In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Jan. 6-Why venture some amateur guesses about 1897 when the infant year already has had its horoscope read by Helene Paul, the fair-haired astrologist who often is taken for Ina Claire?
 The star-gazing Helene has giv- en your correspondent a private glimpse into the constellar outlook for this year of grace and offers these planetary observations:
 This is going to be a great year for love, if Jupiter. Capricorn, Sa- turn, Uranus and Neptune have anything to do about 1t. And this is going to be & great year, the horoscope says, for those with hopes of consummating that impulse to marry and set up a home"
 Fisherman's luck will depend up- on the position of the moon. Those born under lunar auspices may look forward to mighty hauls. But here's sad note for fishermen born un- der the sign of Pisces. Their better natures will do them no good dur ing the current fiscal year. For those born under this sign, the prophetic Helene tells us, "are es- pecially kind to dumb animals and are apt to let the poor fish go back into the water in a moment of ex- cessive sympathy"
 Fashion Outlook
 The horoscope also has a message for milady. (Take it away, Helene.) There will be nothing severe and boyish about women's clothes in 1887. January will bring elaboration in footwear. February will inau- gurate hats that will be elaborate and expensive. March. April, May and June will concentrate on the elaboration of neckwear-as well as millinery. July and August will give much attention to the sleeves and that part of garments above the waistline." And you can expect the use of much embroidery and many exquisite color combinations.
 And, ah, indeed, the fair-haired Helene has not forgotten to con- suit her twinkling prophets about "Wally." Mrs. Simpsons horoscope confronts us as follows: January is to be a lighting month" for her, what with the many depressing, confused, deceptive conditions that surround her. In February, some important individuals will come to her rescue. And in March her posi- ton will become secure. On April, she is destined to lose some import ant friends and there is to be an unpleasant development involving the ex-king. In May, the nervous tension may affect her health but the stars indicate that a handsome gift will be given her. June will be one of the most turbulent times in her entire career and if she mar ries during this month, temporary unhappiness may be her lot, for the stars aren't friendly to this period in the life of the Duke of Windsor either.

The East player regretted his

that South held two diamonds, the
most West could have held was
three, so that all South had to do
was to duck one round of diamonds

able diet for high blood pressure.)
Diet Made Life Miserable
At one time it was customary in
high blood pressure to give a salt
free, low-protein diet. All this did
was to make the patients life mis-
cradle. Vihjalmur Stefansson has
shown that one can subsist on an
exclusive meat diet for year with
out any elevation of blood pressure.
Physicians are generally agreed
that quantity is more important
than quality in food, especially II
the patient is overweight, as is SO
commonly the case. Moderation IS
the most important thing to- teach
the patient with high blood pres
sure. Moderation in the use Of To-
bacco should always be advised
and if the patient has any heart
pain, tobacco should be stopped al
together. The bowels need atten-
ton, and it may be necessary to-
use mineral oil or in constipated
people, weekly dose Of castor oil.
Exposure to the hot sun should be
avoided. Exercise within reason
able limits is permissible. What
within reasonable limits means is
not so easy to define. Wading in, a
swift stream to catch trout or
salmon involves physical and emo
tional strain. A prolonged golf
game in the hot sun is also too
much for the high blood PRESSURE
patient.
NATURALIZATION is here, as else
where. the most important feature,
and a gradual and sensible rear
rangement of the patients habits;
after they have been carefully.
studied, is the only treatment that
can be considered scientific for high
blood pressure today.

SCHOOL MACHINERY
ACT AGREED upon
House and Senate Compose
Differences Preparatory
to Adjournment
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir WALTER Hotel.

