HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, MAY .

This u day unimportant In
planetary direction. The morn
ing Is suspicious for workers al
though they may be subjected
to disturbing suggestions. Much
misapprehension regarding poll
tical and industrial conditions Is
significd.
Heart and Home: This Is not
lucky day for starting friend
ships OF any sort and Ii not
promising to girls who desire
romance. Under this configura-
ton women may be uncertain in
plans and inclined to be timor-
Gus regarding financial matters.
Both the young and the old
should be thrifty and yet not
unduly economical.
Business Affairs: Prosperity
will continue in the United
States where new millionaires
will gain prominence. There will
be employment in new industries
developing from novel discover
les or inventions. Condensed
foods ana durable fabrics will
be widely sold before the end
of the summer.
National Issues: Words light
~ spoken may become slogans of
political influence at this time
when wise candidates will keep
on saying nothing" ISLANDERS
will multiply and the radio may
cause a major campaign sensa-
ton. A Wit may be misquoted
to his undolng at a national con-
vention.
international Affairs: Because
the supreme possibilities Of mod
ern warfare are recognized by
the heads OF nations now en-
gagged In conflict the full might
Of men and machines viii be
withheld. II Is foretokened. The
spring time which means revi-
val Of life will be a period in
which many men, women and
children die. but neutral ma.
ton IN time viii compel a cessa,
tion OF hostilities. II is vaticin-
ated by foreign sstrologer.
Persons whose birthdate IL i
have the sugury OF a year Of
good fortune Those engaged In
artistic pursuits win prosper.
Children born on this da,
probably will be highly intellee
tusl, resourceful and industrious
They may be difficult To guid'
or eyen 10 understand.
