LIBRA men are ambitious, and
in youth have to make their own
waysin the world. Make splendid
stock brokers and financiers; en-
thusiastic, and reverses produce no
effect; quick at recovering lost
ground. They are fascinating,
and always on the qui vive for
new objects of attraction. Re-
verse are the Libra women, who
are careless about money matters,
and dislike the financial part of
any transaction. Libra people
have a keen sense of justice.
They are liberal to fault, and
will give away more than half
they possess and never expect any
return. The women are very sem
sitive to harmony and inharmony,
and can tell the moment they en-
ter a house the conditions prevail
ing therein. Are very kind and
averse to cruelty. Are neat.
When angry, which is seldom, they
leave nothing unsaid. One born
under Libra should never unite
with one born between February
10 and March Fl (Pisces) or Aug
ust % and September % (Virgo) !;
unite with those born November
% and December FL (Sagittarius),
January 20 and February 10
(Aquarius), March 21-April 10
(Aries). The OPAL will bring all
Libra wealth.

Doings Around The
Golf Links
(By GRAvY)

The esteemed president of the
golf club has had his thinking cap
on for the past couple of weeks
trying to dope out whom he will
appoint as captain of each team.
Many suggestions have been Of
fered,. but, my gentle gazelle, you
never had any dealings with our
esteemed president unless it was
to buy stamp or maybe mail a
package, You. see he always has
to remove that cigar before he
can think plain and in the mean
time Old Bye or maybe Milton
Sawyer has sold you the stamp
and Pious Bill is still shuffling his
stamps. Of course he doesn't act
that way to all people. some he
likes to detain for questioning
about how the bridges are pro-
crossing or how is his uncle's bald
head doing. However, he has
promised to make the selection
before the last of the week and
so the regular dinner match will
be held next week, providing our
genial Postmaster plays which is
providing we have a "n0rther"
which depends upon the weather
man who in turn depends upon
the golf club president who in
turn depends upon. oh, where is
this leading US to?

Horse back riding and fencing
classes have taken a prominent
place in the extra-curricula activi-
ties for the year. The riding class,
which consists of eight lessons a
quarter, has, to date, an enroll
ment of forty members. Interest
in fencing has increased to such
an extent that the class has been
divided into two sections. This
sport, popular in many colleges,
has been among the extra-curri-

 The present year, curiousIy enough, opened on c note of peace. King Victor Emanuel had just ftnished his visit to Italian Gomaliland and Rome was prepaf- ing to receive Premier Pierre La- vai when the New Year opened.
 A united front was reportedIy achieved at Etresa in converse tons among Italy, Great Britain and France.

 Italy's Protest Strong
 But even before this the first bombshell of the year exploded on the morning of Jan. % at Afdub, south of the famed Wal Wal wells. When the smoke had lifted, the Italians counted five dubets dead and six wounded. Mussolini rushed orders to indon- itable Count Cinci, recently Italian minister at Adds Ababa, and per- haps the strongest Italian protest ever worded was lodged.
 Meanwhile the government in- creased the military fever of the nation with speeches, communi- ques and parades. :. The call to colors was sounded The first two divisions were mo- bilized early in February: the Pelo- ritana and the Gaviana.

 To the din of thousands of fac- tory whistles, drums and church bells Italy was called out for a test mobilization on Oct. 2. Mussolini termed the test the greatest mos bilization in history" in speech he delivered from Venezia Palace.
 A curt war communique, the first of a long series, was issued by the Ministry of Press and Propaganda on oct. 3 announcing that the Italian campaign in Eritrea had commenced. On Oct. 6 Marshal Emilio De Bono's soldiers captured Adowa.
 Europe's nerves started jumping. Great Britain concentrated In September more than 100000 tons of warships in the Mediterranean. Italy termed the presence of these warships as an "unjuBtified and provocative" measure.
 Mussolini ordered three army divisions to Lybia. He has since withdrawn one in an endeavor to lessen the tension. Italy expected England to reduce her fleet. The warships however, still are plying the Mediterranean.
 Antl-British Feeling Rises
 No sooner had news reached Rome in late September that Gc- neya had declared Italy guilty of violating the Covenant and agreed to vote economic and financial sanctions, than the anti British feeling sn the country swelled to unusual proportions. A campaign to boycott the products of all sanc- tionist nations but chiefly those of Great Britain, was inaugurated. All Italians were told to eat, dress and think Italian.
 On the Kings birthday, Nov. II, Mussolini reviewed 36,000 soldiers on his favorite avenue-Via dell'- Impero. When 60,000 Italians staged e demonstration of sym. pathy at noon before his office, Il Duce adressed them briefly.
