JULY 80.
JULY 80.

:. A.
Men Of this birthday are successful
flnanciers They do not know the
meaning OF fear in any form and con-
sequently plunge ahead into all kinds
Of risks that most men would avoid.
No disappointment Of their plans seems
TO discourage them and they take up
one line Of work after another with
wonderful adaptability.
They are quick tempered, will not
take advice and are dominating over
others.
You will not flnd these men doing
detail work in business, but rather at
the head Of organizations responsible
for the carrying out OF plans.
The governing planet is the Sun. The
diamond is the birthstone and the gov
erning sign is Leo.

CAPITAL WELL WORTH VISIT
Merida. Chief City Of Yucatan, is by
No Means Lacking In Attractions
for Tourist.

A capital which most tourists never
many people are ignorant is Merida,
the chief city of Yucatan. Yucatan Is
one Of the richest Mexican provinces
and, to go further into the intricacies
of geography, forms the right arm Of
the Gulf of Mexico. Merida, its show
city, officially began to exist in 1912,
when the Spaniards laid the corner
stone with much ceremony and pro-
claimed grandly that the very loyal
and noble city of Merida. chartered by
his most Catholic majesty, Philip II.
was now on thS map.
Since then Merida has grown consid-
erably, acquired a plaza, cathedral,
university. hotels and gOOd'y number
of milliOnaireS, and considers itself a
city of some importance.
One governor of Yucatan, with a
tiOnal pride, tried to separate the
wealthy citizens of the capital from
some of their surplus change for i'm
prOvement of the city. The millionaire
element could not see how 1t would
gain anything by installing the beauti-
fully paved boulevards described so
graphically by their promoter and re-
fused to contribute. But the governor
placed tax on the hencquen, the chief
source of Merida's wealth, and with
the proceeds, which ran into millions
Of dollars, he laid pavements which
made walking and driving in the city
II joyous affair, instead of the unpleas-
ant necessity which it had been.

Thraeians Used "Tanks.n

The modern tank had its precursor,
however, in crude, says the Christian
Science Monitor. One can read all
about it in Alexander the Greats ex.
ploitS. Just to show their dislike Of
Alexander in particular, and of Pan
ucllenism in general, the Thracians in
vented war machines in the shape of
loaded wagons and conveyed them to
Mount HaemuS, so as TO command the
pass through which Alexander's SOL
dicrs must march. At the critical mo-
mcnt, the big, numbering wagons, load
ed with rock, were launched straight
on the helpless men below. Alex
Gndcr, however, met this onslaught
by ordering his men to lie down, and
TO interlocl1 their shields above them,
so that the vehicles could roll over a
road Of shields. BY this maneuver,
we are told, he saved his army from
humiliation.

Dutch Flanders and occupy the bank
of the Scheldt River Thousands Of
troops were held in readiness at differ
