What TodayMeans to You
Libra.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Todays planetary aspects are good
until late in the afternoon; thereafter
they are adverse. During the favorable
period much good work of an aggressive
nature can be attempted and accom-
pIished, especially along literary or COM
mercial lines. The signs indicate a de-
gree of optimism and stimulation which
will give the urge to do something
worth while. During the unfavorable
period, poise and equilibrium are es-
sentiaI, in order to avoid a condition of
dissatisfaction which might be reflect
ed in ungenerous thought and speech.
A child born today will not escape the
usual ailments to which infancy, as a
rule, is subject, but with well regulated
nutrition and good environment there
will be no occasion for either worry or
anxiety. This child will possess a none
too strong or resolute character; it's dis
position will be plant; it's mentality
keen and alert 1t will be very quick to
learn intellectually, but will be slow to
absorb lessons of moral training, and, in
order to develop it along lines of Clean
upright living and thought. it must. at
no time, be indulged, but taught force
fully. IL necessary, the right road to
travel.
If today is your birthday you stress
too much the romance Of life, and too
so much needed in this work-a-day
world. You are never satisfied with that
calm earnest affection that cements
friendship and crowns an eager love ::
you are always looking for thrills and
something different" You are Quixotic
to a degree, both in friendship and in
love, and are disappointed and dis
gruntled that you do not find in others
that quxoticism which you are so will
ling to give. ..
Deep emotion and sincerity of feeling
do not always demand or give outward
expression; the object of your affection
and love reciprocates, possibly, in a full
degree your regard and esteem, but does
not think it necessary to give external
evidence of the fact both in season and
out of season. There are many good
Christians who do not observe forms
and ceremonies, but who, none the less.
are devout and earnest, and the same
holds good with regard to the very hu-
man interests of love and friendship.
Well known persons born on this date
are: Nathan Appleton, merchant !;
George H. Boxer, author, poet and diplo-
mat; Samuel Davis, Confederate spy,
"the Nathan Hale of the South; George
Westinghouse, manufacturer; Allen
Hamilton. physician; Jenny Lind, opera
singer; A. J. Beveridge, Senator.

About Gelatin.

A decade or so ago students of nu-
triton were taught that gelatin was
mot true protein, but a protein
sparer. This was only another way
OF saying that a housekeeper offering
for dessert an attractive gelatin pud-
ding might rest assured that a small
er quantity of bodybuilding foods
would be necessary than would have
been the case if the pudding had
been composed of something less
nourshing.
Today we know that gelatin is a
true protein, but we also know that
it is not a complete one. This inti-
mate knowledge of the composition
OF the various bodybuilding foods is
one or the priceless gifts which have
come to US from the laboratories of
the food chemists. We note, for in
stance, that the protein of one type
of food ministers to one type of bod
lily needs and that of another to still
other needs. We also know, and this
is the main point. that If the body is
to have sufficient quantity of the
right kind of building material this
material must be obtained from foods
containing protein. Following this
there must be represented a number
OF protein bearing foods, so as to
make the collection an all-round one.
ana one that will really build all
parts of the body.
1t is in the application of this fact
, that we have learned to value gela-
tin. While it is not complete, 1t con-
tains Ii of the~16 elements necessary
to make body builder complete, and
this means that it is an important
food.
Moreover, the body building food
as presented in gelatin is in a form
that is particularly easy to digest. If
we are to be perfectly safe when we
depend on gelatin for a portion of
our bodybuilding material we must
see to it that the diet includes milk
and wheat, as well as the other foods
which go to make up a mixed diet.
10 return to the. dietary advan-
tages of gelatin. Taken in conjunc-
tlon with milk it has been shown that
IL acts favorably on curds formed in
the stomach when milk is swallowed.
Gelatin has tendency to make these
curos break up in the digestive sys-
tenn INTO lighter state and one that
ls capapIe or being acted upon more
easily by the various digestive juices
In all justice to this valuable food,
however. we must not take awav
from 1t its original credit of being a
protector This protective action
makes itself felt when gelatin is used
IN the preparation of milk dishes and
especially in ice cream
IN recent experiments conducted
with animals gelatin has ACQUIRED
| many laurels. No modern food spe-
cialist feels satisfied with any state
ment made In regard to food unless
this statement embodies data which
show how the particular food acts
with actual animals. AS we have
said before. gelatin stands such tests
as these with fine results. 1t in
crsases the nutritive value of frozen
| dishes, such as ice cream. 1t makes
plain milk much more digestible. It
! has power to emulsify fats, and all
this besides it's originally known Of
hce of serving to protect the body

