DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY BOB DICKSON.
Friday Night

Friday Night.
I guess Roosevelt and everybody
else who urged you to be patriotic and
have big families never had to go
apartment hunting, because If you
can find an apartment big enough for
a big family you cannot afford it, and
some apartments are so up-to-date
that they will not even let you bring
children into them, on account of if
you have children you are old-fash-
ioned, I guess, and if you had baby
after you moved in they probably
would put you out, and those guys
who write plays about somebody put
ting somebody else out in storm with
a little baby. why, they must live in
apartments themselves.
This evening Joan and / rushed
through dinner and got the janitor's
daughter to stay in the apartment
with the baby, and we took the car
and began looking for place to move

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, April "a.

Benefc stars dominate tomorrow, ac.
cording to astrology, which finds the
aspects most promising for friendly
associations.
This should be a day favorable to
merchants and manufacturers who use
it as a period of rest and forward
looking. Plans made under this direc-
ton of the stars should mature salts
factorily.
The clergy and the church should
benefit tomorrow, which inclines to
spiritual aspiration and sincere effort
toward helping the unfortunate.
Much building of homes for the un-
fortunate and laboratories for the
study of human ills is indicated for
this year.
The seers declare that conditions are
reaching the peak of old mistakes,
which include wrong living Of every
sort, and within few years there will
be period of real publication.
Women are to rise to tremendous
demands on them for public service,
and again they will follow great teach
ers who will explain the problems of
living.
There is a good sign for romance,
and love affairs should flourish under
this planetary government.
This is an auspicious sway for
friendly meetings of every sort, read
as especially favorable for family re-
unions.
Persons whose birth date it is should
have a prosperous year If they resist
temptation to indulge in recreations
that distract attention from important
matters.
Children born on that day may have
| decided bent for books. Many scien
lists and collectors of various sorts are
| born under this sign.

where we are because the Stewarts
are going to stay in their apartment
across the hall from us.
Well, we looked and looked. and we
did not find anything for the same
money that seemed as good as the
apartment we have now, sand finally
Joan said, 81 suppose we either have
to stay where we are or make up our
minds to pay little more rent" and
l said, "All right. What's five or ten
dollars if we can get just the place
we want and on the opposite side of
town from the Stewarts?" and so we
went and stopped in at another place
that we had passed up before, because
we knew the rents were higher.
Well, sign in the hall said to ring
the managers bell. and we did, and a
door opened and jane came down
the hall, and she looked at us like we
should have paid attention to "All de-
liveries in rear" and We told her what
we wanted, and she was democratic
enough to get some Keys and show us
around.
So we came to an apartment that
seemed to be just right, and the rent
wasn't more than 100 per cent too
much, and we were looking through
the rooms, and Joan said, Wouldn't
this make an adorable nursery" and
/ said, 1T certainly would" and the
woman said, "Oh, have you a baby?"
and Joan said, Yes"
The woman said, "Well, really,
couldn't think of letting you have an
apartment here. We don't allow
babies"
1 said, whats the matter?" and
she said, 'Well. you see. this is a very
modern, high-class apartment"
/ said, "Well, it's a very modern,
high-class baby, too, sister," and if she
had been a man maybe l could have
promoted an interesting little argu-
ment, but as it was Joan would not
let me go looking for her husband,
and we had to just walk out.
So we drove home, and Joan said,
81 suppose we NAV as well stay in the
apartment we have" and did not say
anything. because I was thinking, and
if / can only make up my mind about
getting up in the mornings and fixing
the fire and cutting grass and shovel
ing snow and fixing ,eaky faucets and
things, why. l will tell Joan what l
was thinking, and then we can have
any size family we want without get
ting an OK. from a landlord, and
could even have a garden, too, and /
could put up turning bars for the baby
so they would be ready when he was
old enough to use them.

Salient Points Of the Play.
Trick l. Upon Vests lead of the
four of spades and the spreading of
Dummy's hand, South, the declarer
realizes that in order to make game
he must establish his diamonds with
out the loss of trick in that suit, as
suming that the adversaries viii con-
tinue with spades. The lead of the
four of spades, with the two smaller
spades missing, indicates that West
probably held five spades originally.
If South allows the adversaries to
take a diamond trick, that, with
four spade tricks, will stop game
Dummy has only one sure entry, the
king of clubs, but South realizes that
| he will need two entries in Dummy in
| order to finesse the diamond twice,
| in case East holds the king OF dla'
monds with two small. South there.
| fore tries to provide another entry in
| Dummy in the spade suit, by playing
! the nine of spades on Vests four.
! If East holds the ten of spakes, this
| strategy will prove unsuccessful, as
| South must take the trick in his own
hand. Should East hold no higher
card than the nine, Dummy holds the
trick If East holds either the ace or
king without the ten, he is forced to
cover the nine and South discards the
| queen, thereby establishing the jack
as an entry in Dummy. allowing him
to take two diamond illnesses.
Trick 5. The second diamond flnesse
like the first, proving successful, with
both East and West following suit
South is assured of five diamond tricks
which, with two club and two heart
tricks and one trick in spades, gives
him four odd and game. -

