VETERANS TOMAKE. PREFERENGE MOVE United Action Is Sought in Upholding Government Em- nioyment Rights. Backed by the united spirit of the ans’ organizations . counsel for the Vet erans’ joint committee are gathering 5 to press actlon toward what it deems efficient administration of the veterans' preference acts. he move will gain added impetus with the return to the vesterday of Capt. Julius Peyser, department {commander of the American Legion in the District of Columbia. Harlan Wood is chief counsel for the joint committee, and with the department commander will draw up a program to be laid before the national conven- tion at Omaha in October. Members of the jolnt committee | point out that Washington is the | logical place to begin the fight for veterans' preferment. claiming that the concentration of war veterans here | in the Government departments is | greater than in any other locality or | irisdiction. Even in the area sur New York., where hundreds veterans are in the Govern ment employ, the number does not ap yroach that employed in Washington. | For th 1 the committee feels hat the first test of the administra tion of the preferment acts should be made here in Washington. Within two weeks it expects to have suffi cient data together to draw up briefs and memoranda which will go before the various conventions of veterans' srganizations for action. Mr. Wood has already transmitted the Secretary of the Treasury protest on alleged discrimination | \zainst war veterans in a division of | e Loans and Currency Bureau. Other protests will be filed from time ) time as the alleged inequalities ceur BRITISH FRUIT SCARCE. | Reducers in Germany Cut Into Former Markets.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects warn against travel, removal and ange, and enjoin strict attention to routine affairs in hand. They also indicate deception or fraud, and every care must be exercised to avold fall- ing a victim to the wiles or blandish- ments of others. The signs, further- more, disclose that there will be an almost uncontrollable tendency toward arguments, quarrels or litigation. A great amount of self-control must be exerted in order successfully to over- come these impulses. In the evening a better atmosphere will prevail, which spells equanimity and tran- quality, especially in the home and | family circle. A child born tomorrow will, so far as physical conditions are concerned, | practically immune to infantile sickness, and show all signs of attain- ing a healthy and normal maturity. It will, given proper environment, be enterprising and ambitious and, at times, too prone to take a chance, regardless of consequences. It will never attain much success while working for others and should be given an opportunity, as early in life as practicable, to paddle its own canoe. It will be very loyal and steadfast to Its friends and its love affairs will never be of the light va- riety, but of the deep and lasting nature characteristic of only a few. If tomorrow is your birthday you are self-contained, independent and persistent. You pay very little at. | tention to the opinions or advice of | others, but, once having formed an opinion, go ahead in the way that you are persuaded Is most politic, and ver rarely fail. The success that has, so far, attended vour efforts is| not wholly attributable to right thinking, but, in even a greater de- gree, to your never-failing ‘“stick-at- itlvenes: The difficulties that you have often encountered would fre- | quently have daunted others, but, in | your case, they have only served as an incentive to fresh and redoubled efforts. You are both affectionate and demonstrative, and your happiness re: quires the steadfast devotion of vour mate. ‘Well known perso B LT T Ty rpepsesesspepeaseees born on this | h, public m Ilisha G.

PARIS, August 1.—Col. Robert E. Olds of St. Paul, Minn., formerly Red Cross commissioner for Europe, who will leave Paris for Washington early in the Fall to become Assistant Secre- tary of State, has been giving up most to the development of the American Library in Paris, as president of the board ‘of trustees. He has devoted himself especlally to developing the reference service on international af- fairs, with such success that he has assembled a more complete collection about European countries than can be | found in any other place, except per- haps in Geneva Col. Olds, without having anticipated by Denys T. Myers, corresponding secretary of the World Peace Founda- tion in Boston, who was loaned to the American Library in Paris for the pur- pose. As Mr. Myers had to return the end of last year he was succeeded by Walter Russell Batsell, who is now director.

AUGUST 2, ‘Bird_ to Be Killed Off Bocause of 1925-PART 1. LONDON BANS PIGEONS. Damage to Cathedral. LONDON, August 1 OP).—The pig- eons of St. Paul's, as familiar to tour- ists in England as those of St. Mark's in Venice, have met with the dis- pleasure of the authorities of the an- cient City of London, who have asked’ Parliament to pass a bill banishing them from the precincts ruled by the lord mayor. By continually pecking the mortar from between stones of the cathedral the pigeons are accused of endanger- ing the great building itself. The number of pigeons around St. Paul's has increased greatly during the last few -years, because both tour- | ists and native Londoners feed them The birds have spread from the cathe. dral precincts ot the top of Ludgate HIIl until nearly every street of the city is overrun with them. The plan is to destroy all of the birds except a few score, which will be permitted to haunt certain parts of the lofts of St. Paul's, as they have done for the last century. g fadi Capt. G. A.
