THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, December 20.

Mercury and Venus in benefic as
pect rule tomorrow, according to as
trology. Uranus and the sun are ad
verse.
This is read as an uncommonly
lucky rule under which to send out
Christmas letters or greetings.
This is lucky day for women and
their affairs. Those engaged in do.
nestle preparations are supposed to
be exceptionally well guided.
This is read as a fortunate wedding
day, since it indicates lasting love and
increasing prosperity.
Theaters remain under most
suspicious direction of the stars,
which indicates constantly increasing
interest in plays.
Dramas are to reveal a romantic
trend once more. and to present poetic
themes, if the stars are rightly read.
Business aims should be subordi-
mated to other interests tomorrow, for
the planetary government is not fav'
orable to practical pursuits.
Under this sway there may be a
tendency toward retrospection. but
there should be no harboring of pain
full memories If one desires to make
the best of life, the seers admonish.
It is not a lucky day for seeking
employment, and it will be wise to
delay all important plans for better
ment.
World demands are TO set the. fac.
tory wheels whirring in all parts of
the country, astrologers foretell.
Extraordinary international COM
mercial relations are indicated by the
stars and unexpected events are to
take place, it is prophesied.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is prob.
ably will have rather an uneventful
year, in which relatives and neighbors
will furnish the excitement.

Cloisonne for Christmas ?

Many of the attractive gifts to be
found in the shops these days are
made of the beautiful stuff, cloisonne.
Any one who receives bit of cloisonne
as a Christmas gift is truly fortunate.
Though cloisonne was known in the
Orient more than 1880 years ago,
one can buy modern work within the
reach of most purses.
Cloisonne in it's origin, means wall.
1t is made by pouring melted glass on
metal and hardening 1t in fire. 1t
gives the effect of enamel. 1t is made
by goldsmiths whose work it is to set
tiny gold bands in the glass. This is
done to prevent the color from spread
ing over the surface.
In all genuine cloisonne you will
find that gold wire has been soldered
to the surface of the metal base. I'm
less this is done the many necessary
layers of glass cannot be applied, and
the result would be an inferior sort of
cloisonne. In every case, the polished
surface of real cloisonne will show fine
lines OF gold running through the
color.
There is any variety of articles
made of cloisonne. OF course. you
have seen many little articles of jew
elry, some of which are of great
value. Among the things practical
as gifts are vanity boxes, cigarette
boxes, compacts, cigarette holders,
clocks, lamp bases, book ends and
trinkets.
You may buy the beauty of cloisonne
without paying the price of the gen
uine, because cloisonne has been sue
cessfully initiated. In every case,
however, real cloisonne can be told by
the little gold wires. The imitation
cloisonne reproduces the effect of the
wires by careful shading, but if you
will examine closely. or, better yet,
compare, the difference will become
plain to see. The difference in value

Still further, the Virginia delegates
in the Continental Congress are in
structed to recommend to Congress
that it invest the commander-in-chief
of the American forces with more ex-
tensiye powers for conducting the
war. Gov. Henry has power to order
battalions on the pay of Virginia to
join the Continental Army or to assist
any of our sister States, and, in fact,
to call forth any military force that
may be requisite for any emergency
He will not fall to exercise this power.
Virginia has her own problems. On
her western frontiers the Indians re.
quire constant watching. Along her
eastern coast there is always the pos.
sibility of visits from the kings navy,
and Virginia is developing her own
navy to deal with this danger. Georgia
and the CarQlinas have been allowed
to enlist Virginians for their own mi
litia. But now the call of the con.
tinent is heard above all others, and
Virginia is ready with her best to de-
fend the Declaration of independence
which was written by one of her sons,
Thomas Jefferson, and which another
of her sons, George Washington, is
fighting to maintain as the charter of
a new nation.

Proper Nutrition.

