Daily Horoscop
The stars incline, but do not compel.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 9, 1920.

FRIDAY. AUGUST d, l9ZO.
Copyright. 1920. by The Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
Menacing stars rule this day, &C
cording to astrology. The Sun.
Jupiter and Uranus are all in evil
place.
1t is a sway under which to take
account of ones affairs, weighing
carefully business and financial prob
lens.
The Sun is especially menacing 10
those who have high ambitions and
pursue them. Political candidates
should avoid any initiative at this
time.
Jupiter gives warning to those who
exercise power of any sort hat they
will focus enmity and even hatred
when the stars are posted as they are
today.
Increase Of crimes that Rave the
acquisition of money as Their aim
will arouse governmental agencies to
the scientific study of causes and
radical social reforms will be ad-
vocated the seers declare.
There is a direction of the stars
believed to increase facility in utter
ing falsehoods and misrepresentation.
Truth should be oultI Tated by all who
hope to attain success, for all the
signs seem to forecast the uncover
ing of deceit and t~reachery.
Uranus is in a place said to inake
human judgment especially untrust-
worthy and wise men and woman will
avoid criticism of their neighbors.
False friends may multiply d'ylng
the next few weeks, but the confNgu-
ration seems to foreshadow ulusNal
protection for all who pursue PATHS
of Righteousness. !
Railway problems again will cons
front the nation. but they will en-
body new phases of discomfort.
Color will be unusually potent dur
ing the remainder of the month. the
eye being peculiarly responsive to il.
This should encourage increased use
of flags and banners in political
campaigns.
Reactionary forces now will be
strongly felt by all classes of men
and women. The radical viewpoint
may cause many men and women to
be misjudged.
Owing to the sway of u~nfriendly
stars diseases of the system
may be prevalent at this time.
Persons whose birthdate ii Is
should not speculate or risk any
money. They should avoid changes
and should watch business affairs.
Children born on this day probably
will have many good friends and
should beware of wasting time. Girls
have the ausury Of happy marriage.

with two men OF such high stand
ing and character running for the
same nomination. advocating the
same principles and carrying on a
friendly canvass. frequently appear
ing from the same platform, it be-
more and more difficult for
the average Republican to decide
which n to vote for. 1t may be
said, however, that Mr.. Appleby is,
perhaps, closer to the people of the
district. always having made his
home here and being n Of us,
while Mr.. Herbert. although still
maintaining a voting residence at
Helmetta and always taking an
active part in New Jersey affairs,
has made his home in recent years
in New York, where he practices
law. At the same time it may be
said in behalf of Mr.. Herbert that
his associations have been such that
he might be in a position to WELD
more influence and accomplish
greater things with the big men at
Washington where influence and
personal acquaintance counts for
much in getting results.
While there are others mentioned
in connection with the Republican
nomination for congress. it is pretty
certain that the candidate will be
Herbert or Appleby. 1t will make
the Democrats hustle some to beat
of them.

BIG ROBBERY CLEARED UP

Excellent work has been done by
Prosecutor Stricker's Office in clear
ing up the robbery Of $4,000
worth of platinum at the Roessler
& Hasslacher Chemical Company's
plant in this city. Here vas a case
that seemed to battle the best men
the Pinkerton detective agency
could assign to the job. as well as
the local police. County detectives,
however. secured the evidence on
which indictments and finally con-
victions were made.
This robbery was probably the
most important that has taken place
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-08-05

in Middlesex county in a long time.
That It has been cleared up so salts
factorily Is gratifying. 1t Is one
thing to have suspicious in a case
like this, but it is quite another
thing to produce the proof sufficient
to convince a jury that those sus-
pected are actually guilty.
The evidence was there, however,
and was presented in such a skill
full manner by Prosecutor Stricken
that 1t took the jury only twenty
minutes to reach a verdict.
Senator Brown. attorney for the
defendants. put up a good fight. but
he was up against a hard PROPOSE
ton. The array of facts as a
shalled by the prosecutor were too
muCn LOT nlHls
1t took Judge DAILY but fifteen
minutes to instruct the jury as 10
what the law expected of them; his
fair and lucid statements doubtless
aided the jurymen greatly in reach
ing an agreement.
The public has every 20
feel satisfied with the trial. The
general impression is that justice
has been done. The outcome will
doubtless have a salutary effect on
those who sometimes forget that
honesty is the best policy.

MAKING "GooD SPORTS"

An event that has thus far at
tracted but little attention, but
which is of considerable interest to
the taxpayers Of the city and to the
people generally, is the playground
festival that will be held in the
Raritan Copper Works field tomor-
row afternoon beginning at 1
o'clock. The children of the differ
emit Fairgrounds Of the city are to
meet in friendly rivalry and give an
exhibition of what they have been
doing thus far during their vacation.
There will be a championship
volley ball game; a boxing match
between the best boxers of the re-
spective grounds will decide the
championship of the city; folk
dancing and kite flying will also be
features of this event.
Taxpayers should be interested m
this event because they are the ones
who have to pay for the mainte-
nance of the Fairgrounds. There
are some who still believe that play
grounds are a fad and that the
money spent on them is practically
wasted; the idea of teaching chill
dren how to play or supervising
their fun is ridiculed. But by at
tending such an event as this festi-
val promises to be tomorrow the
skeptical ones will receive a decid-
eddy different impression. Children
at the age of those who attend the
Fairgrounds are most susceptible to
influence. The instructors are able
to mold character and fix habits
that will stay with the child all
through life and thus have it's in
fluence on the whole community.
The boy who spends his vacations
on the municipal Fairgrounds where
he is taught to appreciate clean
sport and how to play fair, is not
the boy who develops into the loaf
ing. criminal class. The traits in
stilled into the youthful mind by
the playground instructor make for
good citizenship and the money
spent on the Fairgrounds returns to
the people in the moral uplift of
the whole community.
Sir Thomas Upton. who has
made frequent attempts to lift"
the Americas cup without success,
is extremely popular in this country
because he is declared to be a good
sport" To be a good sport is one
of the finest things to be said about
a man. The Fairgrounds are max
ing good sports" of the boys and
girls of this city instead of the
quarreling. fighting, sneaking,
cheating kind of sports. If anyone
desires to see for himself just what
the Fairgrounds are doing in this
respect let him go to the Raritan
Copper Works field tomorrow after
noon and be convinced.
