HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel
SATURDAY, MARCH 7


Mingled good and i'll betide over
this configuration. The early hours
are fortunate for persons in author
lily. Later, adverse aspects appear
to dominate strongly.
HEART AND HOME. This is an
unfortunate day for women who
may be restless and dissatisfied UNI
der wartime restrictions. There is
sign encouraging deception and
indirection in small household af-
fairs. Girls may be exceedingly
temperamental and tickle. The
stars are believed to encourage ro-
nance, but Inconsistency is indicat-
ed. Disturbing news may be eX-
pected regarding young men in dis
tant lands, but facts will be re-
assuring. Letters written under this
rule of the stars may be misleading.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS. The world
monetary system as it undergoes
necessary changes will result in
many commercial dislocations.
Through this year there will be
prosperity in which the minority
meets difficulties while the major
ity enjoys good wages. Warning is
given that while national debts pile
up individuals with steady incomes
will be tempted into extravagances
that win hasten initiation. Rising
taxes will encourage certain de-
!. ee Of reeklessness that emphasizes
the present as all-important Since
the future is threatening
NATIONAL ISSUES: AS war
proceeds and taxes rise there viii
be widening circle of questioning
regarding Anglo American relations
when peace has been attained. Will
the generous, self-sacrificing part in
the second world conflict earn for
the United States proper place SIS
leading power or will the British
Empire dominate among the vic
torious democracies? According to
the reading of the stars it is not
too early to receive British assur-
ances duly recorded which will
make possible peace plan in
which justice for all, great and
small, will rule.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Astrologers place great significance
on the fact that the planets Sat-
urn and Uranus enter Gemini in
May. Uranus, planet of freedom,
gives hope that the battle of DEM
ocracy will gain in strength and
sustains faith in ultimate victory
for the Allies. Saturn is read as
warning that success will be gained
by immense effort and that it will
bring grave responsibilities. This
year of 1912 is seen as marking the
real beginning of war Of world
liberation.
| Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of unusual
experience in which there will be
gains from novel sources. Improyi-
dence and extravaganza should be
avoided with determination.
Children born on this day will
be clever and magnetic, able to win
high positions and wide fame, but
they must be cautious about as
sociates, social and business.

urged that there will be full coop eration with the "MeatleSs Tuesday" program. Every pound of meat that is saved at home, he said. makes another pound available for the men of the armed services and also stretches out the civilian supply,
 Turkey, chicken and other poultry are not included In the "mea.leSs" plan and may be served. The vol- untary ban also exempts such items as liver, sweetbreads, and pigs feet. Frankforts and sausage are also understood to be excluded from the ban, though the status of these foods was not entirely clear.
 Several restaurant owners said they planned to offer "meatleSsH menus. but others were uncertain, indicating that they would wait to see what their competitors would do. Tn general, it appeared that res taurants were ready to cooperate fully if there were definite assur- ances that the plan would be fol- lowed by all.
 "Meatless Tuesdays" are the rec ommendation of the State Defense Council. The plan has been in ef- feet in New York City and other large communities for several weeks and has been operating satisfac- torily.

REID ROBINSON
 CARRIES CEASES
Cl0 Presidents Plurality Considerably Below
 Expectation

Waterbury votes in the election for president of the C. I. O. Mine. Mill and Shelter Workers union were cast pretty much as was pre- dicted, final tabulations showed to- day.
 Reid Robinson carried the Chase Local 56S with 563 votes to John Driscoll's 229. although his plural ity was considerably below expec- tation. His supporters attritEte his showing to the fact that Driseoll is a Waterbury man.
 Driscoll's own Local 25i gave him a ve-itable landslide, casting 2.45O ballots for him againset 84 for his opponent, and increasing his lead substar tially.
 A 2o-vote error in counting which was rectified last night, slightly diminished the Driscoll vote at the Scovill Local 569. but nevertheless the Waterbury man registered ars overwhelming triumph by count of 2e0 to l36.
 Anthony Bosco. DriscoL's cam palgn manager, SJateQ DeIOfe tEe Waterbury locals went to the polls that he thought the final outcome of the election would be decided here. Robinson supporters, on the other hand, are still waiting for re- turns from the west coast and from New Jersey where they claim their candidate is we'll entrenched.
 Although the deadline for casting pallets was Nov. IS, the votes still have to be forwarded 10 the na- tional headquarters in Denver, Colo, for final and official tabulation, and it is not likely that any results will be forthcoming for at least week. Affiliates of the union have until Dec. to report referendum results to the Denver office.
 Robinson headquarters said this morning that in all probability there would be no partial results released from Denver in order to prevent enthusiasm over false or in- complete reports.

FEDERAL AGENCIES
 CALLED PIRATES

Washington. Nov. l6-CuP1-war Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt. supporting charges by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va, that the govern ment is wasting manpower, said to- day that federal agencies in some instances were hoarding workers or pirating them from one another.
 In a statement last night. Byrd accused the government of reckless ly employing large numbers of un- necessary workers needed elsewhere in the war effort and of wasting millions of dollars. Byrd said at least one-third of 5000, 600 workers in federal civil service could be dis missed without harming war agen- cies.
 McNutt agreed that the govern ment was guilty of hoarding and pirating practices but told a press conference that efforts to correct these abuses were meeting with some success.

TRUCK OWNERS
 GRANTED STAYS
Temporary Gas RatiOns Offered All Without Ne.
 cessity Certificates

Temporary gasoline rations may be issued to truck owners who do not receive their certificates of ne- cessity" from the office of Defense Transportation in Detroit by Nov. 9, it was indicated today by James E. Mcknight, local gasoline admin istrator. Much concern has been ex- pressed by truck owrers who have not received their certificates in spite of applications made many weeks ago.
 According to .ile regulations gaso- line cannot be allotted to any truck owner unless the certificate is pre- sented. The old gasoline coupons expire here Nov. 9 ard 1t is believed many of the certificates will not ar. rive by that time.
 Filing of certificates has been postponed nationally to Dec. 1. bG. this does not help the local truck drivers, Mir. Mcknight stated, be- cause their new gasoline rationing period starts Nov. 9.
 Meanwhile many applications have been distributed for the new registration required of all "A" book holders. Transportation committees at the various plants are assisting with the registration, the main pur- pose of which is to secure listing of tires by all car owners The forms are due at the ration headquarters Nov. 9.
 Tire inspection hns been scheduled to start here ne:t week and the local ration board is at present compiling a list of inspec .ors for the work. App plicatiors from all persons who have the necessary equipment have been requested.
