What I TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

The planetary aspects of tomorrow
are. on the whole, good, although
just prior to noon, and again a little
after sundown, indications point to
short and transitory periods of rest
lessness and anxiety. Although, too,
the signs are moderately favorable,
they do not justify the initiation of
any radical changes, or breaking
away from settled routine. Rather
do they counsel more steady and in
telligent attention to customary du-
ties, and. along these lines. greater
success than usual can be achieved.
The influences will prove to be quite
beneficial for all diversions. either in
the home or family circles, and there
will not be sensed any grouchiness or
lack Of good spirit.
A child born tomorrow, if a boy,
will be endowed with a rugged con-
Stitution, and will be able easily to
withstand the effects of any slight
ailments from which he might suf-
fer. On the other hand. girl will
have more than her fair share of sick
ness. Given, however, properly regu-
lated nutrition and ample outdoor eX-
ercise, she will outgrow all early
robust girlhood. In character, both
boy and girl will display signs of
similarity. They will be far from
perfect, but underlying all their pee
cadillos there will be found strength
of purpose. loyalty. and an enduring
affection for all those near and dear
to them.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are hasty and quicktempered, and
very often, in the heat of sudden pas
sion, do and say things that you after
ward very much regret. You, on
gaining your normal sense of proper
tion, are ready to express sorrow
and prepared to do anything to adjust
the difference that your hastiness
may have caused This. however,
does not always succeed in completely
harmonizing disturbed conditions.
Kind words, it is true. can never die
Unkind words, too. have an unfortu-
nate knack of being remembered.
You, of course, are nervous, and
your Informed judgments are often
less the result of thought than Of
impulsiveness. This condition, which
could be easily rectified by a firm
resolution to do so. is all the more
unfortunate, as on those occasions
when you take time to deliberate and
to think, your judgment is generally
good and your conclusions are accu-
rate.
You have, usually, a very genial
disposition. combined with a keen
sense of humor. which insures for
you the affection of your associates
and renders you popular. Your love
is liable to be tempestuous
Well known persons born on that
date are:
Franklin Pierce, fourteenth Presi-
dent of the United States; William
Dennison, statesman; Josiah D. Whit
ney, geologist and educator; John w.
Ellis, jurist and ex-governor of North
Carolina Fanny Ward, actress; G.. B.
Mcclellan, ex-mayor, New York.

Cenechiro Yamada is one of the
coming generation in Japan, mere
lad, but moved by an impulse so big
as to thrill other lands, an impulse
that should throb out over the face
of The waters and from every broad :

Is this an exaggerated statement ?
Well. here is what the impulse did
for him: his father had given him
for his yearly allowance of spending
money what would be the equiva-
lent of a dollar and a half. The i'm
pulse came to him that those who re-
ceive should give. All Of that an
nuaf allowance he forwarded to the

consequent upon the Santa Barbara
earthquake, he recalling 1.-THE great

ioyed was evident from the ripples
of laughter that began almost as
soon as the curtain rose and con-
tinued to the end, as well as by the
generous applause that followed the
close of each act. The men OF the
Cast were guests at Applehurst over
night, where they were Joined by the
