Good and i'll contend this day, ac-
cording to astrology. Uranus and
Venus are adverse in the morning and
later Jupiter is in evil place, while
Mercury, Mars and Neptune are all
friendly.
1t seems to be a rule under which
there will be much activity in both
the army and navy, and the indica-
tions are promising for good.
1t is well not to begin any important
business affair under this sway, for
the stars indicate that misjudgment
and Misrepresentation are to be ex-
pected.
The sway Is especially forbidding for
whatever has to do with women's
wear. Milliners, modistes and design
ers should be careful.
Hotels have the contradictory prog
nostication of increase Of business and
loss Of profits.
The stars seem to indicate loss OF
patronage for theaters and places Of
amusement
It is not a lucky day for weddings
and entertainments. Engagements
made under this rule are likely to
last but a short time.
This should be q most propitious
sway for advertising and for all
branches Of journalism.
The stars seem to promise fair luck
for members of the army, especially
to those who belong to the Signal
Corps.
Again extraordinary inventions are
foretold. and one Of these will revolu-
tionize the principles of aviation or
improve on aeroplanes to such an ex-
tent that it win mark new epoch in
the war, the seers declare.
Coincident with the launching by the
government Of great inventions for
warfare, prophets will appear to PRE-
sent new theories as sensational as
the principles Of the new inventions.
Under this planetary sway there may
develop many jealousies and disap-
pointments in more than one branch
Of the government service, but these
will be only short in duration and not
far-reaching.
Persons whose birthdate It Is should
not risk any money in the new year
