What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
negative, rather than positive, and the
influences are not propitious for the
launching of any new enterprise or
for the putting into effect Of any radi-
cal change. 1t Is. however, a suitable
opportunity for research work or for
the careful planning of that which
you propose doing in the near future.
There will not be senSed any great
urge ito be up and doing" although
clearness Of vision and good judgment
will assert themselves. In the eve
ming the conditions will engender a
sentimental frame Of mind, and it will
prove to be most encouraging occa-
sion for mutual confession of love and
affection.
Children born tomorrow will, during
infancy and early childhood, enjoy
eXuberant health and will possess
great physical strength. On the APP
proach Of adolescence, however. they
will cause some concern by symptoms
of weakness and loss of vigor. If
taken in time, and treated by careful,
sane methods, these ailments will
prove to be Of only a transitory char
acter. In disposition they will be
boisterouS, not very considerate of
others and rather willful. These dis
turbing factors can be overcome by
affection and love, but never by force.
These children will possess an ex-
traordinary quixotic sense of justice,
and nothing will so easily excite them,
or earn their ScOrn, as that which
they conceive to be not according to
Hoyle."
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are more imaginative than practical.
You live, spiritually, in the land OF
Utopia, and find it difficult, at times,
to reconcile yourself to the conditions
that prevail in this workers world of
ours. You are always building castles
in the air" or creating. in your mind.
imaginary situations that can never
arise. Your thoughts are idealistic,
and you yet require to learn that in
order to get along it is essential to
work and not to dream. Nothing of
much material advantage will ever be
gained by you until such time when
you cease to be visionary and de-
eide to get down to "braSs tacks."
You need to cultivate sel3-reliance
perseverance, steady working quail
ties and to acquire practical foresight,
not reckoning on things as you would
like them but as they are. Your dis
position is lovable, and to your
friends and relatives. you are attrac-
tive and charming.
Well known persons born on that
date are: James Bowdoin, philanhro-
pist and statesman; Marshall P.
Wilder, merchant and pomologist;
Joseph Seligman. banker; Theodore
Winthrop, author and soldier; Will
liam W. Belknap, soldier and ex-Sec-
rotary Of War, and Stephen d. Lee,
soldier.

the sound seemed to come from far

that somebody was driving stake up
around the bend where Danny
couldn't see him.
Now that he had made up his mind
to see the stake driver, and couldn't,
Danny wanted to more than ever.
You know how it is. Curiosity was
getting in it's work. Danny certainly
did want to see the driver of those
stakes. But Danny's legs are short,
as you know. 1t was a long way up
to where he thought that stake driver
was at work around the bend in the
creek. What to do Danny sat down
to think 1t over.
II suppose" said Danny, that 1
could climb down and run along on
the mud beyond the grass. l don't

suddenly appear l should have to

creek is lower. OF course. l could
work my way through the grass on
the top of the bank, but that would

ticular place."
Danny looked all around carefully
in all directions, including up in the
sky. 1t was still very early in the
morning and the creek on that side
was still in shadow. There wouldn't
be a safer time during the day. Just
then Peep the Least Sandpiper and
his friends came Swimming along just
above the water and a1ighted on a
little mud.fiat just opposite the turn
in the bank. They began running
about picking up their breakfast. 1t
was clear that there was nothing up
there for them to fear.
IF they are not afraid, shouldn't
be-" said Danny, and scrambled down
the bank. Then, keeping close under
the overhanging edge of the bank, he
started up along the creek. He felt
safer than he had thought he would.
There really didn't seem to be any
danger, and he felt very bold and
| brave.
Whack! whack! whack. That stake
driver must be driving lot of stakes.
Yes, sir, any one who could keep it
up like that must be driving a lot of
stakes. Danny scampered just as fast
| as he could make his short legs go.
| In a few minutes he would be up

Peep the Least >Sandpiper and his

around that bend. Danny was get
ting out Of breath, but he ran faster
than ever. He reached point where
he could look around that bend in a
little cove. There, running along at

pipers. Danny rubbed his eyes again.
The sound of that stake-driving
seemed to come from around the next
bend.

Tomatoes-Cheese Sauce.

