WEDNESDAY, JUNE ., II

God and evil influences contend
this day. according to astrology.
Uranus and Saturn are in benefic as
pect. while Neptue ad Mercury are
adverse.
This rule should be especially
helpful to persons past middle,<li
making for clear mentality and az
cess of physical strength.
Warning Is given that the seers
prophesy an increase of manias or
mental afflictions. especially OF
those growing out of egotism and
lack of self control.
The seers declare that nervous
diseases will be even more preva-
lent than formerly and that many
persons who appear sane will cause
sorrow by erratic and unstable con-
duct.
The rule is fortunate for whN-
ever has to do with the finer pow
ers of the mind and should stimu =
late religious aspiration.
This Is a favorable direction of
the stars for aviation and should
enable persons who bear military
responsibilities to understand its re-
lation to certain future events now
developing.
Attention'is called to the prophe-
sizes read from the annular eclipse
of the Sun. March %. when 1t was
foretold that Egypt would suffer
from grave internal distur ances
and India would be a scene Of un-
rest.
Drought and crop failures next
season in Australia should cause
caution and wisdom in manaking
business relations with that coun-
try.
The autumn Is likely to be a
time of serious moment to the gov
ernment at Washington. Personai
danger to the President is possible.
Neptune is in an evil aspect sup
posed to encourage deceit and indi-
rection.
There is a sign believed to en-
courage editors to deceive the pub
lief on political questions.
War will be recalled this month
in more than. one way. astrologers
predict.
Persons whose birthdate II Is have
the forecast of a successful year
in business. Travel is indicated, but
1. is well to be careful in choosing a
companion.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be bright and affectionate. but
inclined to be disturbed by small

U. S. Steel Retains

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-United
States Steel Corporation has sold
none Of its Liberty bonds. 1t was
said here today. Its holdings of
these securities, which constitute
the greater part of its $131 ,462 SOL
marketable security holdings, are
still intact.
This disposes Of the report that
the corporation was selling Libertys
with view Of using proceeds to re-
tire part of its own $174,326, 900
second mortgage bonds. As these
bonds are callable at 110 and pay
5 per cent such a transaction would
appear to be unbusinesslike. And
it would not affect U. s. Steel's

WINS N BALTIMORE
Four Out Of Five Prominent
