MY NEW 1912 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY

School Girl am now living
away from home with my aunt and
uncle attending college. l work at
night and l am not able to keep up
with my studies. In fact, 1 don't
get enough sleep as l am sleepy
most of the time. My aunt acts like
she doesn't want me to go any
place and the boys and girls at
college don't seem to be as friend
ly as the boys and girls l have
known back home. l feel as though
l would like to go back home and
go to school even though am
poor. What shall l do?
Ans: Did you come to college
to get an education or a good time?
Only the very rich can have both.
Be thankful that you get as much
sleep as you do you would GER
tainly get less sleep if your aunt
let you CAD about like you want to
do. No, my dear girl, it's your
aunt who is making the sacrifices
in this case, not you. Here you
have a golden opportunity to prove
to the world that you can make
good and you're falling down
on the job. Your future is in your
own hands stick it out and BE
SOMEBODY, or quit and go back
home and BE NOBODY. I'd be
ashamed to call myself a gutter.
D. CT have been having
little trouble and l went to a GER
tain woman who said she could
help me out of this adverse condi-
ton. We made a deal and she
charged me S79. Have already paid
fifty-eight dollars. Will l get the
desired results from this deal?
Ans: A man of your intelligence
should have better sense than to
deal with cheap petty fortune tell
ers. Your money is gone down
a knot hole, but let it be a lesson
to you and to other good readers
not to pay out such sums of money
to takers who claim they can ac-
cOmplish miracles that God alone
has the power to fulfill.
P. K. Ii went to. certain
town on a blind deal. After 1 got
there got job and went to work.
1 met some people and they car
ried me to a house and doped me
with wine and beer and some other
man took me and used me and
made light of me and cursed me
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-01-09

and they took my slip and a pair
of my step-ins and ear hobs. Since
then have had one spell after an
other and came back home. Tell
me who can get me out of my
misery?
Ans: Such a nightmarish ex-
perience is enough to make anyone
have a spell. Naturally your nerves
are on edge and l assure you q.
you do need a doctors care. Then
find a job in your home town
and make every effort to forget
this frightful experience you have
been through. Under the care and
attention of your doctor, you will
soon be your old self again.
C. CT am just eating my heart
out trying to do what is right. This
is the problem: l was going with a
man for II years and 1 met an
other man and was acquainted with
him just five months and married
him. l want to know if / did the
wrong thing by not marrying the
man that l had been knowing IL
years? / sometimes think that l
did wrong.
Ans: Not at all. But you are
doing the wrong thing by not for
getting him entirely. Your present
mate is a good man and you can
consider yourself lucky in winning
him for a husband. Your boy
friend of IL years wasn't any too
anxious to marry you or you and
he would have been man and wife
long ago. Don't kid yourself by
letting him interfere in your pres
ent happiness.
R. CT just must write you.
There are problems 1 can't con-
clude only with your help. Our
Christmas Club starts January 5
for 1912. We are puzzled as to
where to deposit our money for the
year. The government is talking
of taking a percentage of every
ones earnings. Should we deposit
in Post Office, bank, or disband?
Ans: AS one good American to
another, / earnestly advise you to
invest in Defense Stamps this year.
When you accumulate enough
stamps buy a GOVERNMENT
BOND. If you do this you will be
doing your patriotic duty as a good
citizen helping Uncle Sam to
win the war and at the same time
you will be putting your money in
the safest investment in the world.

Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
Well, New Years Eve was cele-
brated in the same old gay style
round town. A number of people
gave small house parties, but the
big event of the evening was the
dance given by the Credjafawn's
Social Club at the swank St. Paul
Auditorium in St. Paul. l mean
there was really a gay crowd there
and, of course, as at every New
Years party, there were a "few"
of the folks present who had been
"conferencing" with the bar too
much. One of these confer
encers" "a big business man about
town. made quite a silly picture up
in front of the orchestra pit COW
cred with confetti, blowing a tin
horn, and trying to direct the or
chestra (which was playing entire

the same time. Well, it was New

1 guess the dance was enjoyed by
all.
Paradoxical as it may seem, this
New Years was about the gayest
folks have ever seen round here,
despite the war. The mite spots
were crowded and everyone seemed
to be laughing a little louder, jib-
ing a little more than usual and,
perhaps, imbibing a trife too much,
probably trying to forget there's a
draft or a war.

Bill Thomas, the 35-year- vet
eran Sunday won his seventh
straight victory for the Hollywood
Stars. may be voted the most val
liable addition to his new team
but when he was with the San Di-
ego Padres he was far from yalu-
able.
Eight times Thomas went to the
mound for Cedric bursts Padres
and eight times wept down in
ignominious defeat.
But it probably wasn't the losses
that caused burst to get rid of
Thomas SO much as his uncontroll-
able temper. 1t was not rare to see
the elderly" Thomas, whom one
writer describes as having a face
bearing a striking resemblance to
Santa Clara prune, storm and rant
when burst was forced-to remove
him from the game. On one parti-
cularly bad afternoon after the
rigth- handler had given up a num-
ber of bingles, the game had to be
delayed for several minutes while
burst tried to reason with him and
explain why it was necessary to
take him out.
Thomas finally came to the side
lines but was not in good mood.
The story goes that he picked up
a bat and proceeded into the club
house. Soon came a din and thun-
der from the dressing room that

