Although the sun is in benefic to-
day, according to astrology. there
are menacing signs. Both Neptune
and Uranus are in evil place.
During this sway the mind is like
Iy to assume confidence that Will
not be later justified. This Is es-
pecially true of persons in the sun,
to which class political candidates
belong.
This should be fortunate day FOR
all who would make bargains for
future favors, since the rule Is con-
ducivc to optimism and generosity.
Persons seeking employment
should be active in the early morn
ing hours.
Neptune and Uranus are in aspects
read as forecasting much distortion
OF facts not only in their prcsenta-
ton to the public mind. but also in
their dissemination among the pco-
pie.
There is rule that is believed
to incline both men and women TO
believe the worst about one another.
This is responsible for scandals and
unpleasant gossip, which will be
more and more prevalent until the
beginning OF the new year.
one OF the signs of the new era
begun with the ending of the war il
constant tendency toward change.
This will be apparent in every CEN
ter of population, for ancient land
marks will pass away and oldtime
buildings will be oblterated with a
rapidity never previously equaled.
Attention is again called 10 the
elimination of Mars which will Sc
riously affect Russia.
Children will claim more atten-
tion than formerly from legislators
and reformers. There may be "a
serious epidemic in the winter which
will stress the value OF human life.
Astrologers who predicted a
strange apathy on the part OF the
people during the national political
campaign declare that it is "A sign
not to be ignored, since It BODIES
disaffection with oldtime methods
OF electing a president.
Persons whose birth date IL Is

anxiety that may be easily over
