.

Fair fortunes attend this day. ac-
cording to astrology. Jupiter. Venus
and Mars are all in benefic aspect.
Above all this should be an auspi-
cious wedding day and if a soldier
be the bridegroom long life and sue
cess seem assured, the seers declare.
On this date theaters should profit
and the players should benefit.
1t Is a sway under which all as
semblies that bring men and women
together for friendly ASSOCIATE ton
should be very successful.
The stars indicate foreign visitors
and much entertainment in private
homes as well as in public places.
There is a sign read as presaGinE
much organizing and correspondence
between this country and the allies
for purposes of social and Industrial
cooperation.
Many foreign children will be
adopted by Americans, it is again
predicted.
Legislation beneficial to soldiers is
foreshadowcd and many fighters who
return will gain high place in business
affairs quickly it is prophesied, for
they will reveal great mental
development and seriousness of pur-
pose. This is in accord with pro-
phesies made at the beginniuS of the
war.
Increase of the birth rate will be
marked this month and girls Will
probably predominate.
Leaders in societies or legislative
bodies come under a direction of the
stars making for sudden changes
This may apply to Congress as well
as to state bodies.
Teachers who will spread the gospel
of optimism will appear in the early
spring, astrologers foretell. Some of
these may be from oriental countries
Germany is still under the influence
of the evil planets that encouraged
the war, astrologers declare, and 1t
will be a long time before the country
is released from the sinister power
of the malefic stars.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
warned to protect themselves against
losses and to avoid extravaganza.
Business affairs may require special
attention.
Children born on this day may be
too tempcramental to succeed in
business. With Uranus as their prin-
cipal guiding planet these subjects of
Aguarius are likely to be dreamers.

SCHOOLS NEED
U.S.. MACHINES
Representative Caldwell In
PRODUCES Bill to Aid
Technical Institutions.

What TO do with some OF the vast
stores acquired by the government in
the recent war will be solved IL Con-
Sress gives heed 10 the suggestion Of
several trade and technical schools
throughout the country. They propose
10 have the government lend certain
machine tools to technical schools in
the same manner that the War De
partment has lent rifles to schools
having a course in military science
and tactics or a cade. corps.
a bill to this effect has been intro
duced by Representative Caldwell, Of
New York. and the Committee on
Military Affairs Of the House is now
considering it. Representative CaId-
wells bill provides that the Secretary
Of War shall lend to trade and techni-
cal schools and universities and other
recognized educational institutions
which, in the discretion OF the Secre-
tary Of War. should have such equip
ment, the machine tools suitable for
their use which are owned by the
United States.
II the bill receives favorable action
in Congress. il is pointed out by the
advocates Of the movement. the Tnitec
States will have ample machinery ia
case the country is thrown into an
other war. and the people. whose
taxes paid for the machinery, will, in
directly, have the beneficial use Of
the machinery and tools. through the
instruction OF mechanics
The government paid 100 CENTS on
the dollar for the tools and 10 sell
them in the open market they would
not bring % cents on the dollar. II
they are loaned 10 schools and col
leges throughout the country. the ad-
vocates OF the Caldwell bill say.
they Will earn more than their cost
within the next ten years in doubling
the mechanical skill oC the country.

How perfect all would be, this winter night
Were you but here beside me, fragrant-warm,
Where chuckling logs uptoss their rosy light

This mem'ry-laden chair,-O Hearts Desire
All that we lov'd is here-it lacks but you
To consummate this wontcd rendezvous!
Well know l how'twould be: your sweet rapt gaze
Fixed on the fire, and all the vivid spell
or that rare face unined in its blaze:
Quick lips alive with all they had to tell
So you would turn to meet, my ardent eyes.
And Q, the golden glory of that glance!
Your eyes, but late with anecdote agleam
Suddenly centered my countcuance
in soit'nng, melting look OF love supreme,
. darling! Why not in my arms, instead
OF lying there SO still, and white. and-dead!