Halve some large, meaty tomatoes
and place them in a buttered baking
dish, cut side up. Sprinkle over each
a dash of curry powder, a pinch each
of salt. pepper, paprika and sugar
and few drops of Worcestershire
sauce. Drop bits Of butter over the
tomatoes and bake in q hot oven
until tender. Arrange on slices Of
buttered toast and pour a few spoon
fuls Of cheese sauce over all. The
cheese sauce is made by adding a
tablespoonful of grated cheese to a
cupful of hot white sauce just before
removing it from the fire. Do not
cook the sauce after the addition of
the cheese or it will be apt to curdle.

Fire Sweeps New York.

NEW YORK, September 81. ms
One.tenth of all the houses and build
ings in this city were consumed
early today by a fire which broke out
about an hour after midnight
in a public house near Whitehall Slip.
Many rumors have been af1oat during
the day as to the origin of the blaze
and several investigations are prom

ated the city only six days ago and
the British invaders have as yet ac-
complished little toward setting up
any government or system of law

the patriot families and a few others
who could not leave because of sick
ness fled from the city upon the ap-
proach of the British. Not many OF
the Tory families who left their
homes while Washington's army was
here have yet returned. There are
thus few civilians in town, and ia
cilities for fighting the flames We're
decidedly limited. A large part OF
the work, and the most effective
part. was done by sailors and marines
from the British fleet in the East
and North Rivers.

There comes time in almost every
girls life when she wishes she could
sing. She appreciates that 1t is an
accomplishment that makes one in
demand for entertaining on special
occasions as well as it's being a social
asset in her own particular crowd.
At this time the question comes up
Of the advisability of lessons in voice
culture. Two essentials should be
considered. First, has the girl an ear
for music? And then has she a sweet
voice? The strength of the voice is
not nearly so important as are these
two other matters.
1t Is at this juncture that parents
guidance can be Of inestimable value.
They know whether she has musical
quality to her singing voice, and they
also know whether she sings on key
II she has a good, fair voice, and fats
when she sings, and knows that she
does 1t, her ear is good. She can
learn to overcome the bad fault. The
same is true If a person sharps when
singing. The imperative thing is for
her to know when she does either.
Unless she can discover the flaw her.

voice will be money poorly used.

She can scarcely hope to be a sue

sharp note instead of the true one, 1t

SUB ROSA
She Mothers Him.


Some men need mothering: they
take to 1t like a duck to water. Espe-
cially is this true of motherless boys
who have been deprived of maternal
care all their lives.
But there's another type OF man
who has had his share of mothering
very often more than his sare, he
feels-and he doesn't appreciate the
sweetheart with the maternal instinct.
In fact Jills pronounced tendency
to make a child of Eric nearly broke
up her romance.
Eric looked very young and very
helpless. Jill was full of ideas about
how children should be brought up
| She decided to try out few OF her
pet theories on Eric.
She was supremely confident that
Eric loved being mothered. All men
| love being fused over and petted
and babied, she told herself serenely
| With this delusion firmly, fixed in
| her mind she proceeded to take charge
I of the boy friend She scolded him
publicly for not eating proper food
not eating enough of it-not eating
| it slowly enough.
Eric growled and looked embarrass-
| ed; occasionally he made violent pro-
tests, but Jill just smiled indulgently
| He was such a!baby. lie didn't know
what was good for him.
| If Eric hoped into car after
hot game Of tennis. Jill ran after him
waving a 81 eater, calling to him that
| he'd die of pneumonia If he dldn
put on something heavy.
| If he suddenly threw away a wad
of money on some especially extrava-
CANT present for her. Jill was CRATE
full. but tenderly rebuking: Now, you
| bad boy, you know you shouldn't have
done that. You can't afford it. I'd
| have been just as pleased II you q
given me some simple little thing" -,
She really thought this was good
policy She knew he had to save
| his money if they were ever to get
| married. and she imagined him deeply
grateful for her loyal support-her
| willingness to sacrifice beautiful gifts
| for economy's sake.
| Whereas Eric was sulky, hurt and
| bored at her attitude. She robbed him
of any joy he had felt in giving her
| the present.
Also he bitterly resented her con-
slant efforts to make him feel like
a -year-old. He keenly felt the
| humiliation she thrust on him. He
was aware of his friends ridicule.
/ When Jill found out what was
bothering him she was amazed. Eric
loved his mother, she reasoned. and
certainly that good lady was always
| babying him.
! Why did he resent Jill's maternal
admonitions? Because no man likes
to feel himself helpless infant in the
eyes of the woman he loves.
| No man wants his friends to know
that his girl feels 'motherly' toward
him.

