Good news may be expected under { this configuration. The stars encourage commercial enterprises and promise profit | through merchandising.

Many big govern- ment contracts are prognosticated land huge purchases of metals and | raw materials are forecast. Girls may expect unusual pleas- ure through social affairs this eve- { ning. Young men are likely to be ex- ! ceedingly susceptible to feminine |charms. Love affairs will flourish { rapidly. Plans for important buildings on Ithe Pacific Coast are presaged Training schools for soldiers and | sailors are prophesied by the seers. | As the United States reaches fore- | most place among the world powers, | a greatly augmented army and navy will be imperative, it is declared. A London astrologer foretells set- tlement of labor difficylties in the United States and ‘the probable uniting of two great organizations. This will be the preliminary to tre- mendous economic adjustments. Washington, D. C., comes under an adverse aspect that seems to presage unusual vibrations from M Bitter conflicts of ideas may be evident in Congress, but the government is to gain strength. ‘Prm,\'e for foreign policies and im- provement in domestic conditions are prophesied.
