Pisoces. to guard against disap- to avold differences and to eliminate useless bickering, it Is| most _essential that —tomorrow you exercise more than ordinary self- ontrol and make, whenevet the oc- casion may demand it, an effort to restraln_impulses that, if yielded to. may lead to regrettable speech or ac- tion. The aspects are dlsconcerting In their nature and fall to register any propitious or favorable indica- tions. It were better to “mark time" but still keep In step while dolng so. Business worrles will assume a pro- portion out of keeping with thelr in- trinsio importance and household cares will be unnecessarily burden- some. By maintdining poise and not losing one’s head:the worries will be minimized and the cares dissipated. The birth of a child, at a time when such untoward conditions pre - vail, will not necessarily affect elther its physical or its moral future. On the contrary, the signs clearly indi- cate that, save for a few minor afl- ments during infancy, it will be physically healthy and strong. Its disposition will be generous and its character reveal strength, tinged with obstinacy. It promises to be studious and _will, undoubtedly, possess more than normal intelli- gence, finding greater pleasure in a %ood book than in the fascinating fields of sport or recreation. Con- stant association with children of its own age will benefit its nature gnd help to destroy the reclusive habits that it will otherwise acquire. Is tomorrow your birthday? If so. it can be very reasonably assumed that you are often groping in the dark to discover why fortune has not smiled more benignly and more fre- quently on you and your efforts. Self-examinagion will reveal to you that, although ot lacking in average intelligence, integrity of purpose and great ambition, you have not travel- ed as far as vou think you should have gone on the road to your ulti- mate goal—the one that you have often Vfsualized but have not realized. C oser and more searching Introspec- tion will convince you that the prin- cipal factor that has mitigated agalnst you and your opportunities has been sluggichness of perception and thé ever-present tendency towacd procrastination. Qulck judgmentw, based.on impulse or Intuftion, often invite results quite different from those anticipated. Decisions unduly delayed, or action unwisely post- poned, as a conséquence of ultra- conservatism and timidity, cause in- action or lack of progress. Well known persons born on this date are: Bellamy Storer, jurist; Edwin Forrest, actor; Leland Stan- ford, founder of university; Guy V. Henry, soldier, first governor gen- eral of Porto Rico; Edward G. Acheson, ~manufacturer, dnventor; Eddle Foy, actor. (Copyright, 1925.) In order pointment, e health; T.

STOCKHOCLM, February 18.—Hap; homes for the living instead of flow ers for the dead, is the aim of the Swedish “Flower Fund” drive that has just scorea its first signal triumph in the laying of the cornerstone of = large building designed exclusively for the aged and infirm, who other- wise might have to end their deys in the poorhouse. The idea of such a fond was launched about four years ago by Miss Alma Hedin, sister of Sven Hedin, the explorer, and now, thanks to many small contributions in leu of floral tributes at funerals, enough money has been procured to guaran- tee the financing of the first building. Others will be started later. The first will contain 69 suites of one and fwo rooms with kitchen. For 22 of these the rent has been fixed at $40 a vear and for the others the rates will be determined by the cost The tenants will be people who can- not afford to pay regular rents, but who wish to avold humiliation of seeking their final homes in public institutions. —_— The Women's Symphony Orchestra of America has been organized by Mme.
