(Copyright. 1519.) Good and evil influences contend to- I day in the government of the stars, according: to astrology. While Mer cury and Mafs are In beneflc aspect, I Uranus is adverse. Newspapers are silbject to a rule signifying prosperity in advertising but difficulties In production will be encountered. These difficulties will develop In unexpected places. The stars are read to indicate sud den changes and startling events. Dis tinguished men will pass out of life and changes will follow their depart ure from public affairs In the new year. iTranus continues In an aspect be loved to affect the mind, making for unreason, prejudice and misjudgment, ftrhlch lead to serious consequences. This rule afreets not only individual ] affairs but national events. % The seers declare that'as long as Uranus has evil power the spirit of love and a sound mind will not prevail. According to ancfent lore a worm is i now the symbol of national extrava-1 gance. This may be interpreted to I mean that the wearing of silk is a' demonstration of the tendency toward debilitating luxuries. While the prophecies for this month may seem to bode 111 for the world astrologers declare that the signs promise emergence into peace and plenty in which there shall be less sense of an uneaual division of the; blessings of life. Weather that Is changeable and I not healthful is prognosticated. Farmers come under direction of the stars that Is most encouraging, for it seems to presage scientific co- j operation thAt brings Increase of pro duction. Education will be more important as a national issue than ever before, as- | trologer* predict, and it will concern | itself with trained muscles as well as trained minds. _ l Persons whose birthdate It is have the nugury of an active year, but they should not make any changes.

VirgSnaa Lcc's Peirs?Biail /kaswers a? fiteirald Efceadleirs9 @i8?sftii?ms tit seems that the majority of the men and boys of today do not realize to what extent they are under social obligations to the femi nine se'x. It is generally the girl who is the hostess at the little parties such as dinners, dances, teas, etc., but many a modern young man who wouldn't think of massing such an affair attends much the same' as if he had paid admission to some charity ball with all obligations at an end. It seems impossible, but piany young men are so thoughtless as to attend a party given by a young lady in their set without once asking het for a dance. Equally as rude is the boy who fails to help the hostess entertain any of her out of-town guests. Such little acts of thoughtfulness which are in reality fundamentals of social courtesy are more than appre ciated. ( > > Of course, it is not possible as a general thing for young men, especially those no longer dependent on "dad" and strug gling to make both ends meet with their promising positions to entertain extensively. Neither -is this expected, but in the weekly theater trips, dinner parties and other informal affairs a young man should include as guests those girls to whom he is under obligation. Likewise she should receivt a call from him before many days have elapsed. The young man who accepts all and offers nothing will soon lose in popularity while the extremely agreeable, thoughtful man, though possessing less of this world's goods, will never fail to be in demand.

WOMAN RUNS SAFETY RAZOR EXPORT TRADE vZANS CAWOLL What uist-is <* v?ul*iuu Aii'vv ;ibout< safety razors? Or what does she know about foreign trade? Evident ly one ot them knows considerable about both, for announcement has been made by George L Storm, chair man of the American Safety Razor Corporation, that a woman has been named general nanajer of the sub sidiary export company of that 120. 000,000 corporation. Her name is Miss Jane Carroll. She is a Cornell gradu ate, and served her apprenticeship in the study of foreign trade as foreign trade promotion manager of % the American Express Company. j American (iocda Liked. Miss Carroll has some ideas of her own about the foreign trade situation which she is going to put Into effect, j For instance, it is her belief, she j say a, that Europeans are partial to American-made goods and that the demand for merchandise made in the , United States, particularly staple ne cessities. is going to increase rapidly i within the next few years, regardless of the business recovery of Europe and the resumption of her own manu factures. Even to Sooth Sens. "We are going after the business In the smaller and- less known coun tries, too," says Miss Carroll. "Al ready we are sending safety razors and shaving accessories to Persia. In dia. South Africa, many of the islands of the South Seas. Iceland, Russia, Japan and China."

I'll tell you what I'll do." I said the Pip. generous like and t on- | fld'ng. "I'l take these two b*gs of! sugar and eat them.
