Until the evening this is not a
lucky day, according to astrology,
for Saturn has sinister power and
Neptune is adverse. In the evening
Venus is in benefc aspect.
Criticism of all that belongs to h
old order of things is likely to be
encouraged by this planetary gov
eminent.
Saturn frowns on all who have
held the reins of power in state or
business, making for them a period
of depression and encouragement.
The sway is not a favorable one
for labor. and organization is under
a threatening direction of the stars.
Venus is in an aspect read rs most
promising to love affairs, which
should be lucky. the evening being
an suspicious time for suitors.
1t is a happy wedding day. since
all who marry under this aspect will
find that romance fingers long and
constancy is encouraged.
Hotels will benefit greatly this
month, for the planet hat gives
profit is powerful.
This should be a good day for all
who cater to the needs of women,
whether in merchandise or in serv-
ice.
Dealers in clothing, jewels, pic
lures and beautiful objects of every
sort should sell to the best advant'
age today.
There is a sign read as exceeding
ly menacing to those who inforce
the prohibition law, but the seers
declare that traffic in strong drink
eventually will be efectually cur
tailed.
Women have the most promising
stars to guide them today. All their
ambitions should be fostered during
this rule.
There is a lucky sign for all pub
lie movements in which women are
interested. Their organizations
should prosper.
Venus is read as foreshadowing
the rapid growth of women's power
in all public affairs.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
should pay special attention to all
business matters during the coming
year, but they should safeguard the
health and avoid overwork.
Children born on this day will
prosper best as employees, as they
may need guidance for their un-
usual talents. Neptune is their
principal planetary ruler.

Great Growth In juvenile
Book Circulation Is
ShoUn At The Library

The growth of the children's de-
partment of the public library is evil
denced by the item on the January
report which shows an increase of
1855 in circulation for the month of
January. 1921. over the correspond
ing month in 1920. At the last meet
ing of the library board, 1t was de-
cided that more books be added to
the shelves in the children's room
as the demand for them is many
times greater than the number that
can be supplied. Very often the
shelves are almost entirely empty,
emphasizing the popularity of the
library with the children.
The juvenile department is now
in the hands of Miss Edna Oliver who
has plans for many institutions for
the children. The section has already
been fitted up to look more attrac-
tive, with a corner with books for

WHY MRS. LOT LOOKED BACK
Reason Explained, but Today 1t Is the
Man Who Usually Does
the Turning.

The mystery of why Lots wife
turned around, womanlike, after being
warned specifically not to, was ex-
planned by Alexander Black, novelist,
at dinner of the Society of Arts and
Science, New York.
Mr.. Black said Mrs. Lot merely
wanted to see if she was being fol-
lowed by a man.
The subject Of profound debate was

IT was discussed with lights turned
low under red shades.
Mr.. Black said it is now the man
who does the turning around and look

BOUNDARY DRAWN BY NATURE
ural Dividing Line Between the

The Caucasus range, one of the
most remarkable of all geological
phenomena, is the boundary between
Europe and Asia, and an almost inn
penetrable wall which can be crossed
by vehicles or horsemen in only two
places, known as the Darrell and the
Manisson passes. From the begin
ming of history until the middle ages
it was the boundary Of the world.

Remarkable Discovery.

A remarkable discovery with regard
to the blood, says the Scientific Amer
lean, has just been made by ply
sician in LOnOdn. In making serums
the doctor got the needed plasma from
the blood of horses. After he had
drawn off the plasma, he injected the
red corpuscles into the horses again.
The result was that the horses imme-
diately formed new blood fluid of nor
NAL composition. 1t will take some
time to determine the full possibili-
ties of so startling discovery, but it
is likely to have an important bearing
on the practice as well as the theory
of medicine.

ally acquainted with his friends. A
helper with this equipment, whose eff
cheney is proved, cannot easily be re-
placed.
Mr. Cleveland was man who was
likely to ruffie peoples feelings. La

nered; he made things smooth. SO

incidentally, when Lamont relin-

rated a multimillionaire.

years. He then entered public life as
the secretary of several public officials.
When he was fourth assistant post
master general he was called to do
some shorthand work for President
Cleveland, who held on to him ana
made him executive clerk. President
Mckinley made him assistant secre-
tary and then appointed him secretary.
President Roosevelt made him his priv
ate secretary.
Cortelyou made a most efficient Sec
rotary. A man of suave and graceful
manner and gifted with exceptional
tact, he was a born diplomat. 1t is
said of him that he never refused
anybody anything. Someone once
called him ''the great American prom
iser' Even if the person calling on
him was total stranger, he would
listen politely, write special" on the
persons card and indicate that the
matter should receive immediate at
tention.
Anyway, Roosevelt liked him well
enough to make him member of the
cabinet, where he filled three places
in quick succession: Secretary of COM
merce and labor, postmaster general
and secretary of the treasury. Later,
the erstwhile shorthand reporter ac-
cepted a job at $4,000 year as head
of big company, and today he is an
important man in the world of finance.
William Loeb, Jr., began his public
career as private secretary to Cover

He lives at Oyster Bay.
Taft's Three Secretaries.
President Taft had three secretar-
les. The first to serve in that capaci-
ty was Fred Carpenter, who was sue
ceeded by Charles d. Norton. The
third, Charles d. Hilles, served as
Taft's political manager during his IN
successful campaign for reelection. He
was an assistant secretary of the
treasury before he became Taft's Sec
cretary. He was chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, 1925.
He is in business in New York.
Joseph Patrick Tumulty, President
Wilson's secretary, is a college man
and a lawyer. He was a member of
the New Jersey legislature, 1907-10,
and then became secretary to Cover
nor Wilson. President Wilson appoint
ed him, just before the change in adj
ministrations, member of the inter-
national joint commission between the
United States and Canada. Mr. Tu-
multy declined the appointment He
is now practicing law.
An interesting prediction is that
sooner or later we shall have a pres
ident who will appoint a woman as
his private secretary. 1t is argued
that it is exactly the job for a wom-
an, because it involves the handling
of an immense number of details.
Women are the great systematizers
of detail; in this respect men cannot
compare with them. For this reason
it is that nowadays the heads of huge
corporations and other big business
concerns commonly have women secre-
