HOROSCOPE,
October a., Io7o.

Copyright, 1890, by the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate)
Mercury rules powerfully for good
today. according to astrology. AL
though Saturn is in evil aspect early
in the morning the friendly plane
tary influences dominate.
1t is a peculiarly auspicious day
for setting out on journeys, espe-
cially if their aim is altruistic.
Whatever is written under this
rule should be especially fortunate
in its results. There is a sign indi-
eating that political propaganda
sent out at this time will be sensa-
tionally effective.
Publicity is subject to the most
favorable conditions, for the plane
tary government inclines the mind
to put faith in the printed word.
Letters of all sorts are subject to
the most promising conditions. max
ing for friendship, loyalty and even
success in love.
There is a sign said to indicate
that eating will become more and
more of a costly pleasure in the
United States. In the future cpl
cures may command the attention Of
reformers.
This should be fortunate direc-
ton of the stars for public meetings,
but with Saturn adverse, radical
thought will be more cordially re-
ceived than conservative ideas.
Fires, explosions and loss of life
in the Eastern States were prophe-
sled by astrologers early in the year
and they declare that their predic-
tion has been only partially full
filled.
Portugal is still under a menac-
ing sway that may be strong for evil
during the winter.
Ireland continues subject to the
most sinister influences and will not
emerge from its period of unrest un-
til an event of tremendous moment
has taken place.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should watch the health. Business
affairs may be exaoting during the
coming year and should be carefully
handled.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be quick and clever. They
should have unusual gifts that will
bring them into great experiences.

promenade Broadway in the theater district at the
hour when the curtains are about to rise.
Yet it is, after all, a situation which should
logically result from the practices of the New York
managers for years past BY their alliance with
the spectators they have forced up the prices of
seats to point at which the ordinary man thinks
twice before buying. The $500 which il costs
New Yorker to take his wife to any very popular
play will buy books that will while away half a
dozen evenings, supply gasoline for drive of
hundreds of miles, go far toward -meetng some
household expense
The theater managers have long since ceased
to reckon New Workers to fill their theaters,
counting rather Westerners an expense ac-
count, or in the city for good time regardless of
expense. But the present inclination to cut ex-
penses has greatly decreased the numbers of these
gentry, and the theater district is wondering if the
goose of the golden eggs is indeed slain.
Washington is fortunate in having escaped the
blight of the ticket speculator, and at the same
time being so situated as to see the best plays
with the best casts. Washingtonian cultivate
taste for the drama without cxhausting all his
income in the pursuit

Washington and Community Chest.

Miss Boardman the recently appointed Dis
trct Commissioner, adding her official to her per-
sonal influence in urging representative local
citizens and civic organizations careful considera-
ton of the community chest scheme of collecting
and distributing aid for charities of the city. Cleve-
land, Ohio, if we mistake not, was the first large
city of the country to in a sensible co-ordi-
mated way the problem of securing cash for worthy
causes. Other cities and towns have followed suit
and Minneapolis is debating whether to fall
in line.
The merits OF the plan are many, but conspicrI-
ously admirable in two respects. Sheep can thus
be separated from the goats by an expert advisory
body, and much money that is wasted or worse
thus saved Secondly, the citizen who has good
will and cash combined and who wishes to be So
cially serviceable give "once and for all" each
year, and thus be rid of the pressure and incon-
veniences that come from intermittent drives"
Ready as Americans are to do good in this way
they have had an experience during and since the
war; that will make it easier now than ever before
to enlist citizens of most communities in support of
such plan. We commend the effort to have the
matter carefully considered by Washingtonians A
sufficient number of experiments in other cities have
provided facts upon which wise action can be based
Such notifications peculiar local conditions sug-
gest of course will be considered The time has
come for control, at least of an advisory kind
Charity is noble impulse and enduring virtue, but
1t must be married to Justice

HOW ABOUT THE Pill
GRIM MOTHERSo

The world is hearing a great
deal about the Pilgrim Fathers
these days. AS a temporarily live
topic they have crowded the high
cost of living, the league of nations
and other popular conversational
subjects from the center of the
stage. Everything but Babe Ruth.
At the risk of seeming sacrilegious
to any readers we may have in New
England, or to those nearer home
whose ancestors came over in the
FIRST cabin of what Ambassador
Geddes calls "the uncomfortably
crowded good ship Mayfiower," may
it not be said that while the Pill
grim Fathers deserve all the tri-
butes being paid their illustrious
memory, somebody ought to speak
good word for the Pilgrim Moth
ers? As has been suggested, the
fathers were heroes, all right, but
weren't the mothers heroines? They
heo ~ iiNC with lHS ldln6rS.
Would the Pilgrim Fathers ever
have come to America IL the Pill
grim Mothers hadn't agreed to
come along? Who did the siren
uous packing up? Who provided
the warm clothes for the trying
voyage? Who got the children
ready? Who made all the prac-
tical preparations for housekeep-
ing in a new and strange country
filled with they knew not what
dangers? And who strengthened
the spirit of their husbands by
their own quiet courage and that
peculiar sympathy which is dis
tinctly feminine in it's nature and
expression? Probably, If the truth
were known, the whole idea Of
emigrating to country where
they could attend any church they
felt like originated with the mill
tant wives and sisters and daush-
ters. The Pilgrim Fathers were
good old scouts. Let's give 'em
their due. But somehow ones
heart does warm just a bit more
toward those noble Pilgrim Moth
ers.-Pittsburgh Chronicle -Tele-

MARY A THRILL.
IN WHOLE RACE.
Labert St. Clair Bemoans
Tameness of Presidential
Campaign This Year.

