It is an ideal rule for all who are energetic and progressive. The morning should be most fs vorable for launching import projects, which should be well di- rected under this configuration. This is a date for signing leases and contracts.

This is not a forbidding rule for those who seek favors, but best re sults will be assured by independent effort. Those who seek employmen should be lucky today.

Cocoons in the Bronx (Philadelphia Record) John Ousta, a cleaner and dyer by trade, is ng a single-handed battle against depression up in the Bronx. He is trying to give the United States a new industry, Amer he believes, can grow silk just as well as any country in the world. To prove it he has grown enough in his Bronx attic to make 94 American flags. The Ousta silk came from worms hatched from eggs mported from ancestral home in Turkey. He fed worms on native-grown mulberry leaves. Now he is prepared to give eggs to anyone who can show he has mulberry trees from which to feed the rms. But he would go further. He would have the United States Government distribute eggs and trees free. In six years, says Ousta, this country then could be independent as far as its supply of raw silk is con- the | cerned Ousta saying a good deal.