FaUorite Recipes of

Whitehall Chicken Fricassee.
HARRIET FISCHER ANDREW,
Tranfnn
BY EDNA VI. COLMAN,

Mrs. Harriet Fischer Andrew is n
striking example of the diversity of
talent with which some of the more
fortunate people of this world are en-
dowed.
She is the sole owner of the Eagle
Anvil Works of Trenton, ~ J.. which
she personally directs, as she does the
farming operations upon her large farm.
including the management of a. herd of
biooded cattle. linguist of marked
proficiency, Mrs. Andrew finds great
pleasure in the periods she snatches
from the strenuous world of business to
spend at her Italian villa, on Lake
Como. There she surrounds herself with
gifted circle of friends and let's her
artistic tastes revel in art, music and
the classics.
Always a philanthropist, Mrs An
dreWs good works are extensive but
she follows the biblical injunction and
let's not the right hand know of the
works of the left. Essentially a busi-
ness woman, she follows business prin-
ciples in this also. making it a rule per-
sonaliy to investigate every case that
claims her interest
Mrs Andrew recommends a chicken
fricassee that is unusual:
Boil the chicken, a calf's tongue, two
sweetbreadS. and when tender lift them
from the kettle and let them cool. Then
cut In small pieces and keep the broth
for the gravy Put into another pot
about one-quarter pound of butter, one
onion chopped fine and fry without let
ting the butter turn brown. Then add
three tablespoons of flour and when well
mixed add enough of the broth for a
thick gravy. After it has cooked. pour
through sieve and into the pot add the
juice of a lemon, eight or nine sardines
chopped fine after bones are removed
and a little pepper. Beat the yolks of
two eggs, add d little cold water and
add to gravy Do not let it boil again
Then add chickens, tongue, sweetbreads
| and half a can of mushrooms, which
must also be cut into pieces. Garnish
top OF fricassee with little cakes made

HOW TT STARTED
nv JEAN NEWTON.
Spooning.

1t is a far cry from a sweetheart to
a ship, but at one point in the history
of the slang word "spooning" they come
very close!
"Spooning' is an old nautical term.
In its original form "spooning" derived
probably from "spume." meaning foam),
which was formerly used when ship
was driven swiftly before a very strong
and unabating wind. In Samuel Pepys
we find this enlightening use of the
word:
I'VE might have spooned before the
wind as well as they
1t must have been an analytical and
imaginative mind which first drew an
analogy between this and the situation
Of lovers who are being driven before
the urge of their emotions into unre-
trained demonstrations of affection!

soURcE-A given name, or ma
tionality.
There are two sources to which the
family names in this group may be
traced
One of them. the more obvious. is the
old province of Lombardy. between
which and England there was close
commercial intercourse in the Middle
Ages. And in a very great number of
cases you will find that the original
form of the surname was lie Lom-
bard" indicating that the bearer. a
merchant or craftsman. had come from
that part of the world.
In some instances there is no doubt
that this family name is but a confused
always.
There was a true source OF the fam
lily name in the old Teutonic given name
which among the Anglo-Saxons took
the form of "Lunbeohrt" and later, in
Anglo-N Norman times 'Lumpert." A
Danish form wac "Lombart," while the
Flemings of the Middle Ages spelled IL
.Lombaert." The name, philologists
tell us. was a combination of the words
for poor and bright"
There is no doubt that the family
name was developed in other countries
than England. There are records of it
among the lists of Huguenot imm-
grants.

