The stars are not very kindly dis
posed on this day. The predomin-
ant rule is that Of Saturn, operating
powerfully through a Lunar opposi-
ton as well as through a Sesqui-
quadrate aspect with Mercury. And
while the latter is not a sinister IN
huence IL predisposes to a serious
and reflective If not a melancholy
state OF mind For a student. es-
pecially OF a speculative or phil
osOphic tendency, IL is a very help
ful position The Lunar position is
real as bringing delays, disappoint-
ments and anxieties, and being gen
orally troublesome. Under this
malitic force the health may give
trouble. and dangers from colds,
chiIs and congestions should be
avoided. There Is also a menace
from false friends and losses Of
money through deception or squan-
dering. carlessness and IMPROVE

Those whose birthday il is may

at Pharsalia ordered his men TO
fight with short swords for the faces

knocked his opponent (Prof. Dono-

FitzsimmOns was the greatest body
puncher OF them all. The Cornish
man released such murderous
punch that he was afraid TO swipe
most men on the jaw. In order not

race Fitz shifted his attack to less
dangerous spot-the stomach. He
became a master of scoring hits in
