Get Things Doner

Learn to delegate your task to
others. You have not done your
whole duty even II you have worked
yourself to a frazzle, il your work
remains unfinished while there re-
mains another agency that might
have accomplished the job. This is
especially true in matters pertain
ing to public health. The overlap
ping of health agencies in many cit
les will show that the greatest good
Is not being accomplished for the
greatest number.
The New York public school
health department practically
adopted the slogan Get Things
Done" as against the usual method
OF do 1t yourself" The latter
method looks well in the reports
that We present to boards of man
ayers and gives the agency that fol-
lows 1t a sort of Pharisaical sense
Of superiority; but when 1t comes to
the real test the get IL done"
method actually reaches the people.
William H. Allen, former secre-
tary of the New York Bureau of
Municipal Research, tells of a well
fare nurse who chose to personally
run around and help ten families.
when within a few blocks there
were three relief agencies and a
visiting nurse society with their
large staff of visitors. Had she
called upon these to help her she
would have been the means Of as

Daily Horoscope

Until late tonight the stars are
menacing and it is wise to delay
initiative upon which much de-
pends, according to astrology. AL
though Saturn is mildly benenc in
influence, Neptune and the Sun are
for good after sunset.
1t is a day that should be fairly
favorable for agriculture or for
vegetable or mineral.
Neptune has a sway said to be
encouraging to deceit and hypoc-
risy. Misrepresentation OF facts
will be prevalent and confusion in
the public mind will be common.
1t is not an auspicious day for
persons who seek to rule or to die
tate. since the planetary sway is
supposed to encourage independence
and dislike for those who exericse
power.
Neptune gives aid to secret enc
mics during this confguration. it is
believed. so that rumors and re-
ports that are evil will be easily
circulated and readily believed.
The sign is a promising one for
men accustomed to leadership, ana
will encourage the plans of these
past middle age.
This month is not fortunate for
English politics, at least so far as
the government is concerned.
Saturn is in an aspect said to
foreshadow a movement back 10
the land. or at least a new inter-
est in land ownership.
A nationwide plan to influence
the people through their games or
amusements has been foretold by
the seers.
A season OF unusual extrava-
gance at summer resorts and
much profit to landlords again Is
prophesied.
A sensational occurrence at
fashionable seaside hotel is fore
cast.
Much filtration and an extrau.
dinary number of divorces are
prognosticated for the coming
months of 1920.
Marriage comes under rule
making for many changes in do
mestic life and even the mainte-
nance of independence on the part
of women.
Persons whose birthdate It is

year with increase of money and

Children born on this day may
be exceedingly ambitious and sue
