What TomorrowMeans to you
Taurus.
BY MARY BLAKE


Tomorrows planetary aspects are
not very encouraging during the fore
noon. although they are not adverse.
At midday they undergo a decided
change and become very favorable.
continuing so for the rest of the day
Your energies should be restrained
during the morning. and It will be
found to be a good time for the prepa-
ration of any plans that you may
wish to put into execution under the
beneficial impulses of the afternoon
and evening. At this time enthusiasm
and courage will be felt, alertness and
vision will be sensed, and optimism
will aid you in your efforts. 1t is an
excellent occasion for travel.
Children born tomorrow will. during
their infancy, be subjected to some
illnesses of a rather grave nature, but
the signs denote that they will sue
cessfully outgrow these early weak
nesses, and develop along lines of
rugged health and vigor. Tempera-
mentally, they will display signs of
waywardness and willfulness and be
guilty. altogether too often, of evasion.
Forceul discipline will be needed to
convince them Of the error of their
ways, and if they see the light" and
are able to correct their faults. they
will develop into useful citizens, as
they will possess many traits of char
acter that will not alone charm, but
will insure success.
II tomorrow is your birthday, it
would be we'll for you to remember
that Jay Gould, on being asked how
he had emassed his fortune. replied.
"by minding my own business, and
letting other people mind theirs" You
are altogether too talkative about your
own affairs, and too curious about
those of others. You possess inherent
ability, an even temperament and
resourcefulness that, apparently,
never fails you. These gifts are not
allowed a free rein by you, owing to
the time you waste in volublllty and
satisfying your never-lagging interest
in business that does not concern you.
In your home and social life you
pry too much into everything to in
sure congenality. Although you are
a good conversationalist, with a keen
sense Of humor and capable of smart
but not disagreeable repartee, you
prefer to discuss personal matters.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Robert G. Winthrop, states
man and orator; George w. Childs.
Journalist; George E. Woodberry, au
thor and poet; Henry Cabot Lodge,
Senator; Frank Crane, journalist;

MAYOR ATTACKS
SALAC|OUS PLAYS
Cleanup of New, York Stage

NEW YORK, December 29.-Nayor
Walker. who recently imposed a 3
am. curfew law on night clubs, has
now taken up the task of cleaning up
the New York stage.
In a conference with theatrical pro
6iucers he told them that legal censor
ship would follow unless the pro-
ducers co.operated i'll an effort 70 keep
salacious plays from their theaters.
Promises of cooperation were made
by the producers and it was general
~ regarded as possible that Gear

conference, holding position SINH
lar to that of Will Hayes in the mo-
ton picture industry.
Producers at Conference.
& Lee Shubert, William A. Brady,
David Belasco, Daniel F'rohman, Ar
thur Hopkins, Edgar Selwin, John
Golden, Gilbert Miller, and Thomas
Broadhurst were among those at
tending the conference. Florenz Zieg-
field, George White and Earl Carroll
received invitations, but did not at.
tend.
The mayor told the producers that
prohibition had come about. largely
through the refusal of saloonkeepers
to give in to sentiment for reform,
and that censorship had been thrust
upon the motion picture industry
after 1t had refused to voluntarily &C
cept 1t. He suggested an organiza-
ton Of producers to act as their own
censors. The mayor said that unless
the producers took steps to clean up
the stage he would ask for legislation
to give the commissioner Of licenses
power to revoke legitimate theater
licenses, which power he now has
over the motion picture theaters'
Hits Broadway Shows.
Numerous complaints of certain
shows on Broadway have been re-
ceived, the mayor said, and while
he for Is years fought organized CEN
sorship, he felt something must be
done about the present theater. Sew
eral of the producers commended that
when they put on or advertised clean
plays they failed, while productions
of the more risque type prospered.

The Lincoln Collection.