Raleigh, March 22-The House and
Senate are at last in complete agree
ment on the school machinery act and
it will become law as soon as 1t can
be engrossed and ratified. But this
agreement was not reached by the con
ference committee until late Saturday
afternoon, the House remaining in
session until almost o'clock waiting
for the conference committee to agree
and make its report.
The House finally agreed to all of
the Senate amendments, with a few
minor changes. 1t at first objected
to the amendments providing for the
creation of an executive committee
composed Of the lieutenant governor,
the State superintendent of public in
struction, the State treasurer and
three other members of the State
School Commission, to act for the
commission when it is not in session,
but eventually agreed to this charge,
since it was recommended by Cover
nor, Hoey. The house also at first OBJ
jected to the Senate amendment
which related to the routing of buses
and made the routes as set up by the
commission subject to the approval of
the county boards. The Senate reced-
ed from this amendment and agreed
to accept the change proposed by the
House committee providing for the
routing OF the buses by the school com
mission, but with the provision under
which the county boards may appeal
to the executive committee of the
school commission if they are not sat
isfied with the bus routes as set out
by the commission. A provision was
also agreed to requiring the school
commission to fix bus routes and
make them public 30 days before
school opens in all the counties.
A strong effort was made in the
House to remove the amendment add
ed by the Senate to Section II, prohi-
biting supplementary tax elections ex-
cept in county or city administrative
districts AS passed by the House, Sec
ton IA would have permitted any
school district with a population of L.
600 or more school children, to be-
come a special tax district and levy
supplemental taxes for ninth month
a twelfth grade or to increase teach
ers salaries. But the Senate confer
ence committee refused to recede
from this amendment.

or governor either in 1910 or 1914.
Since the candidate for governor in
$40 is due to come from the east.
either Ward or Bryant might run. Al
.hough Ward would probably be in a
stronger position due to the fact that
he comes from a far-eaStern county.
Durham county, however, is also re-
yarded as being in the east, for poll
ical purposes. Those who observed
Bryant and Ward in action during the
asst two sessions of the General AS
sembly agree that rarely has there
been two young men who have shown
such profound knowledge of the bus
ness of State government and as
much executive ability and real lead
ership in any legislative sessions as
these two. It is agreed that Bryant
las performed a very difficult job as
chairman of the powerful House FL
rance Committee this session, and has
lone it creditably, just as he handled
he job as chairman of the House APP
preparations Committee so ably in
1885. 1t is also agreed that Ward has
done fine job as chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee this
session, is in line for the chairman
ship of the House Finance Committee
in the 1929 session, while Bryant is
regarded as the leading contender for
speaker of the 1889 house-all fine ap-
premiership jobs for the governorship.
There is also considerable talk about
possible candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor in 1910, with one already an
nounced. This one is Representative
R. E. Sentelle, of Brunswick county,
a native of Haywood, at present a
lawyer but also an ordained Baptist
minister and for years a county sup
erintendent of schools. There are in
timations that Senator Lee L. Gravely,
of Rocky Mount, may be a candidate
for lieutenant governor. He. almost
decided to be candidate in the 1886
primaries, but for some reason did
not. Grayely, regarded as one of the
most able members of the present
Senate and of the 1885 Senate, is al
ready conceded to have a large fol-
lowing in almost every section of the
State and the record he has made in
this session is regarded as having
greatly increased the following. OBJ
servers agree that he would be Wig
orous campaigner and dangerous
contender for the nomination and his
friends are hoping he will decide to
run. Some talk is also going the

Messrs. Stuckey & Stuckey, as the

daughter Jacqueline, that the lat~
ter had beer bequeathed by hey
deceased uncle, Mr.. Alan Redfern,
the whole of his residual estate,
amounting to some $1,5OO,OOO.
Lutman read and re-read t,tS

at the moment in what way the
facts disclosed could be of any pos
sible interest to him; but~one Of
his most abiding principles was
that money in the possession of
other people was always absorbing
interest to man of his own sybar-
itic needs. He never heard or read
stories of the accession of sudden
wealth without his ingeniously fer
tile brain being set to work over
time on evolving schemes whereby
the transference of that wealth to
his own banking account could be
effected with the minimum of risk
to himself. That such schemes
rarely attained to fruition was no
deterrent to Colonel Lutman; he
continued to indulge his habit Of
evolving them.
He sat for some minutes in con-
centrated thought, the cablegram
dangling loosely from his fingers.
