Public Has Endorsed
 Nobel Prize Awards

Stockholm, Dec. 2e-The reasons for its choice of prize winners in this years awards of $2GO,0OO.OO have been announced by the Noble Insti- ute. This Swedish institution awards annual prizes of $4O.000OO each for notable achievement in the fields of physics. chemistry, medicine, litera- tune, and in the cause of peace. Some times the list of names selected is more or less surprising to the public at large, but in general the wisdom and insight of the judges is endorsed.
 The award in literature, which SC ems to arouse more popular inter than any other, goes this year. not to Thomas Hardy, as had been hoped by his Swedish friends, but to the spanish playwright Jacinto Benaven- tc who, though little known outside ot his own country, is said to have done more than any other dramatist to modernize, and bring fresh stimu- lus to the Spanish theatre. He has written about 80 plays during the last 30 years. His comedies of so- cial satire are directed at contempo- rary life in Spain, and he is not un- like Bernard Shaw in his ability to hold up the mirror to human nature. He is original in point of view, and refined in style.

P Prohibition Rooms
 Sale of Pocket Flasks

New York, Dec. 20-If the Christ mas rum fleet reported to be bound for New York from the Bahamas sue ceeds in running the blockade of the dry navy. it should find New Workers amply supplied with receptacles for toting the forbidden liquor.
 Several manufacturers declared today that the demand for flasks had trebled since the advent of prohibit tion. Shop windows with their Christ mas decorations feature clandestine drinking vessels which in "wet" days brought a shudder from society.
 Stores are selling thousands of fIasks-large ones for roomy coat pockets and small ones gracefully curved for the hip; expensive con- tainers of silver and gold and cheaper ones covered with imitation leather.
 F1asks are not the only drinking Q apparatus on display. shown in a. bundance are hollow canes, decanterS glasses never blown for milk, and
 elaborate cocktail shakers.

STARS SAY 5. s. TO PROGRESS
 NEXT YEAR
Astrological F ore cas S t. Says Much Good Leg
 is1ation Will Be Passed

Binghamton, N. Y. Dec. 2O.- Watch Uncle Sam progress during 1923.
 That's the little tip the stars hold for you as you peer into the coming g year, if you would accept the seer's interpretation of the heavenly bodies that will rule during 1923.
 The annual Macdonald astrological forecast-an almanac that circulates internationally to the extent of sev- eral hundred thousands-just out. predicts that " great amount of good in the way of legislation will be accomplished, and the year is one especially favorable for the govern ment and those in high positions Of trust. It will be known as year of human relationship, with great spiritual development"
 All to Prosper.
 The astroIogist foresees a steady and active business period in the af- fairs 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 a busy period to bank CTS and capitalists with the comm on people to share in the business sue Cesses through steady employment generally"
 Then the modern oracle goes on to tell:
 saturn will have influence on weather conditions throughout the y and wet, with bad weather condi- tions The Springs are unpleasant, the nights cool until late in the sea son. Summer cool, with frequent To- cal hard rains and high winds, ac- companied with heavy thunder, light ming and hail. Crops in various sec tions will be devastated
 Falls and Winters are cold, wet and severe-early freezing. snowfalls 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 mar ket active.
 'SOme DiSappointment."
 ''The outlook in the astrological chart is favorable for steady, persis- tent conditions, with some dlsappoint- ments, lack of harmony, and unrest between labor and capital. The year will bring thrift, steady ploddinS, fair dealing and greater achievements along industrial, commercial and con structve Ines and wages cOmmen- surate with the kind of work per formed. ''No great rushes, sudden changes, big failures, big losses or big fortunes but tactful, cautious meth hodS "a settled down condition, with less anxiety and trying to get ahead. Stock schemes will not flourlsh- the public will be cautious about in vesting in. uncertainties and specula- l tive ventures which will not stand wide investigatiOn.'
