What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Cancer. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are distinctly and definitely adverse until noon. They then assume an entirely different character and become ve.y favorable and later on in the day there will be sensed stimulating vi brations. Nothing that savors of any fresh departure should be attempted during the morning, as the signs only indicate faflure. R-utine work only ouculd occupy your attention and | care should be taken to overcon:e the tendency that will be felt to be | quarrelsome and captious. In the jafternoon anything that means con- structive effort or veneficial change can_be prosecuted with energy and confidence. In the evening the at- | mosphere and conditions will induce a feeling of responsiveness ‘hat should irure to the bznetit of all lovers, if proper advantage be taken of it. Children born tomorrow will suffer from one or two serious ailments dur- ing their infancy. They will, how- ever, possess exceptional recupera- tive powers, and be thereby enabled to throw off the effects of a sickness |that would militate against the de- velopment of others not so vigor- ously resilient. The signs denote that these children will quickly grow out of their weaknesses and attamn, at an early age, physical normalicy. Their dispositions will be tractable and they will be easy to manage and to control. They will be"fired with |ambition and will show great inter- |est in their studies. They will, also, | be unselfish and very considerate of jthe convenience and comfort of thers. They promise, however, to lack personality. If tomorrow is your birthday, you | possess exceptional strength of char- | acter and are forceful and deter- mined. You, however, are not stub- |born or “pig-headed” and are always willing to heed the advice and coun- sel of others, especially if they are intimately associated with you. You, although not slow in making up your mind, are deliberate and very rarely speak or act without thought. Your judgment 1is invariably sound, and | you also possess a very clear and | far-seeing vision. You are rather | secretive, and not very talkative. | When you do talk, you generally say omething that is worthy of atten fon. Your passions are deep-seated and your anger is violent when you give way to it. This, however, does not very often happen as, in spite of vour other characteristics, you are usually gentle and kind. You are capable of a great affection, and never know real happiness or pleas- ure unless you have some one on whom you can bestow the love that animates you. gese = Pistory of Dour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. MacLEA. VARIATIONS—Lee, Lea. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish. SOURCE—A given name. The correct Gaelic spelling of this family name is ““O'Macliaigh.” Right away you are probably won- dering at this name containing an “0” and a “Mac,” since both of these prefixes are supposed to mean the same thing. ‘The answer is that in this cage the “Mac” is not what vou think it fs. It is not the usual prefix, but merely part of the given name of “Macliagh,” from which the clan name is derived. This given name figuratively had the meaning of “bright physiclan.” The chleftain who bore it and who founded the clan came of the line of the O'Dwyers. Thus this clan is allied by blood to that of the Carberrys of Ilalhmler‘i n undergoing the process of trans- lation from Irish into English, of course, one of the first things to hap- pen to it was the loss of the prefixed *'0,” and then very often the loss of the syllable “Mac,” under the impres- sion that this was itself the prefix to the name. —— Mutton With Tomatoes.

