Reply.

You all have read the saying about
Youth and Fail; and I wish it were true
for all young men and women, as 1t is
for the fortunate majority. But If 1
were to judge by youths in distress who
write to me, fail" is the one word il
constant use Yet not quite that. but
rather fear of failure, which is, after all,
but a distorted reaction to the strong
ambition to succeed, which is the BIRTH
right Of vigorous youth. That's the
reason why so many more cases of suf-
ferers from fear are men, and not
women. whom we look upon as the timid
sex, seeking protection. Because man
is expected to be manly and independent
and courageous, any departure from
that ideal is the more disturbing. Fear
hits him harder.
There Is hope in this letter: So long
as you plan great things, you haven't
stopped hoping that you can do them
1t would be wiser to plan little things
that you can do. Walking step by step
gets you there faster than dreaming of
flying; dream, if you like, as you walk
or climb.
Apart from the compliment, what I
like about this letter Is the recognition

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, January so.

AS the month draws to close, the
stars radiate benef1c influences, accord
ing to astrology. The early morning,
however, is q time for caution.
Tomorrow is a day when women will
be inclined to insist on special privi-
leges and to be aggressive in business
| affairs, it is announced.
| While the planetary government
seems to favor women'S ambitions, 1t
may present embarrassment to men or
corporations dealing with them.
Tomorrow should be lucky wedding
day. and especially fortunate for brides
who may expect to exercise much influ-
ence In the family financial affairs.
Theaters now should profit. and there
is indication of great popularity for new
stars of the stage.
Temptation to exaggerate or even to
deceive may be strong tomorrow, when
the desire to make good representations
may lead to frauds.
Again the SeerS warn against Specula-
ton on the part of persons who cannot
afford to lose their money There is a
most threatening sign for all chance
enterprises
While this configuration prevails, the
impulse to gamble in every way will be
strong and it will affect old and young
alike.
| American Monte Carlos will flourish
| for time next Summer, II the stars
are rightly interpreted.
| Hotels continue under a most favor
able rule, making for increased popu-
larity, especially as places of perma-
nent residence.
| Because extremes strongly hold sway
the desire for homecoming will be as
keen as the inclination to avoid house.
| hold cares. 1t is foretold, and the year
/ will be profitable for building and loan
associations
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury Of new experiences and
novel ambitions for the coming year.
The temptation to indulge in romance
may be strong.
Children born on that day proba-
bly, will be extraordinarily attractive,
and for that reason in danger of being
spoiled. These subjects of Aquarius
often reveal contradictory traits They
! are brave, Independent and forceful but
they may be much interested in dress
and in bizarre modes. Many choose
careers that keep them before the
public.

One mother says:
I have found a satisfactory method
of lengthening the life of baby blankets
without sacrifice Of dantiness or beauty.
After the blankets have been washed
enough to lose the charm of fresh
ness, I cover them with harmonizing
shade of wolfe and tie with a con-
trasting fast-color pearl cotton. Blan-
kets treated in this way wash beau
tifully and make the most dainty
looking little coverlets imaginable. For
, q heavier and richer looking coyerelet,
cover the old blanket with white out
ting flannel first. and then with pink
or blue vcile The resulting comforter
is delightful.

1880 Auto License Tags Problem for D. c, Heads
CHANGE FORCED
BY PERSONAL
TAX RULE

The District Commissioners
probably will act on the ques-
tion of the date to issue auto
mobile license tags for 1850
at the regular board meeting
in the District Building this
afternoon.
In past years tags have been
made available for motorists in
December and the deadline on old
plates was the last day Of that
month. Since the enactment OF the
law which provides all personal
taxes must be paid before tags
can be procured the license bureau
has been up against a problem,
It Is understood that the Com
missioners wish to continue as in
previous years In issuing plates but
under a ruling OF the Corporal ton
Counsel such procedure would be
in direct contravention of the law.
The Commissioners might permit
motorists to operate on 1929 tags
until such time In January as the
new tags can be issued. There is
one other course, which however
will probably not be pursued, namely,
seeking q change in the law when
Congress convenes. which will per.

december instead Of January.

Mrs. johnson and her companion
face charges of transporting and pos
sessing liquor, which come under the
Jones law and may result in five
year jail terms for both. Her auto
mobile, in which she was riding with
Brennan when they were arrested,
has been confiscated by police.
Story Delays Hearing
A story told to the accompaniment
of many tears led Hart to continue
hearing in the case until septem-
Der A.
Mrs. Johnson told the prosecutor
that she has invested all her savings
in a pharmacy near Fifth and L
Streets Northwest and employs 6
registered druggist to run it for her.
On the night before she was ar.
rested, she said, she drove from her
store to her home in Northeast and
parked her car in front of the house.
The next morning, at an early hour,
she drove with Brennan. friend, to
call upon her brother, who lives near
the AnacoStia bridge, on a business
matter.
Sergt. George NJ. Little noticed
that the car appear ed to be heavily
loaded and, after following it for sew.
eral blocks. drew alongside with his
squad. He said they found so half
gallon Jars of liquor concealed In the
rear under a tarpaulin.
May Have Been Borrowed
Both Mrs. Johnson and Brennan
said they knew nothing about the
liquor and had not noticed it before,
but were taken to the Fourth pre-.
cinct station and charged with trans
portation and possession.
The possibility that Mrs. John
sons car may have been "bor.
rowed" during the night by a boot
logger. who later found himself
unable to deliver his liquor load
was taken into consideration by
Prosecutor Hart.
A certain notorious run-runner
in the city has been under sus.
picion Of INDUCING in the practice
of borrowing machines. Hart said.
He said. however, that he had lit
tie hope of escape to offer Mrs.
