Good and evil planetary influences
conflict tomorrow. according to as
trology. 1t is time to watch the
mental as well as the physical step.
While all conditions may appear
promising, the rule of the stars is not
suspicious for constructive work.
There may be a sense OF futile effort
in whatever Is accomplished under
this direction of the stars, and delay
Is wise in important matters.
Under this direction of the stars,
planning should be much more salts
factory than doing. and outlines for
the future should occupy attention.
Again questions concerning the de-
velopment and exploration of oil in
terests are likely to come to the front.
The stars will smile on those who
possess the oil properties and control
production. it is forecast.
Tomorrow should be a fairly favor
able day for starting on long sea voy-
ages.
Good fortune will attend interna-
tional alliances connected with educa-
tional aims, if the seers are to be
believed. and interchange OF writer's
as we'll as students will be fortunate.
Race prejudice is to appear rapidly
in many quarters, it. is foretold, and
cooperation between persons formerly
antagonistic is prognosticated.
Commercial interests are to join the
Atlantic and the Pacific Coast in new
ties, it is prophesied.
Persons whose birth date 1t is should
be exceedingly wise in the coming
year. which will bring many tempta-
tons
Children born on that day probably
will succeed in distinctly construc-
tive work. Girls should be good exc
