Room 2O5

Where is room 205? This room
is the home-room of all my fellow
Seniors. We may forget many
other room in the John Bassett
Moore School, but never room 205.
This year many outside infiu-
ences have changed many of the
old customs of room 205. Until
1912 this room was constantly
echoing the plans for the Washing
ton trip. However, let's quit griev-
ing over this misfortune. We must
remember that many men are CIV
ing up high salaries and giving
their service to the Army or Navy.
Many women are giving up much
of their usual manner of living and
volunteering their services to civil
ian defense.
What shall we do with the money
we have earned? This is ques-
ton for the Seniors in room 205 to
decide upon. This is question on
which we all have right to ex-
press oru opinion.
1 think that we should have a
Senior Banquet. We would not
need all our money for this occa-
sion. With the rest we should do
what every patriotic American is
doing, give the rest-notice I said
"Give"-to Uncle Sam. I'm will
ing to buy my cap and gown, if I
need one. Are you?
P. S.--Those who relax, help the
Axis.

BAD NEWS AT HOME
CHAPTER VIII

The rounds and the discussion
afterward lasted several hours
and when they we're over Peter
felt whipped, beaten. He had
been asked questions by DR.. Sta
cy about things that he'd not yet
had opportunity to learn, and
about other things that he knew
perfectly well but couldn't get
out the answers to because of his
tongue-tie state; the Chief, he
thought, had enjoyed watching
him squirm rs though he'd got
ten his bug impaled onto the
edge Of a pin.
DR.. Morrison came up to him
afterward. Its not always as
bad as that, you know" he said.
I'm sorry you were let in for
1t. It's just that-well, the Chief
got the idea from last years
group that you summer fellows
treat his place as q resort. He
means to work you all thorough
ly this year. / understand, and !
gathered rather that you were

you'd warn the others as they ar
rive, get them in the proper
mood"
He meant him to be treasured,
but Peter was not. 1t looked
like tough summer ahead. With
q sigh, he gave up all hope of
weeks end trip home. He'd write
instead, long newsy letters.
But after q bit even that hope
dwindled. He had never worked
harder. He worked mornings in
the laboratory until time for
rounds, in the afternoon he was
in the x-ray room. There were
rounds again in the evening, and
after that he sat porting for hours
over books, trying to get the
things he was learning sorted
out and clearly in mind before
they degenerated into q confused
tumble and disappeared. Let

ing luxury he couldn't afford; he

He would explain to Candace
when he got back. She was
swell girl, sensible one; she'd
understand. He had very little
time to worry but If ever wor-
ry crept in he comforted himself
with the thought that he would
be away from her only for the
summer. Just a couple Of
months, already partly over.
Nothing very much, he reassur-
ed himself, could happen in such
q short time.
He had been becoming in
creasingly uneasy about his faith

had written q brief and apollo

And for the past several weeks

Peter hurried to Tuckaways
hoping to find him there, but in

uneasiness. He learned that the
Hobbses were gone and with
them the couple from the town

Bruce's business had gone bad
once before, in the early nine
teen-twenties. Peter remem-
bered clearly those lean days,
when they had lived in a house
whose rooms had a hollow
sound because almost everything
they had once contained had
been sold for what little it
would bring, and when fire.

OF course in the earlier period

her never-failing faith in him
and her courage, on whom to re-

ton had probably hit him hard.

And she was intelligent. A
dream of coming back to a home
where Candace waited and of
being helped to clear his mind

understanding discussion Of
them with her had become part
of his hopes for the future.
Now he was not too sure 1t
was a good thing. What if she

THE ALIENS SPOT

If you had Japanese, a German an italian
working for you at the outbreak of the war, have
you discharged him?
If you have you have broken faith with the
very principle of democracy which this country is
fighting to defend.
That, in essence, was the gist of statement
made early this month by Attorney General Francis
Biddle into whose lap the problem of dealing with
enemy aliens has been dumped.
The apprehension of aliens from the enemy
countries was shrouded in mystery during the first
few weeks of the war We knew that FBTs G-men
were picking up" japanese, Germans and Italians,
but we were not told who they were how many
were grabbed This week Bddle announced that
actually, out of total non-citizen population of
about 100000 in the United States and possessions,
less than 5000 have been regarded dangerous to
the peace and safety OF the nation and have been
taken into custody. This is boiled down. at the
ratio of six out Of every 10000

