DAILY HOROSCOPE
wednesday, september s, 1920.

Copyright, 1920, by the Mcclure
Newspaper S~yndicate.)
Saturn and the Sun are in benefc
aspect early today, but later astrol-
ogers read that Mars, Jupiter and
Uranus are mildly adverse.
The planetary influences are en-
~couraging for all who cling to ira
dition and seek to perpetuate power
through reactionary policies.
During this conflguration it should
be easy to make an impression on
the public mind by appealing to
precedent and by making the in
stinct of caution active for self-pro-
lection.
Men past middle age have the best
sort of direction of the stars. and
should be exceedingly fortunate at
this time when the Sun is favorable
to their ambitions.
Beneath all the outward manifes-
tations of acceptance of old faiths
and well-tried principles there ap-
pears to be a strong undercurrent
in which Uranus, the mischief max
Ell causes trouble.
The mind is supposed to be easily
influenced during the sway by de-
s~tructive ideas that seeek to under
estimate the good that rules men.
Danger from propaganda that Is
evil and insidious in its effects is
foreshadowed by the stars.
Mars is in a place that gives little
hope of the return of peace and
pleasantness to the distressed world.
AS long as the planet supposed to
control the subconscious mind is
active for evil the seers declare that
there will be continual trouble. The
thought of greed and selfishness
must be eradicated, they declare.
There is a sign that seems to in
dictate a decline in prices of wearing
apparel of certain fabrics. Wool is
subject to a planet that seems to
indicate continued high prices.
Both men and women are subject
to influences making for many forms
of egotism. The magnifying of self
is due to stars that bode extreme
expressions of vanity and arrogance.
Astrologers point out that it is
not necessary to accept the guidance
of sinister planetary forces and that
ali who seek real righteousness will
study the self-forgetfulness that is
the beginning of wisdom.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should pay close attention to routine
business and avoid speculation. They
have a happy augury for the year.
Children born on this day may be
high-strung and nervous, but ex-
ceedingly gifted and sure 20 use
their talents probably.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE RELEASE


When Old Hiram Rumble was
planted, / sighed like a son Of a
gun, although / vas rather en-
chanted to know that his troubles
were done. Some symptoms of grief
are expected, when neighbors or
friends pass away; we have to look
sad and detected, and give u emo
lions some play. When old Hiram
Rumble was living, he cornered all
anguish and pain. each hour in its
passing was giving some joinh an
additional strain. His nights were
iead-footed and sleepless. his days
had the semblance of years; and IL
he was dry-eyed and weepless, twas
because he had run out of tears.
But now all his torture Is ended.
he sleeps in his tomb like a child;
then why should our garments be
rended, and why should u wall
ings be wild? Above him the blue
grass is seeded, above him the
daisies have grown; the heat of the
summers unheeded, the cold of the
winters unknown. Rheumatics may
torture and rack us. and put all our
lives out of tune, all manners OF ills
may attack us, but Hiram Is strictly
immune. And so I knew little of
sorrow when over his casket I
stood: 1 doubt IL old Hiram would
borrow one hour OF this life If he
could.

KILLING THE O

OF the thousands of automobiles
that crossed the state highway bridge
yesterday homeward bound from the
shore. comparatively few used the
Staten Island ferry here. Although
the traffic was heavy. IL not heavier
than it was on Memorial Day, the
line of cars waiting at the ferry was
not nearly as long. Evidently the
~autoists are becoming tired of being
robbed. To pay practically a dollar
TO cross from this city to Tottenville
an automobile load of people is
just about too much. 1t looks as If
the Rapid Transit had at last sue
in killing the goose that was
a golden egg every weekend
with a double yolk on holidays.

