The map above tells the story. The Phoenicians founded Carthage about 800 B. C. and 200 years later Greeee founded Cyrene. | Three hundred years later, Alexander the Great marched to the Nile and left his name to a new city, | Alexandria. Rome capped these European excursions into Africa by consolidating the northern part of the continent after the fall of Carthage in 146 B. C. Arabs, in the seventh century, swept the Romans out of control. Nine hundred years later the Turks supplanted the Arabs, but land-hungry Europeans would not be denied. Vasco de Gama, the Portuguese, led the vanguard of European explorers and traders when he sailed around southern Africa in 1498. He was followed closely by English, Spaniards, Dutch, French and Danes. Rival powers soon began seizing territory. European holdings at the outbreak of the World War | ranked as follows: British, French, German, Belgium, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Independ- ent terrritory, including Ethiopia and Liberia, comprised less than one-twentieth of the continent. Germany's colonies went to the Allies as the result of the World War. The outbreak of the Ethiopian war found Africa divided as follows: Britain, 4,334,000 squite’" miles; France, 4,200,000; Belgium, 930,000; Portugal, 788,000; Italy, 630.00 Ethiopia (independent), 350,- 000; m 140,000; Liberia (independent), 40,000, s The B.

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. It is primarily a planetary government most auspicious for the ambitions and ideals of women. The stars encourage all forms of hospitality and especially those that bring together men and women of wide interests in literature or poli- tics. Many distinguished foreign visitors who come on important mis- sions will be entertained in the next few weeks. Young persons of both sexes should benefit while this planetary government prevails. Love affairs blossom under its friendly vibra- tions. There is a sign that is believed fortunate for shopping. Dealers in wearing apparel, jewels paint- ings and luxuries of many sorts should profit. Again salitary changes in man- ners and morals are forecast. The pendulum which has encouraged liberty as well as license will swing back to more decorous standards of behavior. This is an auspicious day for conferences with professors or oth- er persons who may guide the car- eers of the rising generation. There is a promising sign for many who seek employment. The evening is read as most fortunate for those who write let- ters or sign legal papers. Love | missives may be numerous under the inspiring influence of the plan- ets. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune. Advancement in profes- sional or business affairs may be expected. Pleasure in new friend-| | ships is indicated. Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly forceful in| character and able to succeed. Sub- Jjects of this sign usually are strong- ly individual.