passed the acid test of investigation and are al

be presumed to have proven themselves worthy the

Yet within few days after this country went

Department of Justice regarding employers who had
discharged workers because of vague suspicion
of them because they had "foreign-sounding"

enterprises. Increased OUTLAWS of
public funds will be deemed nee
essary as all defense efforts are
speeded toward a completion which
will make the nation irlvulner-
able. Statesmen will realize that
spending means safety and that
criticism of the government is IN
line with subversive programs.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
March and April will bring about
our complete Identification with the
plans of the Allies, astrologers pre-
dict. In other words, our armed
forces will plunge into about war
IN the spring. Desperate need of
the fullest participation in tbs
world conflict will be answered by
such demonstration of our power
that Britain and Russia will be
galvanized into rttnewed efforts
that mean final success. The stars
all along have been read as pres
aging our place as greatest of all
nations, the leader in the new
world which will evolve from
waste of life and property SO
great that all civilization is threat
ened.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of con-
slant work that promises little but
proves to be profitable. Domestic
annoyances should be overlooked.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be exceedingly clever, but
inclined to be independent and
difficult to direct. Surgeons, ar
fists and architects belong to this
sign.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOanpeW
SUNDAY, JANUARY 18

Good and ill are balanced in
the horoscope for today. The mind
may be disturbed and apprehen-
sive. 1t is a time bravely TO face
the present with its implications
regarding the future.
HEART AND HOME: Great &C
tivity among the clergy is indi-
Gated for the winter. Service with
the armed forces will engage the
energies of many whose work as
chaplains will find more ready
response than was given in the
previous World War. Women Of
all ages now will assist in efforts
to direct thought in spiritual chan
nels. Denominational bars will be
let down as a clearer view of mans
relations to the Infinite is gained
Anxiety in many homes will be
increased by the progress of war
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Activity
in retail centers will be marked.
The usual post-holiday sales will
be greater than in previous sea-
sons, the seers foretell. Prosperity
will have a special meaning this
month for all who have foresight
and can look ahead through this
new year of 1912. In the display of
goods and in the methods of at
tracing buyers merchants will
reach the highest standards of
craftsmanship.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Resentment
regarding labor troubles will be
famed by subversive agencies. Mu-
tual understandings between en-
ployers and employees will be i'm
perative as the world conflict
comes nearer both shores, east and
west, of the United States. The
stars preSage patriotism among
workers who cease to be envious
of possible profits for capitalists
and manufacturers for war needs.
Astrologers stress the dangers due
| to the revolutionary influences Of
the planets.
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS:
Mars indicates grave problems with
far-reaching complications. There
is a sign read as peace emblem
in the charts for London and Ber-
lin. Again powerful church factors
will work to negotiate treaties and
pacts, but Britain will be sternly
opposed. 1t is foretold that one
fourth of the earth must be ruined
in the birth of the new era which
is to be produced by blood, bombs
and tears.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of ups and downs
through the coming year. Bad luck
will be followed by gains in unex-
pected ways.
Children born on this day should
be capable and energetic and ar
tistic. They may incline toward un-
necessary worry and impulsive de-
cisions.

MONDAY. JANUARY 10

MONOAY, JANUARY ~
Aspects stimulating to mental
and physical activity are dominant
in the horoscope for today. There
may be expansion in new lines OF
commerce.
HEART AND HOME: Increase in
tolerance and general quickening
of social consciousness are fore
cast as wars demands cause wider
and better cooperation in defense
work. Warning again is given that
the public health will be under
mined as epidemics affecting the
lungs and digestive apparatus
spread. Sanitary precautions should
be maintained in eve y home and
the science of nursing studied as
never before. AS the winter adj
vances there will be marked de-
crease in social gayeties. but an
added desire for entertainment
that assures forgetfulness of life's
realities.
NATIONAL ISSUES: AS the
tides of war actually sweep toward
the Atlantic and Pacific boundaries
of the United States there will be
bitter criticism of the Federal gov
eminent for its part in the second
World War, but astrologers declare
that our share in the conflict has
been indicated since the first
movements toward aggression by
foreign powers. The seers read that
our part as the savior of freedom
and of the democratic form of gov
eminent was unacceptable. They
long prophesied our part in the
blood and tears of International
contest.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Continued
prosperity will be maintained
among workers as govern
ment contracts are turned out
with great acceleration. The end of
