Saturday, February o, 1918.

Astrologers read this as a day of
contrary influences. the Sun, Jupi-
ter. Uranus and Mercury working
for good. while Neptune and Saturn
are strongly adverse.
1t is a day most ausplcious for all
who seek favor or aid in large en-
terprises, the attitude of those in
high positions being unusually re-
sponsive during this configuration,
1t is lucky day for those who ap-
ply for political preferment.
There is a favorable sign for all
who look for employment and par
ticularly in Eastern States large
opportunities should open.
Under this rule all Transportation
organizations should benefit, but
accidents threaten.
Early today brokers and bankers
should. be fortunate, but they will
later have a period of depression
Tor which they should prepare.
Advertising has the best sort of
leading today and publicity under
this sway of the stars is believed to
be especially beneficial.
Actors and actresses have rather
sinister direction, for the stars
seem to indicate that they will pass
through a period when they must
turn to uncongenial vocations.
Uranus betokens tremendous
growth in faith in many cults hay-
ing prophecy as part of their alleg-
ed knowledge or equipment.
There is an encouraging sign for
what is best in literature and poets
VIII claim respectful attention
where they were once ignored.
Since dancing crazes have always
heralded the approach of war. the
wane and final elimination of caba-
rets will mark 1918, it is declared
by astrologers.
Persons whose birthdate It is
have the forecast of a busy, sue
cessful year, but they should guard
against false friends.
Children born on this day are
likely to be unusually clever, ener-
getic and industrious, but owing to
the power of Uranus. these subjects
or Aquarius may be rather deceit
full and selfish.

1T Is the last dying gasp, Dick. of
