, HOROSCOPE
Thursday, August 81


Until late today adverse as
poets dominate. Mars is in
threatening sway and disquiet-
ing news may be temporarily
discouraging.
Heart and Home: Portents
for 1913 warn of sweeping
changes in the American way
OF life which will break down
many traditions and cause a de-
cided advance toward true de-
mocracy. Puritan standards of
morals will revive after a period
in which liberty and license will
be prevalent in a younger gen.
GRAFTON terribly frustrated by
the horrors of world conflict.
The seers foretell a general
awakening to the spiritual pos
sibilities Of humanity.
Business Affairs: Prosperity
now will seem to increase as
factories perform miracles of
production and money is plenu-
full among wage earners. Vio-
lence will spread in cities where
preoccupation with war de-
mands relaxes police vigilance.
Robberies and fires may be
numerous for evil omens pres
age activity among men unfit
for war service and useless in
civilian life. Caution should
be the watchword in trade and
commerce.
National Issues: Marriages
should be enco aged all
through the duration. Although
mercenary motives may appear
worthy of consideration the
trend toward hasty weddings
should not be criticized, accord
ing TO the seers. Students Of
vital statistics predict, as one
of the postwar social conditions,
greater numbers Of spinisters
than have ever been listed in a
census of the United States.
international Affairs: When
each week extends the world
wide destruction caused by war
the heavy burden borne by this
country will serve as prepare

her words expressed were given
to her by nature.
Helen Hunt became a prolific
writer Of prose and verse, includ-
ing Juvenile tales, books of travel,
and novels. Her poems were loved
in the humblest homes, and re-
spected in the greatest contem-
porary literary figures. When some
one asked Ralph Waldo Emerson
if he did not think of her as the
first American woman poet, he an
swered, Perhaps we might as well
omit the word woman.
In 1876 Mrs. Hunt married Will
liam Sharpless Jackson, a banker
of Colorado Springs. Soon she be-
gan to observe the miserable treat
ment the Indians were receiving
near her new home.
Determined to fight the redmen's
battle, she visited their villages
stayed in their tents, and became
their trusted friend. Having gath
cred first-hand evidence of the
conditions, she went to New York
and isolated herself in library
while studying the background OF
the Indian question.
After three months Of concen-
trated effort she published "A Gen.

raignment of the governmental.

Rescue League
Prepares for

Calls for Sick or
Neglected Animals
Neglected Animals

With the arrival of July, members
of the Washington Animal Rescue
League are preparing for double
duty, according to Mrs. C. Augustus
Simpson, first vice president, VINO
saws the month usually brings the
problem of abandoned pets neg
lected by summer vacationists.
In spite of curtailment OF travel,
reports already have come into
league headquarters at II Q street
NV. of numerous stray dogs ana
cats whose owners have left town
without providing for them.
Contrary to reports that the or
ganization has ceased to make am
bulance calls for sick or neglected
animals. four runs are made weekly,
Mrs. Simpson said. The league Will
even make emergency calls at nlghs
for sick animals, she added. How
ever, due to gas and tire restrictions,
persons are requested to bring in
needy animals whenever possible.
Summer brings added casualties
to pets, Mrs. Simpson pointed out.
as both dogs and cats are likely to
stray from home and run loose In
traffic. Motorists are cautioned to
give particular care to animals In
the streets while driving at this
season, she added.
other suggestions are offered by
the Animal Rescue League as
follows:
Be sure a license tag is obtained
for all dogs so that if lost they may
be traced
| Bring in unwanted kittens before
their eyes are open as 1t Is much
more humane to put them asleep"
at that age than later or to permit
them to roam the streets homeless.
Spread the idea that 1t is cruel to
abandon an animal or leave 1t to
shift for itself when one moves to
another city. j..
Do not merely feed a stray animal
and then turn 1t away. This is a
mistaken kindness, the league points
out, and does not solve the question
of animal care. All persons know
ing of stray animals are urged to
call the league at once.
An appeal to vacationists to pro-
vide for pets during their absence
from the city, was broadcast on a
special program yesterday.
Miss Lucretia Clark is president
of the Washington Animal Rescue
League. Other officers besides Mrs.
Simpson are: Mrs. L. B. Brubaker,
second vice president; Mrs. E. K.
Morris, secretary, and Mrs. j. Damn
