Women Analysed
BY Skies in Old
Astronomy Book

Prague, Nov. PA. p. by MaiD-
From time to time Prague gives up
to some persistent deliver in records
of the past that are not without in
tereSt. For it is an ancient city and
its museums and bookstalls are filled
with chronicles Of what its people
said and did in other centuries. A
recent discovery is an old book on
astronomy which shows that the
men of that day spent no little time
in endeavors to read what they called
the enigma of the ages" in other
words, their Womenkind. r
Based on the influence supposed to
be exerted on humans by the con-
stellation of the planets in the month
in which they were born, this volume
analyses girls, according to the cal
enqar, as follows:
n girl born in January is very
likely to become a good housewife
She will incline to melancholy, but
will have a gentle disposition. Feb
ruary girls win be good mothers and
faithful.
March maidens, however, will he
louuacious. contentious and quarrel
some, while April babies will grow
up to be mercurial and unsteady wo-
men.
May guarantees merry and good
tempered girls. while June gives them
passionate and fiery iemperaments,
with an inclination to superflciality.
July produces the roses among wo-
men according to this old sage;
beautiful but thorny. Born a month
later they are amiable and sensible,
| but rather keen for rich husbands.
Girls born in September are of fine
susceptibilities and always ready to
help others; they will, therefore. be
welcomed everywhere. but should
guard against being imposed upon by
selfish people. October favors the
earth with creatures who surpass all
others of the sex as to depth and
ardor of love.
Women born in November are
kind hearted and friendly: If they are
not it is always the fault of some
body else, never their own. The last
month of the year brings forth raey
and very good-looking girls. I'm
fortunately they cannot be recon-
mended to earnest men. for they are
very eXtravagant and always on the
hunt for sensations.

Shorter Hours in

Different TyDe

Cleveland. Dec. 10 "a. P.)-Col-
lege graduates are found in the new
class of men being assimilated today
in the Cleveland steel industry. With
the working day reduced from ~ to
eight hours. all steel mills report a
notable influx of different type OF
employee. Mountain boys from Ken
lucky and Tennessee are among
others.
Previous to the reduction in hours
1t is said at mills here, only the
hardy would apply for positions
which meant that nearly all their
waking hours would be spent around
hot metal. When the shorter day
was adopted, however. there were a
number of applications from college
graduates who were willing to begin
by cleaning the stoves Of a blast
furnace. Men formerly employed in
offices and stores also have decided
to try their hand at production,
