HOROSCOPE.
MONDAY. JANUARY 10, 1922.

Conflicting planetary influences
rule this day, according to astrol-
ogy. While Jupiter and Mars are
in benefic aspect, Uranus is adverse.
1t is a sway under which there is
likely to be a steady stimulation
toward commercial activity, but the
judgment may not be trustworthy.
There is sign presaging greater
and greater honors for the Presi-
dent of the United States who is
subject.to Jupiter. He is to see the
fruition of all his most important
plans.
The government of the stars is
promising to all who exercise au-
thority, giving them power to COM
mand without arousing ,antagonism.
There Is to be a steady increase
of building everywhere in the coun-
try. the western coast leading.
Surgeons and physicians are to
have prosperous year in which
they benefit by new sciehtifc dis
coveries.
The military service is TO be for
tunate in readjustments and reor-
ganization proceedings
Irrigation and reclamation are to
bring added prosperity to the coun-
try in the coming springtime.
Mars presages much energy In
political work and indicates organ
ization widespread and effective.
Again the seers announce that
Jupiter is in place most fortunate
Tor Germany. and the German peo-
pie. ~
All the auguries for 1922 seem
to promise business revivals that
will insure rapid development and
growth in many parts of the coun-
try.
The death Of a famous man Is
forecast for the end of the month.
Persons whose birthdate Il Is
should not make any radical
changes In the coming year. They
should be careful not to waste time
for thus they, will insure success.
Children born on this day may be
strongly inclined to travel and ad-
venture. They are likely to be
thoughtful. serious ana iRdustrSous.

EMBARRASSING MOMENTS

The most embarrassing moment
of my whole life happened about a
year ago in a local candy store.
where 1 was drinking a soft drink
and casually smoking a cigarette.
As l was just about to flick the
ashes off. q young lady passed me
and received the fire and ashes both
on the back of her coat all, unbe-
known to her. As I perceived the
fire. and not wanting to burn a hole
in the coat, Immediately started to
brush them away, wherewith she
turned. gazed at me and haughtily
inquired, "Sir, how dare your" 1t
was then that l realized the thing
had happened without her known
edge, and amidst the laughing of
the crowd in the store l humbly
made my exit. C. NJ.