II one thinks that thLre is any
overwhelming interest in the COM
ing national election he has only
to try to start a political conversa-
ton on a train, or visit any of
the national party headquarters in
order to disabuse his mind OF this
notion.
Within the past few weeks the
writer has made several trips be-
tween the East and the Middle West
and also called at the national
headquarters of both parties in va
rious cities, and he has yet to get
a political thrill from anyone, in
cluding the paid employees. The
difference between this campaign
and others is about the difference
between lifting a salt mackereI
from a keg and catching a game
fish out of a mountain stream. Few
deader things can be imagined.
On trains, where one usually can
start a political argument about all
.omst any phase of a national race,
folks look at you askance if you even
bring up the subject of the Candi-
dates. They would a great deal
rather talk about the baseball scan.
dal than either Harding or Cox.
And as for the league of nations
discussion, either pro or con, it
simply has been laid aside, along
with other cold weather subjects.
For few days, when Cox's charges
of a big Republican campaign fund
were at their height, and l hap
pened to be travelling between Iowa
and New York, there was some dis
cussion of the political situation,
but it died out very soon.
Recently l called at the national
headquarters of both parties in
Chicago, and found them almost as
dead as the battlefelds of France.
At the Republican headquarters
few folks were sitting around, and
friends explained TO me that no ef-
fort was being made to stir up any
thing in particular, but it was
thought all was well. At the Demo
cratic headquarters there was an
air of dullness, and little activity.
1t was explained there that very
little money was coming in and
therefore only a small amount of
work could be done
Reports trickling back East pri-
vately from correspondents with the
candidates confirm the opinion that
there is mighty little interest in the
situation. The crowds come out all
right, but the greatest thrill comes
when some lone heckler rises up
and says a few words. What Bill
Bryan, who always got cheers, at
least, must think of the campaign
probably would not be fit to print
Joe Tumulty was telling the other
day about an Irish friend OF his
who went back to Tipperary from
New Jersey. He had not been there
long when he got into a fight and
then into court. II seems that he
caved in an opposing gentleman's
skull. The evidence against him
was conclusive. so he was convict
ed. II developed. however. that his
victim had what IL known In medi-
cal parlance as a paper skull" and
this was Of particular interest to
the prisoner.

THEN AND NOW.

William E. Pancake, who owns q
small general store in a Bsrtholo-
NEW County town, says that in
1898 q woman brought ten pounds
OF butter to his store and that he
paid her SO cents for IL. She also
sold him ten dozen eggs for 80
cents, thus establishing a credit of
81. For this she received i've
pounds of sugar, rs cents; six
pounds Of navy beans, rs cents:
eight pounds Of bulk oats, rs cents,
and two pounds of coffee. Is cents.
A few days ago another woman
brought TO the same store ten
pounds OF butter for which she re-
ceived Sc. and ten dozen eggs for
which she received 81. As part
payment in merchandise she took
fve pounds OF sugar. IS cents: six
Pounds OF navy beans, rs cents;
eight pounds Of bulk oats, Sc cents;
two pounds OF coffee, 80 cents. q
total OF s3.46. This left a difference
of ss-54, which she received in cash.
Thus Il will be seen that the
selling price OF eggs and butter had
increased 1000 per cent, and the
price of groceries on her list about
S3a la per cent. There are no fr-
ures showing how much more ft
costs her TO churn butter now than

New York, Oct. a.
1t was the first night.
OF a great Broadway play.
And the foyer was filled.
With q restless flow.
OF matchless women.
In evening gowns. ,as :.
And a billowy wave.
OF white shirt fronts.
OF Immediately clad men.
And q sprinkling of critics
Who would sit awhile.
Then hurry away.
And write their verdict.
And from the street.
There came little woman.
Wearing . black bonnet g.
And a frayed shawl
To sell packages of gum.
Then a buzzer sounded.
And conversation ceased.
And the crowds moved In.
And the curtain went up.
To reveal the play.
And at the intermission.
The foyer filled again.
And the little old woman.
Came in with her gum.
And 1 watched her.
And not once did any one buy.
And after the theater.
She was at the entrance.
Scanning all the faces.
And 1 stopped beside her.
And bought of her wares
And she told me a story.
Which I believe is true.
And I'll tell it to you.
She was once of the stage.
Not a great leading lady.
But with some talents.
And then Time.
Dropped the curtain.
ana sne sank down.
To povertys depths.
But at the first nights.
She is a regular visitor.
Not to sell her wares.
But to be back again.
In the old atmosphere.
And when the audience.
Files into the house.
She stands in the foyer.
To dream the dreams.
OF other frst nights.

RENT LAWS IN ENGLAND.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald
1t may be of interest to
many in this city to know what
England has done in the matter Of
rentals of houses. Acts of Parlia-
ment were passed called the rent
restriction acts. Under these laws
landlord cannot evict a tenant
unless he requires the house for
lis own occupation and use, or for
a person who is in his regular en-
ploy. One condition is that the ten
ant pays promptly what is called
the standard rent, which means the
rent at which the house was let on
August 8, 1914, or. where the house
was not let -on that date, the rent
at which it was last let before
that date, or il first let after that
date the rent at which II was FIRST
let Ten per cent extra can be
charged in certain houses of spe-
cifed rentals.
Following this the government
has ordered that all cities. towns
and authorities throughout the land
shall build a certain number OF
houses within a specified time. On
completion of the building of these
houses the government pays to the
builders or owners a subsidy OF
from f10o to El5O sterling as a set
OF against the extra cost OF build
ing caused by the high cost OF la
