DAILY HOROSCOPE

tCopyright. 1920, BY the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
The early hours OF this day. which
Il most fortunate In its sway. are
dominated by Neptune, Uranus and
the Sun, all In evil aspect Later
Jupiter and Venus rule strongly fol
the good fortune of men and WON
en-.
1t is not a favorable sway for
making journeys especially those
hat have for their object the for
warding of personal ambitions or
business enterprises.
The aspects for this early autumn
seem invariably to foreshadow a
most unsettled state pf tho public
mind, in which both Neptune and
Uranus have the most disturbing
effect.
There Is a forbidding sign for
persons in places Of power. They
may ind their plans thwarted and
their supporters disloyal.
1t is not a lucky day for applying
for positions, for seeking promo
tons or for promoting any personal
ambition.
Jupiter and Venus are in aspects
! read as foreshadowing great busi-
ness enterprises for women, who
will win supreme success.
This should be an suspicious d.
rection of the stars for love affairs,
and even though 1t Is Friday, it
should bring happiness to brides
and bridegrooms welded under this
sway of the stars.
Lawyers, whether they be men or
women, have the most important
leadings while this ~conigaration
prevails. the .seers declare.
This should be a day most bene-
fetal for theatres and all who play
in them. making especially for large
financial returns rather than artis-
tic success.
Hotels and restaurants still have
the most prosperous outlook. ac-
cording to a~strology, but they will
seek to conform more to home con-
ditions, astrologers prophesy.
The ingress of the Sun in Libra
in trine TO the Moon is read as fav-
orable for the country and the peo-
pie generally, so that the winter
should find the world conditions
improved, even though evil stars
seem to presage much suffering in
Europe. 7
1t is prognosticated that many
jurists and literary folk will end
their careers before the dawning of
the new year.. This prophecy ap-
plies to Great Britain as well as the
United States.
Distinguished visitors to this
country from Asia as well as Europe
are to be entertained in the winter
and spring.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
expect a happy year, for both finan-
cial and domestic affairs should be
satisfactory.
Children born on this day proba-
bly, will be high-strung and alert,
but prosperous because of good luck
than hard work. |

Great Game Drive Starts

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa.
"A great game drive is in progress
in zululand, with the object of stop
ping the rayages of the tsetse fly,
which is fatal to equines and boz
vines.
Whole tribes of Zulus, attracted
by the prospect of unlimited meat,
are taking part in the drive. They
mostly armed with assagais, the
native spears.
1t is thought, however, that the
size of the drive is defeating it's own
object. The wild creatures have be-
come panic stricken and the lu-
dicrous situation now exists of the
hunters having become the hunted.
The great Gordon of white men
and Zulus has been broken in sew
eral places by charging herds OF
frantic zebra and other animals, and
the hunters have been compelled to
split up into small parties for their
own safety.

Objected to Military Caste

VIENNA former officer of the
Austrian army was walking through
poor quarter of the city In full uni
form when a workmen's councillor
ordered him to remove his clanking
spurs. An alteration ensued lead
ing to a suit by the officer for de-
famation. The court gave him dam
ages TO the amount of 1000 crowns
and told him he could wear the
splendor of his former estate when
and where he would. The work
mems councillor pleaded that he and
his neighbors objected to such a re-
minder of the old time authority of
the military class.
Since the ratification of the treaty
officers in the full uniform Of the old
army with breastloads of medals and
decorations have become. very much
in evidence on the promenades.
Many OF them say their uniforms are
the only decent clothes they have.

PROTECT RURAL COMMUNITIES

The murder of woman near Ern-
ston on the outskirts of South Am
boy a few days ago again emphasiz-
ed the fact that the country districts
ought to be given better police pro-
lection. The suggestion of Judge
DAILY and Prosecutor Stricken that
more constables be appointed might
help some, but the average country
constable is not of much value in
dealing with real crooks and Grim
mails.
The only way to reduce to a mini
mum the crime that is taking place
in the rural districts is to have a
state police force such as has given
such excellent service in other states.
These state police are not limited by
city. township or county boundary
lines. The whole state is their field.
They are highly trained men who
know how to run down a criminal.
These state police are mounted;
they patrol the highways as a city
policeman patrols the streets. Es-
pecially in connection with our sys-
tenn of state highways should a state
police force be organized for the
purpose Of patroling them. In a
highly developed state like New Jer-
sey a state police force.is of the ut
most Importance. Not until such
a force is organized a real pro-
lection be given or laws enforced
Outside the larger cities.

Commissioner Din of the state
motor vehicle department, is asking
for suggestions regarding the
changes in the motor vehicle and
l%trafHc laws. There is no doubt that
something must be done along this
line II our roads are to be preserved.
The greatest problem for New Jer-
sey Is the motor trucks. This Is
brought about because Of the states
peculiar location between two of the
largest cities in the country. The
trafac back and forth between New
York and Philadelphia is enormous
and the only route lies directly across
New Jersey. This state receives all
the wear and tear on the highways,
bur derives little or no benefit from
the trxnc.
Not only do VIC carry all the traffic
between New York and Philadel-
phia, but there are regular truck
lines operating between New York
and Baltimore, Washington and
Harrisburg. The fact is. the heaviest
wear on our highways is due to our
proximity &c the great metropolis OF
New York. but which metropolis is
outside the state.
In making suggestions for changes
In the motor vehicle laws It would
be we'll to consider the advisability
Of forbiding trucks that are geared
to u above eighteen miles an hour
tn use the New Jersey highways. The
heavy trucks passing over the road
surface, particularly the bitulithic
pavement, at a high speed auses the
surface to roll Up as in waves. max
ing little hills and hollows that are
disagreeabie to ride over and that
soon develop into holes. This is par
ticularly true In warm weather when
the bitulithic material becomes soft.
II will do no good to pass a law
the speed of trucks to fifteen
Or eighteen miles an hour. The only
solution, as long as there is no special
for the trucks, such as
trains have, Is to limit their
speed for drivers are going to go the
INIT whenever the opportunity
pliers regardless of law and regula-
Make it impossible for the
ruck to run above a certain rate no
natter how hard the driver may try
o force it and the problem of speed
s solved.
With heavy. cumbersome trucks
-unning over our highways at the
ate of twenty-five and thirty miles
n hour It is no wonder the road sur
ace d~eteriorates before the author
ties have a chance to repair 1t. We
would suggest that a law be passed
whereby trucks. before they are
permitted to operate owe New Jer-
ey roads, must be geared 20 run
