HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY DECEMBER u, 1921.

Astrologers read this as a doubt
full day. While Neptune, Jupiter
and Venus are In benefic aspect
Mars and Uranus are in adverse. '
/ Merchants should benefit from
the sway of Jupiter and Venus,
which should assure them large
volume of trade.
Jewellers should profit greatly
from this aspect which encourages
the buying of gems and precious
metals.
There is an suspicious sign for
the sale of women's wear of every
description.
Furs and rich fabrics are under
direction of the stars that is held
to make them especially alluring.
This is q wedding day read as
lucky, so far as the prosperity Of
the bride and bridegroom is con-
cerned, but they should avoid quar-
rels as they will be particularly
unfortunate.
Entertainments Of the lighter
sort are well directed and there Is
an especially auspacious sign for
oAhciHk, winch Is TO be, II possible,
more popular than ever.
New forms of amusement are
foreshadowed and there will be
widespread interest in a novel
form of entertainment ...
College students and all young
persons should benefit during this
government of the stars which
presages gifts. favors and many
pleasures.
Mars and Uranus are in aspects
that seem to indicate some soxt-of
violence that will arouse the people.
Dissensions of every sort may be
serious under this rule, which leads
to extreme bitterness
Chicago is to gain precedence as
a musical center and a city in
which there is a movement that
encourages alt the arts.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
have the forecast of an active year.
There should be much happiness in
In the domestic CIRCLE.
Children born on this day may
nave many talents that may be
wisely used These subjects of
Capricorn usually prosper, and

that, Anxious.
Dear Miss Blake.-I am keeping

out we always start an argument

PUzzl|NG FORM Of
ILLNESS ON SOUTH SIDE

Mrs. Sol Fisher. 1908 Carteret Avenue.
wife of a veteran steel worker, was
stricken with paralysis in the back of
her neck Friday, last, and while suf-
fering no pain, is confined to her bed.
The case is one of the most peculiar
and puZzling on record. Mrs. Fisher
was engaged in her household duties
when suddenly she lost physical con-
troll of her head. At the same time the
back of her neck hardened and became
fiercely hot Her speech was not in
terfered with, but any way her head
became unbalanced and she was -pow-
erless to control it. A physician was
called and she received all medical
aid possible.
Sunday the lady discovered that she
was gradually regaining muscular con-
troll of her head, and improvement con-
tinued. the attending physician opin-
ing that in a couple of weeks she will
be fully recovered.
Tests by pin punctures on various
parts of Mrs. Fishers body and limbs
indicate no appearance OF paralysis
only in the back of her neck. An
the impression the lady has that
everything is upside down. She asked
her husband as he stood by the bed.
why what are you standing on your
head for?" This is due probably to
some manner in which the stroke of
paralysis has affected her optical ner-
yes. Everything in the sick room has
the appearance to her of being upside
down. The lady was resting nicely
yesterday afternoon and slowly i'm
proving.

cost will be paid by bond issue, to
be repaid in annual installments be-

therefore. that the carrying out of this

Broken Water Main
Is Quickly Repaired

Because of broken eight-inch
water main at the north end of the
Victoria avenue bridge over the Ar
kansas river. IL was necessary that the
water be shut off from business
houses and residences between the
bridge and the Santa Fe tracks yester-
day morning while the break was re-
paired. 1t is thought that the pipe
broke about o'clock in the morning.
The pipe was n temporary main laid
Immediately after the flood to be used
to carry water to the south side. so
the break did not affect large area
1t is thought that the break occurred
because the piles under the bridge
were being strengthened. and thereby
exerting considerable pull on the pipe.
This main lies parallel to the tracks
OF the A. v r. L. & P. company. and
the water from the broken pipe under
mined the tracks at the north end Of
the bridge, which were washed away
about six feet under the street level,
causing the tracks and pavement to
sag. The traction company had the
damage to its property repaired yes

WHY CHANGE
THE CHARTER?

The present Charter of Pueblo pro-
vides for three commissioners. elected
by the people. They administer the
affairs of the City and are subject to
recall.
The present Charter also provides
for three Civil Service Commissioners.
also elected by the people entirely in
dependent of the three governing
commissioners. They appoint the City
Controller who audits all city eXpen-
ditures.
Under this arrangement Pueblo for
more than ten years has been on a
cash basis. Every expense account
has been carefully audited and com
plete monthly and yearly reports of
all city expenditures have been pub
lished.
Under the old alderman-mayor gov
ernment irregularity was the chief
characteristic of Pueblo city manage
ment. Under the present charter
management regularity has been in
evidence. Who can point to an illegal
expenditure or an Illegal City war
rant in ten years?
The progress of Pueblo in changing
from the alderman mayor to the COM
mission form is as striking as was the
progress of Dayton, Ohio. from the
alderman-mayor to the manager
form. What the manager form did
for Dayton. Ohio. the commission
form did for Galveston, Texas. and is
doing for Pueblo.
Then why change the present
charter Why under the name Of
manager abolish the independent
Civil Service commission and Con-
troller for a civil service and controll-
err appointed by the expanding power?
Why should the expanding officers
appoint their own auditors? Why
not, then, vote against this manager
plan which abolishes an almost per-
feet auditing system which for ten
years has protected the city against
irregular expenditures?
