THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, October l6.


Astrologers read tomorrow as a for.
tunate day in planetary direction, with
benefic aspect strongly dominating.
Women should benefit from the in
fiuence of the stars.
Under this sway housekeepers
should have good grasp of domestic
problems and be able to plan wisely.
Romance is likely to flourish while
this rule prevails, and the evening
should be favorite time for suitors
who offer hearts and hands.
1t should be an auspicious date for
giving dinner parties or for entertain
ing groups Of friends.
Music is subject to the best pos
sible rule, making for a season or
splendid success in opera and concert.
All the artistic interests now preva-
lent In America appear to be under 9
government OF the stars that promises
supreme attainment.
There is legend that good luck at.
tends the wearing of new garments
under this configuration.
Fashions now will assume undue
importance, 1t is foretold, but mo-
distes and importers will face unusual
financial risks.
There may be an inclination toward
assembling tomorrow, for the desire
to make good impression will be
strong in the human mind.
Luxury will be sought even more
assiduously than formerly, If the stars
are rightly interpreted, and America
will lead the world in new splendors
in the way of dwellings and modern
forms Of living.
Closer relations between the United
States and Great Britain are forecast
for the coming year.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the forecast of a happy, prosperous
year, marked by fine friendships.
Children born on that day probably
will be lovers of home and of artistic
things. Men who are subjects of this
sign should he especially lucky.

HOME NOTES
BY JENNY WREN.

Here's an example of how an archi-
tectural mistake can often be turned
into an architectural advantage with
little thought and ingenuity.
Between the living room and dining
room in this house was pair of
heavy, unseemly sliding doors. They
were completely unlovely, and they
threw the two rooms together in a
way that was a disadvantage to both.

Rare Writing Cases of Buhl Are Antique Treasures
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

I frames and all sorts of fine furniture.
Because the materials were OF in
trinsic value the furniture was costly
originally and now brings fabulous
sums.
Careful Treatment.
But it is not alone because the ma
terials are valuable, but because of
the fineness CT the work itself that
buhl furniture always has, and al
ways will command high prices. Nor
is the furniture cheap to own, for tor
toise shell and copper each require
polishing and care to remain at their
best. The care of the furniture Is
something to consider. Just now tor.
toise shell is used but little, but its
place as a choice article does not
cease.
Unfortunately buhl furniture Is
perishable. 1t does not withstand the
wear of time alone, to say nothing OF
the wear of usage. And so there is
very little now to be found outside
Of Versailles, the Wallace collection
in London, some other museums, and
the private collections of connoisseurs.
But homemakers can see examples
and be conversant with the style.
The Sheraton of France.
Buhl, sometimes called the Sheraton
of France, because of the similarity
Of their conceptions Of furniture, was
duly appreciated by his nation, hav-
ing been a master of furniture max
ing at the Gobelin factories. But it
is pitiful to remember that each man
came to dire want. Their marvellous
furniture. however, remains as an ex-
ample of artistry and craftsmanship
difficult to excel and seldom rivaled.

were held in a number of the eighty

the spelling bee, being sponsored in
Indianapolis and in Indiana by The

In numerous classrooms of fifth,
sixth. seventh and eighth grade pu-
pills, teachers found it necessary to
hold extra sessions to determine the
grade champions. Those competing
in each spell-off were pupils who had
tied in the grade written bee last
Thursday.
Ties in the various classrooms
were eliminated today through oral
spelling of words chosen by school
principals and class teachers from
the Mccall Speller. This speller is
being used in the contests in all In
dianapolis schools enrolled in the
competition.

ASPHAL 7
PLANT TO
= BE OPENED
Street Repair Costs Too
High on Contract, Says
City Engineer.

Declaring the city can repair
streets with it's own workmen cheap
Ell than contract with asphalt firms,
today planned to reopen the city
asphalt plant within a month with
gasoline funds.
Lingenfelter declared he did not
know who would head the plant,
idle since the beginning Of the Du-
vail administration. The budget ap-
preparation was cut by the present
board of works. Engineers admit
operation of the asphalt plant is a
great saving to the city.
New Gangs Busy
Two gangs of Indiana Asphalt
Company workmen began work on
Indianapolis streets today under
contract with the city to lay asphalt
for $21.75 a ton. City Purchasing
Agent John j. Collins declared the
Indiana Asphalt Company underbid
the j. NJ. Morgan & Sons Co., whose
figure was $23.40 a ton. Collins said
all companies were asked to bid, but
only two entered estimates.
Ligenfelter, who recently succeed
ed Chester Oberleas, ousted by Mayor
Duvall, would not estimate the cost
Of repairing streets with city as
phalt plant material, but said it
could be done much cheaper"
Superintendency in Doubt
Politicians speculated as to who
will be named superintendent of
the plant. Edward Rochat, super
intendent of outside constructors,
was mentioned as possible ap-
pointee.
The Indiana Asphalt Company
will put on additional workmen in
few days to fill the multitude of
chuck holes which have been
neglected for months. Cutting was
begun by the two games. Two city
gangs have been working under
Rochat, using materials purchased
from the Mcnamara Construction
Company.
Lingenfelter announced he would
open the asphalt plant as soon as
possible after the State board of ac-
counts informed him it would be
legal to use part of the $75, 900
gasoline tax fund appropriated by
city council. Roy C. Shaneberger,
works board president. said Lingen-
felter had been authorized to open
the city plant.
