TIIE STRIKE
For many years, oh dames and
rents, I've written iom for twenty
rents, but now I've raised the price; a
fiunrter now you must unload, if you
would buy of me an ode, and caught
' less nil! suffice. Sly laurel wreath, the
useful lyre that I have twanged with
ro.'iloua f.re, I've laid upon the shelf;
no more shall I endure my wrongs;
if you want helpful, deathless songs,
you'll have to sing- yourself. My
wrongs! I don't know what they are
tmt in all places, near and far, men
talk of wrongs with bile; and I don't
want to trail along without, a single
Muwsted wrong I want to Jte in
t-tyle. I am resolved no tyrant' heel
tdiall grind my face or place ithe oal
rf bondage on my brow; and so my
iniiKe has quit her flights; I'll stand
vp for my sacred rights, though I
isiusl soak the ow. In vain your .wail
ing children plead for elegies and oues
to read, I've shut off the supply; in
vnln you rant around and curse be
muse you cannot find a verse to paste
inside your hat; until my wrongs,
whale'er they be, have found a prop
er remedy, I'll sing no more, that's
i;nt. .. .

On Wednesdajry, December 17, all of the planets, with
the exception of the earth, will be in .one approximated
line with the sun, and all of them, with the exception of
urarms, win ce on jne same side of the sun. They will be
strung along in approximately the same plane and ap
proximately the same line, like points on one spoke of a
wheel, with Uranus on the same lline but on the other side
of the sun. .
This unusual planetary confisruration has resnlfprl in
dire predictions of disaster by those who pose as prophets.
Some religious cranks profess to see a fulfillment of
bibical prophesies and predict the end of the world.
Weather prophets and meteorolgical scientists predict dis
astrous quakes, floods, electrical storms and nther rHs-
turbances of far effect. Still others predict disasters due
to collision with comets or unknown bodies flying
through space, whose orbit has been altered by planetary
influence. " -
We are assured, however, bv astrnnnmprs nrA cat on

is visible, and that predictions of disasters art. "hunt

LIMITING TO NEWSPAPERS
p ONGRESS is considering a bill to limit the size of
newspapers and penodicals on account of the short
age of paper. The Anthony bill fixes the maximum size
of daily papers at 24 pages, Sunday editions at 36 pages,
weekly periodicals at 75 pages and monthly periodicals

f The volume of advertising has increased tremendous

drives convincingly demonstrated the value of newspaper

never did before. Unless some check is applied, the news
papers will soon overreach themselves, by printing such
enormous issues that the mere size prevent their being
read and destroys their value to the advertiser.

should exceed 24 pages in size. With a smaller paper, the

"Can't understand what important

This was the first telegram I had
