1t is highly encouraging to learn that the Army

auxiliary weapon of very important poentialitles
Compared with the airplane, the helicopter has at
present and perhaps inherently the disadvantage OF
being slower and having much smaller lifting
capacity with the same horsepower motor. But the
helicopter has the advantage OF being able
to rise descend vertically without prepared
landing field running space, and OF being able to
operate from land, water, marsh or thin ice.

Saturday, March n

This is not an important day in
planetary government, but there is
a sign that denotes possible war
news. both good and the reverse.
HEART AND HOME: While this
CONFORMATION prevails there may be
a tendency to make plans and then
change them, to start work and to
leave it unfinished. Women may
feel nerve strain which should be
overcome by avoiding worry and
seeking rest or recreation. Under
the influence of war, which not
only causes apprehension regarding
members of the family but seems
to impart something of the nnassed
aeartache of world in distress,
it is imperative for persons OF all
ages to conserve strength and avoid
negative thoughts.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Although
certain astrologers believe that the
Aquarium Age has begun. the best
authorities think it still in the fu-
ture. All foreten great changes and
turmoil during which the habits and
customs of passing era are dis
carded and they see in the pre-
sent war and its effects the neces-
ssary destruction of what must be
rebuilt on better foundations. This
means that our banking and COM
mercial systems will be altered in
many ways that benefit humanity.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Warning
is given by the seers that within
the nation all antagonisms are per-
ilous and especially fortunate for
our enemies. Strikes which delayed
coal production and those that i'm
peded war industries provoked re-
sentiment which should be over
come The stars presage for labor
tremendous growth of power and
it is foretold that union repreSen-
tatives will be numerous in Con-
gresS within a decade. 1t has, been
repeatedly forecast that in postwar
days old social professional and pol
itical lines will fade and that there
will be true democracy. For that
reason astrologers counsel restraint
in criticism or judgment.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s.:
Stain comes under the most for
tunate influences this month; at
the end of the year he should be in
a position of great strength, his
foes vanquished and his splendid
leadership gratefully acknowledged
by the United Nations. He is to
come under adverse aspects in 1914
when his health may be under
mined. 1t is forecast that Russia
will be second to the United States
In postwar power and danger OF
jealousies affecting the two nations
and their leaders is prognosticated
Stain will be in a demanding mood
along certain lines of international
cooperation.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of extensive
activities Advancement for those
in war service is indicated.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be ambitious, idealistic,
energetic and successful. These
Aries natives have keen minds and
occult understanding.

Kennedy Quits WLB.
Mr. Burke's statement followed an
earlier declaration by Mr.. Lewis that
the miners must get pay increases,
even if it is necessary for the Gov
eminent to subsidize them.
1t also was confirmed yesterday
that Thomas Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the UNIV, has submit
ted his resignation as a member of
the WLB to President Roosevelt.
Edward Lynch, his secretary, told
the Associated Press in Hazelton,
Pa, that the report concerning the
letter of resignation was true, but
that further informa ton must come
from the White House.
According to an official of the
WLB, Mr.. Kennedy's resignation is
linked to his dissatisfaction with the
Little Steel wage formula applied
in labor disputes as a measuring
stick in granting pay increases.
In discussing the negotiations,
Mr.. Burke said that collective bar

miners and operators were at COM

Defendants. against whom judg-

The small claims branch handles
suits involving wage claims, oack

ages and merchandise claims.
Loan Sharks Suppressed.
Among the courts accomplish
ments is the suppression of loan
sharks.
Some had been lending amounts
ranging from 50 to 5000 at tremen-
dous rates of interest, often as high
as 200 per cent per year.
One such individual filed group
of suits, all under $50, representing
balances he claimed due for loans
to various persons employed in Gov
ernment offices.
Six of the defendants came in
court together, without counsel, con-
tending that they had long since
repaid not only the principal amount
of the loans but also interest at
the rate of more than 20 per cent
per month. The trial judge sided
with the defendants and warned
the plaintiff that such claims would
not be tolerated.
Many other cases involving work.
mans compensation claims. small
rent claims and even labor disputes
have been amicably settled.
Recently, a number of suits in
volving alleged violation of price

Poor Mans Court S Years Old;
Cases Handled Total 773,5OO
Small Claims Branch Has Jurisdiction
Over Civil Suits of $50 or Less

Acclaimed by many authorities
throughout the Nation as the model
poor mans" claims court, the
small-claims and conciliation branch
of Municipal Court marks its fifth
anniversary tomorrow.
Since its inception April 5. 1888,
the claims branch has handled 49,
500 cases, Edward M. Carr, the clerk
of the court, announced yesterday.
Established primarily to aid those
litigants in the lower pay brackets,
the court, which has jurisdiction
over all civil suits of $50 or less. has
proven beneficial for both plaintiff
and defendant.
Before the court was established
many people couldn't afford to bring
suit because of inability to hire a
lawyer. The small-claims branch
has eliminated this.
Arbitration Provided.
Various reforms have been insti-
tuted.
One is the voluntary arbitration
and conciliation procedure. This
service has been made available to
the public without regard to the
amount involved and has proved re-
markably successful in preventing
lengthy litigation.
A ST fee covers the cost of filing
the case, receiving a trial and hav-
ing judgment entered. Plaintiffs
without funds no longer need show

his group will not consent to the
S2-a-day wage increase demanded
by the union. He also was adamant
about the refusal of the operators
to accede to Mr. Lewis demands for
the unionization of supervisory em-
ployes and the payment of wages
for the time consumed by the min
ers in getting in and out of the
mines.
The normal procedure in having a
case certified to the WLB is to have
the conciliator first report his in
ability to settle the dispute to the
Secretary of Labor.
According to the WLB official, Mr..
Kennedy denied that his resigna-
ton has anything to do with the
current dispute between the union
and the mine operators. The UNIV
official was quoted as having said
that board matters were taking up
too much time and that since last
October he had been unable to at
tend WLB meetings regularly.
