LIFE AND CHARACTER READING.
November 18th.

The governing sign of this date is
Scorpio, the middle sign of the water
triplicity. The governing planet is
Mars and the astral colors are golden
brown and black. The birthstone>is
topaz. The Scorpio person has an in
tense love of praise and fattery and if
husband does hot praise and Hatter
Scorpio wife, he has, not infrequent-
ly, pretty hard time of it. The edu-
cation of the male has been different,
therefore they are not always exacting
in small things, but when aroused, they
want to kill, and sometimes do. The
people born on this date are usually
robust and inclined to corpulency in
middle life. They have dusky COM
plexions and dark hair and eyes

No Use At All
BY BERTON BRALEY

| started out in my career
To 'get the money" while could,
For though the poets scoff and sheer,
To have bunch of kale is good.
And in life's swift and busy whirl
l gathered jack with all my skill,
But failed to win me any girl,
And what is Jack" without Jill?
What though my balance at the bank
BE beautiful to gaze upon,
I find my lifeis bleak and blank
Without a girl to carry on;
So though toiled with all my might
To put the cold cash in my till,
/ find my work is wasted, quite;
For what is f'jack" without Jill?
y
Put money in your purse; twill give
The laugh to want and hunger dread,
1t makes things brighter while you live
And pays to plant you when you're
dead;
But having money lacks in pith,
1t brings on fun, no joyous thrill,
Without girl to share it with, :
For what is Jack" without.a jill!

FAMOUS

Philadelphia, barring unexpected
rescue, will tear down two historic
houses, famed as homes of Ben
Franklin and Edgar Allan Poe. Some
think "The Raven" was written in
the Poe house. The other dwelling
is where Poor Richard lived when he
arrived from Boston. ~
So it goes all over the country, lit
tie respect for historical relics, es-
pecia1ly old buildings. Ford has the
typically American idea = that today
and tomorrow are the really import
ant, yesterday is gone and might as
well be forgotten.
Luckily, the destroyers cannot tear
down "The Raven" or Ben Franklin's
homely philosophy.

Gagged

Explorers bring word that girls on
Neu-P ommern Island, in the South
Pacific, are confined in cages when
three years old and kept there until
marriage. The cages are indoors. \
Woman's fight through the centur-
les has been to get out of her cage.
Most of the bars are torn down now,
in America. If the law of reactions
holds true, men eventually may have
their turn at being Gagged. The Gag
ing process is we'll under. way. Vol
stead contributed few bars.

Deposits in New York savings banks have in
creased four times over in the last Is years,
which is about twice the rate of increase in
population in the same period. It is equival-
ent to saying that prosperity has doubled in the
past quarter of a century, Two-thirds of that
time was under Republican management of the
national government, and the record would have
been even more striking had the country not
suffered the eight years of Democratic depres-
sion.

IF YOU ARE WELL BRED.

You know that as soon as you be-
come engaged to man etiquette de-
mands that his parents call immedi-
ately upon yours. In the most correct
circles this call is always made within
"a hours after the announcement.
If the young man happens to be an
orphan his nearest relative should
make the call. Even deep mourning
does not excuse his family from this
social obligation.

ore cost 81 a ton at Lake Erie docks.
All this is generally accepted as more
economical"
However, in the days when iron ore was
handled by Wheel-barroW and hand-shovet,> the
ore cost 81 a ton at Lake Erie docks.
Today the price is between S. and Sc ton.
1t looks as if the more economical the pro-
cess, the higher the cost.
You find the same state Of contradiction In
wheat. In 1860 the cash price of wheat at
Chicago was as low as Sc cents busHel To-
day, even with farm prices far too low COM
pared with other prices, wheat costs lot more
than it did in 1860.
All this, despite the introduction of tremend-
dous labor-saving devices and processes in
growing the wheat and shipping it to market
In general, it seems that labor-saving devices
tend to increase selling price, on the average
and in the long run.
This is counteracted by two important
things:
FlRSI: line buying power OF the dollar mas
changed A dollar represents less buying pow
er, today, than SO cents did when grandpa was
boy. Every one has more dollars, too, so the
dollar is not fair measure of price.
SECOND: The introduction of labor-saving
devices and processes has released human la
Dor for other work This enables humanity to
produce thousands of articles for general use
where in the old days such commodities were
numbered by the hundreds. We of today have
wider assortment of articles, both necessities
and luxuries, than few generations ago.
That is the long-range trend, higher STAN
dard Of living. Price is secondary. When a
dollar would buy almost anything, as old men
put it, "the trouble was, no one had the dollar"
