HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY. DEC. /.
10 stars incllne. but do not comnel. b

Astrologers read this as a quiet day.
Mercury rules strongly for good, while
Saturn is friendly.
Agreements made by letter today
should be fortunate, A contract for the
new year signed under this rule should
be very lucky.
Messages OF good import seem to be
presaged and these will indicate a re-
turn to better conditions of living for
1921
Again writers are subject to the best
possible direction of the stars. Fame
and large earnings seem to be indicated
for all who are now known, while the
younger authors viii make great head
way
Persons whose birthdate it is have the
sugury Of quiet year, but they may
be unusually susceptible and liable to
love interests
Children born on this day may be
restless and active, fond OF. pleasure and
general favOrite. They may not be
successful in business.--Copyrigh 1920.

young lady. Miss Anna B Pettet OF 62l
Norwoo avenue, who IS engaged IN the
heavy hauling business There is no
need 10 be shocked because Miss Pcttet

rotary and manager or the Federal

reticent on that subject.
The wheels Of the hauling business
seem TO move smoothly under her di-
rection. number OF innovations and
time savers in the executive affairs OF
the business have been introduced by

THERE'S NOTHING
EXECUTIVE ABOUT HER.
There is nothing executive about Miss
Pettet. When you go In to visit her you
are not the subordinate and she the boss
You arc just her friend. Indeed, this is

You remember IN the last story how
the maiden found in the wolly golden
fleece on the .thorny bushes, and now
when the Goddess Venus returned, ana
she VAS still very angry with her. And
perhaps something dreadful might have
happened. If. all Of a sudden, the lovely
maiden hadn't turned into a butterfly
and flown away. And without waiting,
Fuss followed and by and by he caught
NJ with her Just as she alighted on
rose.
Where are you going?" asked Puss
gently. for he felt very sorry for her
after all the hard tasks which she had
performed. And then the little butterfly
replied:
Life is made up Of many tasks. little
cat. aud when the body has grown
weary. the soul takes wings and files
away" And then the little butterfly
paused ana futtcred TO a white rose,
and as she swayed to and fro IN the
summer wind, she sang this song:
Once l was an ugly thing
Upon the earth that crept,
Until I spun SOFT cocoon
That held me while ] slept.
And when the spring began to sing
Its sweet awakening lay,
found myself 4 butterfly
With wings 10 fy away.

 No invasion of the American mar kets by Japanese manufacturers is expected by trade experts of the de- partment of commerce. At present Japan has the advantage over Europ- can exporters, they say, because of the unsettled conditions brought on by the war But when the industries of Europe have readjusted themselves return of the normal flow of imports into the United States is looked for For the next few years Japan's pro- gress as a manufacturing nation will be almost wholly along the lines of her peculiar domestic products and low grade manufactures, it is asserted.

IMP0RTSFR0M
 JAPAN DO NOT AFFECT !. s.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Despite the steady growth of imports from Japan since the signing of the armis- stice, officials of the Department of Commerce today declared that Amer ican markets have been but little, af- fected by the influx of oriental goods. Imports from Japan have increased, mainly in value rather than in quan- tity, it is said.
 During the II months ending with November, 1919, the latest available figures, America imported goods val ued at $367,130,1S7 from Japan, com pared with $264,269,5O2 in 1918 and $23S,550,617 in 1917.
 One reason for the increase in i'm ports is the shipping facilities, now available, officials declare, though Japan's expansion in foreign trade is which are sent to this country, how ever, are of the cheaper grades, it is said, and do not compete with the high class American manufactures Low grade paper and cotton goods, tea, vegetable oils, silk and bamboo manufactures are said to form the bulk of the Japanese imports. The only classes of manufacture in which Jepan and the United States are on competitive footing are toys and a few novelties in which the two coun- tries now lead the world, officials say.
 The constant increase in Japan's ex- port trade not only with the United States but with the world indicates a heavy demand will be made in the far East for American machinery and mechanical devices, experts declare. Japan, it is said, can manufacture cheaply low grade goods but must im- port machinery with which to do it. Trade experts seem to concede that Japan will control the trade of the far

