WAS YOU BORN IN AUGUST?

1t is predicted of those born in
August that they will come into q
considerable inheritance, with a
good deal of property. They may
lose money through speculation OF
gambling, or through false friends
but men born in this month are
supposed to be good at business
and have an attractive personality
which will stand them in good
stead. They are inclined to think
rather too well of themselves, how.
evr, and of their ability, and are
prideful. The August born women
are said to be homelovers, and fine
cooks.

Washingtonx Dec. P UP) - President Hoover will let congress work out for itself the problem Of avoiding d special session after March 1. 1t was learned at the White House today.
 Suggestions that the president would ask passage of a single bill carrying all necessary appropria- tions for running the government for the next year, as a means Of saving time, were met at the White House with the word that the whole matter would be left to the JudG- ment of congress.
 Mir. Hoover believes the decision as to accelerating legislation at this session is a legislative matter solely and therefore to be determined by the congress itself.
 The position of the executive was made clear after Senator Moses, re- publican, N. H., had indicated MT. Hoover might issue statement urg- ing congress to pass q single act containing all existing appropria- tions for next year, By such step, Moses pointed out, the possibility of a fillhuster against any of the 12 in dividual appropriation bills might

 Worcester. Mass, Dec. 22 Pl- Barbara Buffum Bramwell, who was committed to the Worcester state hospital last Friday. following her wedding on Monday to Wilton Bramwell, d stewards clerk on the $. S. Mauretania, made her escape from the hospital at o'clock this morning. She dropped IS feet from the window of the private room in which she was being kept and fled in her night gown.
 Breaks Out Window
 The room In which Mrs. Brarn- we'll was confined had a window, the lower half of which was barred and the upper half was filled in with wooded blocks.
 She managed to dig out enough Of these wooden blocks with some kind of a tool, the nature Of which has not yet been ascertained, to per init her to work her body through. Another woman patient in the same ward saw her and shouted. The nurse entered the room just in time to see Mrs. Bramwell drop, but be- fore the nurse could reach the out side of the building Mrs. Bramwell had disappeared. The hospital off cials are of the opinion that Mrs. Bramwell was in collision with somebody, because she dropped out of sight so quickly. Although no au- tomobile was heard, it is possible she could have been picked up in a machine and driven off.

 The marriage of a daughter Of a Webster bank cashier, 10 Bramwell, supposed member of British nobil ity, was a social event at Oxford. her home town, but led to a number of surprising revelations.

 The second was that Bramwells "best friend" who greeted him at the Wooster station when he arrived from New York had been retained only two days previous to act the part by Miss Buffum. Later the

 After fumbling with the comblna- tion for d moment and failing to work it satisfactorily. the bandit commanded MT. Halliwell to open the vault. The command was ac- companied by a menacing motion with the revolver. Mir. Halliwell then opened the safe and the armed bandit withdrew two money bags. He and his companion departed.
 Detectives could obtain from MT. Halliwell only a vague description of the bandits. Although heavy Christ mas shopping throngs were passing the theater no one reported any un- usual occurrence as visible from the outside.
