people of the world. Time and agai.
they burn out their energy. but re-
kindle the flame and It burns more
brightly than ever
With natives of their own domain
fire people are usually congenlal-they
understand one another's faults and
foibles. Aries and Sagittarlus, the posi-
tive and negative poles Of this tri-
pllcity, combine In marriage with more
brilliant and harmonious results than
do almost any other two signs of the
zodiac. An Aries husband and a Saglt-'
tarlus wife are blessed by the whole
system Of polarity.
Fire and air people make wonderful
comrades; air inspires fire TO boundless
ambition, and together they ascend to
illimitable heights. A more practicas
alliance Is formed by fire and earth, for
fire needs the solidity Of earth and
earth the warmth Of flame, but fire l.
usually impatient OF the unresponsive
earth and likes air better.
The only element hostile to fire Is
water. for water quenellcs flame, leay-
Ing It to sputter or TO shoulder. It's life
Is snuffed Quilts b~rilllance, spon'
.tanelty and eternal hope. Nothing moro
disastrous Is known in the triplicities
than the marriage of fire woman with
u water man
Volatility Is a trait also common to
air people. Like their fire neighbors.
they are inspirational and act upon
impulse. Air natives are born under
the signs Gemlni the Twins, from
May 20 TO June 81; libra the Scalesl,
from September % to October %, and
Aquarius (the Water Bearer, from
January 20 to February 10. Gemlni IS
the positive. Libra the middle and
Aquarius the negative pole Of the air
tripllrtiy.
characteristics Of Air People.
Air people are delightful; they are
lovable, buoyant and eager for ro-,,
nance and adventure. They never
analyze and seldom explain or argue
a point. They are sensitive TO people
and to environment, a quality which,
luAkes them successful mediums and
mind readers. The worlds most sue
cessful gamblers have been recruited
from the afr tripllcity.
E~lusiveness Is another dominant
trait Of air natives; they cannot be
clrcumscribed. They scatter their
forces and like TODD several things AT
a time. They can rise to any height,
but they are impractical, capriciouy
and often v%acillatlng and unmaDagea
able. Yet they are the most appeal-
ing and fascinating people of the four
t~riplicities.
AS friends and companions air pec-
pie are usually congenial with those
born In their own element, although
their most intimate and inspiring allt-l
ances are formed with fire people.l
With earth people they are Inclined
to have difficulty, for earth takes airl
as a matter of course and Is cold and
critical. Air, fire and earth, however,,
have combined with air in many
happy marriages. Water Is the only
element against which the volatile air
natives should guard, for they are 10
free and Independent as their govern
ing element; they never will explain.
while water always demands . rsA-
son.

From The Ty1onne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The United
States Shipping Board to-day received

ing that all vessels built from earnings
Of vessels in operation be constructed

bureau
At a recent meeting the board adopt
ed the following resolution:
"Whereas Section %, merchant ma
rine act, 1920, provides that steamship
owners may be relieved from war and
excess profits taxes under certain con-
ditions, one Of which is that the net
earnings of vessels owned by said COM
panies and operated in foreign trade
are to be invested in new tonnage or
set aside in trust for that purpose, said
new tonnage to be of type and kind
approved by the board; and,
Whereas, Section % of said act pro-
vides that all departments, bureaus,
States government are directed to rec
ognize the American Bureau of Ship
ping as their agency for the classified
tion of vessels owned by such bureaus,
and for such other purposes in connec-
ton Herewith as are the proper func-
tions of classification bureau; be it
"Resolved, That in all cases the
boards approval Of the type and kind
of vessel. under the provisions of Sec
ton % shall be on condition that said
vessels shall be constructed in accord
ance with the rules of the American
Bureau of Shipping; and be it
Further resolved, That this condi-
ton shall apply to all such approvals
hernto fora trivenn
The American Bureau of Shipping, &C.
knowledging the resolution, wrote Ad-
miral Benson, chairman Of the board,
in part as follows:
For this further evidence Of the
boards confidence in this American
classification society we desire to ex-
press our sincere thanks, and we as
sure you that we are making every en-
deavor to continue to warrant the
boards confidence and patriotic support,
to the ultimate end of doing our part
in the upbuildilg and maintenance of a
highly efficient American merchant
marine"

Silks Show Firm Tone

Improvement in inquiries from the
trade and signs Of strength in markets
for raw material have had tendency
to give a lirmer tone to the silk trade,
according to reports here yesterday.
The most encouraging sign in the local
market, according to the trade. is in
creased orders for spot delivery
While buyers remain unusually eau
tious and continue to avoid increasing
commitments to a great extent, pur-
chases have become more frequent and
lead wholesalers to believe that retail
stocks are nearing the depletion point.
Canton silks have attracted the most
attention in the last week, it was said.
While the strength of the Yokohama
market, both for immediate and future
delivery, tends to help the market here,
prices there arc too high for American
buyers to do business in Japan. 1t is
said, however, that Europeans are buy
ing on the higher scale and appear
willing to go OH. The Italian market,
too, IS reported stronger and higher
than the Japanese. For this reason
American buyers are not interested ex-
cept in so far as the general market Is
affected.

Daily Forecast ON Winds
Weather Bureau to Issue Re
norris as Guide to- Axiators

To comply with the demands created
by increasing air travel the United
States Weather Bureau at New York is
now including in its daily report of
weather conditions, statement as to
wind direction and force in the upper
regions. One such report recently is
sued by James H. Scarr, in charge Of
the New York Office of the Weather Bu-
-eau, contained the following para
graphs:
STEAMERS departing to-day for Euro
pean ports will have fresh to strong
northeast to north winds, and generally
fair weather to tie C~"~I t&N0fs
1.-THE winds up to 10000 feet are east
erly, but shift abruptly to westerly
above $4,000 feet"
The data is obtained, he said, through
the army and navy authorities at
Mitchell Field and at Rockaway Beach,
where daily observations are made by
means of barometers, wind guages, etc.
sent up attached to captive balloons.

Commercial Credit

Conditions in the commercial money
market were little changed yesterday
Mercantile houses continued to cover
their credit needs on a discount basis
OF per cent for the best paper. This
is the season of the year when there is
normally an increase in commercial
borrowing. So far, however. there has
not been the usual expansion, due pre-
sumably to the unsettled trade con-
dtions.
No change in commercial money
rates was noted yesterday. CONNER

Enacted to tend toward the mainte-

Sales Abroad Impossible
Pending the appointment OF the new
Shipping Board, the present body has
no power to make sales of vessels to
foreigners, Requirement of tie mer-
chant marine act being that no sale
eau be eonsummated without the al
firmatiye votes of five commissioners.
At present there are only two members
Of The board. Any opportunities to
dispose Of the boards ships abroad
must therefore be let slip until Presi-
dent Wilson has made the necessary
number OF appointments.
The question of sales OF ships to for
sigusrs is also the subject Of some diff
fieulty in Great Britain. Objections
are being made to the regulations
plaesd upon these sales by the British
government. Complaint is made that
unnecessary restrictions are being i'm
posed, and British papers state that it
seems absurd that az q time when
there is talk Of slump in shipbuild-
Ing and contracts are being cancelled
the rules should be retained
1t is stated that the government will
give consideration only to applications
for the sale Of ships which are more
than fifteen years old, and that even
when the necessary permission is
granted owners are required to pay
is per cent of the amount received to
TIT government and to employ the re-
nainder Of the money either in a new
vessel or for the purchase Of an ex-
enemy vessel surrendered under the
farms Of peace.