HEALTH ADVICE


Physicians now know that almost
every person possesses a certain am
cunt of immunity to various
diseases, an immunity when
may be inherited. as that due
to the Transmission Of antitoxin from
mother to offspring, OF may be ac-
'quired, as that which follows an at
tack of communicable disease.
1t is largely to the great trencn
scientist. Pasteur, that we owe an
understanding of this immunity.
Studying the fact that recovery from
an attack of some of the common
communicable diseases, such as meas
les, scarlet fever and smallpox makes
the person immune to these diseases
for life. Pasteur thought it might be
possible to produce attacks of dis
ease in healthy individuals in such
fashion that they would Thereafter
be protected. AS a matter of fact he
made his experiment with anthrax.
a disease of cattle which at that time
caused enormous losses in the cattle
industry in France. His problem was
artihcally to produce a mild attack
of the disease, something which
would not cause any loss of the anil
mails, but which would nevertheless
bring about the necessary immunity.
ne HldilN IOutiu Nnab ehtS N0AN -
done by heating the anthrax germs
and so weakening them. His work
so remarkably successful that he
everywhere recognized as the
of the French cattle industry.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that Pasteur had had no previous X
~periences to guide him. AS n mat
ter of fact he gave credit to h I'M
mortal Jenner for the idea of arti-
icially protecting against disease by
the use of weakened living germs.
Jenner, It may be recalled, In 1875
showed that the introduction OF cow
germs through a slight scratch In
the skin produced a postule which
protected the person against small
pox.
Thanks largely to the careful scien-
tihc work of Pasteur and his succes
sors we now know that cowpox virus
used in vaccinating children against
smallpox is really a smallpox germ
which has been altered by being pass
ed through a calf. Once it has
changed from human smallpox into
cowpox. it can never give smallpox
to a person into whose skin the virus
is introduced.
Vaccination is a safe and mild pro-
cedure, and constitutes the only pro-
against smallpox. Is your
child protected? II not be sure TO
him vaccinated before school
opens.

HOW ENGLAND ACTS
IN HOUSING SHORTAGE

NEW YORK, Today-The acute
housing shortage faced by many ci-
ties in the United States today
brought from the Guaranty Trust
Company a description by its for
eign trade bureau of how Great Bri-
tain was meeting a similar situa-
tion.
THE program of the British Min
istry of Health-complete rehousing
in three years-is about n year
behind and Is costing more than
double the original estimates" said
the report.
Local authorities in England are
left in charge of the work unless
they fail to show results, in which
case the business is turned over to
the office of works.
What is keeping back housing
at the present time is the fact that
there are not enough skilled men
to do wen a quarter of the work
wanted. The trades unions will not
allow the number to be increased
from the outside.
THE government is using a sort
of indirect cumpulsion by prohibit
ing luxury and unessential build
ing so that if a man will not build
cottages he is not allowed to build
anything.
There are housing bond cam
paigns all over the country. In
London. subscriptions to the six per
cent bonds are coming in at the rate
of about 100000 a day. While the
local governments are issuing six per
cent bonds. the British government
charges seven per cent. Borrowing
in the ordinary way for housing
schemes not financed by bonds is
usually sever per cent"

The Trenton Times warns the In
tsrstate Bridge and Tunnel Commits
sion that 1t had better so slow about
starting the work on the vehicular
tunnel under the Hudson river be-
tween Jersey City and New York. 1t
would be wise to wait at least until it
is certain where the money to pay for
the project is coming from. The
Times says;
columbus Day is to be celebrated
on October IL by the Interstate
Bridge and Tunnel Commissioners by
beginning work up on the landward
ventilating shafts for the tunnel on
the New York side. when Governors
Smith and Edwards will turn the first
shovelsful of earth and deliver adj
dresses, and there will be a military
parade in which New York and New
Jersey troops will participate, with
policemen and firemen. Governor
Cox, Senator Harding. the Governors
Of Connecticut and Pennsylvania and
the Diplomatic Corps at Washington
are to be invited.
In view of the fact that the
method of financing the tunnel and
bridge projects had not yet been de-
cided, but is to be submitted to the
voters of New Jersey in the form
of a S2S, 900, 900 bonding proposition
at the election in November, 1t might
be well to defer the demonstration
until a decision has been reached and
more definite information obtained
concerning the probable cost of the
two great undertakings, for which
this state must provide n half OF
the money that will be required n
which may exceed S100,00O,OOO.
1--WE are now having one costly ex-
perience over the improved highways
program, which was originally esti-
mated to cost $7,500.000 which the
people voted. 1t is now generally
conceded that even the $15,000,0OO
which is to be raised by direct taxa
ton over a period of years will not
pay more than a third of the ex-
pense, and the State of New Jersey
should not be finally committed to the
tunnel and bridge until the taxpayers
know what is expected from them,
and until they are free OF the high
way tax burden"

DADDY, I'm so LONELY"
Rr nr Jamcs i. Vanoe.

