Just a Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. oulnius, the
Sunshine Man.

Blessed is the man whose strength Is
In Thee, my God, and in whose heart
are Thy ways. May that strength be
mine yet not mine; but Thine per-
fected In my weakness. May my heart
be strong to hope, to love, and to en-
dure.--F, b. Meyer
Cry Of the Ten Thousand.
| stand upon the summit of my years
Behind the toll, the camp the march,
the strife,
The wandering and the desert; vast,
afar,
Beyond this weary way. behold the sea!
The sea o'erswept by clouds and winds
and wings,
BY thoughts and wishes manifold, whose
breath
Is freshness and whose mighty pulse is
peace.
Palter no question of the dim beyond,
Cut loose the bark; such voyage itself
Is rest;
Majestic motion unimpeded scope,
A widening heaven, a current without
care.
Eternity-Dellveran Promise, Course,
Time tired souls salute thee from the
shore. --BroWnlee Brown.

paper Syndcate)
Mars rules strongly for evil this day,
according to astrology Jupiter and
Neptune also are adverse
1t is sway under which neace and
serenity cannot be expected
The indications are not good for bust
ness interests and there may he a
crisis of some sort, the seers dec'ar
Uranus Is in mildly helpful aspect
that should encourage Just judgment
and a desire for fairness.
All the signs seem to presage con-
tinued ferment of thought which will
be expressed in grave dangers to the
public welfare.
The army and military affairs will at
tract much attention during this month,
1t is phophesied.
Theaters and places of amusement
will prosper this mo1th, even though
there may be a marked tendency to-
| ward retrenchmert In money spending.
Commercial problems involving CT tt
cal conditions will come into public
notice and legis' tive cor sideration with
| the beginning Of the year
Neptune again gives warning that the
navy demands the nations aid and
that neglect may bring about, terrible
| disasters. The Pacific coast should be
safeguarded.
Women continue subject to the most
| dangerous and subtle astrological in
| fiuences and they should protect their
| minds from the chaotic thoughts of the
world.
Dangers are foreshad0wed for those
who experiment in spiritist'c manifes-
tations and automatic writing. 1nsani-
| ty will greatly increase during the next
| few months, it is prophesied.
| The seers explain that the human
consciousness is peculiarly sensitive to
destructive forces at time when the
aftermath of war is affecting all world
! interests and activities.
In this connection there is great
peril from the perverslon of the highest
| impulses of humanity and there should
| be a special effort to dwell on the men
| tai or spiritual plane Of thought, .
| Persons whose birthdate 1t is will
nrobably have a very actit year in
business but they should be careful to
| avoid litigation.
Children born on this day may m Get
| difficulties in life and they should be
carefully trained, They should haye
supreme possibilities.

In no picture on the screen that we
can remember has California of the
golden, rough days of 40 been set forth
with such fascination and glamour or
50 faithfully as In David Wark Crit
iith's new Paramount Aircraft produc-
uon, Scarlet Days. which now is be-
ing shown at the Strand theater The
old-time California has frequently been
represented as a place where the chief
industry was murder and whose popu-
iatlon was about equally divided be-
tween COW punchers in hair pants and
dance hall young ladies dressed like the
Negteld Follies. Mr.. Griffith shows the
old frontier as 1t really was--in its roar
ing brutality and its strange, tender
chtvalry Richard Barthelmess and a
fine cast help to make this picture more
than worth while.
