Equinox.

You can break up a pleasant social
gathering any time, strange though
it seems, by starting a discussion OF
the equinox. The subject is about as
dangerous TO social peace as religious
topics were in the middle ages. DO
YOU belong to the party that denies
there is such thing? Or do you hold
with those that remember from earli-
est childhood the terrible storms and
misfortunes of the middle or last part
of September?
That there is an equinox no one
should doubt. The term is an astro-
nomical one, meaning the few days in
Spring and Autumn when day and
night are practically equal in length.
At this season. too, the tides are dis
tinctly affected, since tides are astro-
nomically regulated.
AS for the storms, IL any storm.
little or big. appears at this time of
year, people say, What did / tell
you? This is the equinox" But if no
storm occurs, then people forget to
note the fact or they pick on storm
some time in October and say, 1.-The
equinox is late this year" However,
the equinox is never late; that is, the
true astronomical equinox can be pre-
dicted to a nicely. If it were ever
late or early, then the solar system
would be in turmoil and we might
expect anything. Mars might come
near enough to be dangerous.

Every one has his or her idea of
where comfort leaves off and actual
luxury begins. Our own private
opinion is that true luxury is first at

her bedroom.

How grateful one feels then for an

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, September FL.

In the busiest hours of tomorrow
the planetary government is unim-
portant, according to astrology.
Early in the morning there is a
benefic aspect that is most promising
to industry, making for contentment
among workers.
There is a fairly good sign for con-
structive activities and it should be
helpful to merchants and manufac-
turers.
1t is forecast that iron and steel
interests will profit greatly from
world needs. which will increase in
the coming Winter.
Women should make plans for the
coming season while this sway pre-.
walls, for there will be many avenues
of usefulness opened to them.
Under this direction of the stars
both men and women must depend
upon themselves for success of any
sort, for they will not easily obtain
support or assistance.
1t is not an suspicious date for
those who seek employment, but
women probably will be luckier than
men.
All the seers appear to think that
women are to have a period of tre-
mendous success in the world of bust
ness as well as the domain of art.
In dress and in customs fashion is
to change once more in favor of eX-
tremely feminine ideals, it is fore
told.
Women are to gain fame and for
tune in special fields of work that
they will make all their own, it is
prophesied.-
Owing to certain astrological influ
ences the greed for money will be
stronger even than hitherto and will
lead to many crimes, such as forgery.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the prospect of an unusually pros
porous year, but it is wise to be cir
cumspect in financial matters.
Children born on that day probably
will be prosperous all through their
lives. The subjects of this sign like
the good things OF life and are able
TO attract them.

were to be emptied the flap was UNI
buttoned and the soiled clothes fell

Then she worked on another idea
Nancy scorned crochet which was
loose and wobbly and out of shape
as soon as it was Numbered. But
she made a luncheon set which had
none of those faults and had an
added virtue of it's own. Being made
of heavy ecru crochet cotton. it did
not show the soil quickly. But the
filet stitch was so firm that even re-
peated launderings failed to spoil it..
She made the doilies oblong, thus
obviating that curling up which
comes with round lace doilies
The pattern was bold but simple.

Sauce for Beans.

An excellent sauce with which to
combine kidney beans is made in the
following way: Melt one-half a cup
full of fat and in it saute a medium
sized onion minced. When the onion
is tender add two finely chopped
canned pimentos and two cupfuls of
strained stewed tomatoes. Mix two
tablespoonful of flour with a little
water to form a smooth paste and
cook until thickened. Combine the
sauce and the beans and simmer to-
gether several minutes before serving.
This amount of sauce is sufficient for
three cupfuls of beans.

Talcum Powder for Grease Spots
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

recommend this simple remedy for
grease spots. Do not expect the
powder to remove anything but the
grease. That is, if there is some col
oring matter in the oil or fat, it may
remain or it may not, according to
the kind of stain. Some colors will
come out with the powder when 1t is
brushed off, and some refuse. But
before doing anything to take out the
color get the grease out.
The powder should be sprinkled on
the spot as soon as possible, so that it
can sink into the weave of the goods
and absorb the oil. If the first treat
ment does not prove entirely success
full, repeat it, for there may be more
oil in the spot than the talcum can
absorb, and more powder will then be
required. Leave the powder on the
spot over night if needed. But IL a
fieck of butter or salad oil or fat gets
on a dress, shake a little powder on
the spot as soon as the meal is over,
and when the powder has rubbed off.
as it will while you are wearing the
frock, the spot will probably have
vanished with it also.
Powder Your Gloves.
Another excellent use for talcum
powder is to shake into kid gloves
after they have been worn and are
being put away. The powder absorbs
the moisture of Precipitation that may
be inside the glove without showing
through the kid. When taking out
the gloves later to wear Mt another
time. shake out the powder and the
gloves will be fresh and sweet and
flexible

Talcum and Rubber Goods.

Talcum powder put on rubber goods,
such as bathing caps laid away for
another season, rubber bottles not
often used. and rubber gloves that
have come in contact with grease,
will help to keep the things in good
condition.
Varied Uses.
In. fact. it is surprising the number
of excellent uses to which talcum
powder can be put besides those ordi-
narily considered its function. We
recognize it as toilet accessory, but
are not apt to think of it as a house
hold help in the little ways mentioned.

 CHALLENGE TODAY
Support Behind Mackey Boosted
 for Philadelphia Mayoralty

By the United Press
 New York. New Jersey and Penn sylvania went 10 the polls today in local elections, some of them in yolying issues of national interest.
 Municipal primaries in Philadel- phia were generally regarded as testing the strength of William S. Ware. republican senator elect whose seat is challenged on the grounds of alleged campaign corrup- ton. Ware support was behind Harry A. Mackey, city treasurer and Nare's campaign manager, against former Mayor J. Hampton Moore. independent candidate for the republican nomination for may CT. City interest was keen, bring ing out a record registration of 50o.- 0G0. Robert Y. Bolger and Thomas A. Logue were opposed for the democratic nomination.
 Elsewhere in Pennsylvania issues were chiefly of local interest, with excitement running high in Pitts burgh, where police with tear gas and riot guns were on patrol to pre- vent disorder.
 In New Jersey the vote was upon five proposals to amend the state constitution, one of them providing for election of the governor every four years in presidential years. This has been attacked by the
 
 swamp opposition at times when the farm vote is out in strength.
 Interest in primary elections in New York was confined to contests for nomination of IS candidates for state assembly one for state senator, and one for congressman, in addi- ton to local offices.
