PORN today, you have a tremendous capacity for hard work. If there is a job to be done, you give it your unremitting efforts until it is Anished. By nature, you are rather too quiet and retir- ing. If you learn to come out of your shell and express yourself, you can become a great force for good during your lifetime. You ore, at heart, a crusader and are happiest when you have a cause for which you can fight. You may discover the power of the writ- ten word and use your literary talent in behalf of some programme of constructive activity,
You tend to be highly critical of the status quo and are always "Handy Andy” with cure for anything! You, are a bulider, and until you can offer a practicni solution, you are apt to remain sllent. You believe that to tear down without robuilding is one of the major sins. How right you arel
You are a person who can keep your own counsel, and when it comes to keeping secrets for another, there is no superior. You never gossip and, because of this, many come to you for solution of their problems. They know you will be sympathetic end helpful. Guard against being imposed upon.
Your road through life may not always be an oasy one, but you have the courage and tenacity to carry on. You recover quick- ly from a setback go forward again. Eventuaily your efforts should be well-rewarded. Although you will be able to make plenty of money, you probably will give most of it away, helping those whom you feel are less well off than yourself. An early marriage should be a happy and con' gated one.
Among those bom on this date were: Dr Walter Reed, physi- clan who conquered yellow fever; Gentzal John Josephy Pershing, A.E.F. commander la World War I; Maude Ballington Booth, re- former; Thomas Gainsborough, arlist; Theodore Roosevelt Jr. von of the ex-President, and William Henry Rinehart, sculptor.
