Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
not good during the morning. They,
however, show a decided improvement
toward noon and, thereafter are de-
cidedly favorable. During the early
hours of the day nothing of any great
Importance should be handled, as the
signs denote that the influences are
all opposed to successful realization.
Lack of confidence in ones self will
be keenly felt and there will prevail a
general atmosphere of -disparage-
ment. These do not go hand.in-hand
with achievement. In the afternoon
and evening the morbidity will have
disa ppeared and normal conditions
of hope and self assurance will be
restored, which, of course. augurs

Fire Extinguishers on Fire.

The great Chicago fire of October

worth of property and one.third of the
city. and was the greatest fire of
modern times. except perhaps the COM

Chicago, in fact. has had a number of
famous fires. One of the strangest

many boats. But stranger still was the
destruction of Il factory there which
manufactured fire eXtinsnishing chem.
icals. These were cont;fined in little
bottles. which you were supposed to
throw into the flames. The glass
would break and the chemicals We're
supposed to put out the fire. These
eXtinguishers were widely sold. Peo.
pie who bought them were saddened
to learn. however, that the factory
containing 10,000s little eXtinguishers
had burned up.
Now what do YOU know about that?

l. There are 81 chemical elements.

composed of carbon.
3. Calcium barium and strontium

Tilleul or linden green. willow

which in effect asserts that America

VERDICT WILL SPUR
RADIO LEGISLATION
"Air Piracy" AcquittaI Ex-
pected to Speed Senate
Action This Week.

Preparations to speed up radio leg
islation in the Senate were made yes
terday, following receipt of news that
Federal Judge Wilkerson in Chicago
had ruled that "air piracy" was legal
under the present radio laws and reg
ulations.
The radio bills now before the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee
were considered in executive session
on Thursday and q final decision Is
expected to be hurried through the
committee this week and Senate bill
reported to the floor without delay.
The Chicago decision, in which sta
ton WJAZ was held not guilty of anv
law infraction in using a wave length
reserved by the Department OF Com
merce for use of Canadian stations, is
held by supporters of ralio legisia-
ton to be the one final spur that will
bring a definite radio law quickly into
being.
With the Senate hurrying into ac-
ton, it is understood the Department
of Commerce is planning no appeal
from the Chicago decision. 1t is eX-
pected, however, that a second suit
will be brought against station
KWKH at Shreveport, which also is
accused of "air piracy" in order TO
have two court opinions on the prob
lem.
The second suit, however. will be
purely defensive and will be taken to
safeguard the Department of Com
merce in the event the present session
of Congress should adjourn without
adopting a satisfactory radio law.

But where it is not convenient to

whereby the same number of wires
that are in the antenna are strung
parallel with II just a few feet above

Where this is neither possible nor
desirable the next step Is to devise a
wave-intercepting system that will get
along with whatever energy can be

where you meet the loop.
