The chart Of President Roosevelt
hangs in the Convention Hall-an
open book-so all can see; but the
charts of all the others are not yet re-
leased for publication. At present they
are only for private survey. Yet, one
general inkling may be given here:
Three of ths four foreigners were born
under the sign Of Scorpio, or have the
scorpion blood in their veins; and that
means they can sting like serpents.
President Roosevelt,s chart comes
out rather complimentarily-and the
only belligerent factor about him Is
that "he's a big Navy man."
Born under the sign Of Taurus, the

And the impulses, be it noted, are
focused on "the five great men of

Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, Stain,

What these five men do in the next
five years will undoubtedly plunge the
world deep into the Aquarian period.

Also Mercury has a lot to do with

PROBE CONDITIONS

Inquiry Is Ordered After
House Bill Seeks 5.Day,
40-H0ur Week.

An investigation of working condi-
tions of guards and other employees in
District penal institutions was in

committee of the House District Com
mittee.
Chairman Nichols ordered the in
quiry at hearing on a bill introduced
by Representative Dunn, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania providing for the estab-

The measure also would increase the
salary Of all those receiving less than
$4,000 year by IS per cent.
Ray L. Huff, general superintendent
Of District penal institutions, will be
called before the subcommittee Tues
day to furnish the information it
wants.
During the hearing Thomas M
Rives, superintendent of the District
Jail, told the subcommittee that
guards at the institution are now
working eight hours day seven days
a week. He also pointed out that
many Of them who have been in the
service for years are still working
at the $500 a year minimum salary
because Congress has failed to ap-
propriate funds for step-ups.
Mr.. Rives said he considered A hour:
a week an ideal work week for jai
guards and explained IL additional EN-.
ployes would be needed to put that
plan into effect at the Jail.
Representative Dunn described
working conditions of the guards az

BENEFITS FACE
TEN-YEAR TERMS
Man and Wife Held Guilty,
Pinas Cleared in Case
of Stolen JeWeIry.

James Bennett and his pretty red
haired wife. Eula Mae, today face the
possibility of 2-to-10-year prison terms
following the verdict of a District
Court jury last evening that they were
guilty of transporting more than
$4,000 worth of stolen jewelry from
New York to Washington.
The third defendant, David Pinas,
who was arrested about two months
ago In Florida by G-men, was found
not guilty.
The jury deliberated only two
hours before reporting its verdict to
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue about
6 pm. Justice O'Donoghue overruled
motions for release of the Bennetts
on bail pending appeal and ordered
them committed to jail
Mrs Bennett was arrested in Octo-
Der, 1885, when police seized jewelry
valued at between $4,000 and $50 900.
Only five pieces of the jewelry have
been identified as stolen. These were
valued by the Government at $500
and were the subject matter of the
charge against the Bennetts and
Pinas.
Bennett was arrested about a wear
and half ago in New York City and
brought here.
The trial began a week ago last
Monday. The prosecutors were
United States Attorneys Charles B.
Murray and William Hitz Pinas was
represented by Attorney William E
Leahy.
Throughout the trial the value of
the allegedly stolen jewelry was the
principal issue, since the Fedora
statute under which the three were
indicted covers the transportation of
stolen articles only if they exceed
$4,000 in value.
Defense experts appraised the
jewels variously at $500 and $4,000,
but a Government appraiser told the
jury the jewelry was worth s6.7Oo.
None of the defendants took the
witness stand.
The Bennetts probably will be SEN
fenced next week.

Physicians in Group Health Associa-
ton were praised by DR.. Cabot as
risking their entire future.
The organized medical profession,
he charged, was getting away from
the "old-fashioned' ideal of service"
to the community, in which 1t orig
inally was an outgtrowth of religion.
When it breaks the bond that ties
1t to religion and the spirit, the medical
profession ceases to be a profession,
he declared, "and becomes a trade and
should be SO treated" The American

Group medical practice, DR.. Cabot
said, was merely an effective means of
combining several experts to produce
better product of medical care at a
lower cost, and the American people
had right to it.

Officials called to the session include
members of the Executive Committee

bers of the Resolutions Committee of
the Citizens Conference on District
Suffrage. The meeting will start at

Outstanding among the points in a
future program will be ways and
means of presenting to Congress the
results of the Saturday plebiscite,
which rolled up a tremendous ma

sentation and local government for

ever, that no man-even If he charted
the stock market by astrology or other
wise-could make money at 1t.
Main problem before the convention
is a method for chasing fortune tellers,
takers, chiselers and dollar -chasers
out of the business. This was brought
out in the opening session, presided
over by Ernest A. Grant, president of
the Washington chapter, and by A. M
Ziegler of Miami, president of the
federation.
With an attendance Of 500 astrolo-
gers, the convention will be in session
until next Monday, when it is hoped
that Lowell Thomas will accept chal-
lenge to debate. The challenge was
sent him yesterday. The radio COM
mentator, it seems, holds derogatory
views c,out astrology and astrologists.

Increase in Brain Injuries
In d. C.. Since 1900 Reported
DR.. SchOenfeld Tells Medical Society
Ratio of Violent Death From Skull
Fractures Is Rising.

Brain injuries-17 out Of every 100
OF which end in death-have been
on the increase in the District of
Columbia since 1900. DR.. Herbert H.
Schoenfeld, prominent brain surgeon,
told the Medical Society Of the Dis
trict of Columbia at its annual scien-
tific assembly today.
The death rate from skull fractures
now az per cent Of the total-not
only is rising in respect to the death
rate in general. but also In respect to
all deaths from violence, so that the
increase can be attributed to no one
cause, such as the automobile. There
were 1874 such deaths in the District
last year.
1t so happened that 113 Of them
were due to injuries received in traffic
The others were due to falls in the
home, murders and suicides. A skull
fracture, DR.. Schoenfeld pointed out,
may cause an unbearable shock to
the system or may result in some
injury to the underlying brain tissue
which may not become manifest fol-
some years. Often the only imme
diate symptom, he stressed, is a

til there is some emergency. Smoking
usually aggravates such a condition.
There is no general formula fol
treatment of rheumatic arthritis, but
each case must be dealt with individ-
ually. according to a paper presented
by DR.. Walter K. Myers. Many sup
posed cases of arthritis, he said, are
really falsely diagnosed and many OF
the reported cures" are not cures al
all. but merely represent natural recov.
cries from some other malady which
would have come about anyway.
Occasionally. he said, patients have
their teeth pulled unnecessarily. This
has impaired the general physical con-
dition and it has developed later that
teeth did not constitute foci of infec-
ton at all.
A new vaccine treatment for stom-
ach ulcers was described by DR.. Roy
Upham of New York, one of the coun-
try's leading stomach specialists. It
long has been suspected, DR.. Upham
said, that the original cause Of intes-

which enters through the mouth or

riably is preceded by q cold or influ-
