What T TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

The very favorable aspects that
prevail during the latter part of to-
day continue for only a short time.
At about 10 am. tomorrow there will
be influences of negative character
and at sundown these will become
positively adverse. Very little can, of
course, be accomplished in the brief
space Of time that good conditions
exist, and, therefore. 1t would be ad-
visabe only to devote your time and
attention to the usual routine duties
that engage your attention every day.
IL is not an auspicious occasion for
change or travel. 1t will be found
dimcult to restrain your impulse to
do and say those things that had bet
ter be left undone and unsaid, as the
influences will tempt you to be quar-
relsome, argumentative and arbitrary.
Children born tomorrow will, ac-
cording to the signs, enjoy excellent
health during their infancy This
does not mean that they will be en-.
tfrely free from all ailments. They
Will, however, be of a minor charac-
ter, and will not affect their normal
physical development. Just prior or
subsequent to the time of adolescence,
| they will need careful watching and
vigilance. In disposition, they will
be reticent, and at times morose.
This condition can be very much
ameliorated by forced association
with playmates of their own age.
, They will be studious and painstaking
and. owing to intensive introspection,
Will always be a little afraid of CAPT
taltzfng their many abilities. as an ex-
aggerated view of their own limita-
tions will obsess them.
II tomorrow is your birthday. YOU
have great control over your actions
and passions. Nothing can ever
stampede you. or make YOU forget
what Is due to your natural poise and
deliberateness. There is in your
makeup no sign of a lack of self
confidence, although YOU have never
been able, so far, to persuade others
to join in that degree Of appreciation
that YOU feel and show for yourself.
You are ambitious and idealistic.

NAVAL RESERVES
BACK FROM CRUISE
U. S. S. Eagle, With Local "Jack
Tars" Aboard, Berths at
Home Port.

The u. S. S. Eagle, No. Sc, with
officers and men of the United States
Naval Reserve of the District of Co
lumbia aboard, dropped in at her berth
at Water and o streets southwest this
morning, completing the first of the
training cruises of the local naval re-
serves Lieut. Comdr. F. w. Jones,
attached to the United States Shipping
Board here, was in command of the
vessel on this voyage, which was the
first foreign cruise of the local re-
serves since the World War. The
vessel went 80 the Bermuda Islands.
While the Nficers and men had a
most enjoyable and instructive train
ing cruise. practically the whole ships
complement suffered from sea sickness
during the passage between Hampton
Roads and Bermuda. The heavy seas
tossed the little craft all about and
made it difficult to handle it. The
constant rolling and pitching Of the
vessel caused a breaking of the main
steam feed line on the return voyage,
making it necessary to heave to a sea
for several hours while repairs were
made. During this time, according to
those who were aboard the vessel, the
ship pitched and tossed dangerously
and several times was caught in the
trough of the sea, causing some con-
Germ to those aboard.
However, under the direction of
Lieut.. Young, chief engineer, the re-
pairs were made so that the ship
reached Norfolk under her own steam
safely
After a brief repair period at the
Norfolk navy yard the vessel went to

PLOT TO SHIP RUM

$4,000 in sIe and LIQUOR
Seizec-Labeled lobster
and Herring"
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May PA gigantic plot
for distributing liquor as lobster and
herring has been unearthed here.
Sixteen persons are under arrest,
liquor valued at between $3.50 900 and
$3.50, 900 has been seized here and in
New York and the existence of a new
overland rum route from Canada to
Maine seaports has been revealed.
Two million-dollar liquor rings are
involved.
The result, 1t is stated, will be a
Federal grand jury investigation that
will involve possibly 1000 liquor deal
ers, rum runners and agents in New
England, New York and Canada.
The latest blow delivered by prohi-
bition forces started here yesterday

A few hours later ale and whisky,
valued at between 100000 and s400.-
600, were seized in New York on the
steamers Boston and Herman Winter,
both from Boston. 1t Is beiieVed that
the New York shipment was once a
part of the Vans cargo and that the
entire load was brought overland from
Canada to some lonely Maine port
over a new route necessitated by the
Atlantic rum blockade.
Soon after the seizure on the Van
two customs agents opened a safe in
a North End establishment that yield
ed documents containing the names of
more than 1000 liquor dealers. Ex-
animation showed that the papers be-
longed to a ring operating at least
three steamers, a fleet of sailing YES
The papers also disclosed a system
OF signals to liquor boats telling them
how and where to land their loads.
The raid on the safe resulted from
planting several Coast Guardsmen
with the rum runners.

JURY IN WRIGHT
LIQUOR CASE HUNG
Assistant Deorkeeper at the Capitol
to Be Tried Again in
Police Court.

After being out eight hours the
Police Court jury hearing liquor
charges against George E. Wright,
assistant doorkeeper at the Capitol
for nearly thirty years, disagreed.
Wright, who at the time of his ar
rest lived at 720 Thirteenth street,
was charged with both sale and H.
legal possession of alcoholic bever-
ages. He denied that he ever sold any
whisky, saying that Revenue Agent
Ford purchased liquor at his home
from a bootlegger he had called for
him.
When the alleged bootlegger was
called to take the stand for the de-
fense, his lawyer rose in court and told
him not to say anything that might
incriminate himself. Although losing
the defense's most important witness,
Wright escaped conviction by the jury.
A new jury will be impaneled at a
later date.
