SATURDAY. July S. 1872.

Uranus dominates this day in
benefic aspect, according to as
trology. Jupiter and Saturn are
adverse.
II is a day in which the mind
may naturally crave change and is
most favorable for travel.
Summer resorts should benefit
greatly at this time when there is
likely to be much warm weather.
Travel by airplane is likely to be
popular as a summer means OF
amusement
An invention that will increase
confidence even among the most
timid is prophesied.
This is a favorable rule under
which to make new acquaintances
of opposite sex. Romances will be
lucky. except where wealthy men
or old women are involved.
One of the vagaries of the time
will be the tendency of women
long past youth to seek admira-
tIon and love.
During this rule there may be a
tendency toward self-pity and self
ishness. The mind should be safe
guarded against these destructive
thoughts
Books and plays of real merit
again are prophesied as a result Of
the world war. the effects being
slow to be revealed in literature.
The stars are believed to be es-
pecially powerful in their influence
on the human mind at this time and
for this reason wise men and wom-
en- will be careful to counteract evil
tendencies.
The young will be peculiarly sus-
E ceptible to planetary directions that
disturb the emotions
Much agitation concerning the re-
sponsibility of the people to the ris-
ing generation will be brough about
by sensational revelations in regard
to moral standards.
Educational methods will be Sc
verely criticised at this time. owing
to the trend toward lack of disci-
pline and license In conduct.
Persons whose birthdate IL Is
should ke careful to keep their mon
ey safe during the coming year.
Journeys that bring success appear
to be foreshadowed.
Children born on this day may be
restless and continually deslrous Of
change. but IL their energies can be
wisely directed they will succeed in
life They should be especiaIly
trained to financial responsibility.

 Without hesitation most of us would say that it is not, but the stern parent in Why Girls Leave Home" is firm in the belief that it is a sham and ingenious mode of re- yealing the backs of women.
