assure the success of a new American
literature in which the drama will be
conspicuous. A woman will win inter

Stars that increase mental and spirit

Women have the forecast Of supreme
opportunities to aid the progress OF the

lines not parallel to those of men.
The eclipse of the sun mex month Is
read as presaging an epidemic.
There is a sign believed to indicate
closer cooperation among farmers,

striction.
In the new year social reactions Of