II was not a little child, but a
Young wife, who said IL. 1t was
the moan of a broken heart, released
in the ~semi-delirium Of an opiate
that had deadened physical pain,
but was not strong enough to Supply
a tortured spirit.
The train was on a night run be-
tween two southern cities. Half an
hour out. the young woman whose
berth was just across from mine be-
gan to have commissions. She had
been found on the rear platform in
a highly historical condition. Fortun-
ately there was an angel in the form
of a trained nurse ontboard, and she
was t~ireless in her efforts to give re-
lief. We telegraphed ahead for a
doctor. who came an hour later, but
all that he could do vas to administer
an opiate.
During the intervals when she was
herself. snatches of her story came
out. Married three years before.
with a little son waiting for her at
the end of the nights ride. with a
husband who had grown tired of his
young wife and deserted her. 1t was
the old story of a lost Eden.
She had probably tried to end her
life there on the rear platform, but
nAO NOT SuCGGtQCu III SCltln8 GnOuSh
of the drug into her system to ac-
complish her purpose.
At three o'clock in the morning,
the opiates hushed the poor girl into
a troubled sleep, but for the three
hours that followed, over and
again that cry of a broken heart
moaned itself out into the car:
Daddy. I'm so lonely! Daddy. I'm
so Ionely!"
Literally hundreds of times she
said it. Across the car aisle, through
the curtains, into my berth, came
this plant of a stricken soul. I can
never forget that serenade of despair.
I began to wish that a man who
had broken his marriage vow might
hear it. If it could reach him, would
he care? How could he resist such
a sob fem the bruised heart he had
once SWORN to cherish?
l began to wish that other men
might hear a young mother ncove
the tragedy of q wrecked home, as
she thus reachA out blind arms for
the father of her child.
How can a man play false to a
woman when they have taken ia
sacrament of life together?
Maybe there are men who would
come back, of they could hear what
I heard that night, moaning It's way
out through the curtains of a Pull
man. If you have deserted the girl
you swore on Gods altar to love
till death shall part" that cry is
coming after you. 1t will hunt you
down; it will follow you to the ends
of the earth. 1t will not let you
forget. 1t will meet you at Gods
bar at last; but there 1t will change
from a minor chord. 1t will become
your accusation. As the judge listens.
He will say: with what measure We
meet. it shall be measured to you
again"

SUCH IS LIFE

"Heyl" yelled Nero at his faithful
attendant, chase u and blow some
wind into the tires so / can take g
bunch of the boys TO the baseball
game this afternoon.
Then 'flivvering round to Apiu:
lClaudius' house he picked up the
gang and motored out to the stadium
where the Rome Togas were playing
the Carthage Wildcats.
1t was coming back from that game
that Nero got so peeved at the old
timers who continued cluttering ur
the roads with their chariots.
I'D like to get rid of every chariot
in Rome" he told APP Claudius.
Burn IN up" Ap suggested.
by gollyI That's a good idea
chuckled Nero.
That night Rome blazed and char
lots couldn't get out fast enough.
julius Caesar was another guy,
who, like Nero, couldn't stand for
THE standpat idea of the hasbeens.
One morning he grabbed the tele-
phone and called up a friend IN
Rome.
Say Maisie," he murmured, after
spending three-quarters of an hour
getting central to pay some'tention to
him, I'm coming right down from
Gaul. How about a little musical
comedy tomorrow ever"
I'm on" Maisie replied, hustling
like everything down to her dress
makers, to find out whether skirts
had shrunk any in the latest style
books from Paris.
1t was t keep that date that J.
Caesar made his famous jaunt across

wooden bridge nearly caused him to
disappoint Maisie. But j. c. was no
SLOUGH about correcting mistakes. He
saw that it was a bum bridge. And
that was why he put up a dandy new
suspension bridge there. Now any,
body can cross the Rubicon without
soaring the dickens out of every Ro-
man.
And some people still cling to the
.delusion that Richard Wagner went
in for the heavy stuff only. Let's get
this thing straight.
AS Bill Shakespeare puts It so apt
.ly:
Dick Wagner was a regular guy.
He liked nothing better on a quiet
evening, when some of his pals were
tapping up the suds with him, than to
tickle the ukulele.
zone time 1 remember very well.
Wagner had just bought some new
records and insisted on trying them
upon his fine photograph. They were
some jazzy tunes in the flock. I'll
say Wagner could pick EN-.

Wagner, before Tom Edison can do
the shimmy al well as I do it,

any other export.
