querors Of history, Nebuchadnezzar, Caesar
Napoleon and Macbeth, who were prey. TO the
terrors of the prophet and prophecies, the
soothsayer, the seer the witch and the super
natural generally.
Boriska Sbger, prophecies of Hungary,
foretod the Fuehrcrs early death and has
been jailed in consequence. She has been sent
TO one of the most rigorous concentration
camps where she can prophesy no more
The war will end in 1912 with Htler's
death and the collapse of Naziism.
But the belligerent powers will be so ex-
hausted that there will be no victor and no
defeated in the common sense of the word.
Whoever survives it will live TO see a new
So prophesied Boriska at the beginning
of the year.
Just before "foretelling" Hitler's death she
made this prediction;
In 1912 America will enter the war The
Axis will ask for an armistice early in 1912"
On orders from Berlin the other day Bor-
iska Silbiger was arrested Hungary being
under the pressure Of the Nazis could not do
other than execute the orders given by Nazi-
land She is under strict Imprisonment
The prophecies who claimed TO read the
future like an open book is silenced by IIitlers
henchmen. Anyway, the Fuehrer has clamped
down on knowledge of the future The Naz
Government has now prohibited astrologers
fortune -tellers, necromanccrs, and even racing
tipsters.

foresaw her own arrest Probably not, or she

Russia will start certain negotiations
continues the seer, which however, she wilt
suddenly terminate having unexpectedly found
an important ally. A man, whose initial is NJ
will step into the foreground of world political
events
That was one Of Borislta Silbiger's most
striking forecasts, in which she predicted the
appearance of Mr.. Molotoff on the political
stage and also the Russo-German pact, con-
cluded in spite of the negotiations between
Great Britain and Russia.
In December 1889, Europe was at war.
Nevertheless, living in a neutral country, Bor-
iska wrote down her prophecies for the year
1910. Most of the countries in which her fore
casts were published in previous years were
now involved in the hostilities, and her prophe-
cies were only printed in the Americas, Scan
dinavia and Switzerland. But prophecies Bor-
iska was equally accurate about the fateful
year 1910
BY the end of the year 1910" Miss Sill
bigger said, everybody in Europe will be in the
war Italy will Unexpectedly enter upon bold
and daring enterprise, much to her injury.
Great Britain will suffer- But this country
will show powerful united front towards the
world. However she will go into lengthy dis
putes and conflicts with another friendly
country allied with her"
Here Miss Silbiger is supposed to have
forctold the debacle of Italy in the Balkans
and the debace of France; she continued
Great Britain will lose an important ally and
colonial questions will be disputed with her
America will not enter the war in 1910,
and though there will be important changes
in the political life there will be no change in
her entire policy. great gesture will be
made by this country at the end Of the year
1910 but cannot see whether it is of moral
or financial nature"
Miss Snbger is supposed to have meant
the third term of President Roosevelt when re-
ferring to mo change in the entire policy"
and her other reference is 10 the Help

Alexandra 10 Raze
Or Repair 240 Homes
As Substandard
Action to EquoI Number
Of Dwelling Units in
New Housing Project
By Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March IL
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
today 240 dwellings are to be de-
molished or rehabilitated by the city
as substandard, to equal the number
of dwelling units to be included in
the Alexandria Housing Authority's
apartment developments for white
and colored now under construction
here.
The Alexandria housing group has
described the 240 homes affected as
"substandard" under a cooperative
agreement between the Authority
and the City Council
Mr.. BudweSky said more than 200
low standard structures have al
ready been torn down or improved.
The city has refrained from con-
demning occupied homes. the city
manager said, because of the Short
age of housing facilities among low
income residents. Additional units.
however, will be demolished as soon
as they become vacant.
Nearly s1,00O,000 will be spent by
the Housing Authority on the two
low-cost housing developments. Con-
tracts were let last month to the
Martin Bros. Construction Co. of
Washington. Housing officials said
families will not be assigned to new
dwellings for several months. The
two developments are expected to
be completed in November.

In his charge to the jury, Judge
Stedman Prescott congratulated the
county on being what he termed
fairly we'll free" of serious crime,
especially in view of its nearness to
a big city. He cautioned the grand
jurors to observe closely policy of
secrecy on matters before it.
Judge Prescott also told the jury
that the law requires it to visit the
jail to examine conditions there
some time during its term While
the law does not require visits to
other public institutions, the jurist
explained it has been customary for
previous grand juries to visit such
places as the almshouse and the
county buildings at Bethesda and
Silver Spring. This practice keeps
public officials ION their toes" Judge
Prescott said, when they know a
visit possibly will be made by the
jury.
In addition to Judge Prescott.
Judge Charles w. Woodward was on
the bench.