The correct placing of furniture in
a room is Of vital Importance if we
would have our homes appear attrac-
lively furnished. That is imperative,
whether we have genuine antiques of
priceless value or the simplest of cot
tage furniture. 1t is a matter entirely
apart from monetary aspects. 1t has
TO do with the more subtle elements
of charm, poise, balance and beauty.
Since this is the case, the humblest
home decorator and the wealthiest
householder have equal privilege. If
the person of modest means has the
better taste she will have this part of
her home-malling finer than the per-
son with unlimited means-that is. if
the latter does not call in a decorator,
and let the expert use his judgment.
But when the good taste of the deco
rator is a thing apart from that of the
householder, then some element is
lacking to make the decoration con-
vincingly appropriate. 1t seems forced
and foreign.
Pleasing Effects.

interiors, it is well to find out the fun

foundation, personal taste and indi-
Vidual preference find security. Chief
among these fundamental considera-

have some room that presents such a
problem. Study the room. If it is
longer than wide, see that lines of
furniture break the length rather than
accent it. If it is q square room, en-
deavor to get some circular effects in
careful adjustment of the pieces. If
the room is so big that what you have
to go in it seems lost and insignificant,
instill the impression that what you
have is entirely adequate by intrigu-
ing optical illusions. For instance,
draw the walls together by keeping
the furniture away from them, some
times just a trife. and by cutting off
corner spaces by having suitable
pieces placed diagonally across one or
two. etc. A davenport, piano, a
table, a desk, a secretary, any one of
these articles can be so disposed ad-
vantageously.
Contours.
A high piece of furniture against a
long wall, especially when near the
center of the space, divides it, accom-
plishing the double illusion of shorten
ing the length and accenting the
height. Two tall articles of dark fur
niture of mahogany. antique oak, wal
nut, etc, placed against the same wall,
but each one rather near the
corners. gives the impression of lower
ing the ceiling and of stressing the
length of the room. This is because
the eye is caught by the imaginary
line from the top of one object to the
top of the other without travelling to
the ceiling. while it also unconsciously
gauges the space between the objects,
which appears to be even more than
it is.
Experiments.
And so, when you do not know what
the reasons are if rooms do not ap-
pear pleasing. experiment in the rear
rangement of the furniture, for the
whole trouble may lie there. In any
event you may be quite sure that part
of the trouble will be removed when
the best arrangement has been found.

Sage Tea for Fading Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds-Will rinsing the
hair in sage tea after the shampoo
darken the hair or prevent it from
turning gray? MISS LOUISE.
Answer-The tea is a good tonic for
fading hair. 1t is not a dye, but if
used regularly it will deepen the
color Of the hair and check the gray
ing process for a while. 1t will not
prevent hair from turning gray in
the course of time, however. Hair
that is mostly gray cannot be turned
back to brown with the sage tea.
Brew the sage like ordinary tea in
boiling water. LOIS LEEDS.

WHEAT SCORES GAIN
ON WEATHER NEWS
Kessinger Bill Reports, However,
Tend to Act as Bearish In
fuence on the Market.


CHICAGO, June 21.-Unfavorable
weather over both the Winter wheat
region and the corn belt tended to lift
grain prices early today. Advance
ment of the Kessinger bill in the
Legislature in Springfield, however,
was construed as q bearish influence
and acted at times as an offset. Open
ing unchanged to IS lower, wheat SUBJ
sequently rose to above yesterdays
finish. Corn started unchanged to q
up and later scored gains all around.
Oats were firm; provisions pointed up
ward.
Aside from the bullish effect of I'M
favorable weather, some buying OF
grain today appeared to be based on
gassip that the Kessinger bill at
Springfield. even if enacted, would
never become operative, and that in
junction proceedings against any at
tempt to enforce the measure would
promptly be restored to. The progress
of the bill to third reading, though,
was looked upon in general as de-
pressing market factor.
Upturns in corn values today were
better held than those in wheat. Field
advices from typical sections of the
corn belt said that despite blowing
and planting still in progress no large
acreage of corn would be planted this
year and that anything like normal
Weld seems out of the question.
