Horoscope
For Today

Balance Of week (through
Saturday.: Real rewards are
offered for real service; use
skull on new ideas-some Of
'em must be good. Today: Leap
not at the untried, especially in
the evening. Count losing
tricks before bidding.
BUT SHOULD WE?
We drift along through life,
fancying ourselves secure in the
thought that we can do any
thing anyone else can do if we
only wanted to go to the trouble
to accomplish the same thing.
That is the theory that all of
us are equal in matters of abil-
ity. But is it true? Could you
ever sing like Caruso or Melba?
Could you be another creative
genius Ike Edison. Think Of
the other side, too.
YOUR YEAR AHEAD
Your year ahead brings slow,
sure profit from past matters,
previous contacts and older per.
sons, especially from March 20.
Opportunity also through neigh
borhood, travel, mail. Danger:
January 2-February 8; May l.
June 25; September 22-Novem-
ber IL.
TOMORROW
Hold tongue and pen; don't bet
on all your hopes; work intelli-
gently.

beautffication of home grounds
T.. d. Gray, Extension lands
cape architect and editor of the

stone wall that he built at his

tion of the effectiveness of
such walls as a means of of
identifying and improving the

grounds are of such nature as
to make the use of walls dcSir
able, partly to back up n i $
preaching by example, an d
partly to satisfy a personal de-
sire -.
Dry stone walls have been
more or less of Il hobby for Mr.
Gray for a numpcr of years.
He likes them and recommends
them because they are more
interesting and attractive when
properly constructed than Il
wall of plain concrete or form

fields.
In building his wall which
made possible some back yard
for his home located on the
brink Of steep hillside, Mr..
Gray did the work in odd hours
over week ends and whenever
he could find a little spare time
TO work at it, with the result
that it required three years TO
complete it.. and in the four
years that have elapsed since
the construction work w s
finished he has been collecting
native plants that would grow
in the sides Of the wall from all
