less fine would have merely shrugged
her shoulders.
Nan worried.
After the birth of Muriel the doctor
had expected her to gain. He pre-
scribed a tonic for her, not liking the
waXen look of her and the slender
fragility of her body. But she did
not gain. She remained as slender as
wand, and her eyes continued to
wear that look Of brooding mystery.
1t was only when she was quite
alone with Muriel that she relaxed
She grew to look forward to bathing
hours. The feel of the warm, healthy
little body was SO marvellous that 1t
almost brought tears to her eyes. Then
afterward, when Muriel was warmly
wrapped up in a soft blanket, Nan
would hold her while she had her bot
tie. The modern doctor did not believe
in coddling a child.

this.
ITS bad for baby to hold her too
much. They very quickly grow to
want it. and then you'll have trouble.

she has had her bath and is ready
for her bottle. Then so out and leave
her alone"

1t was so sweet to hold her small,

Now she found it difficult to eat.
She would take a little of every

notice how little appetite she had. But
he did notice. Didn't he love her be-

patient with her merely because of
that love?
But she must eat.

THE DAILY

Wednesday, August II.

Tomorrow is one of the really lucky
days of the month, according to as
trology. which finds benefic aspects
strongly dominant.
Again women are subject to in.
spring and stimulating influences,
which indicate much public activity
as well as home development.
While interest will strongly focus
on domestic affairs and science will
be applied more and more to the
household. civic service will be de-
manded by the public, the seers de-
clare.
1t is read as a lucky day for we'd
dings, making for steady progress
ir prosperous paths.
Love affairs will flourish for the
remainder of the month when suitors
will be serious and less inclined than
previously toward non-committal WOO
ing.
This is read as propitious rule for
all who travel by land or sea and it
will be evident that the prophecy Of a
record-breaking number Of tourists for

COMMUNISTS MAKE BID FOR

Chicago, Ill.-ANP) = Declaring
that Negroes would never secure
their full rights of citizenship in
America under the present form of
government, the Workers Commun-
ist Party, at the tenth annual ami
versary of the Russian revolution,
urged Negroes to join the Commun-
ist Party.
The meeting was held in the Ash
land Boulevard auditorium and was
attended by large number of Ne
groes. Much reference was made by
the speakers to the manner in which
the Negroes were treated in America
Concrete cases of mistreatment were
cited and deplored. One of the cases
cited was the Gary school situation
which resulted in the Negro children
being forced into wooden buildings to
wait for the erection of a substantial
school building.
Lynchings in the South and the
growing jim-crowism in the North,
along with the closed door faced by
Negro workmen, were set forth as
some of the conditions under which
according to the speakers, they would
continue to labor as long as the pres
ent form existed.
According to reports here, the
meeting recently was for the launch
ing of national campaign for Ne
groes to join the Communist party.
Other meetings will be held here and