But now, he was safe again and headed toward Moscow Let the morning take care of itself. Jimmy eircled once; and then, using the lights of the Ford on the field below as his point of departure, set his course due West for Moscow— Six hundred miles distant It was early dawn when Voronoff, Jimmy Brandon’s relief pilot, tapped him on the arm and pointed toward the west. Nosing his plane down slightly, the American saw in the dis- tance, through a rift in the mists of early dawn, the ancient spires and roofs of ) golden light of the sun. His heart gave a little leap of ex- | citement. Despite his tense muscles, he felt freed in an instant from the nervous strain of the past 5-hour: flight_thrqugh the Stygian darkn over Russia's plains. There had been times when neither he nor his com- panion had been able to distinguish even a ground light. developed zense of balance of the two men had enabled them to keep the ship on an even keel. They had relieved each other at the stick at intervals, without conversa- tion. Jimmy would give the control a slight shake and his companion, sit- ting beside him, would grip the wheel while he relaxed. The night had been and while off duty, the men had mas- saged aching muscles and attempted to determine how near the lowing their courke. Only sional star gleamed through the black- ness. And all during these wearing night hours, Jimmy's mind had ‘been ob- sessed with the cause of his predica- ment. The problem was baffling. He no longer doubted that it had been Rogers who had caused his arrest and detention as a sp: But who had secured his release? Who had communicated with his friends in Moscow and gained for him the intervention of the Narko- mindel—the Soviet foreign office? The lady narcissus noir! That was what he called her now, in his own mind. But how had she done it, and why? It had been her face— that glimpse of pallid, concerned features, that he had seen as the Moscow train pulled out of Nizhni- Novgorod. Why had she helped him again? He had given scant thought to the fact that he and Voronoff were rac- ing through space In an expensive airplane, the safety of which had been imperiled by the accident at the takeoff. A broken tails®id might mean utter ruin to pilots and plane. Should he crack up the ship in mak- ing his landing at Moscow, every dol- lar he possessed must go to repair it. He gave little thought to his own danger; if he made his landing safely, he'd be in time to catch the Lonigs- berg plane, and for the present that was all that mattered. Barring a rail accident, of course, Rogers would also catch the plane. That would pyt them neck and neck again. Three weeks—exactly 21 days, since he and his rival bad shaken hands on the steps of their club on Fifth ave. nue. Jimmy felt ages older. Another week—eight days at most, and it would be over. He meant to win. And winning meant international re- nown, money—and the hand of Frances. Jimmy even mentioned her name aloud, in a little whisper, as he had been wont to do of old. Yet his pulses failed to give the customary re- sponse. Had he tired? Was he un- worthy? Or was it only that that deli- cate odor of narcissus noir confused his thoughts? He shook hi¢ head abruptly. There was work to be done. The sum came full over the horizon to the eastward; and, rising to glance over his shoulder, Jimmy thrilled to the beauty of the scene. His eyes turned slowly in con- templation of the city of Moscow—a vivid, unchanging tapestry of the Orient placed in the West. He picked out the Kremlin and held to his course. A few more minutes— For days flyers about Moscow spoke of the magnificent landing made by “the mad American” that memorable June morning. . Jimmy_ surveyed his landing field for a full five minutes, pointing his nose into the wind and allowing the Jurker to settle slowly in a long. graceful glide, its propeller barely revolving. Judging distance' and bal- ance with hairbreadth precision, he placed the wheels of his undercarriage on the ground as gently as a bird lands. Silently he rolled across his field, his features set. Voronoff sat forward intently. Field mechanies, catching sight of his damaged tail skid, ran for- ward to help. The great ship tee- tered backward and forward pre. cariously; but Jimmy kept the tail off the ground. ‘When finally hé cut his switch and ‘he giant bird stood silent, not an inch bitterly cold, for b To-| cow limned by the first | Only the finely | and North American Newspaper nee. | garden flowers | mark |of fuselage or tail surface had been harmed.

And, just herween vou and me, I'd hate 1o be convicted of an offense against this govern ment!"

If Rogers got into trouble, he would only he hoisted by his own petard. after all. Feeling greatly re. freshed, therefore, half hour later, Jimmy 'grabbed his bag and set off for the field. A giant Junker was being warmed | up when he arrived, 15 minutes | ahead of time. He was tired; but he could catch up on 8leep during the 10 hours and 30 minutes between Mos. cow and Konigsberg. At five minutes to 7, as the Junker's motors roared warningly, a_high-powered car swept onto the field and Jimmy saw Austin Rogers spring out and dash for the ticket office. He sidled closer, drawing deep on his cigarette, and smiled. “Detained ‘again, 1 see,” mured quietly. Rogers swung about abruptly and started with utter amazement. “You——!" Then his visage cleared ‘ou're clever, at that, Brandon—but | we're not in New York yet!" As Jimmy moved away, he saw Rogers start for the customs officials. In that instant, another motor car dashed across the field and drew up with screaming brakes to let Chuck Harvey leap free, two Moscow police in his wake. Rogers attempted to | throw off the detaining hand that the correspondent laid on his shoulder. | “I'm afraid vou don't understand, | my friend,” Harvey drawled, “You're | under arrest.” “Arrest?” | “Right the first time,” Harvey ac. | knowledged. “And to end the sus- | pense—it’s for conspir: z | Rogers' pallor decpened as the two policemen ranged on either side of | him. He stared. Jimmy entered the waiting plane and the throttle roared. Smiling, he turned back and waved. Rogers choked and cursed. “Good luck, old son!" yelled Harvey after his friend. “I'll see that vour pal here gets entertainment.” As the door closed behind him, Jimmy looked up with surprise at the mechanic on the step. A rather grimy sheet of paper, folded twice, was slipped into his hand.

Drooping makes poor health. lack of vigor and laziness. Often this person is a grouch, sour, and it is a difficult matter to ple. - him. When criticized he is quick to blame others.
