Until late in the afternoon OF this

astrology. Mercury. Saturn and ths
sun are all In benefic aspect. Uranus
and Mars are adverse after sundoyn.
Strings toward creative writing
should be obeyed at this time when
authors should benefit greatly.
This is a favorable sway for N,
making out OF accounts and the col.
lection OF money.
Leases and contracts signed today
should be especially fortunate, max.
ing for long effect that will be
profitable.
Real estate has a particularly
promising direction OF the stars
today. Movements toward colonlza.
tion on scientific lines again are
prognosticated
The sun gives friendllness 20 those
that have been favored in life and
for that reason It Is an auspicious
time for less fortunate persons 10
ask help or support.
1t Ia a favorable rule under which
TO seek positions or promotions.
There will be many political fayou
sought at this time.
Personalities rather than parties
may serve to decide elections IN the
autumn. II the stars are read Alright.
There is persis,ently the aspect
that betokens possible war. Many
gestures, military and naval will
mark the summer.
Public opinion will be greatly
disturbed by many sorts OF propa-
ganda, much of which IL dangerous
to the common veal.
The president IL likely to be great
| ly harassod by serious problems that
cause him TO be severely judged.
The death Of famous army Of
flcer is foreshadowed and It may
be the cause for much gossip.
Persons whose birthdate II is
should have a prosperous year in
business, but they must not take
any risks. Those who are employed
will be lucky.
Children born on this day ers
likely TO be clever. generous and
popular. They should have unusual
talents that they will use wisely.
