 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. It is a time, however, to be exceedingly cautious in financial matters.
 Foresight may be keen under this sway which is not favorable to the signing of contracts and especially adverse for international agree ments. Bitter discussion over a pact between Uncle Sam and a foreign nation is forecast.
 The planetary government is for tunate for the American air forces which will be greatly strengthened. The Pacific Coast will centralize attention in it's aviation develop ments.
 While there is a sign that assures clear vision regarding both person. al and public affairs, there will persist through the autumn re- solve to endure what cannot be easily cured.
 This should be an suspicious day for labor interests. Better under standing among leaders is indicat- ed and industry this month should show a progress towards stability and peace among workers.
 Travel cn the high seas and a widespread movement of great yes sels are forecast. American exports may show an increase, although much food will be brought in from foreign countries
 Women today should subordin- ate their personal interests. The rule encourages club organizations and peace movements. Despite pro- tests the United States will be- come involved in the next world war, the seers warn.
 Reforms in the management of hospitals, penitentiaries and other institutions supported by public funds are prognosticated. Sensa- tional disclosures are prophesied.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity. For certain ones legacies and other benefits are Indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably win be exceedingly restless and ambitious Subjects of this sign seek travel and change. Us uaily they are of sturdy, reliable character

Rx HENRY McLEMoRE

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Miami, Fla, Feb. 26.-(UP)-He lives by the condition book and the overnight entries.
 He's around 40, has a bankers weight on @ flyweight frame, and can always be found walking beat which winds from the stables to the jockeys quarters, to the paddock, to place on the rail near the fin- ish line.
 He is a jockey agent. He used to ride himself, years ago, but when age, weight, or bad spill forced him from the saddle, he turned to handling riders and selling their services.
 How It Works
 Let's use Bill Fuller as an ex- ample. That's not his name, but he's typical of the profession. Been around the tracks 20 years. Had @ leg up himself for 15 years of that span, but a nasty spill down in Maryland cracked up his legs and he had to hang up his tack. Been an agent ever since, and managed to make enough to keep him in three squares a day, with enough left over to put down a flyer or a tenner when he heard of something really good.
 Bill hustles like the devil. He has to, for he only gets g for each mount one of his boys rides. And sometimes when he has only one rider under his wing, he's got to gel the kid place in three or four spots an afternoon to show much profit Bills two-spot doesn't seem SC skimpy, however, when you remem- Der that 1t represents one-fifth oof what the jockey gets for ride. For the usual races which fill 8 tracks card, a jockey gets $l0. If he wins he gets $l5, and Bill gets $3. Out of the $lO the jockey must pay $5--

To-day:S Sports Parade

two to his agent, two to his valet, and $1 for laundry. That leaves only five, which isn't much when you consider the work and the dan- ger involved in piloting nearly half a ton of horseflesh around a track.
 And the jockey must lay some of that five away, too, for he has ex- penses. His tack costs money, and he has to furnish it. The stables he rides for furnish nothing but the silks-the cap and blouse. His boots, pants, stock, whip, saddle, and saddle cloth are his own re- sponsibility.
 Bills work, in a small way, is the same as that of a theatrical agent. He has a star, or what he considers 8 star, and he must peddle him. The condition book is his bible. The condition book is nothing more than 8 layout of the races for the next 10 days or so, and is issued by the track. It gives the conditions-that is the distance, weight, kind of horses (maidens, Allies, three-year- olds, two-year- etc0-of the coming races. Armed with this, Bill works the stables after the manner of a house-to-house canvasser. Knowing horses, and the horses the various stables have, from A to z, he can pretty well figure which horses the stables are likely to run in the future.
 Psychology Stuff
 And he tries to sell his boy, or boys, as the rider. If stable has a horse which is fractious at the post, he tries to convince the stable that his boy is the greatest hand at the barrier since the beginning of time. The next stable may require boy who is adept with two-year-olds, and Bill must sell his rider as the sweetest, smartest, jock who ever nursed a youngster down the straightaway. By the time he fin- ishes 8 tour of the stables, Bill will have painted his boy as the greatest all-around jockey who ever climbed up the side of horse.
 Bill has to be at the track each morning when the entries for the following day are released. Mounts he had arranged for may have been scratched, or others unexpectedly named. The competition is pretty keen, for all jockeys have agents, even the top boys who are under contract to stables. The contract chaps are free to free lance when their own stables don't need them.
 There are lots of headaches con- nected with the job of agent, the least of which is the squawking by the trainers when a jockey turns in a bad ride, or what they considered a bad ride. Bill says they never think of raising hell with the jockey, but always make for the agent who peddled him. You gotta have plenty of excuses, and good ones, he says.

Football Huskies Give New Coach Thrill; Staff
 Nearly Complete
By FRANK MURPHY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

NOAAhSEAA ACDB 0bBA4 OWEA 1NyWhAtAGAAO Boston, Feb. 26-(UP)-Maybe it was the New England atmosphere but Gil Dobie failed to live up to that gloomy philosopher" title in his public bow as coach of football at Boston College.
 There was nothing peSsirnistic or woe-begone about the tall, kindly man who faced 500 told grads" at an uptown hotel last night and, after an amusing review of his career as player and coach, promised to give B. o. fighting football team.
 Had the former Cornell coach chosen to portray the dour role tra- ditionally linked with his name, the varied gloom chasers on hand would have proven overpowering.
 Laid It On
 Dobie's brother coaches all but nominated him for Pulitzer Nobel prize for his successes at Washing ton, Navy and Cornell.
 Dick Harlow of Harvard, Fuss McLaughry of Brown, Eddie Ander- son of Holy Cross, Joe Magee of Providence, Bill Cowell of New Hampshire, Pat Hanley of Boston University, and Al Mccoy of North eastern were among those who took part in the battle of compliments, as Lou Little of Columbia, Fritz Crisler of Princeton and other ab- sentees telegraphed their praise.
 After the battle the guest of hon. or was almost gloomy-for fear he was being built up Q little too high.
 If the barrage of coaches coni- pliments wasn't enough to keep Gil cheerful, the master of ceremonies had an impressive array of Boston College football talent parade in front of the new head coach as they received sweaters, varsity letters, and freshmen numerals for 1885.
 Boys Looked Good
 Dobie's interest in the proceedings quickened at sight of some of the huskies he'll have to work with, and Gil must have been struck favorably, as well, by the cosmopolitan charac- ter of their names. To mention few who'll be back, there were Sweeney, Di Natale, Martwoski, Connolly, Gintoff, Horsfall, Allen, Tortolini, Keough, Pszenny, Worth, Ferdenzi, Cahill and Jivelikian.
 Typical Irish!
 Dobie will return to Boston Col lege to lead his new charges in spring practice early in April. He will continue the workouts longer than ordinary to acquaint himself with the material. Coaches Harry Downes and Bill Ormsby will be re- tained by Dobie, the former as line or freshman coach and Ormsby as end coach. Dobie may bring one of his former Cornell assistants here as backfleld coach, which would complete the B. o. coaching staff.
