Horoscope
WEDNESDAY. MARCH y: 1s:.

EHhHhNH lbs@.
Astrologers read this as an ex-
ceedingly doubtful day in planetary
direction. Mercury, Uranus and
Mars are still in mildly evil as
pect.
1t is time for pursuing routine
duties and for avoiding ventures of
every sort. Speculation might be
unfortunate today.
During this sway the mind may
be susceptible to influences making
for suspicion, envy and discomfort.
For this reason it is we'll to main
tain a positive, cheerful attitude of
mind.
Bad tidings that affect individ-
Ials as well as the national veal
are foreshadowed in this direction
of the stars which seems to indi-
cate that the people should awaken
to the need of practicing thrift.
Quarrels are to be avoided at this
time which may be exceedingly dis
tUrbing to the mental equilibrium.
Under the sinister influence of
Mars in unfriendIy power material
standards of life rule and all the
lower attributes of man are en-
phasizcd.
There Is a sign that is read as
pTesaging movement of troops and
some sort of a military gesture on
the part of the United States.
Riots and internal troubles are
toreshadowed as part of, the indus
trial unrest that will be apparent
with the advance Of spring.
The rising Of Mercury and IRA
nus in the sign of Pisces is held
to indicate renewed activity amons
students of the occult. The Pacific
Coast will be most hospitable to all
FERNS of physical research.
Women are warned against har.
boring too>many ambitions. for the
stars as they are posted are likely
&c stir feminine minds to large en-
tcrprises.
Grave crises for Great Britain are
read by astrologers who prophesy
that the coming summer will be a
period of severe test for the gov.
eminent.
