What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aries.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
excellent until a little after noon,
when they undergo complete
change, becoming overcast and ad-
verse. This condition obtains until
after dusk, when the aspects assume
benign character, without being ac-
lively favorable. If there be any
thing demanding immediate action or
resolution it should, of course, re-
ceive your attention in the morning,
and whatever is attempted in this
brief space of time promises success
full results. For the balance Of the
day only the carrying out of routine
or customary duties is recommended,
as there will be sensed sluggishness
that is rot conducive to progressive
thought or effort.
Children born tomorrow are, accord
ing to the signs, destined to escape
most of the vicissitudes of infancy.
This, however, does not obviate the
necessity of careful nutrition as, with
out this, they will not be in the best
position to resist the ailments that
will, in all probability, cause much
anxiety in the period of adolescence.
In disposition they will be pleasing
and attractive. They will readily ac-
commodate themselves to circum-
stances and rarely, if ever, complain.
They do not promise to be aggressive.
but will possess philosophical minds
and this condition will prevent them
from worrying.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have many excellent traits but they
are all overshadowed by the facility
with which you can conjure up diff
ficulties that will never happen and
troubles that will never occur. No
matter how good a prospect may be,
no matter how safe a venture may
appear, you always create in your
own mind insuperable obstacles to
success that would not occur to any
one possessing an ordinary sangulne
temperament. You could, and would,
accomplish much more in life If you
were Il little more disposed to await
trouble. rather than to anticipate 1t.
You possess a good degree of in
tellectual ability, combined with tenac-
ity of purpose and perseverance.
Your unreasonable fear, however. of
what might happen dulls the edge OF
effort
Your home life probably is happy.
and should be ideally so if you are
mated with one born in June or De
cember.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Mary l.. Booth, author;
Wayne MacVeagh, lawyer and politi-
clan; Leo Rassieur, lawyer and sol
der; John Uri Lloyd, chemist.

ORIGIN OF CHEEKY

William Goddard of MINNEAPOLIS

Bill" of Elkdom; and his CHEEKY
salutation. which has found it's way
around the world, originated in
Minneapolis during the Elks' Nation
al Convention in that city in 1897.
Mr.. Goddard was treasurer of the
Minneapolis Lodge, chairman of the
finance committee, and a member OF
great many other committees that
had In charge the arrangements for
the Elks' reunion that year, and he
spent much time at the committee
headquarters.
When visiting Elks came to head
quarters to inquire about various
matters, If they happened to meet
anyone who was not fully posted
they were generally told to go over
there and ask Billy Goddard" and
it was constant stream of BILLY
can you tell me this?" "See Billy
he knows" etc. This was repeated
so necessarily that the stranger Elks,
when they approached Mr.. Goddard
greeted him with the expression,
Hello, Bill"
In a day or two the custom spread
to the streets with Elks from all
parts of the country, and, in passing
each other, they sang our cheerfully.
Hello, Bill" and they carried the
greeting back to their home lodges;
and so 1t has spread to the end of
the earth.

MEAsuRINo A MAN

(By John F. Connell. Albany, N. ~
There are many standards by
which a man may be judged. First
of all you may gauge, II you will. by
the yard stick of financial achieve
ment, or measure by q more subtle
standard Of personal appraisal. The
surest and best test perhaps Is the
opinion Of those nearest to that man.
Such an audit and appraisal never
fails.
When you find that the man who
can win and hold the confidence and
affection of old friends, boyhood
chums and classmates, you can feel
mighty sure that man Is worth
knowing. Doubly so when he enjoys
no less the heartfelt esteem and re-
elbows in ordinary workaday paths
of commerce. Here, indeed, is a man.
Measured by the lineaments Of ac-
complishments, or assayed by the
finer test of the crucible Of character.
the subject Of this appreciation Is q
man.
First of all, he is just what he al
ways has been-a regular fellow.
friendly, kind, unassuming, whom
success has not spoiled nor rewards
inflated; he still holds those pristine
friendships of dating back to child
hood; his closest circle of intimates
number those who have known him
longest.
Because he is able and swinging a
big job in great way, he finds him :
self enjoying to an increasing extent,
the business friendships of other big
executives. who discern in him the
capacity of real leadership and who
are glad to lend cooperation and sup
port one does not sordidly evaluate.
