AstroIogers read sinister warnings

Women should be cautious under

avoid business dealings and beware
of mourning the enmity of employers.

appointments.
Singers and actors should be cau-
tious under this rule, for it is not an

as sinister in its forecast of trouble
for women in public life. Political
ambitions will arouse jealousies and
scandals.
Sculptors and architects should be
on their guard, if the planets are read
Alright during this con1guratlon.
1t is day when quarrels may arise
between the best friends, and for
that reason arguments and discus
sions should not be INDUCED in. Mars
is believed to sway men and women
in moods that represent their most
intense emotions.
Trouble and rioting In India are
foreshadowed. Mars In the eleventh
house indicates a necessary strength

Special Music to Feature
Moslem Mission Campaign

Arrangements have been made for
special musical numbers in the line of
congregational singing at the Moslem
Missionary Campaign meeting in
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church on
Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Pro-
fessor C. A. Ellenberger will lead the
music and Henry W. Stratton will pre-
side at the organ. The devotional
services will be in charge of the Rev.
DIR. John D. Fox, pastor of Grace
Church.
The afternoon meeting, from 4 to
$40 o'clock. will not be so pretentiouS
because there will be less time at the
disposal of the speakers and because
it is not so easy to obtain volunteer
leaders for afternoon work. The
speaking at the afternoon meeting,
however, will be similar to the talks
in the evening by the same speakers
and will be just as interesting. James
w. Barker, chairman of the local in
terdenominational committee arrang-
ing for the free meetings, will prob
ably preside at both meetings. The
speakers at both will be Marion Law
rance. of Chicago: the Rev. DR.. S. NJ.

phen V. van Trowbridge, of Turkey.

decision Judge Benson said: I'VE are
