In Georgetown alone these nurses made in 1926 10,261 visits and gave care to 3,432 patients. Winter Wave of Aliments Cited. ““With the current Winter wave of influenza, pneumonia and colds,” Mrs. Blair continued, “resulting in calls for the visiting nurse running as high as 70 new cases in one day duripg the past week, I feel that our meeting Thursday will be of special timeliness and interest. The purpose of the meeting, which will be the first of its kind, is the extension of the service, particularly in the Georgetown area, by getting over to the people the pos- sibilities within the reach of the very poor, who use the free service; those who can pay in part for their service and of the very practical use which can be made of the hourly nurse in the residential districts, where only a part-time service is needed.” ey WOMEN’S GROUP FOSTERS LENTEN LECTURE SERIES Tlustrated Course to Be Given to Pay Expenses of Delegates to i Church Convention.

Good and evil planetary influences contend tomorrow, according to as- trology. The afternoon hours are held more favorable than those of the morning. This is read as a lucky day for starting out on a journey, and it should be especially favorable to travel in the air. the stars presage inventions ef the most amazing sort, and the seers declare that they will change Mfe as much as the telephone and radio have altered customs. ‘This is held to be a most favorable away for all psychic investigation and for philosophical studies. Education makes immense progress this year, it is said, and in the uni- versities are many supermen and superwomen, it is declared. Bankers and financiers of the United States are approaching a time jwhen their dictum will be of international concern, more serious than in previ- ous times, astrologers prophesy. This date should be an auspicious one for making investments or for dealing with brokers. All the occultists insist that many great fortunes will be made in Amer- ica_before the end of this year. Europe is to patronize our manu- factures, if the stars are rightly read, and there will be manv rush orders that may precipitate legislative dis- { cussion. From this date on, world events are to move with terrible inexorableness, and this country is to prosper while others turn to it for aid Persons whose birth date it is should exercise tact and diplomacy in their | rs all through the coming vear. hildren born on that day may struggle in their carly years and reap fremendous rewards later.
