Sunday, December IT. 1919.
Good and I'll contend this day, accord

Venus rules strongly for good, Neptune
and the Sun are adverse.
Women have the best possible direction
under this conf1guration. It il a rule
that should aid their public ambitions
and encourage wise plans for the future
The seers predict that equal suffrage
will make such strides in the next four
years that the Presidential campaign OF
1920 will assume new significance, but
there will be grave mistakes and serious
dissensions which impede progress.
This is an exceedingly fortunate day for
love affairs and for making new acquaint-
ances.
An social activities that encourage
brotherly love and kindly feeling for the
poor should be successful under this sway
of the stars.
Again a season Of extreme extraya-
gance in social affairs Is forecast, but a
nationwide movement for thrift will
bring about many frugal customs in
which the wealthy will set good ex-
amples.
This is not a propitious day to seek as

Gated by the seers who foretell some sort

There is an exceedingly sinister sign

Fires will multiply in many American

many will be of incendiary origin.
Labor troubles and scandals again are

WILSON TO TAKE OATH
OF OFFICE ON SUNDAY
President Decides to Avoid Rails
inu of Questions Which Might
Follow Delay.

President Wilson will take the oath
of Office for his second term on Sun
day. March 4, 1917. The oath will
then be readministered the following
day.
This became known after the state
department had examined its records
in a search for precedents. The de-
partment holds that there is no inter
val between the term of one president
and the beginning of his successor.
The department also holds that the
fact that President Wilson's term VIII
expire on Sunday will not leave
hiatus in the office until noon of March
5. To obviate the raising of any ques
ton, however, Secretary Lansing mas
decided to advise the president to take
the oath on Sunday.
The attitude of the state department
is based chiefly on a letter written by
Chief Justice John Marshall to John
Quincy Adams, then secretary OF state,
dated Feb. 20, 1921.

QUIT AIR BOMBS.
French Decide to Abandon Their
Use In War.
ARE REGARDED DANGEROUS,

Extreme Susceptibility Of Explosive
Has Outweighed Its Wonderful De-
tonating Qualities = Tremendously
Successful Experiments Were Mads
With Volatile Agent When II Was
First Used.
PariS.-After good deal of expert
mentation the French army has given
up its attempts to use liquid air as
high explosive in warfare, because of
its extreme susceptibility to detonate
from shock.
Tremendously successful experiments
were made with this volatile agent at
first, but they were successful only un-
der perfectly agreeable conditions. For
instance, bombs for bombarding aero
planes were made with liquid air as
the explosive which some judged to
be hundred times more powerful
than bombs of similar size employ
ing picric acid or any Of its proto-
types. But it was soon learned that
the sudden descent or even rapid
swooping Of an aeroplane carrying
liquid air combs might set Off the dan
gerous cargo. 1t happened on one oc-
casion. An aviator dipped suddenly,
and nothing was ever found OF him or
his machine.
Then the bombs were carried over
elaborately prepared targets and drop
ped from captive balloons. The effect
Of the explosion was marvellous. In
stead Of reducing the target to match
wood and wreckage, the detonation
actually wiped out every vestige Of the
place where the huge, cumbersome
target had been. 1t was estimated
that the concussion Of the explosion
would have killed any living creature
within $50 yards.
Shell charged with liquid air can
not of course be fired from any pro-
jectile, the shock of firing would de-
tomato the explosive and wreck the
gun. Attempts have been made to
use liquid air grenades and liquid air
bombs in trench mortars, which are
fired by spring, much as a catapult's
missile is projected. But the extreme
"touchiness' of the explosive has out
weighed its wonderful detonating
qualities. The Germans also have fail
ed to. utilize liquid air thus far
