What Tomorrow Means to You

TomorroW'S planetary aspects are
variable. In the early hours, and UNI

afternoon they are adverse. After
shutdown they assume a very favor
able character 1t cannot in any
sense, be considered propitious oc-
casion for any new undertaking, or
for the carrying out of any radical
change. On the contrary, it would be
polite to attend only to customary
duties in the customary way and, all
the time. To guard against impulse.
The evening offers exceptionally au-
spicious omens for those Sin love"

such conditions only happiness awaits
the 'plighters.
Children born tomorrow will, dur
ing infancy, enjoy normal health. and
the few minor ailments from which
they may suffer will readily yield to
ordinary remedies. Just prior, how
ever, to the attainment of adulthood
they will experience a grave Illness
that viii demand skillful treatment
and more than usual care. These chill

They will, however, show greater evil

Their tastes, as they develop, will be
more artistic than material.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
strive for culture, and possess refined
tastes and high ideals, although you
lack the perseverance to attain the
latter. You are shrewd and super
ficially intellectual, but possess very
little profound knowledge. You, how
ever, generally succeed in making a
good impression, as no one can deny
that you are both just and generous.
You are not egotistical, although self
opinionated. You are, at times, pill
able, while at other times you are will

mixer. and you can easily adapt your
self to new circumstances or condi-

you as you wish to be appraised, and
not in accordance with positive val

Your Baby and Mine
By MYkTLE NEVER ELDRED.
Flies.

This is the season for our arch
enemy, the fly. The fly may be
merely nuisance to adults, but he
Is a real menace to the baby, and
every means should be used to pro-
tect him against the pest.
Screen the windows early in the
season. Keep the fly swatter busy.
Use sprays when the flies get bad and
out of control. Use sticky fly paper
and poison fly paper df it can be
kept safely out of the way of chill
dren), put mosquito netting over
the baby's cab and crib, and, most
of all, keep his playthings in a COW
cred box and his milk bottles where
they cannot possibly be touched by
a fly.
Some persons get SO used to flies
that they can see no harm in them.
They take them as a necessary ac-
compartment of Summer, and though
they make feeble efforts to get rid
of them, they aren't much worried
II they aren't successful
They fail to see in the fly carrier
of filth and disease germs. The fly's
sticky legs may rest first upon a
pail of rotting garbage and his nexa
lighting place may be the glass in
which the baby's milk has just been
poured. He drinks his fill, and, rub
bling his legs together, washes them
in the milk
Fruit left exposed and then un-
washed will undoubtedly be so con-
taminated with the filth of numerous
flies that an intestinal infection and
diarrhea is an inevitable aftermath
if such fruit is ever eaten.
Some of the mysterious illnesses
which attack children in the Summer
could no doubt be traced directly to
infections spread by flies. But since
we have no methods for detecting
such infections, our one recourse is
to fight every fly as If he were a
deadly enemy, as in truth he is.

Patchwork.

Girls whose schools have closed and
who find long Summer hours on their
hands will be looking for something
to occupy their hands and minds.
Bows are easier provided for because
there are more jobs about for them
The girls have 10 find work that is
light and easy and pleasant and close

am recommending patchwork quits.
In the first place they are very styl-

patchwork quilt it gives you certain
tone. You waggle your head proudly
and say, That was made by my great
grandmother when she was girl.
Those blue bits about the border are
the pieces from my great grandfather $
uniform. He fought, you know, in the
Battle of Washington Heights. That
red is bit of the shawl my grand
mother wore when she was little girl.
Fancy little girls wearing shawls. But
they did.
That patchwork quilt gives you a
certain BACKGROUND and a feeling of
family power that young folks find
very pleasant Old folks, too. Watch
your mother point to the sampler on
the sitting room wall and say, I'm
very fond of that. 1t was made by my
great-aunt when she was II. Charm
ing, isn't it"
Wouldn't it be fine to have patch
work club and start q quilt, using all
the bits of the family clothing and
heirlooms that you can gather. The
patterns are very pretty, the opportu-
mites for color arrangement are as
many as there are patches. The skill
and the art that goes into a good quilt
is little short of artistry. Why not
try it if You are not going to camp or
school this Summer
One of the best ways to discover a
new arrangement for patches is by
way of another old-fashioned paStime
for children, the penny poppy show, or
poppet show, it is sometimes called.
You take "a square of glass, piece of
window pane. and you can arrange on
it, face down, pattern of flower
petals. You arrange a center piece
and border. or you lay series of
similar units to make a surface pat
tern, as you prefer.
Walk down the flower border and
select the blossoms whose petal forms
and colors you like best. Pick a few
of them and lay them in a design
shift them again and again until you
get the right one. When your pattern
is complete lay a sheet of paper,
gummed along the edges, on the flower

ed. Advancing confidently without
fiankers or scouts, he marched head
long into carefully planned ambush,
with the Indians firing at close range
from the houses. Many of the horses
dropped and panic seized the entire
party, but Col. Hammond managed
by some miracle to rally 90 men to
his side for a charge upon a fence
from behind which the heaviest fire
was coming. This display of courage
took the fight out of the savages for
the time ebbing. but not until IS from
tiersmen had been wounded.
At daybreak Williamson destroyed
the houses on the hither bank and
ordered an advance across the stream,
but only to be met with the refusal
of his men to follow, when Hammond
a second time saved the situation,
declaring that he would go alone if
necessary, and wading into the
stream with only three men at his
side. Inspired by this spectacle the
rest Immediately followed and with a.
shout crossed the stream and rushed
the houses on the farther bank, driv-
ing out every last redskin in short
order. They then burned the houses,
some 5000 bushels of corn and other
provisions and returned to the fort.

Call on Bosses to
Protect Workers Eyes

NEW YORK, March 23.-Pointing
to the enormous compensation cost
of eyes lost in industry, the national
committee for the prevention of blind
ness seeks to influence employers to
introduce safety measures, better
light in factories, etc, to save work
ers' eyes-and the charge for lost
ones. Over 53S eyes were lost by
workers in Pennsylvania last year,
the committee finds and the compen-
sation cost for the blinded persons
was greater than that for the loss of
81 legs, 70 arms and 1870 hands taken
by industry from workers during the
same period.
at has always been the conviction
OF the national committee for the pre-.
vention Of blindness that eye hazards
are the most serious OF all non-fatal
industrial accident hazards" declares
Lewis H. Carris, managing director OF
the committee. Loss OF eyes in Penn
.sylvania cost employers 100000 in
1925; SS,011,259 since the workmen's
compensation law became effective n
the state. Because the value of eyes
lost to the workers concerned-3SSt
eyes lost thru industrial accidents
since the law brot compensation-is
inestimable, the committee does moi
mention 1t.

New York Editor
Faces Trial for
Seditious Libel

NEW YORK, March ga brief on
the appeal from the conviction OF
Captain Harry Ely, II year old edi-
tor of 1.-THE New York Tenant" on a
charge of seditious libel has been
fled in the appellate division of the
New York supreme court by his at
torney, Congressman F. H. La
Guardia. The hearing will be held
either in June or in the fall.
Captain Ely was sentenced to serve
from six months to three years in
prison by Judge Francis x. Mancuso
for criticizing Judge William J. A.
Caffrey Of the New York municipal
court. Congressman LaGuardia as
serts that instead of charging the
jury on the question of criminal libel
against a person, Judge Mancuso
made the defendants attack appear
to be seditious libel against the court
itself, by describing 1t as IAN attempt
to undermine the institutions created
by our forefathers and exposing our
tribunals to ridicule and contempt"
This case is the first of it's kind to be
heard in New York courts since colon
ial days.
