For Our Children

The true pioneers of any and
every generation of human beings are
Its children. The pioneers of former
age was an individual generally pos
sessed of an enterprising disposition.
His curiosity urged him to discover
and investigate the new. He was
called upon to adjust himself to new
conditions. AS the pioneer community
developed, he was compelled to curb
the instincts of the frontiersmen, to
acquire and exercise the power of
Self-control.
The developing child, too, constant
y moves into new territory-that of
living. Far more so than in the case
of the adult, each added calendar day
is filled for the child with number
of brand new experiences, with
choices it has never faced before, and
decisions to be made which are i'm
portant because they serve as founda-
tion stones in the building of char
acter. Your child of today is hard put
in the matter of acquiring skills
which enable it to adapt itself to new
conditions, because of the unpreced-
ented rapidity with which changes,
today, are taking place constantly in
nearly every phase of social endeavor

liN1Dh ACOO Good luck attends many under this planetary government, accord ling to astrology This is day in which the majority of persons, however, should proceed with eau tion in all important affairs. While this configuration prevails there may be sense of unrest and dissatisfaction. The impulse :, to criticise may cause quarrels l It is not a day for making de- cisions of future significance. In fact, this is inauspicious for begin 'nings of any sort. Employees should ' be careful to avoid mistakes, for lthey will be harshly judged under lthis sway
 Women are under an unfavorable rule which may make them diff cult to direct in business The wise will attend to their tasks with spe- cial care at this time. Again competition between men and women for places of distinc- ton will be bitter. Girls who are trained for business may have un- usual obstacles to overcome at this time, but later their services will be in great demand
 Love affairs may be unlucky un- der this direction of the stars which makes deceit and intrigue more pre- valent than usual. The year will be marked by increase of unhappy marriages. Gossip may be more general and more cruel than usual under this planetary government. RumorS af- fecting prominent men and women will multiply as scandals gain at tention.
 Governments as well as individu- uals will suffer from evil report. A financial collapse will cause a worldwide sensation, it is foretold.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of great haZ- ards and sudden changes. Busi- ness should prosper and they should benefit by the passage of Jupiter through the solar sign.
 Children born on this day may be impatient towards control, but unusually talented. These Aquar- ians may gain success of the first order
