The Horoscope
For Today
January 10, 1921.

Venus and Jupiter rule strongly
for the welfare of men and women
in the early hours of this day, ac-
cording to astrology. In the even
ing Mars is strongly adverse.
, 1t is a sway under which all love
interests should flourish. Engage
ments made while this planetary
government prevails should lead
to happy marriage.
There is a promise of good re-
suits from church services today,
since the stars are believed to en-
courage receptivity to religious
suggestion.
Reviyals and movements to in
crease interest in religious matters
are well directed. Certain sects will
benefit greatly in this new year
Winter resorts now are subject
to a sway that promises a profit
able season. Florida will benefit
especially.
Women are believed to be sub
jected to a direction of the stars
today that stimulates them toward
business or financial activities.
Commerce should increase great
ly toward the end of 1921, but the
United States will encounter great
opposition to its ambitions wher-
ever foreign trade is involved.
Jupiter is in a place held to in
dicate prosperity for this country
but it will be built on a foundation
that is firm and conservative. Spec
ulation will decrease for it will not
be generally successful.
There will be a tightening of the
bonds between England and her
colonies, owing to trade relations,
and this may not be altogether
satisfactory to the United States.
Mail problems will be discussed
in Washington during the next few
weeks and Congress will be the
scene of many bitter clashes re-
garding future policies.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the forecast of an active year
in business affairs. Young women
will have proposals of marriage.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be keen of mind and per-
severing. Many successful politi-
clans are born under this sign.

Sells at $40 Quart
AS Champagne
Is Worth 80 Cents

John E. Laskey. United States
attorney for the District, has re-
fused to interfere in the sale and
use of carbonated cider labeled as
':Mumm's Extra Dry" alleged to
be manufactured by a New York
bottHng firm and sold over the coun-
try.
The refusal Of the District attor-
ney to condemn twenty-nIne dozen
bottles, valued at $3,4SO, at the re-
quest Of the Bureau of Chemistry
was based on the reason that per-
sons who buy the drink with the
hope of getting the real article are
not entitled to protection, but must
swallow their loss and disappoint-
ment-so to speak. The refusal-was
also based on the admission by the
department that the contents of the
sample quart bottle-which retails
at S1O-was not an adulterated ar
ticle, although apparently mis-
branded in violation of the pure
food and drugs act.
The department had two reasons
for wanting the consignment con-
demned and destroyed. First, that
the bottle was all dressed up like
a real bottle of 'Mumm's" cham
pagne and was so labeled - but
above the word 'Mumm's" was
printed in very small letters Non
Alcoholic" and below the word
Champagne" in letters just as
small, was the word style" but
was nothing more than carbonated
cider valued at 80 cents a quart
real value.

PA. STATE LEADERS
GET PENROSE o. K,

Pennsylvania State leaders, in
cluding the speaker of the House
and president pro tempore of the
Senate, yesterday obtained the o. X.
of Senator Boies PenrOse to a set
tlement of the Legislative organiza-
tiOn situation. -
Following the conference it was
announced by the members of the
delegation in the presence of Sem
ator Penrose that he had approved
of every thing they had done and
planned to do"
This statement was amplified
with the information that as far
as committee appointments were
concerned, it was the intention Of
the legislative leaders to rename
all the chairmen that had been re-
elected and to go by the rule of
seniority in other cases. Every
member of the delegation said that
nothing had been touched upon in
the nature of a legislative program
and that such a decision must
necessarily wait upon the message
to the legislature by Gov. Sproul.

Did You
See This?

The orchestra at the willard Tea
Room tuned up softly. The dis
cordant sounds toned to harmony,
and the airy, whimsical music start
ed. Gay crowds streamed in for
the five o'clock cup. The fountain
played soothingly, and in the warm,
atmosphere, the guests
seemed to forget that the weather
was disagree able without.
Outside in Peacock Alley, there
was a slight rifle Of curiosity when
the boy vainly PACED Mr.. MacSwin-
ney. An impatient woman recog-
nized her escort approaching leisure
ly. She arose, and without a word
of greeting or an exchange Of smiles
they went into the tea room. There,
they became delighted with each
other, and struck effective attitudes
whilst putting at cigarettes.

The substitute bill was accom-.
Tpanied by a letter from the Commis-
sioners, stating that since the bill
was introduced the Secretary of

sioners he would consent to legis-
latiOn providing for the transfer Of
the site of the old hospital for liz
brary purposes.

lie until Congress has provided
funds for operating expenses, and

Ham Tells Stockholders
Years Receipts Below
Just Return.

4 hazy future for the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
and subsidiary bodies, including
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, was forecasted by William f.
Ham, president, in his report to
the annual meeting of the stock
holders yesterday.
Present returns, he said, are in
adequate to the needs of the COM
panies, and their earnings ARE still
far below what constitute a rea-
sonable return upon the invest
ment.' He explained that the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company could not function prop
erly on a fare considered reason
able for the Capital Traction Com
pany, which he described as Cen
trally located. with dense traffic
and small suburban mileage"
A reduction of % per cent in the
number of accidents on the COM
panies lines and a decrease of 80
per cent in the number of claims
presented were reported. A total
of $1,136,277.18 was spent on main
tenance and improvement of way
and structures.
The need of new capital for the
Potomac Electric Power Company
was emphasized. Ham stated that
bonds issued by the traction and
power companies during the past
year failed to find a market. A
balance of $297,911.O9 for 1920 was
reported. The outstanding capital
was given as $46,924,6OO.

When. the meeting was dismissed
they approached the scoutmaster, H.
L. Taylor, of the Department Of Jus
tice, and said, "Scoutmaster, we're
not scouts, but we'd like a chance
to help the lady"
Taylor saw that they were given
an opportunity to 9oin in the troop
good turn" and within a short time
he also had the pleasure of enrolling
them as full-fedged scouts of

At Thanksgiving and Christmas
time this troop was busy distribut-
ing good cheer at the Children's $
Home and FOundling's Home, and in
addition provided for two needy
families. Surely this troop may be
counted as a valuable community
asset.
