What Today Means to You
Leo.
ny MARY BLAKE.


The planetary aspects until about
noon, although favorable for ordinary
routine pursuits, do not counsel the
initiation or establishment of any
new undertaking. Great care should
be exercised in all matters relating to
correspondence or agreements. Every
effort along these lines should be
made to make your meaning precise
and clear; if not, delay-irritating
and costly-will be entailed. During
the afternoon and evening conditions
improve, but not to such an extent
as to warrant any radical action or
undetermined movement
A child born today will be vigorous
and physically strong. 1t will also
possess great determination of char
acter whilst at the same time having
an attra ctive and vivaciouS dispoSi-
tion. These qualities ii steered in
the right channels will prove of in
estimable value. If allowed, how
aver, 10 develop without proper guild
ance they will prove heavy liabilities
and handicap what otherwise would
be a very successful manhood or
womanhood
If today is your birthday you are
not worldly wise. You may not be
prosperous or famous. Your life,
however, is a full one and cherished
one, as ii is founded on -love-man-
hoods crown and woman'S diadem.
Your instincts, prompted by love,
are forgiveness, unselfishnesS, hu-
mility and moral progression.
One of your strongest characteris-
tics is resident in the power of your
example. A character such as yours.
consistently and symmetrically illu-
minated by love, possesses a glory all
its own, and all those who come into
perpetual or occasional contact with
you are encourage and inspired with
the loftiest aspirations known to the
human heart.
A life lived within the boundaries
of the land of love is a city set on a
hill which cannot be hid.
Your character readily gains access
to the hearts of men and you become
the trusted recipient of their conf
dences, heart secrets and heretofore
unspoken hopes.
Because true love understands indi-
vidual relationship and is impartial
and poised you know no such thing
as jealousy, envy, avarice or selfish
ness.
Love is the common aspect of all
human experiences and is the univer-
sal language of character.
Well known persons born on this
date are: John Eliot, missionary
Washington Hunt, Governor of New
York; John Trowbridge, physicist
Charles F. Holder. author; Jacob
Rupert, baseball magnate, and James
NJ Taylor, president of Vassar Col
Icse.

vaccinium stamineum.


The huckleberry family, vaccinia-
ceae, is composed of four genera In
North America the genus Gay assacia
contains four species of huckleberrieS
and blueberries; the genus Vaccinium
contains fifteen species of huckIeber-
.ries and blueberries, not all of which
are edible, however; the genus Chic
genes contains but one species the
creeping snowberry of the north
woods; and the genus Oxycoccus con-
tains three species, the cranberries,
best known in cranberry sauce. Ger
tainly the sour and puckery cram
berries suggest no relationship to the
sweet and mildly acid huckleberry.
The deerberry, also known as buck
berry and sQuaw huckleberry, pro-
duces green or yelloWiSh, inedible
berry. But it is for its flowers that
alone the deerberry is worthy of a
place in cultivation. These flowers
are put forth in large numbers An
entire bush in its profusion of bloom
is worthy of the song of poet. They
are delicately fragrant. Each flower
is about three -eighths of an inch
across, waxy white to purplish or
yellowish green, suspended by pen
dulous hairlike flower-stems in
many lowered, 1eafy-bracted ra-
comes. The open, bell-shaped corol-
las are deeply five-cleft. Both the
style and brown stamens are promi-
nent. protruding a quarter of an inch
beyond the corolla.
The deerberry is found in dry
woods and thickets from Maine and
Minnesota south to Florida and Lou
isiana, often in company with it's
edible fruited brothers; a low-grow-
ing, spreading shrub. two to five feet
high. The leaves are one to four
inches long, one-half to one inch
wide, oval, sharp pointed, short-pe
tioled, firm, green above, paler be-
meath.

may be seen along the drier eleya-
tions in Rock Creek Park.

ably will be urged to center his

to the mile on the Olympic program.
ordinarily would be Rays logical
event.
Observers believe that Rays chance

where he would encounter two of
Europe's best runners, Nurmi, of Fin
land, and Wide Of Sweden. Both OF
the latter during the past year have
hung up marks consistently faster
than Americas best, while Nurmi is
credited with a world mile run OF
4:1o 2 5.
There also would be added incen-
tive for Ray to run the longer event
because his principal rival probably
would be Willie Ritola. American
cross-country and ten-niIe champion,
who recently returned to represent
his native country, Finland, in the
Olympics. The pair have had several
sensational duels here, Rays 5000
