The New German Danger

The current number of the Journal of the American
Bankers association dcvotes considerable space 10 a
discussion of the problem of how Germany be made
to pay the huge reparaons without nfcting ser,
ions injury upon the nations to whom the indemnity is
paid
At first this to be very simple matter.
1f Germany pays the United States many hundreds of
millions of dollars it woud appear that the people of
the United States would be that much richer and the
people of Germany would be that much poorer But
how is that amount to be paid! Germany cannot pay
t in gold. and il Germany had the gold it would not
help the United States much to transfer that amount
of metal TO this country where already have more
gold than is needed for our business.
IF Germany makes settlement in long time promises

According to astrology. this is an
uncertain day for while Neptune is in
benefic aspect Uranus is strongly ad-
verse.
with the entry of the sun into the
sign of Libra today Uranus is in the
second house and the Moon on the
cusp of the sixth while Mars, Jupiter
and Saturn are in the eighth house In
Virgo.
Saturn in conjunction with Jupiter
denoted much unrest among the peo-
pie and events of greatest importance
for the United States.
Waste of public money will be dis
covered despite all efforts toward
thrift in government affairs, the seers
prophesy.
Mars is in a place that threatens
railroad strikes and even riots.
Venus is in place that indicates
a mild autumn with recurring days
like midsummer.
Despite warnings to conserve capital
there will be great outlay for
amusements and theaters will benefit.
There is sign read as presaging
the death of a famous woman before
the winter has passed.
The Sun is read as indicating favor
able conditions for the advance of re-
ligion and philosophy.
Again the seers remind the people
that the conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn presage great and important
changes affecting the world general
ly." This may be favorable TO dis
armament. but is not so interpreted.
The effects of the conjunction
which took place September 10. do
not mature at once. as has been cm-
phasized, but remain in force for sew
eral years. As the conjunction rose
in Constantinople, the dismcmber-
mcnt of the Turkish empire is confid-
entity predicted by sstrologers.
Violent earthquakes are persistent
ly prognosticatcd by astrologers.
Persons whose birthdato II is should
not travel or mako any radical
changes in the coming year.
Children born on this day may he
restless and discontcntcd. These sub
iccts of Libra are often inclined to
be critical and sarcastic. but they arc
generally exceedingly bright.

Chicago, Aug 19.-To Corporal

an army hospital in February, 1919,
meant beginning life anew-the life
of blind man. In two years time, he
oday Poulsen is in the fuel and feed
business in Chicago, does a full day S
work every day and. with the aid of
his wife, is taking a correspondence
course in business management.
Poulsen was with the Sixth Regi-
ment of the Marines when a few
+hoasand troops were chosen from
the vanguard of the American Army
20 help block the German advance on
Paris in June 1918. The Sixth Ma
rines gave their aid to the allies,
but among those who were left on
the battle field was Corporal Poulsen,
fully conscious, but bleeding and
sight1ess from the burst of a high
explosive shell. Poulsen was wound
ed just one year to day from the
date he enlisted. He has been totally
blind ever since.
Following his discharge from the
army hospital, Poulsen entered Ever
green, the Red Cross School for the
Blind, in Baltimore. There he took
courses in typewriting, Braille, En-
glish, Civics and learned to make
small useful articles. He was getting
$50 a month from his War Risk In
surance but wanted to earn his own
living in addition
A year later his father offered to
give him work in his feed store in
Chicago. Young Poulsen entered the
Office and began to learn to take or
ders and direct deliveries. Today he
rs full partner in his fathers bust
ness. Now he feels that he needs
still further technical training in
business and has begun a correspond
ence course under the Federal Board
for Vocational Education He is
studying this course in his spare
time, with the aid of his wife whom
he married last year and who now

THE TICKS TAX ON DIARIES.
s 1 s Is %

Washington. n. e., Aug. 20.-The
idea prevails that if a COW does not
die from Texas fever, the cattle tick
is doing it no harm. Cattle raised in
the ttck-infested counties, it is as
serted ,are immune to ticks. There
could be no greater mistake. Cattle
may become immune to the fever but
none of them ever became immune
to the loss of blood that the tick
sucks out. With steers this means re-
duced weight and lower prices. with
dairy cows it means smaller milk pro-
duction and correspondingly smaller
profits.
Government tests conducted at the
same time, under Identical condi-
t1ons, with tick infested herds and
t1ck-free herds, show that ticks re-
duced the milk flow from IS to 42
per cent. the exact amount, depend
ing OF course, upon the degree of in
festation. Put this statement into dol
lars and cents and the true meaning
of the tick to the dairy industry be-
comes evident
suppose man owns herd of
twenty cows each of which. under
normal conditions, gives eight quarts
OF milk day and that he sells this
milk for fifteen cents a quart. His
gross returns from his herd are then
$24-OO per day. If a few ticks are
allowed to feed upon his cows, and
their production is cut down 1s pe1
cent. his returns are $19.6S. If each