FOUR CHURCHES
DENY WEAKENING
IN DRY FIGHT

WASHINE-ON, Fen. e3.-A militant
denial that the churches have weak
ened in their support Of prohibition
was issued here tonight over the
signatures of high officials of the
Methodist Episcopal church. the Meth
odist Episcopal church South, the
Methodist Protestant church, and the
United Brethren church.
The joint statement characterized
the recent prohibition survey of the
research department of the federla
council of churches as IAN ineXcus-
able betrayal of many church bodies"
declared there had been no apparent
change in the sentiment of the people
as whole; and appealed to church
members to unite in support of the
law.
1t was the first time high dignitar-
les of the four churches organiza-
tions had joined in a common outline
Of their views of prohibition The
statement was signed by Bishop
James Cannon, Jr, chairman of the
commission in temperance and social
service of the Methodist Episcopal
church South; Bishop William F. Nc
Dowell president, and DR.. Clarence
True Wilson, secretary, of the board
of temperance, prohibition and public
morals of the Methodist Episcopal
church,; Bishop w. M. Bell, of the
United Brethren church and Dr.
James H. Lewis, president of the gen
eral conference of the Methodist Pro-
testant church.
s"The present confusion" it said,
"seems to be due in large part to
the publication in September, 1925, CT
a report generally represented as
proceeding from the federal council
of churches. This report, prepared by
DR.. f. Ernest Johnson, was put into
print without submission to the ad-
committee of the federal
council for review or suggestion and
without general consultation with
church temperance boards or agencies.
1t does not represent the churches
nor the federal council. On the con-
representation, an inexcusable be-
trayal of, many church bodies when

OIL WELL BURNS
ON SIGNAL HILL;
FOUR MEN HURT
(Bx Disparcn 4. P. wirel

LONG BEACH, Calf, Feb. 23.-
Three men were burned seriously,
another received minor injuries and
damage estimated at $4,000 was
caused by spectacular fire which
destroyed the derrick and equipment
of the F. E. Coombs No. we'll in
the Los Cerritos extension of the
Signal hill oil field today and
spread to adjoining properties.
Request. for additional equipment
with which to combat the flames
was despatched late today to Los
Angeles when strong northwest
wind threatened to spread the flames
to other derricks.
The fire started from an explosion
in a gas pipe line and spread to the
well, quickly encircling residence
nearby. After firemen succeeded in
confining the blaze to the well, oil
started flying from the hole sending
a streak of flames toward several
fine homes.
The derrick of the Johnson No 5
well, $50 feet from the burning well
collapsed. Escaping gas, undermine
ing the ground surrounding the der
rick, was blamed for the fall. Sew
eral workmen narrowly escaped in
jury.
All available apparatus in the city,
augmented by the apparatus of large
oil companies in this vicinity, was
engaged in fighting the flames.

TWO POLICEMEN
SHOT DEAD BY
St. PAUL CROOKS
rBx Dispatch A. P. wirel

ST. PAUL, Feb 23.-Po1ice tonight
poked into every nook and Granny OF
St. Paul's underworld in search OF
two men who murdered two police
men here early today.
When nearly 80 men had been
questioned tonight, detectives appar-
ntly were no nearer capture of the
slayers than when they received the
first summons of the scene of the
murders.
Patrolman John Schultz, 80 years
old, and Fred A. Peitsch, 81, search
ing for robber gangs in the resi-
Dental districts were the victims. In
"a few hours last night, seven hold
ups had been reported.
The patrolmen had stopped two men
for questioning when the latter, after
a few words, shot and wounded the
policemen and then deliberately shot
them to death as they lay. helpless
in the street.
Aroused by the first shots, two
women-Mrs. Thomas Cameron and
her daughter-watched from win
dow as the gunner walked over to
the fallen men, fired a shot into the
head of each, examined them to make
sure they were dead and then fled
in an automobile.
Mrs. Cameron notified the police
and every detective and patrolman on
the force was put on-the hunt, with
Minneapolis police cooperating by

Haney was requested by Coolidge
