Am- erican vessels might sell their catch- in Canadian perts, and Cal dian vessels in Ametrican ports. Joseph P. McMurtney, who served in the capacity of stenographer to Capt.

The morning is propitious for negotiating important business. Under this rule executives of bus- iness or government agencies should be disposed to aid those who ask favors. It is a lucky day to seek em- ployment. Aviation in the United States will demand attention and will receive support from the government. Handsome subsidies will enable ex- pansion Better understanding of the prob- lems of government leaders is indi- cated. The President and other gov- ernment officials should gain great- in public admiration under this configuration. Warning is *given that jealousy may be prevalent: in politics and business. The stars seem to encour- age the sort of egotism which re- tards legislative accomplishment. Writing is well directed under this rule of the stars, which favors newspapers as well as books and pericdicals. It is a lucky date for signing contracts or leases. In the evening women should ben- efit through social contacts. Hospi- talities are subject to the best as- pects and may be favorable to ro- mances among the young. This should be a carefree wed- ding day. The young will take not thought of« war clouds or economic difficulties. Marriages will be nu- merous' and the birthrate will rise in coming months. in coming months. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of mixed con- ditions which bring good fortune that may be affected by intrigues due to envy. Children born on this day proba- bly will be sturdy and independent. Subjects of this sign usually are fortunate in attaining their ambi- tions. Andrew Jackson, President of the United States, was born on this day 1787. Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday include Dame Madge Kendall, famous actre: 1849; Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, 1874.