FOUND IN CORNERS
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, Aug. II. UP) -
Only the most careful scrutiny
will disclose the few words devoted
to Alya william Ghe count Jaw
cry in baseball's record books to-
day. But this 24-year-old New
Englander has become the nation
al leagues outstanding mounds
man in the short span of two
weeks.
For the first two years that
JaYery graced the roster of the
Boston Braves, his height-6 feet
3 inches-was the only detail that
gained him eny distinction, for
he won only two games in 1910
and 10 last year. His minor league
mark was even less impressive
since he won only IL in two sea-
sons.
Mediocrity on the mound for as
long as that, especially when it
continued for the better part OF
this season, ticketed him for a
quick trip to the minors. But
somewhere, somehow, the Count
found out how to make his pitches
count and he's become the tough
est pitcher to score on in the
senior circuit.
JaYery registered a one-hit, 20
victory over the Dodgers yester-
day in the first game of a double
header, cut to seven innings by
weather, for his 10th triumph and
fifth shutout of the year. He was
now chalked up three shutouts in
his last four starts, permitting only
one run in SO innings and none
in his last 10.
In the four starts, his control
has been sharp enough to thread
q needle. In two of those contests
he gave up no walks at all, in one
he passed five and in the other,
onlys two. He's famed eight and
allowed only % hits in that time.
The Braves scored their runs off
Kirby Higbe, tallying in the first
inning on Clyde Kluttz' infield out
after Tommy Holmes single, a walk
and a sacrifice, and in the second
when Holmes single followed Sib
by Sisti's triple.

made Doolittle's bombing oil TOKYO
sound like ladyfinger fire crackers
ON the Fourth of July. Thomas
battered in every locker he could
find, undoubtedly wishing 1t was
his manager who had jerked him
from the mound or one of the play
ers who had collected long hit
off him.
Not a flicker of surprise came
over the faces of the San Diego
ball players as they heard the COM
motion nor did burst in any way
take notice of the incident. Never
the less, Thomas salary probably
took cut that payday for his des-
truction and INSTRUMENTATION.
Acts like that once in awhile
serve to let off steam for ball play
ers, especially pitchers finding
themselves under constant nervous
strain. But too many of such hap
penings give q player a bad name
and cause both his own teammates
and others to think of him as a
trouble-maker.
Thomas may be able to restrain
himself now that he has found his
pitching effectiveness and is at a
place where he is evidently we'll
liked but should he slip off the
beam with his slants he may again
find himself on the road to an
other club.

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE E

If the war department does per-
NIT title fight, the financial angle
will be extremely interesting. Will
|. it be on a strictly relief basis, with
neither principal receiving any cut
of the gate? Or will Louis be per-
mitted to get the $4,000 he needs
for back taxes?
Champion Joe donated both
purses of his last two fights
Buddy Baer and Abe Simon to
service relief His handlers said Joe
was glad to make these donations
because he had been assured by q
certain high Army official that he
would be permitted to make a tax
fight later.
In Louis last title defense, he
knocked out Giant Simon in the
sixth round at Madison Square
Garden, March 81. Joe Already was
in the Army then, having been in

Louis and Conn, who had given the

summer. But Conn broke his left

was most unfortunate. The reams
of questionable publicity received
by Private Conn cooled off Army
officials on the fight, and when
Jacobs proposed Bob Pastor as q
substitute for Billy-th-Kid against
Louis, he was given the icy shoulder

worse, Pastor was held to a 10

NEW YORK, Aug. II = (UP) -
Unless the war department grants
permission this week for Corp. Joe
Louis to defend his crown against
Privates Billy Conn or Melio Bet
tina, lingering hopes of staging a
big outdoor heavyweight title show
for service relief this summer will
be abandoned.
Promoter Mike Jacobs has almost
given up on the proposition already.
Contacted at his home in Red
Bank, NJ, last night, Jacobs said :
II haven't heard a word from the
war department, and I don't know
whether it even considers letting
Louis fight again. It's getting pretty
late to put it across outdoors"
He added hurriedly:
of course it could always be
held indoors"
NEED SIN WEEKS
Jacobs emphasized that it re-
quires about six weeks to stage an
outdoor heavyweight title fight
properly because Cd in fairness to
the boxers, they should be given
six weeks to train, and 90 to as
sure the financial success of a show
that must attract fans from all
parts of the nation, six weeks of
ballyhoo are needed.
However," he said, with Louis
meeting Conn or Bettina, the bout
might be put on in shorter time
say three weeks-becauSe the three
boys already are in good shape from
Army training, and because the
publicity campaign could be un-
usually intense due to the relief
angles"
But something definite must be
done this week, Uncle Mike admit
ted, if the bout is to be staged be-
fore the World Series, which opens
the first week of October. To Sche-
dule the brawl after the series
would be taking a gamble with the
weather And now, at least. no one
knows for sure whether the major
league advisory council will extend
the series beyond it's normal four
f-seven-game basis
COMPLETE TRAINING
Meanwhile Louis is completing
his basic training at Fort Riley,
Kan, working with cavalry horses
instead of punching bags. Conn is
training at Fort Wadsworth, NY,
and southpaw Bettina at Camp Up
ton, NY.
