HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, bat do not compel.’* THCRBDAY, AUG. 5, 1910. Although Saturn rules strongly .for good early today, astrologers read a grave menace In Mars. There Is again danger of serious strikes and even of riots that cause great loss of life. Mars is in a place supposed to arouse the baser emotious of men and to cause them to seek ignoble methods of retaliation for wrongs, fancied or otherwise. Speakers who appeal to hate and discontent will exercise much Influence while this configuration prevails. Egotism may be increasingly revealed at this time when both men and women, seek public approbation, for there is a star in strong domination that causes the mind to contemplate self and gain impressions that are too optimistic. Civic efforts to promote community spirit will gain a decided impetus at this time. San Francisco, New York and Washington. D. C.. come under a planetary government that makes for large enterprises that promote public welfare. ' Person? whose birthdate it is may have a year of more or less stress. They should avoid work and worry. Young women will have offers of marriage. .Children born on this day are likely to be fond of adventure and change.

c |yp a |j “The Federal Trade Commission in noiams report to Congress ascribes strong smamssaxmißKKzmww demand as primary cause of recent advances in price of gasoline and other petroleum products, rather than to any combination in restraint , 0 f trade.” (Boston News Bureau, P m June 3rd, 1920.) 1-ICOC Gasoline prices will go down as soon as gasoline supply exceeds demand. Only two ways are known to increase ■hmhbb gasoline supply. First, increase the production of crude petroleum; second, to increase the yield of gasoline from the crude petroleum obtainable. % Recognizing the latter as the more practical method, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has discovered, through extensive research, a way to definitely increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil In its laboratories, modem to the last detail * ' of equipment, chemists, engineers and experienced refiners are working continually to this end It was one of these men who discovered the process which has largely increased the yield of gasoline obtainable from the crude. This, and other discoveries, together with the economies of efficiency throughout all processes of refining, have enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to exert a marked downward pressure on gasoline prices. •' / . The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) strives at all times to deal in fairness to all the people within its territory, and today is operating its business on as small a margin of profit as is consistent with sound financing, and with safety for its 4799 stockholders, of whom no / single investor owns as much as 10 percent of the total stock. ■ Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 2170 „ 910 So.

FAMOUS ACTOR WANTS NO PAY ‘Toque,’ French Poodle-Equine, Here With Circus. “Toque." equine extraordinary, French pooflle by grace of ancestry and circus performer by profession, has earned more money in his day than 75 per cent of mankind. Yet, as is the fashion with dogs, Toque would rather have a well-cooked bit of meat than all the money In America. So his master, Alf. Loyal, supplies him with plenty to eat, a stateroom in which to sleep, handsome collars and—takes the money. Toque and his master, together with the finest trained equines that have ever toured, are seen with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined shows, to be here Monday, Aug. 0. Toque is a wonderful equestrian. He turns single and double somersaults on a horse's back, stands on his head In the saddle, and while sitting upright on th© horse’s back catches on his nose rings and clown caps tossed to him by Loyal. While the trainer stands in the saddle, he perches himself, head down, on the man's head. “Toque” is also a wonderful acrobat. He runs down an incline to a springboard and leaps lengthwise over the heads o? a row of ten men, turning two somersaults on the way. - A troupe of baby elephant performers appeals particularly to the young folks. They are the best kind of fun-makers and quite as clever as the three herds ot full grown elephants which perform In one big number. One of these youngsters walks on a rolling ball, guiding it all aronnd the ring. Another sits in the seat of a wagon and drives like a inan, a companion in full harness playing the part of horse.f They play on Swiss bells, play at "drop the handkerchief" just like a party of children, and skip the rope, stand on their heads, play leap frog, tennis and baseball. In addition to these dumb actors there are whole troupes and groups of funny old bears, seals and sea lions, fox terriers, rollle dogs, geese, pigs and Shetland ponies. POOLROOM IrOBBKD. Burglars last night entered Joe Hammond's poolroom, 2536 Northwestern .venue, and carried away a supply of cndy end $2.
