What the Stars Indicate
SATURDAY. JANUARY 20. 1921.

~ L N \ IA y I AK =Hs lb-ls
AstroloGers read this as rather an
UnimpOrtant day in planetary dlrec-
tion. Early in the morning Mer-
curry is in benehc aspect and later
both Jupiter and Saturn are friend
ly. In the evening Uranus is
strongly adverse.
The early hours of this day are
especially auspicious for the push
ing of publicity or advertising, both
Of which should be unusually profit
able in the new year.
Leases and contracts signed today
should be satisfactory in a financial
way and should assure pleasant as
sociations.
Authors have the forecast of a
year in which extraordinary OppOr-
tunities come to thegn. Dramatists
should benefit especially.
There is promising sign for
trade and commerce, also for build
ing, which should be very active in
the spring.
The evening of this day is espe-
cially unfortunate for love affairs.
Deception is made easy by the sin
lister aspect of Uranus.
Women should be exceedingly
careful in all their business deal
ings under this sway. which may in
cline them 10 take too many risks.
The Sun benefits railways and
postofice affairs at this time. Many
changes are foreshadowed.
Sickness OF an epidemic character
seems to be fOreshadowed for the
late winter. Sanitation should be
watched carefully.
The death OF a noted clergyman,
or scholar is presaged by the stars.
A famous scientist will suffer a
mortal illness next month.
The position of Neptune threatens
scandals in high life, and one OF
these will toucn a man in official
|pIace in the West.
Mercury is in an aspect that de-
notes much wind during the winter
and early spring. Destructive storms
at sea are indicated.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should keep the health in order and
CONSERVE nervous energy. Business
|Inay require attention. False friends

They found Patrolman James
Krebs. of the mounted police, muir
dered.
There were many peculiar circum-
stances One was that the body lay
in an open lot at the southern end
Of the city, seven miles away from
his beat. Another was that Pat
Ryan, who patrolled the beat north
of Krebs. turned into Old Main road
and found Krebs' horse coming
south
Krebs had died Of revolver
wound in the lung This wound
was bandaged. But his head, which
was uninjured, also was completely
covered with bandages, beneath
while he was gagged. The bandaging
had been skillfully done.
His feet were bound with a
length of double stranded and in
sulated wire. There were some
smears of soap on it. At one end
the copper of the two wires had
melted a trifle and the insulation
was sCOrched.
On the front Of his uniform were
particles of gray wool.
About half of the bandage about
his head obviously consisted of a
woman's underskirt torn into
strips.
Detective Charley Krebs, brother
of the murdered man. went to pieces
for the first time in his ten years
connection with the department.

Deductions ofHarveyHunt

Harvey Hunt, in n cOnfidIng
mood one day, tossed n photo
graph to his friend across the
table. You don't find prints
like those in the police fIes,- he
explained. Whys
Because they were cat prints.
And they were connected with
the T'urmyne robbery. And they
convicted Red SchOtter. Just
how did Hunt connect the i'm
preston of a cnt's-paw with the
evidence that convicted Schotters
He tells how below:

that in some manner he had OBJ
tanned prints of the cats feet while
ne was 'there and had made the
stamps from them
HIS plan went awry because the
police detectives after all were not
astute enough to attach any i'm
portance to the animals tracks, and
simply picked up Mangold on the
strength of certain individualities
in his safc-cracking. Mangold, of
course, could not mention the prints
without that mention amounting to
a confession he had been in the

7 IEALTH TIPS
IL For Nation
BY L. :. PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE.


q. My boy, aged 9 years. does not
get along in school as well as he
should. Have had his eyes exam
ined, and found it necessary to get
glasses, but do not believe he will
overcome his fault without some
additional help. His main trouble
seems to be a lazy mind or careless
ness. He is naturally of a slow
nature. but never seemed dull. He
was very bright as a child.
A Any boy who fails to make
satisfactory progress in school
should have a thorough medical
examination to determine whether
or not there is any physical ham
dicap that is holding him back. You
have already found One-pOOr Wis
ion 1t may be that an examination
of his nose and throat will reveal
the presence of adenOids, and it is
a well known fact that this con-
dition is frequently accompanied by
a dull, sluggish mentality.
AdenOids. also, result at times in
more or less deafness, and the boy
who cannot hear all the teacher
says, will naturally not get along
as well as the one who hears every
thing.
O, I have a boy IA years old in
the sixth grade-seems healthy,
rosy cheeks, loves outdoor life,
seems bright and witty at times, is
very bashful. will not talk in
school or to any one but very talk
ative at home. Very backward in
school work but can memorize
pages of verses although does not
understand same. Has a beautiful
voice, but will do him no good, as
he only sings when alone.
A. 1t would be impossible to eN-
press an opinion as to the nature Of
your boys trouble simply from the
description contained in your letter.
The making of a diagnosis requires
a thorough personal examination.
His pronounced shyness may be the
result of some defect of the nerV-
Gus system, and l would suggest
that you have him examined by a
nerve specialist. His reactions are
evidently not those of the average
boy, and 1 think he will require very

BashfuIness.
Q. have little girl 6 years old
and she has been attending school
this year. She seems able to MEM
crize anything and can remember
and tell stories that she only heard
once, yet she seems unable to learn
different figures-she can count to
ZOE, but If 1 point out any certain
figure she can't tell me what it is.
Her class is so far ahead of her that

flicted with a sort of bashfulTess
that sees to paralyze her tongue
when anyone speaks to her but me.
She is very fond of school and her
teacher. Her father was like that
when he was a child and l thought
perhaps she inherited it.
A. ! infer from your description
of the child that she is in good
health; il this is true l should not
advise taking her out of school es-
pecially since she is SO fond Of il.

NET ADVANCE In

NEW YORK, March 3O.-A moder-
ate forenoon advance was followed by
reactions in the cotton market today

day. The general market closed quiet

seller and there were reactions right
after the call, but offerings seemed to
be readily absorbed and active posi-
tons sold about % to 26 points net
higher late IN the morning with July
touching 1926 and october 13.43. An
idea that the pending conference be-
tween the war finance corporation and
southern bankers might result in the
formulation of more definite plans for
financing exports doubtless contrib
uted to the advance. Private cables
reporting that the improvement in
Manchester had been maintained and
the failure of the English markets to
show any special weakness because Of
the threatened coal strike were also
encOurag dng features. Demand did not
broaden materially, however, while
there was further scattered southern
hedge selling during the early after
noon and some liquidation by early
buyers. This eased July off to 1913
and October to 1922, or within or 8

Later fluctuations were irregular with
