STARS SAYS U. s. TOPROCRESS
 NEXT YEAR

BINGHAMTON, N Y, Dec. 20.- Watch Uncle Sam progress during 1923. ".
 That's the little tip the stars hold for you as you peer into the coming year, if you would accept the seers interpretation of the heavenly bodies that will rule during 1923.
 The annual Macdonald astrologi- cal forecast-an almanac that cir culates internationally to the ex- tent of several hundred thousands just out, predicts that "a great amount of good in the way of leg islation will be accomplished, and the year is one especially favaroble for the Government and those in high positions of trust It will be known as year of human relationship, with great spiritual development"
 All to Prosper
 The astrologist foresees a steady and active business period in the affairs of men as the new year ad- vances and much activity in real es- tate transactions and products of the earth"
 Moreover, he forecasts a great deal of building and busy period to bankers and capitalists, with the common people to share in the busi. ness successes through steady em- ployment generally"
 Then the modern oracle goes on to tell:
 Saturn will have influence on weather conditions throughout the year. Saturn years are generally cold and wet, with bad weather con ditions. The springs are unpleasant, the nights cool until late in the sea son. Summer cool, with frequent local hard rains and high winds, ac- companied with heavy thunder lightning and hail. Crops in various sections will be devastated.
 Falls and winters are cold, wet and severe-early freezing, snow fall in October. Lakes and rivers freeze up and stay so. Food and fuel should be provided in abundance. as both will be in great demand and the market active.
 "some Disappointment"
 "The outlook in the astrological chart is favorable for steady, per sistent conditions, with some disap- pointments, lack of harmony, and unrest between labor and capital. The year will bring thrift, steady plodding, fair dealing and greater achievements along industrial, com mercial and constructive lines and wages commensurate with the kind of work performed. ase ff .a-
 "No great rushes, sudden changes, big failures, big losses or big for tunes, but tactful, cautious methods "a settled down condition with less anxiety and trying to get ahead.
 Stock schemes will not flourish the public will be cautious about speculative ventures which will not stand wide investigation"

WOMANS PARTY UNDAUNTED BY
 RECENT SLAP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Not bit discouraged by the failure of women candidates in the recent elections to "come through" leaders of the Nation al Woman's Party are continuing to plan ways and means of eventually gaining for the gentle sex" posi- tion in the political life of the nation tantamount to that now occupied by mere man."
 Although frankly disappointed at the outcome of the election, which failed to witness the seating of a single woman in the next Congress, leaders of the party nevertheless are more confident today than ever before that their cause will ultimately triumph.
 If you believe it it's so" Is the at. titude of the party leaders. Opti mism pervades the atmosphere around headquarters.
 The prime objective of the party is to gain for women an equal represen tation with men in all legislative bodies throughout the country,
 "The ideal from the Woman's Party point of view."' Miss Alice Paul. vice president of the organization. said re gently. would be 50.5O representa- tion of men and women in all legis lative bodies.
 ''We were disappointed at the fail ure of women candidates to gain a single seat in the next Congress in the recent elections, but the splendid showing made by them was encourag. ing and served to materially strength. en our belief that in the not far dis. tant future women will have achieved a 50-50 proportion, thus giving to them the decisive influence which they ought to have in the national politics. ' out luc cIlOIJS LII LH0 party, MISS Paul continued, will not be directed solely to obtaining for women an equal representation with men in polt tics only
 "We are striving to place women upon an equal footing with men in all walks of life." she said We will make every effort humanly possible to break down the existing barriers between men and women in business industry and even in the home. We will fight and fight hard enough to win, to eliminate the discriminations now practiced against women, not only in private industry, but also in the Government service. And when this has come to pass it will be conclus ively proven that woman, instead of being the helpless, weak thing which mere man thinks she is, is equally as capable of performing duties of the highest offices as the male of the species"

Boycott Proposed by I. S. U.
AS Result of Plan For

Duluth, Mimi, March 15.-In the.
opinion of Harley Davidson, veteran
expert of speed and fancy skating, the
recent open letter Of J.. T. Fitzgerald.
president of the International Skat-
ing Union to the effect that profess
stonal skaters in the northwest would
be barred from eastern vents should
the. new western league be formed, is
the second development in the war
wheel. N@
Davidson, skating manager OF the
Duluth Curling. club, was among the
western promoters disappointed last
month when eastern stars, after con-
tracing to appear in a series of races
in this region cancelled their dates
and left st. Paul, Duluth, Winnipeg
and Milwaukee managers holding the
bag. This action of the skating stars
resulted in the organization Of the
new loop to be operated separately
from the international body.
The reason given for the break from
the union was that 'the promoters
had been forced to face a series Of
uncalled for disappointments." .I.
Mr.. Davidson believes the new
northwest circuit would be a success.
cracks in these parts to hold the at
tention of the fans. He went SO far
as to estimate that a card Of north
western skaters would draw as we'll
as a program of races staged by east
ern entries.
At any rate, it is the belief of local
skating followers that the action OF
the national body in placing a ban on
western and northwestern skaters
would not cause the hardship antici-
pated by the international president.
1t is said the new organization was
perfected after the eastern entries
