Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not c0mper'
THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1937

IHORSDA4, MAY Z0, 1857 According to astrology this is an Iunfavorable direction for men. The stars seem to encourage the discov- cry of what is least admirable in human character.
 Scandals now will touch persons of high and low estate. Many books Twill be published which reveal ob- Ijectionable passages in careers that have been held in public esteem.
 uncertainty again may reveal initiative and enterprise. Business men may lose big opportunities at this time because they lack courage to risk capital
 Women should benefit under this planetary government, for it gives them authority over their own af- fairs and aids them in sustaining men who need their help.
 The seers explain that while there will be a growing hostility to- wards women in public life they will perform valiant service in na- tional affairs.
 It has long been prophesied that the wives and mothers of the Unit ed States would lead in peace move ments which will gain momentum that cannot be ignored. This is lucky day in minor ways for the navy and for all who are interested in ships. There is a promising sign for exports. Girls probably will discover that romance flourishes under this rule of the planets. Because of war per- ills that threaten, the usual in crease in love interest may be ex- pected.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of some con- fusion due to unlocked for domestic conditions. They have promise of success through their own hard work
 Children born On this day prob ably will be inclined toward moodi- ness and self-analysis. Subjects of ithis sign may be very sensitive, but many succeed along independ- ent lines. They like to work alone.
 Mrs. Alexander Blackwell, author and reformer, was born on this day 1925. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include William George Fargo, founder of an ex- press service, 1913; Sedgwick Pratt, U. s. Army general, 1845.

TAXPLAN
BY A, !, DRISCOLL

Vigorous opposition was reg
istered by the Federation Of Bust
ness Mems Association last night
to tax measures introduced by
Representative Ross Collins to add
levieS doubling the amount neces-
sary to meet 1888 requirements.
A resolution by j. Nelson Ander-
son called Congress attention to
the substantive law that the Gov
eminent shall make 40 per cent
contribution toward maintaining
the District, but which Congress
has ignored for the past several
years by substituting a lump sum
appropriation below that provided
by law.
In another resolution, the as
ISOLATION opposed placing the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial at the
Tidaa Basin because of resultant
destruction of the cherry trees.

rected to draft a letter to Repre-
sentative William T. Schultz COM
mending his efforts on behalf OF
an investigation of certain
branches of the District Govern
ment, especially the Public Utl-
tiles Commission.
The association opposed any di-
version of funds obtained from the
gasoline tax for other than high
way purposes, and urged retention
of the IS per cent reduction in
water rates. The Connecticut Ave
nue. Association, represented by
the following delegates, was ad-
mitted to membership: B. Hous-
ton McCeney, Max Tender,
Charles A. Camalier, Harry Kron-
heimer and Philip Miller.
Auto Tax Rise Opposed
George E. Keneipp, manager OF
the Keystone Automobile Club, op-
posed any increase in motor
vehicle taxes, or the use OF such
funds for other than highway pur-
poses. EnViSioning the time when
all streets will be one way, with
center parkings eliminated, he de-
clared many Of the $1,000 deaths
from automobile accidents last
year were due to cars colliding
while passing at so miles an hour.
