Snow alling on Mars;
Many Hoping for Signal
Swiss Astronomers Observing Planet
From Peak of High Mountain.

From Peak of High Mountain.
Snow is falling on the planet Mars,
according to DR.. Scaher, Swiss as
tronomer, who is making observations
on the peak of Mount Jungfrau, in
Switzerland, the highest mountain IN
Europe.
Mars is closer to the earth at the
present time than it has been in 40
wears or will be in the next 100 years.
DR.. Scaher reports that photographs
reveal condensation similar to earthly
snow. The condensations cover the
side of the planet exposed to the
earth
French astronomers are ridiculing
the idea of being able to photograph
Mars or of making any conclusions
relative to the life, if any, on the
planet, but it is the hope OF the Swiss
savants to be able to detect some
signs of life or be rewarded with a
signal from the Martians.

Coal Crime and Mist Can Be

DO you dread the day when
your winter supply Of coal i
delivered, knowing that after the
coal mon have departed you win
have to spend seyeraI hours armed
with electric cleaner, dust cloth
and dust mop removing the pail
OF dust that has settled upon wood
work and furnishings? IAN cleo
tdc fan will prevent this black
coal dust from permeating your
home and save you this task Of
busting.
Just before the coal men begin
to stow coal In your cellar take
your electric fan into the cellar
and, connecting It to an outlet,
set It upon a box or chair facing
one OF the windows or an out.
side door which has already been
opened, in such q position that
the breeze Of the fan, when turned
on, will pass across the descend
ing coal. This current Of air
will carry the coal dust out OF
doors instead of upstairs.
While the coal is being delivered
and for a little while afterwards
be sure that all the doors and
windows of your house are kept
tightly shut. This will keep the
coal dust from drifting back into
the house from the outside air.

MISS ALICE ROBERTSON,
"The Lady From Oklahoma

Although Miss Alice Robertson, the
Lady from Oklahoma, was defeated for
reelection, she was exceedingly popu-
lar with her compatriots in the House
OF Representatives during her brief So
journ among them. Her deliberate
manner. kindly, twnkling eyes and
sense of being entirely sure of herself
won the respect of all classes. She
spoke but seldom, and when she did it
was with direct terseness and brevity.
From SWakola. Okla, where she owns
and conducts the largest cafeteria in the
State and where during the war she
entertained more than five thousand
soldiers en- route to their various camps.
not man in uniform ever being al
lowed to pay for his Entertainment,
"Miss Alice" was literally catapulted
into Congress on the popularity of her
cooking.
In Congress she left a circle of friends
and admirers when she very contentedly
returned to her beloved home and the
pursuits of a lif--ime of 20 years, in
ma jor part and made Theodore Roose-
Welt call her "a great woman
Her cafeteria is famous for its good
wholesome food. One of her puddings
is a follows: One cup cooked and chop
ped prunes. seeded raisins and chopped
dates. three cups of bread crumbs. Mix
and pour over raw custard made of
yolks of five eggs. five tablespoonfuls
of sugar and six cups of milk. Bake
carefully, then cover with meringue
made from whites of eggs Flavor with

What TodayMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Leo.
AS no benign aspects operate to-
day until the evening. great care
must be exercised to avoid errors,
delay, loss and misunderstanding. Do
not be impulsive. Act only after
careful deliberation and plenty of
thought If you feel urged to do
something that may have an impor-
tant bearing on your prospects or
your life, talk it over first with a
friend in whom you have complete
confidence, and be guided by such
advice as may be given you. Be
careful in making contracts' agree
ments or promises. Sign no impor-
tant documents. In the evening, the
signs indicate general betterment
of conditions, portending domestic
and social felicity.
A child born today will have, in in
fancy, more than it's fair share of
sickness. Its future physical devel-
opment will depend very much on the
care it receives during this critical
period. 1t will be fretful and cross.
Patience must be shown and great
forbearancc exercised. Its character
It's disposition will develop, under
proper guidance, into one of unselfish-
ness and affection. Its mentality will
be considerable.
If today Is your Dlrthday, You are
always complaining Of what you call
your luck, and are envious of those
who have attained greater fortune
than you Nobody can hand you a
readymade key to open the door of
success. You must fashion your own
key and find the lock for yourself.
There are no escalators to the hill
top of success, and while every man
and woman must do his and her own
climbing, yet there is a right road
to it as well as many wrong roads
which never lead the traveller to
the desired goal.
You have never made a serious,
well sustained effort to realize your
ambition. You have wasted your
time in speculating on what might
have been, instead of concentrating
on what could be. Success in this
world in any line of endeavor is
never attained without effort, and
there is more genuine joy in climbing
the hill of achievement, even though
sweat may be spent and toes may
be stubbed, than in aimlessly sliding
down the path to failure.
Well known persons born on this
date are Solomon Van Rensselaer,,
former Representative; James Brew
ster, manufacturer; John H. Wheel
er, historian, United States Minister:
Samuel P. Carter, naval officer and
soldier; George T. Maxwell, phy.
sician; Harrington Baker, editor and
author.

Not ALWAYS Safe.
Who knows and does the thing to do.
Through life will little have TO rue

The four little Happy Jacks had
learned something. They had spent
most of their short lives in their own
home tree, and to them tree was
the only safe place in time of danger,
a tree with hole In l.. But now
they had lea armed that there was safe
ty in a pile of brush on the ground.
Hadn't one of them escaped from
Redtail the Hawk by falling into a
pile of brush?
Mrs. Happy Jack led them down to
the ground and over to that pile of
brush. She told them to play in II for
while, and to learn how to crawl
in and out between the sticks and
how to get to the bottom of it quick
ly. They had great time playing
hide -and-seek in there.
But at last Mrs. Happy Jack called
them out. "A pile of brush" said she,
lis very safe place in which to hide
from Redtail the Hawk or Hooty the
Owl. As long as you stay hidden
there they cannot possibly get you.
1t is very safe place to be. But
there are other enemies from whom
1t isn't safe place to hide"
The four little Happy Jacks picked
UP their ears. "Who?' asked one of
the little Happy Jacks.
Some of your enemies who live on
the ground replied Mrs. Happy Jack
Buster Bear would tear "A little pile
a all for the sake of a tender, young
squirrel for his dinner. l suspect that
even Old Man Coyoce would tear
apart as small a pile of brush as this.
Under big pile you would be safe
from Old Man Coyote or Reddy Fox,