BY virtue Of legislation just effected
the United States Government will &C.
quire the collection Of relics Of Al,ra-
nam Lincoln which for many years
have been housed In the building on
Tenth street in this city where he
died a little more than sixty-one years
ago. These relics, known as the Old.
rcyd collection. have been the object
of considerable competition for own
ershfp for some time, but at last. for
tunately, the Government has moved
for their acquisition and 1t is now as.
sured that they will remain at Wash.
ington permanently, and will consti-
tute one of the most interesting fea.
lures OF public attraction at the Can.
itaL
The assembler and for years the
custodian Of these relics, o. II. Old.
royd has performed a valuable pub.
lie service In maintaining this collec-
tion and persisting in his efforts to
secure their purchase by the Govern.
ment despite tempting offers from
other sources. To him 1t has been
a patriotic work to gather and keep
In good order these inspiring SOU
venirs Of one of the greatest of all
Americans, especially in the building
in which he breathed his last. Thirty
five years ago the Government pur-
chased this house for it's permanent
preservation, even as it had earlier
taken possession Of the structure in
which Lincoln received his mortal
wound, Immediately across the street.
AS the years pass the surround
ings Of these two properties will
change, and they will be perhaps
dwarfed by adjacent developments.
But they will stand as monuments to
Lincoln. which, though tragic In their
significance, yet will always interest
visitors to Washington. The collec-
ton in the house Of Lincoln's death,
thus far known as the Oldroyd collec-
ton, comprises many articles Of init
mate association with the war Presi-
ucUt. AHcy HdFc pctL cluulcu Uy IiS-

kept Of the number OF people visiting
the building and inspecting these SOU
venirs. The total must be now very
large. To many visit to Washing

the Lincoln House. With the Gov
ernrnent in full possession OF both
building and relics, admission win
doubtless henceforth be free and prob
ably many more than have visited the

or who has ever seen any we'll tended
little pigs anywhere, may question
the merits of a prohibition of this
kind. Despite the unloveliness Of the
ordinary porcine premises and the
general reputation of the pig for un-
tidiness, the porker is really a very
clean animal. II has no fur to har-
Dor vermin or to camoufiage dirt. 1t
is strictly open and aboveboard in it's
condition.
The law against the keeping Of live
stock on the premises Of a. public eat
ing place Is doubtless a relic Of early
sanitary legislation. aimed at con-
ditions that have long since ceased
to be. Time was when places of re-
freshment "for man and beast" per-
mitted q mixture Of guests. The pro-
hibition that has just been invoked
locally probably comes down from
early efforts to cure this condition.
Now arises another question: Is 1t
lawful to keep a cat in a restaurant?
That harmless, necessary" creature
has its uses In place that is likely
to attract predatory rodents. Yet it
Is live stock" in the strict inter
probation Of the law, though not clas-
sifiable with horses. sheep. goats, cat

this question, as has just been done

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES +. FREEMAN D. D., LII. D,
BishoD OF WashiuqtOn.
st. Luke. xii :32--"when thou art con-
~erted strengthen thy brethren

~erted strengthen thy bfethren. edn f"Su ''' ''
This was the word Of counsel given
by Christ to His temperamental and
impulsive disciple. He had sought to
make clear to him his inherent weak
ness and his undue selfassurance. He
had told him of an approaching crisis
wherein his faith was to be put 10
the test that would result In signal
failure. lie had supplemented this
word of warning with the assurance
that in the time Of his weakness He
would pray for him that his faith
should not wholly fail. Following
these words OF warning, He said:
when thou art converted, strengthen
thy brethren"
Christ clearly indicated that along
with the impending break In Peters
character there was to come period
OF healing and restoration. With this
was to come the quickened assurance
of his obligation to others. Conver-
sion or the changed attitude In the
mind of Christ contemplated two
things first, II new relation to Him.
self. and, secondly, q new outlook and
attitude toward life.
Our generation has quite lost the
deep significance of what conversion
lmpleS. Indeed, IL is term rdreIy
used today, and yet 1t has a very pro-
found significance. Most of US were
brought up in our youth to regard
conversion as changed attitude to-
ward Christ-a new understanding Of
the meaning of His life TO US and ours
to Him. Here our theory Of conver-
sion ended. it did not seem to sug-
gest that it had any other aspect.
namely. our changed relation to the
world about us. Conversion meant
joining something, protesting so1ne-
thing. becoming an ayoyed member
Of an organization. It consisted
largely in saying something rather
than being something. 1t is conceiv-
able that one might become converted
to Christ. drawn to Him by the SUBJ
Unity Of His person and the beauty
Of His teaching. and yet sustain no
changed relationship to the world. We
readily recall the incident in David
Harum" of the countryside deacon
whose professions of faith were volu-
bic and whose Sunday practice was
rigid and precise, but whose weekly
habit bore no relation to his religious
profession. His sharp dealings be.
came the scandal of the countryside.
