Again benefic aspects will' rule to
morrow, according to astrology, which
reads much good luck while the con
figuration prevails.
Schools and colleges should benefit
•specially on that day, which seems
to presage tremendous intellectual
progress for the pew year.
Under this direction of the stars the
mind is supposed to become exceed
ingly alert and to attain clarity as well
as activity.
The rule favors the development of
aviation and seems to presage much
commercial use of airplanes and bal
loons.
Practical progress Is to supersede
adventurous experiment in aerial nav
igation, the seers prophesy, but dan
ger of some sort will be responsible
for rapid improvement.
The Orient will offer new diplo
matic problems.
Engagements to marry are supposed
to be especially lucky under this di
rection of the stars, which seems to
promise long prosperity’ *as well as
loyalty. >,
This is a benefic sway for actors,
who are to find the. public more than
usually cordial.
New stago stars are* foretold and
they will attain fame as much through
technique and through training as
through talent. '
Thanksgiving this year may bring
uncertain and even stormy weather
to many parts of the country, astrol
ogers announce.
Music and musicians are splendidly
eMireqrted while this rule prevails, and
♦"artists may expect a season of great

Again a disaster at sea is foretold.
Revere storms of most unusual char
acter are indicated.
Persons whose birth date it is may
look forward to much enjoyment
through society and cultural recrea
tions. _
Children born on that day probably
will -be exceedingly self-willed and
determined. Subjects of this sign often
defeat their own best interests through
stubbornness. • . » •
