The Fire Department met again in
the Borough Hall on Monday night.
While the ordinance governing the
department and the bylaws in prep
aration call for meetings once a month
it was deemed advisable to continue the
weekly meetings until the new organ
ization is in good shape. There are
many things that should be acted upon
at once, so that the firemen will be in
full working order at the earliest pos
sible date.
There was a good attendance, nearly
all of the members being present. This
of itself indicates the renewed interest
that has been awakened among the
men.
After the meeting a generous lunch
con of sandwiches and coffee was
served, being the free contribution of
Maurice S. Perlmutter of the Broad
st. delicatessen.

SUNDAY, AUG. Fl.
This is read by astrologers as an ex-
ceedingly unfortunate day. Saturn and
Mars are both IN strongly malehc aspect
Mars is in a place indicating a strong
sentiment for war and military achieve
ments, which win cause widespread dis
cussion.
Saturn IS In an aspect not at all favor
able for disarmament since all the re-
dictionary forces are set into activity by
the planetary rule
Great and important changes affecting
the whole world are prophesied to follow
the conjunction OF Jupiter and Saturn
next month.
The conjunction Of Mars and Nuptunt
this week Is not good for many Of mems

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERs

(The Hoopers, an average American
family Of five, living In a suburban
town, on a limited income. Will tell
the readers OF the Daily Times how
the many present-day problems OF
the home are solved by working on
the budget that Mrs. Hooper has
evolved and found practical. Follow
them daily In an Interesting review
OF their home lire and learn to meet
the conditions Of the high cost Oh
living with them)
The Saturday work would have been
very much sighted because Of the ex-
element OF the children over the pros
pect Of packing the camping kit If Mrs
Hooper had not been very firm in the
insistence that nothing was to be done
until father returned from the office
There was plenty Of time, as they were
not to start until daylight on Mon
day morning, and as everything had been
checked I'D and the provisions and bed
ding and camp equipment were ell piled
together on the basement door 1t was
scarcely an afternoons work for Henry
and Roger and Billy to pack them and
store them away in their proper places In
the car.
All three suitcases had been packed
and each one carried its supply Of SOAP
and towels and talcum and first aid
remedies. besides the few clothes they
needed other than those they would wear
Il think it would have been a better
idea to put all our things Tito one
suitcase" said Henry when Mr.. Hooper

POLITICS IN
DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE HIT
Harding Said to FrOwn EN-
Party Plea for Foreign
Appointments.
HIGH PLACES EXPECTED
Special 10 Indiana Daily Times
md phVadeIphfa. Public Ledger.

Special 70 Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2o.-GOing far
beyond anything any Of his predecessors
undertook for the development or a pro-
fessional diplomatic service. President
Harding has set his face sternly against
permitting the interests Of politics to
operate to the prejudice of the probes
sional diplomats Of the Nation
Circumstances require Mr. Harding TO
eli the major diplomatic offices with men
whose chief recommendations are poll
tics Such posts as those at London
Paris and Rome are, almost of necessity,
occupied, as in the past, by men who
are more or less the personal represen-
tatives Of the President as the constitu-
tiozhI agent for the initiation or inter
national policies
JoLTs FOOTBALL
TACTICS.
But the President does propose that the
Lmen who have entered the diplomatic
service Of the United States as a career
shall not become political footballs as
long as his viii prevails, nor shall the
door 10 promotion be closed TO them by
the avarice OF politicians.
It would be a little too far, perhaps,
Morgan, ambassador to Brazil; Oseph
c. Grew, minister to Denmark; William
Phillips, Minister 10 Holland and Hugh
Gibson. minister TO Poland. are TO re-
main at the posts to which they We're
sent by the Wilson Administration, but
they Will not be reduced in rank nor
appointed to other legations or embassies
simply and solely because their elevation
happened to have been made by a Demo
cratic Administration.
There IS a strong probability that the
first important promotion By men in
service Will be that OF George T. sum
merl.ng, now charge D'Affaires at Mexico
City, who is slated 10 so TO MontevtdeO
as American minister 10 Uruguay.
WHITLOCK
NOT ELIGIBLE
President Harding does not regard
Brand WhitlOck. from Ohio, former mayor
OF Toledo and ambassador to Belgium,
as eligible to classification with the pro-
fessional diplomats. The appointment OF
Mr. Whitlock by President Wilson was a
political one and always has been so re
garded in Washington
There is a feeling that President Hard
ing could do nothing of greater value to
the prestige OF the United States abroad
than to let it be known that trained diplO-
mats were to be the Spokesman for this
year. TIE manner IN which some OF the
= political appointees have brought tteir
country and themselves into ridicule IN
the past has been an effective deterrent
TO adoption Of the service as a career by
many young men who ultimately would
reflect great credit on this Government

by David Cory

You remember in the last story Puss
was in the rickshaw, drawn by a great
big immense stork on the way to Maya
sakl. and that he had fallen asleep when
the little wind from the blue ocean began
to sing:
Tho big white stork with his long, thin
legs,
Is dragging the rickshaw over the sand.
And the little queer boats that sail on
the sea
Are rocking and rolling and nodding to
me.
And strange flowers bloom on the green
huly lind.
And the little birds sing from tho sweet
orange tree"
Here we are" cried the stork, and
be stopped suddenly, and Puss awoke and
rubbed his eyes. Here we are in Maya
saki." So Puss sat up and looked about
him. People were running to and fro,
and there were coIored lanterns every
where. For 1t was just the time Of early
evening, you know.
The little japanese children had long
strings Of lanterns swinging between
long poles, and some Of the lanterns
looked like butterflies, pink rs pink could
De. and others were green and looked
like dragons,
at is the Feast Of Lanterns" said the
great Stork. Are you hungry"
yes" said Puss. SO the Stork
brought him some raw fish and bamboo
shoots and seaweed jelly. And the Stork
ate some rice and white beans And after
that they watched the people, and when
midnight came the Stork took Puss down
to the beach, where thousands Of little toy
boats filed with nice things to eat, and
lit up by lanterns, Were sent floating out
to sea.
And when all the boats, mean all
but one. were launched, and the people
had all gone away, the stork said
would you like to go for a sail? This
one little boat is mine"
''Will you go with met" asked Puss.
Certainly" answered the stork So
he and Puss left the rlckshaw on the
sand and got into the boat, which was
full Of nice things to eat, and then away
they sailed. Away from Nagasaki, in
Japan, out on the ocean wide and blue.
And then Puss fell asleep, and when
he woke up in the morning there was no
land anywhere, only the blue water, and
all the pretty lanterns had burned out,
all except one in the bow Of the little
boat 1t looked just like the morning
star, Puss>thought as he rubbed his eyes
and looked over to where the Stork
stood on /one leg with his head under
his wing, fast asleep.
Well, as soon as Puss had blown out
the little lantern, for he thought it might
be useful when night came again, he ate
some persimmons and two oranges, and
then he woke up the Stork, who, I guess,

the Stork opened a Japanese parasol,
and in the next story you shall hear
