Your Ruling
Star
BY William Shwader
THE YEAR AHEAD
For Those Born
SEPTEMBER Q

The coming year will bring q
favorable Mercury vibration
which will be auSpicious for all
studies, literature and writing.
It will be well for you to con.
centrate more on the intellectual
side Of life during that period
and avoid all excessive physical
actions and foolish decisions.
The chief dangers to your health
are overwork and absorption
in purely practical matters, lead
ing to a certain skeptical and
unsympathetic attitude of mind
"a kind of dryneSS and barren
ness in life-a total absence of
the spontaneity and Joy which
ought to accompany the exer-
else of the faculties. Take care
of your health from September
10 to IA, January Z to II, March
6 to 8. April 6 to 10. Guard
against accidents. quarrelS, ETC.,
from october II to 10, November
II to %, January II to 16,
March II to 16, April 13 to Is.
Favorable dates from September
8 to 8, March 81 to April 8,
May 4 to 6.
A CHILD born today will be
mentally alert and quick-witted.
Yet he will be inclined to act
hastily and suffer through rash
decisions. His training and en-
vironment can do much toward
stabilizing his faculties and
teaching him the truth Of the
old proverh, Haste makes
waste"

We hear a great deal about
this or that substance killing
germs and being used as an
antiseptic. So we use tincture
of iodine or witch tazel or
bichloride solutions or carbolic
acid and a host Of other
things.
Yet all the while one of the
best antiseptics we have is the
easiest and most readily OBJ
tainable-Soap and water.
Surgeons have said that for
a long time. Most Of them
thought, however, that the &C
ton of soap and water as a
germ remover was mechanical.
Soap Kills Germs
The scrubbing and washing
combined with the action of
the soap in uniting with the
grease and oil so that they
could be readily removed was
what caused the disappearance
of the germs.
Evidence has been brought
forward, however, by the work
of Walker. that the chemicals
of soap itself have the prop
erty Of killing germs, Compar-
ing favorably with many Of
the chemicals "that have been
heralded at least in adver-
tisernents as crowning achieve
ments Of modern chemistry"
All kinds of soaps were tested
and found about equally ef-
fective. White soap, perfumed
toilet soap, laundry soap, CO.
coanut oil and olive oil soap.

The elbow grease used in

MONTANA GOLD MINE
 MAKES N|CE PROFIT

SPOKANE, July l. P)-N. C.. Sheridan, Spokane mining engineer, has returned from the property of the Golden West Mining company. He put a full three shift crew to work to extend the tunnel into the rich gold ore body. Four car loads which have been shipped re- turned more than $1O,OOO net to the owners.
 This property lies 37 miles south west of Libby, Montana, and is owned by a Montana corporation with many Spokane stockholders.
 Before he left the mine he had all the equipment in place and the drills at work. The 85-foot tunnel is drifting on the ore, which runs between 10 and 25 ounces of gold to the ton, he says. The mountain is steep SO that depth is rapidly being gained with an ultimate peak point about 5000 feet above present workings. The company believes it has two Assure veins and 10 others.

Luther Steward, president OF
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees, expressed conf
dence today that sufficient votes
are in sight to defeat the pro-
posal of Representative Will
Wood CR0, Indiana, for a slash
in the salaries Of Government
workers.
Mr.. Stewart has consulted many
members of Congress now in the
Capital and finds little sentiment
for the plan of the chairman of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
A dozen or more Senators and
Representatives already have been
quoted in opposition to the Wood
plan and today Representative
John w. Mccormack (DO, Mas
SachusettS, member of the
House Civil Service Committee
said:
"The Federal Government
should set a high standard
for wages, hours Of work and
retirement funds. Any attempt
to reduce wages will meet with
serious opposition and cannot
be successful. I do not believe
that President Hoover, who has
urged business men to main.
tain high wage levels, will
stand for any cut in the sal
aries of Federal employees"

Charged with assault with a

Boiling is accused of having
slashed Norman Franklin, a

When the case was called today
it was deferred at the request OF
Assistant United States Attorney

planned that Franklin is in a

According to his attorney. John
P. Mullen, Boiling claims he cut
Franklin in self-defenSe, when the
man entered his room and at
tackled him. Boiling, who wears an
artificial leg, said he was lying
on his bed, after having removed
the leg, when Franklin burst in

BROTHERHOODS

PAY CUTS
Legislative Program Readied
For Presentation to New
Congress Next Month

The railway brotherhoods were
completing their 1892 legislative
program today demanding that
Congress take action to stabilize
conditions in their industry.
Meanwhile, they awaited an
answer from railroad operators to
a proposal for a conference be.
tween workers ana railroad execu.
tives to deal with the problems G.
unemployment and reduce wages.
An all day session failed to
bring conclusion of the legislative
program which the workers will
present to Congress in December.
David B. Robertson, chairman Of
the convention and president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, says work will be fin
ished today.
National Pension Plan
Officials indicate the legislative
program will voice a vigorous de-
mand for measures which will pre-
vent unemployment insofar as it
is possible, and provide means Of
caring for the workers when idle.
A national pension plan, based
on contributions of both workers
and employers is under considera.
tion.
Several committees of the work
ers organizations have been busy
for year collecting data on
which plan could be based.
Robertson said no members Of
Congress had been approached re-
garding the pension plan, but
added that the workers would
throw all the power of their or.
ganizations back of the program,
once it was completed and pre-
Sented to Congress.
The workers felt the pension
plan might be made the basis Of q
program, which, if enacted, would
prevent recurrence Of present
conditions.
100000 Are Idle
Robertson claimed 10000 rail-
way workers were idle, 100000 as
a result of the depression and an
additional 250,00O as a result of
mechanical improvements to rail
way equipment.
