Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable until little after noon.
They then become overcast and adj
verse, ana remain 80 for the balance
Of the day. In the morning there
will be sensed feeling Of elation, and
vibrations Of q stimulating nature win
be present. 1t win be found to be
an excellent opportunity for the clos
ing Of deals that, for some reason or
other. have been hanging FIRE. It
Is also suspicious for putting into
effect any changes that will make
for the betterment Of present corr
the exhtlaration Of the morning, and
then only obligatory duties should
receive your attention.
Children born tomorrow win enjoy
normal physical conditions during in.
fancy but more than usual care should
be given to their nutrition, as on this
will depend very much their ability to
overcome the siege OF sickness that,
according to the signs, win be their
lot in their teens. Their dispositions
will leave much to be desired, al they
will prove to be not only evastve,
but very argumentative. Although,
too, most young people are inclined
to believe that they know much more,
and know 1t better, than their elders.
these children will have this over
weening confidence In themselves IN
a very exaggerated form.

have imagination which, at times. ins
fiuences your judgment to an appre-
ciable degree, and, at other times,
You are ambitious and energetic

REINSTATEMENT ID
 BE SENT ID JAIL
Baltimore Judge to Punish
 Those Who Violated Order

Baltimore, Md, May 26 P-The managing editors of two Baltimore newspapers along with three mem bers of their staffs, are facing sub stantial jail sentences" because they place their duty to readers and employers" ahead of a court order.
 The promise of such action was given Harold E. Elliston and Earl $. De Land, managing editors re- spectively of the News" and Amer ican,' Harry Clark. city editor of the News" and two camera men, William Sturm and William Klemm. by Judge Eugene O'Dunne in crimi- nal court yesterday. The nevspa- permen were cited for contempt of court, when both papers published pictures of the Richard Reese Whit temore murder trial last week, after Judge O'Dunne had forbidden the taking of such photographs in the courtroom.
 Public interest in the case and its 4''A ECl ''AilNC uNllltlllio llldI tdCll OI the defendants be sent to jail for substantial sentences, the judge told the newSpapernen after Mir. Ellis ton had admitted 10 the court that he ordered pictures taken "as a mat ter of duty to readers and to my employers"
 The fifteenth century jailing of the Prince Of Wales later Henry the Fifth of England. was cited by at torneys as a precedent for the im- position of jail sentences.
 "The authority of the court was fatly and lagrantly challenged" Judge ODunne stated Tt is my duty to determine whether the news papers may run the courts or whether the court may make its own rules and administer them"
 Delay in pronouncing sentence was caused, he said. only because he wished to determine whether the de- fcndants could appeal his decision. If he found that he were sitting as sole arbiter in the case, the sen- tonces would be moro lenient, he said. In the meantime, he offered the defendants this delay 10 lar range their affairs" 10 secure new evidence, or to cite additional law that might change his mind.
 "I shall act finally and fully to- da" ono week." was his grim con" 'lusion.

1.-THE CHARM SCHOOL

A very clever comedy, "The Charm School" will be presented at the Y. W. c. A, tomorrow evening at 8 D. m., under the auspices of the Beacon High School Girl Re- serve club. The plot centers around Austin Bevans, an automobile sales
 man, (played by Bliss Clark) whose aunt bequeaths a girls boarding
 school to him. This gives Bevans chance to employ four of his friends as teachers at the school. Their project in education is to teach the
 girls charm. Tho school uniforms and dull subjects are soon dispensed with, and dancing classes and lec- lures on clothes take their place. Tho pupils have a most interesting and amusing time with their new professors and many situations and difficulties arise with a romance at the end. Even MT. Bevans, the head of the school, who has made a wager that no girl will fall In love with
 him, falls victim to the charm of Elise, the president of the Senior class (played by Mildred Limp. The trying times which Miss Curtis
 (played by Virginia Gordon) suffers during the reconstruction of the school form a humorous section of the play Mir. Bliss Clark makes a very stern, but relenting, principal. Miss Virginia Gordon is q very ner- vous, and fussy assistant, and Miss

AT THE NEW PALACE

Barbara LaNarr who was known as the most beautiful brunette in America appears at the New Palace with England's most beautiful blonde in The White Monkey"
 There are two love stories in this picture, each set in widely divergent spheres. Barbara LaMarr appears in one of her best roles as Fleur, the pampered daughter of English aristocracy who with every normal Whim and need satisfied peers long ingly into the vague future trying to discern what life still holds for her Like the white monkey in the peculiar Chinese painting, she loses her chance of happiness, in the vain attempt to obtain more than her righttul share from life.
 Much different is the case of Vic torine, the English blonde. Life, which has withheld from her all but the barest necessities of existence, in a magnanimous moment gave her the adoring and faithful love of Bicket, an employe of Fleur's hus- band, who steals in order that his wife may have the comforts during her illness.
 The companion feature for the two days is Fred Thomson in Hands Across the Border" Silver King the wonder horse of the screen has a considerable part in the plot of the story and this combination of stars is bound to win many more to their already large list of fans in New Britain.
