HOROSCOPE “The stars Incline, bat do not compel!" WEDNESDAY, AUG. 8. This is read by astrologers as an exceedingly doubtful day. Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun and Venus are all In threatening aspect. The lunation of this date takes place when the Luminaries are Just above the cusp of the seventh house in conjunction with Neptune. During this montn there should be an effort to maintain a calm level of thought and action, for there is danger in any extremes of emotion or movement. Persons whose blrthaate It Is should avoid law and contests of any sort. Those who are employed should be especially careful. Children born on this way may be quick tempered and Inclined to exaggeration. These subjects of Leo are usually successful In whatever they undertake. — Copyright, 1921.

BOOBS ONLY IGNORE SIGNS Secretary Noblet of Auto Association Talks of Accidents. The wit who declare* he “doesn't believe in signs” Is the same man who, when he become* an automobile driver, disregard* caution *lgn* and danger signals and who ends In the hospital or is a candidate for a “requieseat in pace" slab In the local cemetery, according to a statement just Issued by M. C. Noblet. secretary-manager of the Hoosier State Auto Association. Mr. Noblet's statement was occasioned by reports of recent rail crossing accidents at spots where the State Automobile Association had erected large and conspicuous “Dangerous Crossing" signs to supplement the cross-arm signs of the railway company. PEOPLE TAKE LIVES IN HANDS. "People take their lives in their hand when they fail to stop, look and listen.” declared Mr. Noblet. "This has been stated so often that it is trite, but ths truth of it is demonstrated every day and every week. The Hoosier State Auto Association with its limited finances has attempted to mark some of the deadly crossings and could mark them all if we oould get even a 50 per cent support from owners of motor vehicles tn Indiana. “Not a day passes but what we have requests and demands that we erect special danger signs at certain localities at widely separated points in Indiana. To attempt to accede to these requests would require a fund of not less than $15,000 and perhaps more. We have found that sign painters won't work for nothing and we have no good fairy to wish on us the touch of Midas. MEMBERSHIP PA S COST. “In short, the work we are accomplishing is done from our membership fees and the more memberships fees and the more memberships througheut the State the more constructive work can be accomplished for the benefit and protection of all owners of automcbllss snd tbe public as well. I trust the 'nan who drives an automobile will understand that it should be a part of h's duty to assist us in our civic work. I hope, also, that this will explain to the persor* who are making the increasing demands for danger signs why we can not always

Jump to grant the request, much as v e wish to do so." Mr. Noblet said the auto association fostered the new law which requires special railroad warning signs to be erected 300 feet back from a railroad crossing to supplement the regular cross-arm signs. These signs are now appearing in several sections of the State, h*tl <i-pr•) their erection has not become general by any means. It is stated. “In view of the disregard of warning signs where we now have them. I am Just wondering how much good the new steel signs will really do," says Noblet. “We And we are bucking the perverseness of human nature in our civic program for protective work," he said, “which is almost as big a handicap as tho indifference motorists seem to have as to our campaign for memberships throughout the State. If they could jusr imagine what conditions for them would be if there were no such organization as the Hoosier State Association, I believe they would begin to see the light." DISANNEXATION LEAGUE TOPIC Works Board Fails to Get Ashby’s Opinion. Failure of Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby to give to the board of public works a ruling as to whether or not it has a legal right to asume jurisdiction of the petition for the dlsannexation of West Indianapolis is expected to be the chief topic for discussion at the weekly meeting of the Enterprise Civic League, in Assumption Hall, 1105 Blaine avenue, this evening. The petition, bearing more than 5,000 names, was filed with the board of public works more than two weeks ago. The board declined to set a date for hearing upon the document until it reseived an opinion from Mr. Ashby. It promised that such a ruling would be had within two days. When the leaders of the disannexation movement went back to the city hall the board informed them that the corporation counsel was out of town snd the mattet would have to be postponed further. Since then no move has been made. Falling to get a hearing before the board of public works the petitioners claim they may go to the city council oi begin action in Circuit Court.
