Union Station yesterday were con-
spicuous by their absence. In com
parison with last year the building
was almost deserted, and at that
there were plenty OF people with
suitcascs, tickets and other travel
impedimenta. Lack of travel is laid
to the raise in ticket prices.
A girl in the information booth
when asked if there were more than
the usual number Of people leaving
the city this year than last "on ac-
count of the three day holiday oc-
Casioned by Labor Day said:
No, not that that I've noticed.
Why. last year il took me a half
hour to get from the entrance OF

how it is today: lots Of benches
empty"

the great and only Spenser, who
brought tho name into fashion re-

Red Cross Knight
Una is queen of the fairies in the
County of Ormond. in which she ap-
pears in one version OF the soldier

amazed at his hospitable reception
and entertainment, as he thought,
by the avariciOus squire. until morn

raised tho mansion and provided the
supper.
Una is much in use today among
the Irish pcasantry. 1t is often pro-

Daily Horoscope

IIl-favored aspects rule this day,
according to astroIogy. and it is
lucky that business is suspended.
Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury, the Sun
and Saturn are all in malefic aspect.
Under this government of the
stars the mind is likely to be un-
certain and disturbed. 1t is well to
practice concentration and to reflect
upon pleasant subjects.
Uranus is in a place believed to
encourage the most gloomy views of
business prospects and political con-
ditions, but the effects of this ILL
omcned sway may be overcome by a
poitive attitude of mind.
Ministers, lecturers and public
speakers may find audiences cold
and unrcsponsive today, and Unusual
tact will be necessary to overcome
unfavorabIe conditions.
Letters are likely to be especially
dangerous when written under this
rule of the planets. Love missives
as well as official congratulations
may contain material from which
troubles develop.
Visiting comes under an influence
that is most unfortunate while this
configurtion prevails. 1t will be
particularly unluclIy to meet rela-
tives on whom depends favor or
money.
To the aged is likely to come a
sensation of WEAKNESS and discour-

Persons whose birthdate it is have
the forecast of journeys that may
not be lucky. They should not eisk

is drama that brings success and
happiness. They should be very
carefully guided in chooing their
