YOUR BIRTHDAY...... By STELLA
SATURDAY, MARCH 24
PORN today, you have a strong, firm character and a will of
iren. You know what you want to do and will go nbout necomplishing it without permitting opposition to affect you. Your keen soner of justice makes it. Impossible for you to ride rough- shrod over others and much of your energotle work will be toward helping those whom you beileve to be less fortunate than yurself,
Your Intuitional insight is exceptional md you must learn to follow it implicitly. When you do, you rarely er in judgment. But if you act on outside advice, and against that small, inner voice then you run into real trouble Avoid this by always adhering to your own decisions, no matter what the opposition.
Your one weakness, perhaps, lies in your innbility to appre cinto fully why those who are less positive and energetic than you ape find it so difficult to got ahead in life. You are a little "one- track" minded. You may need, nt times, to be irred up out of your emplacency and made to listen to the other side of a ques- tion. This does not necessarily mean that you have to act differently.
Among those born on this date are: George Francis Train, nuthor: Andrew Mellon, #latösinan and philanthropist; Joe! Hiralow, diplomat-poet; Rufus King. Colonial statesmun und Matlida J. Gage, suffragist; Funny Crosby, composer and Thomas E. Dewey, statesman.