the fate Of any liberalizing measure
hangs in the balance. The circulation
Of an anti suffrage round robin also in
crcases the gloom. ......
Partly because of these conditions,
the chances in. Louisiana and North
Carolina, where the Legislature will
meet in July. are somewhat brighter
than they would have been IL the path
of equal suffrage in Delaware had been
smooth. Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina. formerly a suffrage opponent,
has confessed his conversion. Cover
nor Beckett is lined up on the side OF
emancipation.
1t is not unreasonable also to expect
that Governor Parker, of Louisiana, n
former Progressive party spokesman,
will bring considerable favorable inhu-
ence to bear in his state when the
Legislature meets next month.
The South has a unique opportunity
to efface a dismal record on the suffrage
theme. Delaware has paved the way
for such repentance.

ance at six dollar top prices is unprofit =
able then the whole economic basis of
grand opera is wrong and the produc-
tions are simply forced cxotics. On
the other hand. if the present season
has paid, it is reasonable to expect sub =
sCOucut series of music drama.
The coming sale Of the opcra house
at Broad and Poplar streets may or

of lyric entertainment here to seek other
quarters. Some "home" for fnan

be found
The Chicago company did not return
this season because its weeks venture

merCiallv unsuccessful. In contrast
/ the Metropoitan's recent seasons have
had at least tho appearance of pros

good musical territory does not usually
remain long at the head of his organi

normal conditions. All this, the prob
lem of reconstruction, Is regarded as
largely a matter of administration.
Here, again. Mr.. Hoover's friends
quote Hooverism which touches on the
Failure" Of the Wilson administration.
"a government is interested in ad-
ministration," is the Hoover quotation,
which goes on to indicate that the people
are interested in action and iu near at
home questions.
"The people are interested in the po-
liceman on the corner" continues the
Hoover quotation, ''and not in long
range views.''
Mr.. Hoovcr's running comments are
shot through with continual references
to the futility of idealism unless it is
realized.
For example, it is quoted, "de-
mocracy is an ideal, but vt must have
an impulse TO make It real"
Plainly speaking, Mr.. Hoover believes
that the people want results not philo-
sophical essays which sound well but
do not meet the problems Of daily life.
MIR. HOOVER will not talk politics
AVl in the sense that most men, -candi-
dates for office, or suggested for office,
talk politics. Those who know his
intimate thoughts say that Mr.. Hoover
will not be President unless the peo-
pie make him President. Mr.. Hoover
works; he does not talk politics. He
has no liking for the turmoil of politi
cal tcrminology. lie will never dis
pose of a great public question by
retorting bunk" or dispose Of an an
tagonist by shouting ''pussyfoot. He
frankly admits he has no taste for
'snappy comments"
''Snappy comments are half truths"
is Hooverism. But those who 'sit
in on his conversations do not find
his comments any the less cxhilarating.
He prefers to get at the whole truth
no matter, how much intellectual en-
gineering Is required but, nevertheless,
he is human" in the general under
standing of that adjective. lie is not
a cold blooded personification of mathe-
matical engineering.
On the train coming over from New
York Mrs. Eleanor Egan, the author,
was discussing with Mr.. Hoover the
many and far flung fields Of relief work
in which he is ngaged-Armenia, Fin =
land, Poland, Esthonia-all over the
globe. Soon" suggested Mrs. Egan,
we will have TO organize, n Hoover
Relief Committee. You surely need re

and laughed joyously.

cause he is Republican who controls
the state machine and because he de-
sires to go back to Washington.
Other senator's in other states will be
elected for similar reasons.
The Senate today knows the senti-
ment of the nation. A majority of its
members favor ratification, and it is
possible to draft reservations which will
command the support of the necessary
two thirds IL serious effort is made to
bring about an agreement between the
White House and the Capitol on this
important and pressing matter.

THE PROPHET DANIELS

TT is cheering to hear Secretary Dan
j iels tell the world that his own be-
loved North Carolina will swiftly ratify
the suffrage amendment and endow the
women of the land with the long
awaited vote.
But those who are most ardently in
terested in suffrage will pause to hope
piously that the secretary of the navy
is better prophet now than he was
when he assured us that he would one
day march into Berlin at the head of
the United States Marine Band.
