able that much of this will disappear with adjourn ment which is expected to take place in the next few days after passage of most of the Roosevelt program.
 Most of the confusion, it would appear, is not so much in the minds of the people but in the minds ofethose Republican leaders who wonder ing just how they are going to make showing in 1886 When thousands upon thousands of farmers in the Middle West are going off relief rolls due to the activities of the Agricultural Adjustment Act and better market conditions, it is going to be pretty hard for the Grand Old Party cheftains to figure out a farm program that will have much of an appeal As industry ahead under the impetus given it by the PWA, it is something of a task to attack recovery with any hope of winning much support.
 But lest the Republican high command get too jubilant over the Rhode Island election, we pass along these interesting points made to the minority party by the New York World-Telegram:
 That this is your first crumb of political
 comfort since the Hoover sweep of 1928 was
 followed by the business debacle of 1929;
 That except for your bankruptcy of
 leadership, the law of averages would have
 given you a few crumbs in the off-year
 elections of 1884
 That the election in 1895 of op
 positionist Congressman in a New England
 district festered with dead industries does
 not necessarily pretend election of Re-
 publican Congress and a Republican Presi-
 dent in 1886;
 That a rebuke to the New Deal is not
 vote of confidence in a negative alter
 native
 That, when the nation as a whole goes
 to the polls next year the people are not apt
 to exchange something for nothing.

Farmers and Workers.
Cincinnati EnquirerO

From Moscow, at the nerve center of Commun- sm comes the interesting news that American Communists are planning third political party or us to include workers and farmers While there is a certain unpleasantness about having con- yention in the capital of friendly nation plotting the destruction of cherished form of govern- ment the news on the whole must be regarded as amusing, rather than sinister.
 The key to the situation is to be found in the admission of the Reds that the new third party need not be Communist, and indeed need not even be Socialist It must merely weld together the farmers and workers That is all the Communists ask now, although few years ago they would have
 purned any compromise with liberalism.
 The history of American third parties is the history of futile attempts to weld farmers and workers into a political unit. Long before Lenn even before Karl Marx formulated the theoretical structure Of Socialism, determined groups of Am- 'ericans were trying to bring about the union oi industrial workers and agriculturiss. No important third party movement was based on any other principle
 But class consciousness just will not make itself felt in America One after another, the Farmer Labor parties collapsed. The boys who are in a huddle in Moscow just as unrealistc as their American spiritual ancestors of the Knights ot Labor Their failure in these States seems cer- tain to be just as dismal.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1885

Contending planetary aspects of good and ill are seen in the horo- scope for today. Caution should rule, especially among aviators. All who sail the seas should be fortunate today when there will be much travel from European ports. The navy also should benefit.
 As women are lucky today they should devote their time to inten- sive work on whatever they con- slider most important. All who are in the artistic professions should profit in the coming autumn when actresses, musicians and painters will be under good direction.
 This is lucky day for engage ment5 to marry. Those who plight troth under this sway should expect fair fortunes and harmonious mar riages.
 Marriage is to become more and more of a business as well as a love partnership ,astrologers foretell, but this will diminish rather than in crease the trend toward divorce.
 London astrologers now draw lines of similarity between Japan today and Germany in 1914. They read in the horoscope of the young em- peror ultimate disaster to his dyn- asty and even personal danger to himself.
 New groupings of world powers are indicated by the stars; they seem to foreshadow strange and sur prising alliances.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of much pleas ure and gain through speculation Contacts with persons in high po- sitions is foreseen for many.
 Child born on this day prob ably vii lbe exact in mind and care ful regarding details Subjects of this sign work hard for success but also play in unusual luck.
 Valentine Mott, surgeon, was born on this day l785. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Samuel L. Mitchell, American phy- sician and scientist, 1764; Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third President oi the United States.

NEW RECORD
ON FEL0N|ES
627 Cases Are Closed
In july Setting a
New High Mark

Washington's Metropolitan Po-
lice Department wrote "closed"

lishment of the police statistical
bureau in 1881.
Figures compiled by the bureau
reveal that during the month
there were 694 felonies reported in
the District. During the same
time, 627 felony cases were closed.
The ratio of cases closed to cases
reported was 90.3 per cent-also
new record, according to the
bureau.
Records for the past five years
show that the department has
closed 300, 400 and sometimes
500 cases month, but never be-
fore so many in July.
At the same time, the number
of cases reported showed a de-
cline from the average, which is
we'll above 700. Commenting on
these figures, Major Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of the de-
partment said:
THAT'S a very good record,
and shows that while our men
were paying special attention
to traffic viOlatOrS, at least
during the last half of the
month, under orders from head
quarters, they we're not neg
