A scourer, such as bath-brick, applied
with a moistened cork or cloth, usually
removes rust and discoloration. If this
treatment Is not effective, keroslnc
should be poured on the spot and al
lowed to stand for few minutes before
the scourer Is applied. All traces OF the
kerosine should be washed off with hot,

strong determining effect upon the course
of her life thereafter. One OF these ais
graceful and wicked actions to which she
is destined directly concerns the mother;
another concerns her first husband. The
second husband will bring disgrace upon
her-but more of this hereafter. ~
In passing, let me note that IL had rot
known something of the circumstances Of
this child her horoscope would have told
me plainly of her parents disgrace. What
astrology calls "the affliction" of the planet
Mercury which rules the fourth division
of the horoscope, signifies the father, and
the position there clearly indicates i'm
prisonment and death for him. H
The aspects of the tenth house, which
relates to the mother, show ill-fortune for
her and Imprisonment. The positions OF
the sign Capricorn, whose ruler is the eyi
Saturn, and the sign Aquarius in the
twelfth division, signified that this misfor'
tune to the parents was self-invited-in
other words, direct results Of their own
actions.
Enough OF technicalities. Now let me
indicate the unusual future as the stars
map 1t out for this little jail girl. They
show that between the ages OF two and
three she will be taken entirely out of all
influence OF her mother and, indeed, be
entirely removed from every one even re-
moteIy connected with her parents.
The years that follow are Of unusual
good fortune. Wealth is indicated and also
the greatest of care for her; indeed, the
signs Of luxury are very strong. ] should
deduce from this that she is to be adopted
by rich people who will bring her up as
their daughter. OF course her life for the
next fifteen years is uneventful, except for
a serious Illness at the age OF eight. Her
first real love affair will be at the age OF
seventeen. The stars show that this will
be violent, and they indicate her running
away from some institution.
AS the signs OF wealth and OF wisdom
cluster about this point II is safe to deduce
that this institution IL fashionable school,
and that the love affair results in an elope.
ment from this place. A journey follows
and the first marriage occurs at this point
A journey half around the world follows
close upon this and the death OF the first
husband Is shown within three years
Within another year there Is an even more
violent passion indicated, closely followed
by marriage to wealth, position, and
signs that indicate diplomacy.
The Washington times., 1920-10-10

From certain indications would assume
that she will wed a foreign diplomat Of
wealth, and probably of title. Certainly
for three years thereafter her life is closely
associated with great affairs. The death
Of her first husband she has taken lightly.
1t seems to have been an impulsive girl
and boy match.
But now comes her great tragedy. The
signs point to her return to her native
country. She will come, of course, presum-
ably as the daughter of those who adopted
her or as the wife of great parsonage
or titled parsonage. There are indica-
lions Of charitable work In which she en-
cages, and here then comes a crossing or
the lives of herself and her mother. This
meeting is in an institution marked by
signs Of sickness and poverty. Judge that
II Is hospital Close about this crossing
of paths are signs of enlightenment, knowl-
edge, sorrow and repudiation-and evil!,
Reading from context and also what fol-
lows, It would seem that the Jail baby finds
her mother iii and destitute. BY some
means the mother recognizes her, and UNI
able to let her daughter be lost to her
again reveals to her the terrible secret OF
her birth.
NJ She repudiates the mother-and, after
sll, in the shock of such revelation, who
can blame her?

enemies, and in some manner the secret
or her birth leaks out, comes to the ears
of her husband, and is verified by him.
TAe signs show disgrace, misery, absolute
change of environment and the abrupt
Swapping OF this second marital chain.
There follows period of obscurity. This
apparently lasts for three years.
Now comes most peculiar configura-
tion. The evil but intellectual influence
of Uranus is here exerted to the full.
There is gathering of malign forces d.
rected by her intelligence. 1t is not too
much to picture her as associate and d.
recting brain of band either OF outlaws
or enemies OF society There are the signs
OF destruction and violence. This period
lasts for three more years, when again
there is n revolutionary change. We see
the evil influence of Uranus negatived, and
Jupiter, her star, strong and benefcent.
At this time also comes her third marriage.
There "a n period OF intense activity for
good. She would seem for ten years to be
happy. Again death ends this union.
