 Adverse planetary aspects rule to- day, according to astrology. Affairs hang in the balance and indecision hampers many matters.

 Out of the period of transition will emerge many great achieve ments, especially in the construc- ton of conveniences for cities in the shape of bridges, tunnels and novel means of transportation.
 In place of the effort to expand and to increase in size, so com mon in the United States, there will be work toward the beautify- ing of established centers of popu- | lation and the concentration of business projects.
 Financial policies will be much discussed through the entire sum- mer, owing to some unusual con- dition that develops in Europe as well as to exactions due to our American needs.
 Men and women who are in the headlines should be careful to pro tect themselves against possible attack, for the stars presage un- usual acts of violence in streets and public assemblies.
