It is a good time to start on a journey whether by air, sea or land. Newspapers may contain com- ments on international relations |which will retard plans under con- sideration in Washington. The stars presage uncertainties that may be |ot little effect in the United States. Uranus is in an aspect that is read as unfavorable to unanimity of opinion. This is not a lucky sway under which to hold important con- ferences or discussions. Bankers may be exceedingly cau- {tious at this time when it may be difficult to negotiate loans. Wise men and wise women now will liqui- date holdings which incur heavy taxes. Trade and commerce are under benefic aspects. The autumn should be a period of great activity in busi ness. Merchants and manufactu: ers will reap big benefits. Oil interests now will attract ex- traordinary attention as demahds for gasoline and various by-pro- ducts increase. New wells are to ibe opened as a result of summer prospecting. Mines and mining continue un- der the best possible direction of the s Alaska, Canada and our western states are to profit. For the next month the stars pre- sage benefits for*the young and im- provements in educational methods. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good fortune. work or place of residence. Children born on this day piob- ably will be well-balanced and able to make much of life. Subjects of this sign of . Virgo usually have strong personalities. Charles G. Dawes, one-time Vice- President of the United States, was born on this day 1865.