black seal coats. perhaps trimmed in

wardrobe Is made up of brown. If
your coat is squirrel or any other
grey fur. the clothes you expect to

will be particularly pleasing IL made

However, do not make the mistake
of having too much sameness in your

One mother says:
Wooden stocking forms easily
snag baby's silk hose. Enameled with
ivory or dainty color, with
some small design, the stocking forms
are more attractive and the danger
of snagging Is eliminated. These
also make very attractive gifts when

Women's labor is greatly exploited in
Syria, and the Syrian working women
are working under conditions similar
to those of the working women in
France in the last century. Their
earnings are ridiculously small, and
the working day extremely long. But
Syria, while being a center of capital

The Women's Movement in the Near East

The nationalist women's movement
was under the leadership of women
intellectuaIs.
The most prominent women intel
lectuals engaged in the political move
ment of Egypt are: Sophia zaglul, the
wife Of the Egyptian nationalist Tag
lul Pasha, who was arrested by the
British, Hannah, the wife Of another
politician, and others.
Women's influence in a nationalist
movement of Egypt became more
prominent in 1922. Women agitators
worked in towns and villages. But
Egyptian women are not only fighting
for national emancipation, but also for
their own Acknowledgement. In Alex
andria the Committee of the Society
Of Egyptian Women" demands Of the
Committee for the elaboration Of the
constitution the introduction of claus
es for women's political rights.
The national-revolutionary move
ment Of the Egyptian women masses
is only a prelude to the social class

ready in existence in Egypt, and the
transition of proletarian as well as
other working women masses from
the struggle against foreign capital
ism to social Struggle, is only a ques-

great influence in Egypt. 1t should be
stated that Egyptian women take a
prominent part in production. Ac-
cording to the census of 1897, there
were 63,731 women, artisans in Egypt.
Nevertheless, peasant women (Fella-
heens) constitute the largest section
of the Egyptian female population.
The Fellaheens, Egyptian peasant wo-
men on the banks of the Nile, per-
form the heaviest agricultural work.
They are to their husbands mere la
Dor power, to the same extent as cat
tie is labor power. Moreover, they
bear the whole burden of exploitation
by the state and by foreign capital.
During recent years a large number
of women in Egypt have begun to
work in the big industries, in cotton
cleaning, sugar and tobacco factories.
Handicraft and small industries also
employ many women. 1t goes without
saying that Egyptian working women
are still more exploited than Egyptian
working men. Their wages are just
half of mems wages. British capital
in Egypt manages even to exploit the
labor of the nomadic Bedouin women
in carpet making, these carpets fetch
ing high prices in Cairo.

purely feminist movement of nation
alist tendency, and embraced only the
Egyptian women intellectuals. But
during recent years, especially in
1920, the period Of development of

ment, the Women's Movement fused
with the latter and attracted not only
women of the upper and middle class
es, but also proletarian and peasant
women.
In the big strikes Of 1919 and 1920,
in collisions between the masses and
British> troops, women took a very
active part. They picketed at the
gates Of factories on strikes, helped
to erect barricades in the streets and
were subject to rough treatment and
arrests.
Women's demonstrations were fire.
quently more numerous than mems.
In the villages women assisted their
husbands in damaging railway lines
and telegraph wires to impede the
transport of troops. Women's demon
strations took place daily in which
women carrying national banners de-
manded Egyptian independence from
british rule.

Persia.
In spite of the recent attempts at
a revolutionary movement, Persia is
still more feudal than capitalist and
is as dependent on western capital as
a colony. The population Of Persia
consists of 70 per cent of impover-
ished peasants, crushed by taxes and
oppressed by usurers, big landowners,
and government officials. Ten per
cent Of the population are nomadic
and twenty per cent town jewellers, in
in handierafts. Owing to the feudal-
patriarchal customs and the strict ap-
plication of Shariat laws, the Persian
women are hitherto among the most
oppressed and backward sections of
the female population of the East.
AS in Afghanistan, the women of
the nomadic tribes in Persia are the
freest.
The women in the towns, the wives
of artisans and traders lead seclud-
ed life like 'all Moslem women and
do not take part in production. The
female proletariat in the towns con-
