servists will be recalled to active duty
for this voyage. The crew will be
made up of the ipkeepers, ana
such additional Regular Navy men as
may be obtained from the receiving
ship here. Reservists will not be re-
called, It was said because OF the fact
that it will take longer than the

the Allen to Philadelphia, put her out

past two Summers it has been
necessary to crowd the crews. when

dorado Taft, world famous sculp-
tor, author and lecturer, stopped
the show" at joint session of the
American Federation of Arts and
American Association OF Museums,
in the Mayflower Hotel today. by
description of his projected super
museum of art.
Mr.. Tafts address. literally
sprinkled with wit, was applauded
for several minutes by his audience,
and a motion to allow him another
half-hour to speak was adopted in
a salvo of handclapping and cheers.
The sculptor, however, declined.
He said he was not at all sure
that his idea of a great museum,
telling the story of art in an all
embracing and orderly manner,
would be embraced by America.
america thinks little of the
past" he said. land less of the
future. 1t lives only for the pres
ent."
After describing several rooms
and divisions of rooms in the pro-
iected museum, the speaker urged
that museums should be really big
and should be planned with an eye
toward orderly and artistic arrange
ment. He criticized most museums
of the present as "glorified what.
nots."
IF you get your museums big
enough" he said, people won't
think they have to see it all In one
day. This should go far toward
abolishing museum fatigue"
Other speakers were Audrey Avin.

scum, Pittsburgh, and Chauncey J.

Maybe you are having an afternoon

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, February 26.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
q menacing day In planetary dlrectlon
"A day that should encourage attend
ance at church and avoidance OF many
personal contacts.
There is an aspect tending to make
both men and women dodge the truth
and practice deception. -.
Family quarrels should be prevented
even more cautiously than usual. for
under this direction of the stars they
may easily become serious
Divorces and marital troubles are
supposed to be precipitated under this
ages double dealing.
This is read as unfavorable for meet
ings between persons of opposite sex.
Warning is given against indulgence
in criticism or fault-finding of any sort
This is one of the evidences of foolish
egotiSm.
The seers foretell Nationwide agi-
tation to restore a sense of the sacred
ness Of human life. Increase of muir
der and suicide will be marked the first
half of 1928. they predict. /.
The speculative tendency which viii
be demonstrated as widespread this
year. will increase gambling. aStrologers
foretell.
Women as we'll as men will indulge
in rash ventures that will entail heavy
losses. it is forecast. and society will
play cards with hectic interest.
The desire for excitement Is to
reach its climax in this decade. when
the search for pleasure will bring about
serious results, the SeerS warn.
Persons whose birth date it is should
not lend money in the coming year.
and they should be especially careful
in making contracts.
Children born on that day probably
will have executive ability Many able
architects are born under this sign.
