WOMAN'S AFFAIRS: WASH 1INGTON AND Ell SEWEIEREI
Oh, MyStars!
HOROSCOPE,
November ?, 1920.

This should be a most favorable
day for public matters, according
to astrology. for the Sun is in a
place forecassng good fortune to
persons seeking power. Mercury
gives great promise to writers and
newspaper men.
According to the seers it is diffi-
cult to forecast the result OF the
election. except that many surprises
will take place and better condi-
tions may be expected for the coun.
try at large.
Mercury, the planet that is sup
posed to guide journalists, Is in an
aspect that promises success. In
this case, however, 1t is impossible
to forecast which of the ,Presiden-
tisl candidates is favored by the
stars.
The prophecy that n younger man
will dwell in the White House is
made by an astrologer. who fore
sees that the league of nations will
have an astonishing effect on the
vote.
The winter may be severe in many
ways not associated with the
weather.
All the stars appear to forecast
/ a period of facing about and gen.
eral reorganization. This applies
to individuals as we'll as groups.
A season of great social gayety
/ is indicated, and the National Capt.
tai will be more than ever concern
ed with pleasures and amusements.
New York is to undergo many
changes in the coming months, it
is prophesied, and will profit
greatly.
! Education is well directed at this
: time, for their is to be a great in
/ terest in art and letters. as well
as. in practical training for business
/ life.
| Persons whose birthdate IL is will
have a fairly satisfactory year, il
J they do not speculate.
! Children born on this day will be
/ clever and gifted in many ways.
They should have success in life.
7 Girls have the forecast of good
fortune in marriage. Scorpio is the
sign. and the principal ruling sign
Mars.

There are many instances of the
use Of Violet in England and Scot
land. There is the equivalent
Nolande in France and also vio-
letta, a name borne by Eva Maria
Neigel, the young danseuse who
became the wife of David Garrick.
But in Italy, where the Viola arose,
there is no record Of its having
been used as a proper name
The common opinion Of etymolo-
gists seems to be that il was a
fanciful name imported from Italy
by Shakespeare and bestowed upon
one of his heroines in Twelfth
Night" But however II may be.

deared the name in English hearts

TRUITS IN WINTER

While the "apple a day season is
now at hand. the coming Of fall and
winter marks the passing Of most
of the fresh summer fruits which
constitute so important a part OF
our diet. There are, however, eN-
cellent food values in the dried
fruits which arc available practi-
cally at all times.
First of all, the moisture that Is
lost when the fruit is dried can ana
should be replaced by soaking the
fruit in water over night. As boil
ing hardens the tissues, dried fruit
should never be boiled.
To let It simmer in q double boil
er. or, better still, to pack il in a
covered pan and put in the oven is
a much better way to prepare dried
fruit.

ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES URGENT
LY NEEDED FOR BAY SCHOOL
Correspondents Says State Inspec
tors Requirements Are to Be
Met February 15th.-Calls
Attention of Parents
and Trustees.

About two months ago Prof. Ivy, of Jack
son was here to inspect our school. He
made a report in person to the trustees OF
our school and an official written report
schools of Bay st. Louis. 1t was the opin-
ion of the board that this written report
should be published for the benefit of the
public, and it may appear later.
The principal of the School has submit
ted minimum requirement of library sup
plies that must be bought. This will pro-
bably amount to about 1925 and an ency-
clopedia, $149; laboratory supplies, $3.50
and maps, charts and globes, $125, SO the
total will be 5000 or more. This is the
minimum for supplies for this school to be
placed upon the accredited list of oursstan-
dard colleges and universities Still other
strong demands were made to our board.
namely; That they pay a salary that will
secure teachers that will pass the state in
spectors examination. Only one teacher Is
now employed in the high school that will
meet the requirement, that is the principal.
You cannot get the school on the accredited
list by buying supplies, you must have
strong teachers IN both grades and high
school This takes money. Our Board
promises to meet all the state inspectors
requirements by February 18th, 1921. Il we
do not do this by the above date, this
school cannot be placed on the accredited
list for 1921 1922. The school is not now
on that list because of no library no Ia
boratories, no maps, no globes or charts
We do not have the proper teaching force
because we do not pay salary that will
draw strong teachers. We have been try
ing for two months to find extra teach
er for high school and there is none to be
had at the salary we offer.
We have as fine set of pupils as can be
found in the state of Mississippi, but we
are not offering to these idols Of our homes
such educational advantages as other
schools are Offering their children Now at
the close of the fourth month school we
have not such equipment as will pass the
state inspectors examination and for that
reason all graduates this year cannot enter
any standard college or university without
an examination, whereas pupils from other
like schools of Mississippi are admitted
without examination. Fathers, mothers,
and all friends of educati ton, do you want
such a school for your children in Bay st.
Louis? If you do furnish the revenue to
buy supplies and to pay teachers a living
salary all this must be done before Febru-
ary 15th 1921.

with the intention of occupying during the
summer season with his family. There fs
