Marionette Spirit Dance.

In order to hold their sway over the
populace the magicians, or medicine
men, or wonderworkers of the tribe of
Sumatra resort to many bits of trick
cry and deception. One of these Is that
the family of a deceased person must
prepare for a farewell visit from the
dead person a few months after the
funeral and that the services of the
magician must be employed to bring
about this return. In the meantime
they devise a figure like the marion
cites, so familiar in other parts of the
world. This figure is prepared to re-
senble the deceased In some respects
and then in the semi-darkness of the
tent of the magician 1t is made to
go through some dance, being manipu-
lated by hidden strings The relatives
are duly impressed with this perform
ance and are satisfied that this is the
spirit of their departed kinsman and
that it is the last appearance on earth.
The magician collects tribute In one
shape or other from the family of the
departed and everybody is satisfied.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, December "a.

Conflicting aspects are seen in to-
morrow's horoscope, according TO as
trology, and the morning is the most
auspicious time for any sort OF impor-
tant accomplishment.
Women again have the friendly stars
on their side and they should md the
day most favorable to domestic prepar-
ations. last-minute shopping and social
affairs.
There is a first-rate sway for we'd
dings, and marriages should be attend
ed by prosperity.
There is a benefic aspect that prom
ises aid to those who are engaged in
any sort Of philanthropic or charitable
work.
Under this planetary government
those who forget self in their solicitude
for others are believed to benefit
greatly.
In the business world the early morn
ing hours are best and should be en-
ployed in constructive plans or routine
| work
There is a sign read as helpful to
| those who engage In occult studies or
! religious observances.
While this rule prevails there may
! be a tendency to exaggerate and even
| to deceive. 1t is not good time to
| speculate.
Men should beware of designing wom-
| en- who play at love. for those who read
the stars see perils to those who dabble
| in romance.
There is a good sign for intellectual
or artistic interests. Much mental ac-
tivity is encouraged while this configu-
ruration prevails.
The rule is conducive to tender men,
ories and high resolutions. which bring
members Of families into closer SYM
pathy.
Persons whose birth date it Is have
| the augury of success in financial af-
| fairs in the coming year.
Children born on that day probably
will have distinct talent for con.
structive work. These subjects Of Cap
ricorn often combine practical ideal:
with artistic instincts. They generally

man reverted to their rank of major
general. Criticism has been raised in
certain quarters over the fact that the
elevation of Gems. Bullard and Liggett
to a lieutenant generalcy will be fol-
lowed by other efforts to provi.', an
increase in their pay. But the law is
clear on this subject. The retired pay
of both Mai. Gems. Bullard and Lig-
gett is $4,000 a year, and in the event
they should be elevated to the grade
of lieutenant general, their compensa-
ton would be $6.750 per year. but $3.50
per year more for each officer
is, indeed, a small reward for the dis
Nation during their entire active duty
careers.
The view Is still held in some Army
circles that it is possible to acquire
congressional authorization for Army
promotion on length of service, without
restriction as to numbers in grade and
with all that is contemplated in the
way of voluntary retirement and dis
charge as contrasted with enforced sep
aration. Much has been said of the
grave doubt that would attend any
such proposal, principally because of
the present policy of the administra-
ton, as communicated from the Budget
Bureau, at the instance of the Presi-
dent, as against any such expenditure
of public funds as is certain to in
volve such project. On the other
hand, 1t is suggested that it would
be possible to convince Congress of the

Interest Is being evinced in the pro-
posal to make Maj. Gems. Hunter Lig-
gett and Robert l.. Bullard, now re-
tired major generals. lieutenant gen.
erals on the retired list of the Regular
Army. The grade of lieutenant gen.
eral gradually eliminated itself through
the death of these few officers who
held that coveted rank during and after
the Civil War. This grade was revived
on February s. 1895, with a proviso
that when said grade should once have
been filled and become vacant. it would
be of no effect. A lieutenant general
was included in the composition of the
Army by the act of February 2, 1901,
but was omitted from the composition
of the Regular Army by the act of
June 8, 1916.
From the close of the Spanish-Amer-
ican War up to the entry of the United
States in the World War, there were

Vice Admiral Louis McC. Mutton will
be advanced from command OF the bat-
tleship division to command the battle
feet as successor to Admiral Pratt and
Rear Admiral William G. Cole, now in
command of battleShip division 4, desig-
mated as the relief Of Admiral Mutton.
It is more than likely that number
of states of changes will be made and
discarded before final decision as to
important assignments is reached. A
study of the flag officer assignment
situation indicates that about Is flag
officers of the Navy will be subject to
assignment to shore duties next year.
In order to place all officers of the
Navy who fail upon examination for
promotion on a parity as regards loss
of numbers the Navy Department has
recommended that the present law be
amended so that all officers will suffer
more definite loss of numbers than
occurs under existing law. Under the
proposal the loss of numbers for line
officers will be as follows: Ensign to
lieutenant Junior grade). so numbers;
lieutenant (junior grade) to lieutenant,
25 numbers; lieutenant to lieutenant
commander, IL numbers. Staff OFF,
GERS, under the proposal. will suffer a
loss of numbers proportional to he
losses of members of line officers In
similar ranks in the same ratio as the
total number of commissioned officers

rant officers, bears to the total number
of commissioned officers in the line in

1t has been recommended as a meas
ure of saving on these appropriations
by the observance of a "sabbatical'
year, when the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps could come to shortened ra-
tions," with enlisted forces not kept up
to the maximum, and when other
economies could be practiced. Through
this functioning Of budget liberality, and
seventh year reduction, it is esti-
mated that, so far as the Army Is con-
