FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1922.

This Is doubtful day in plane
tary direction, according to the
seers. Although Saturn is in a
strongly benefic aspect and Venus
is family smiling on humanity. the
Sun and Neptune are unfriendly.
The lunation of this day takes
place with Jupiter and Saturn in
the eleventh house.
The configuration is read as very
favorable to foreign affairs, denot-
ing wise political activity abroad.
The aspect is fortunate for the
people. inasmuch as 1t indicates
that legislative bodies will pass
beneficial measures and seek to en-
force them.
Mars ruler of the Ascendant is in
a place that denotes q disconnected
spirit among certain classes and
turbulences or even violence, is in
dicated
Uranus again foreshadows wet
weather in certain parts of the
country and floods will cause dam
age.
The prophecy that much crime
against women and children would
be discovered in the past few
months is made again for the COM
ing summer.
Girls should be especially safe
guarded for international plots to
entrap them will be revealed.eit is
prognosticated.
Much discussion regarding educa-
ton and religion will mark the
summer. II is forecast, and there
against some government plan for
encouraging the development of
knowledge among the people.
Again unusual mortality among
artists. musicians and persons OF
exceptional talent is prophesied.
Many famous men and women
will pass out of life. the seers de-
clare. before the end of the year
and there will be a period in which
| II seems fe wasire to achievement
that entities them to succeed the
sunguished dead.
Mercury in the eighth house OPP
posed to Mars denotes many acci-
| dents in the course OF travel for
1 recreation
Shipping troubles of all sorts
Will be aired during the summer
when American maritime interests
will be subject to the most sinister
influences.
Persons whose birthdate It If
have the best possible augury for
the year. They will meet with
pleasant recognition from employ
ers or association and should have
much happiness In the home.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be unusually lucky all
through life. They should easily
win success in any vocation they
select.

GEORGE HARVEY
KNOCKEDOUT IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Diplomats Machine Struck by
Another in cannes-In-
juries Not Serious.
BY International News Service.

CANNES, France, Jan. O.
George Harvey, American Ambas-
sador to England and observer for
the United States at the supreme
council meeting, was injured in an
automobile collision today.
Ordered to His Bed.
The attending physicians said that
they hoped that Mr.. Harvey's In.
juries were not serious. but they
ordered his to remain quiet in
bed during the balance of the day.
The American ambassador. accom-
panied by H. Wickham Steed, editor
Of the London Times. was on his
way to the golf links when another
motor car. coming up swiftly from
behind. struck his automobile On
the side.
Both Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. steed
were thrown to the pavement. Spec
tators rushing up found Mr.. Harvey
unconscious. He was taken iinme-
diately to the Carleton Hotel. where
three physicians, including the per.
sonal doctor to Premier BRAND of
France, were summoned.
They found Mr.. Harvey suffering
from injuries about the head. A
careful examination was made, after
which they ordered the patient to
forego all activities for the time
beng.
Another member of the Harvey
party was Richard Crane, American
minister to Czecho-Slovakia. Although
thrown from the car. Mr.. Crane was
not injured.
After their examination of Mr.. Har-
vey's injuries. the physicians an.
nOunced that no bones had been
roken.
The physicians issued the following
bulletin on Mr.. Harvey's condition at
noon:
There was a confusion Of the
dorso lumbar region. The patient
must remain in bed several days. No
serious complications are anticipated"
Mr.. Harvey regained consciousness
shortly after the accident. He was
badly shaken up and was sufferinL
rom the shock when put to bed.
As soon as Premier BRAND learned
of the accident he FASTENED to the
Carlton to ascertain the extent Of Mr.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-01-09

Harvey's injuries and to express his
sympathy.
Mr.. Steed's injuries were described
as apparently more serious than those
sustained by the American diplomat"
The chauffeur Of the Harvey car
and a private detective who was in
the automobile were thrown out. but
were not hurt.
So violent was the impact of the two
cars that the rear wheels of Mr.. Har-
vey's automobile were smashed.
Herrick to Be Substitute.
Ambassador Myron T. Herrick prob
ably will take over the duty Of repre-
senting the United States at the Can
mes conference until Ambassador
George Harvey RECEIVERS from the In
juries sustained in an automobile &C.
cfdent. II was said at the State De-
partment today. s..s-s
Herrick is familiar with the work,
having been at Cannes when the par
ley first begun, and in intimate touch
with the developments that led UP to
the meeting.
The State Department received con-
firmation Of Colonel Harvey's injury
from the American embassy in Paris
this morning. The State Depart
ment's advices were virtually the
same as press dispatches, merely
stating that Colonel Harvey had been
painfully, though not seriously, in
tured. The departments advices said
Colonel Harvey would have to remain
In bed for several days.