DIR. James B. Naismith of Kansas
University, inventor of basket ball
Is not only an authority on athletics
but is also a physician.
DIR. NaiSmith tells a most interest
ing incident. Back in the days when
basket ball was young the strong
young captain of the basket ball team
had gone stale. He had been a fine
player and one of the real assets to
his winning team. And now he was
in a funk. He made all sorts of
errors.
The coach was in despair lie
knew the young captain was not a
gutter. And yet the captain could
gone to pieces even though he looks
all right. Maybe it is some disease
coming on" thought the coach.
The player was so necessary to the
team that after comforting about the
matter the athletic instructor decided
the best thing would be to arrange
for the captain a thorough physician
examination by leading physician.
The examination was made. No
hidden illness was revealed. But the
question "Where do you eat?" dis
closed that the captain was eating at
cooperative club where eating ex-
penSeS were kept down to one dollar
a week per man.
That was the gist of the trouble.
The restricted economical fare might
possibly have been enough to sustain
life in the young fellows who did not
have much call upon their strength,
but the active young captain was not
getting enough to eat.
For several days he was fed few
extra pounds of nourishing food. His
old form returned. His whole trouble
had been lack of pep from lack of
food.
This young captain had learned his
lesson. After he had finished school,
at the beginning of the war. he went

My Neighbor Says:

Sew strip of muslin about
four inches wide over the tops
of your quilts and blankets.
These will keep clean the parts
that become most quickly soiled.
A shabby black leather music
roll or brief case will be very
much improved in appearance
by being rubbed with the well
beaten white of an egg.
If the doors in your houses
squeak, rub the hinges with
petroleum ointment or drop a
little oil on them.
Copper kettles become discol-
ored when they have been in
use for any length Of time. Try
cleaning them in the following
way and you will get beautiful
polish: Dip piece of lemon
rind into a little salt and rub
this well all over the surface of
the kettle. Wipe it off quickly
and polish with a dry chamois

When washing greasy dishes
add a few drops of liquid am
monia to the water. The work
will be more quickly and thor

Butter molds and the little

between real and imitation makes it

real cloisonne is worth about four or
five times as much as the imitation
stuff.
When buying cloisonne gift, first
examine it from the standpoint of its
apparent value. If you are in doubt
about it, look. at the cloisonne on ex-
hibition or display in the best shops
in the city. Comparison is always
educating. After ascertaining the
worth of the cloisonne itself, consider
the gift. Try to buy cloisonne gift

to remind the lucky one that a fall

shown at the Nogales Theatre,

He has iri"lp,:,a>i nearly every

Horsemen" he was an Argentin-
ian. In "The Shiek" he was an
Arab. In "Blood and Sand" he
was Spaniard. In Monsieur
Beaucaire" he was a Frenchman.
In "Cobra" Valentino plays an
Italian Count with weakness for
the ladies. His appeal to women
leads him, against his own will,
into an affair with the wife of his
best friend. This has a tragic
and dramatic c1imax-one of the
strongest situations in which the
star has ever appeared.
cobra" was adapted from Mar
tin Browns successful Broadway
drama by Anthony Coldewey and
directed by Joseph Henabery. It
was produced by the star person
ally under the Ritz-Carlton BAN
ner. The title means the lure Of
a fascinating, unscrupulous wo-
man-the charm which the cobra
exercises over it's victims.
Nita Na1di, who has reduced her
weight to 123 pounds, plays the
cobra woman. Gertrude Olmstead,
blonde and wholesome, has the
sympathetic feminine role Cas-
son Ferguson returns to the screen
as the best friend.
The action starts in Italy, but
most of it takes place in New
York. It is a modern drama and
has been produced on lavish

CHILDREN AND PARENTS


School children of 1900 cities
and towns in the United States
will be asked to sign a pledge
jointly with their parents to obey
the "Ten Commandments of Safe
ey". which are part of the inten-
sive campaign to help cut down
the tremendous automobile death
toll Of the nation, according to
an announcement today by Mar
Gus A. Dow, director Of the Ste
wart- Warner Safety Council for
the prevention of automobile acci-
dents. The child's teacher also is
to sign the pledge. Affixing the
chld's name on the pledge is ac-
companied by a serious talk on
safety by the teacher. The parch-
ment pledge is given to the child
to keep as permanent safety re-
minder. Mr.. Dow's "Ten Com
mandments"'' are: 4
For children and pedestrians -
l. Look both ways before cross
ing streets and highways; 2. Wait
until it Is safe to cross; 3. Keep

pedestrians; z. Watch speedomet-
er; keep it in good order and re-
frain from speeding. s. Keep
brakes in good order; 9. Obey all
traffic and safety rules; 10. Drive

It is estimated that several mil
lion school children will be given
the opportunity to sign the safety
pledges. w
