LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING.


A person born on this date must
struggle against melancholy, sad
feelings and depression OF spirits.
Men of this birthdate are not apt
10 marry, although they have a great
love for the opposite sex. One of the
greatest faults OF this person is the
habit OF talking too much and the
bad habit OF interruption when
others are talking There is also
lack Of good judgment at times.
The women Of this birthdate are
always asking why and wherefore
and are forever looking for explana-
tions and reasons. This tendency 10
nag is not confined TO their own
households but to every one within
their range.
The governing sign OF this birth
date is Leo, and the governing
planet is Mars.

Motion to Recommit Will Be
Voted on Friday After
noon at 8 O'clock.
WATSON AND HEFLIN
ATTACK RECOMMITTAL
Charge That Big Money Inter
ests Are Behind Opposi-
tiOn to the Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-An agree
ment for a vote Friday at o'clock
on the motion to recommit the soldiers
bonus bill was reached by the senate
late today by unanimous consent. The
result of the vote, leaders of both fac
tions agreed, was. not in doubt, recon-
initial, as requested by President
Harding in his address yesterday to
the senate being deemed certain.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, re-
publican leader, secured the agreement
at the close of another days assault
by democratic senators. Mr.. Lodge
said the recommittal motion was in
the way of other important legis-
lation such as the anti-beer and
maternity bills. In agreeing to vote,
however, democrats gave nptice that
they would not only oppose the re-
publican motion, but also would seek
to instruct the finance committee to
report the bill back at an early date.
Senator Watson, of Georgia, and
Hef1in, of Alabama, led the democratic
attack today on the motion to recon-
init. Senator Myers, democrat, Mon
tana, however, advocated recommittal
and much of the day was given to a
clash between him and Senator Wat
SON.
The voting agreement involves hold
ing the bonus measure and the re-
conmittaI motion before the senate
continuously until the roll call Friday.
It was reached after republican sena-
tors who continued to refrain from re-
plying to the democratic assaults, gave
up hope of securing a vote either to-
day or tomorrow. Private overtures
for q. vote tomorrow were rejected by
democatfc senators who insisted that
ample time should be given for pre-
senting the opposing argument to the
country.
That President Harding had exceed
ed his constitutional limitations in ask
ing the senate to postpone considera-
tion of the bill was asserted by Sena-
tor Watson. The republican move, he
said. was to send the bill 'to a chloro-
form committee presided over by a
cbIoroform senator" That the repub-
licans proposed putting the bill to
s1aen forever" was asserted also by
Senator Hefin.
senator Helm charged that big
money interests had contributed to
election of a republican president and
congress and now were saying:
sDeliyer the goods" The same in

$780, 900 FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT NA VAL AIR STATION
RETURN OF "OLD NAVY MAN TO
NAVAL AIR STATION RECALLS OLD
STORY OF EXCITING EXPERIENCES

James Shade, chief quartermaster,
u. S. NJ, returned to Pensacola
yesterday and is now on duty at the
naval air station after an absence
of about two years. Chief Shade
has been with the Goodyear COM
many at Akron since leaving the
service, performing the duties of a
chief tester VI balloons.
Chief Shade is one of the best
known naval men who ever served
on the local station. He Qw pne
of the "old navy" men ana has
about three years to do before re-
firing from the service.
Probably the most noted of Chief
Shades stunts was his famous free
balloon hop in the fall of 1917. Chief
Shade was one of the first free ball
loonists of the navy and was pre-
pairing a balloon for a flight on the
occasion mentioned when sudden
squall tore the balloon from its
moorings allowing it to ascend rap
idly.
The basket had not been hooked
on and the balloon had great buoy
ancy. When it leaped free, Chief
Shade was caught in the rigging
and carried up with it. The ball
loon quickly rose to great altitude,
tossing and pitching in the squall,
with Chief Shade swinging from the
web like stone on the end of a
string.

LEADERS READY
TO TALK PEACE.
in IRISH FIGHT
Premier Lloyd George and Ea-
monn De Valera to Meet in
Preliminaries Today.
TO PAVE WAY FOR
THE CONFERENCE
Irish Leader Not Likely to
Press Claim for an indie
pendent Republic.
t5y The Associated Press.l

LONDON, July ia conversation
which, it is hoped, may mark the last
act of one phase of Ireland's troubu-
Ious history and serve as prelude
to the long sought peace in the island
is to take place in the dingy old cab
met room in Downing street tomorrow,
when the British prime minister, Mr..
Lloyd George and the Irish republican
leader, Eamonn de Valera, meet in an
effort to clear the stage for holding a
"three party" conference in which
Great Britain, the Sim Fein and UI-
ster will endeavor to compose their
differences.
One of the most convincing indica-
tions of the fervency of the hope that
the meeting will presage an era of
peace is the reluctance of both the
government and the Irish circles to
discuss the probable details of the in
itial session, both parties insisting that
the situation is so delicate that sin
gle unfortunate word might eriously
prejudice whatever chance of ultimate
success exists.
Both sides have propaganda mills
fully organized and ready for business,
but both are silent. This reticence is
heightened by the fact that break
down of the negotiations which are
now finally under way would in all
likelihood result in bitter recrimina :
tions, accusations and possibly the re-
sumption of armed conflict, an after
math which for Ireland would be a
worse state of affairs than if the pour
parlers had never been instituted.
But while there was little word for
the public regarding the proceedings
the eve of the conference saw intense
activity in both camps. The premier
reviewed the situation with a large
staff of advisers in the solitude of his
country home, while Mr.. de Valera
spent the day and the evening in TAX
ing counsel with Arthur Griffith and
other aides accompanying him, to-
gether with many London partisans
To a question as to whether Mr.. de
velera would enter the conference
with definite policy to which he was
pledged to adhere, one of his asso-
ciates said:
1.-TWO weeks ago any of us could
have answered that question briefly
and certainly, but the position is al
tered now.
Those who have followed recent
events closely believe this an indi-
cation that the Irish leader would not
press the claim for an independent re-
public, but play cards" in an effort
to learn the utmost Great Britain was
prepared to give, which would be sub
mitted to the Dali Eireann for consid-
Grafton or acceptance.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, is crossing from Belfast tonight
and will be at hand if the obstacles
