Business and the War
lCleveland Plain Dealer)


 It is impossible to determine to what extent the current sharp rise in industrial activity is due to war orders actually received to the seasonal uptrn which develops in conjunction with the introduction of new motor car models and to the building up of inventories in anticipation of the higher costs which war usually engenders
 A year ago at this time similar rise in industrial activity set in. Curiousy and by contrast with the upturn of this year, it gained momentum after the Munich crisis had passed and peace seemed assured for at least another year In most lines inventories had been maintained at a low level since the latter part of 1887 because for two full years prices had been declining and neither producers distributors could afford to be caught with large stocks of goods pro- duced at higher costs
 It would appear in this light then that much of the business improvement recorded thus far this year might well have developed even if Europe had re- mained at peace On the other hand the German in- vason of Poland and the prospect of long war are clearly responsible for the sharp rise in the steel and aviation stocks and for the skyrocketng in consider able group of commodities.
 It is thus highly probable that further consid- erable extension of the industrial improvement and also the rise in the price of equities and commod ties will be in early prospect only if war orders are received in substantial volume and basis is found for maintaining an orderly commerce between this nation and the allied powers. To that end modifca- ton of the neutrality act would seem to be necessary

Horoscope The stars incline
 but do not compel"
MONDAY. OCTOBER le

This is a day of mixed planetary aspects. In the morning there is likely to be average success through the signing of legal papers, but partnership agreements should be made with caution. It is not an aus picious date for seeking the assis- tance of persons of influence. Fin anciers may be more reluctant than usual to make large investments. The afternoon is under benefie in- fluences.
 Heart and Home: On this date men and women will be more con- cerned with practical interests than with romance. There is a fairly good sign for engaging employees, but household servants may be diff ficult to procure, except at high wages. Workers of all classes will demand larger returns than in the past, but in many lines of industry hey will be disappointed in their ] hope for high pay. This is a time to renew insurance and to safe guard property.
 Business Affairs: Merchants will profit at this time, but increased credits will be asked. Summer eX- penditures will cause temporary economies. The fall trade will be brisk and Christmas shopping will De heavy. Change of Thanksgiving late is to have certain good effects and is one of the results of sur prise influence discerned in the skies.
 National Issues: Intrusion of poli- tics into relief organizations will be marked, despite assurances that the administration of the vast state and Federal machinery to aid the un- employed is non-partisan. Serious scandals regarding theWaste of pub lie money may develop in the winter Large executive salaries will cause criticism. Difficulties among the white collar workers are forecast
 International Affairs: Economic problems will affect the military , plans of Japanese army leaders through the winter as the people in
 he cities of Japan undergo supreme sacrifices. Dearth of. men in civil fife is to make demands upon the women who will have to bear heavy burdens. er-nourishment will af- feet the children and deplete the energies of those who do not bear arms. News will be severely cen- sored in Tokyo and other centers of population.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good health and improved fortunes. Discretion in writing is enjoined, especi- ally among the young. Love mis- Sives may become of grave impor- tance. Novel schemes may intrigue men.
 l, Children born on this day prob ably will be impulsive and emotional These subjects of Libra may bt quicktempered, but energetic anc able to succeed in whatever voca ton they choose.

SUNDAY. OCTOBER IS

Fairly favorable planetary aspects rule today which is most suspicious for meditation as prelude to prac- tical action In the early morning there may be sense of futility but. later, clear mental vision enables thinkers to plan wisely. The clergy are under promising planetary in- fluences which presage activity in civic and Federal movements for human welfare. Great organizations embracing persons of many faiths will work for peace through com ing months.
 Heart and Home: Women are un- der sway which enables them to follow domestic routines contented- ". This Is a fortunate rule for the study of current events in their re- lation to history. For those who have the mystic vision said to be- long to many subjects of Libra, 5here is handwriting on the wall which should inspire altruism of the most practical kind. Old things will pass away more rapidly than has oeen foretold, according to the stars.
 Business Affairs: Men who own shops or factories have prognosti- cation of active weeks in which many unemployed will be again wage-earners, but financial prob lems will be difficult because of banking exigencies Instead of the League of Nations there will be a banking system that extends be- heath the foundations of govern ments in many parts of the world In the future money and not gun powder will conquer nations.
 National Issues: Exposure of graft and corruption in many cities of the United States will attract at tention, but public interest will be ephemeral since reformers will be lured away from their legal battle lines. Astrologers stress the fact that, as long as the public tolerates political conditions that permit. the groSSest dishonesty and tyranny as practiced by the underworld there will be grave peril to the nation.
 International Affairs: Hid e n policies will cause anxiety in Wash ington, D. C., where secret under standings will be necessary among nations representing democracy. It is imperative to prevent the spread of subversive propaganda and to avoid what may appear to be perse- cution of aliens. November is to be a month of dangers internal as well as external.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of more than average good fortune. There should be caution in all business dealings. Improvement in health is indicated for both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in their emo- ticns and strong in their purposes. These subjects of Libra have un- usual talents, but they may be hard,

Backing as CordinoI
MundeIein's Lost Message
BY the Associated Press,

| by tne Associated freSS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Bishop Bern
ard J, She'll of Chicago dispatched a
strong appeal to Catholics OF the
Nation today to support President
Roosevelt in his course toward keep
ing America out of war.
It was an appeal spoken amid
worldwide sorrow over the death
of George Cardinal Mundelein,
Archbishop of Chicago, and Bishop
She'll said it carried the cardinals
approval and constituted his last
message
Cardinal Mundelein died, at 81,
Of coronary thrombosis in bed yes
terday morning at his residence in
suburban Mundelein. Bishop She'll
spoke over the radio some II hours
later, in his new position as tenn
porary head of the Chicago Arch
diocese.
The course of America seems
so clear" he said. 1T is to stay
out of Europe until peace comes
to Europe-and under no circum-
stances send our American youth
into Europe'S wars.
Must Strengthen President.
"a few days ago you perhaps saw
reprinted in your papers an editorial
from the Osservatore Romano, the
official newspaper of the Vatican.
Every American Catholic must glow
with pride at the commendation
which that editorial of the Vatican
gave to President Roosevelt's mes
sage to Congress recommending
changes in the so-called Neutrality
Act and the identity that editorial
established between the views of
the Holy Father and the views of
our own President"
Bishop She'll added "and in par
ticulaN the editorial praises the
Presidents message for its noble
appeal to religion" and then he
said:
"And it is in the spirit of the
warmth and gladness of the Vat
leans response to the Presidents
message that We members of the
Catholic faith in the United States
must do everything in our power to
strengthen the President in his
mighty task of guiding America to
safety.
THAT should give the key to the
attitude of American Catholics on
the recommendations of the Presi-
dent now before the Congress to
keep this country out of war;
Rites Begin Tomorrow.
Bishop She'll, as senior auxiliary
bishop of Chicago. ruled the arch
diocese until the diocesan consultors
meet today to select an admins
traitor to serve during the interreg-
mum between Cardinal Mundelein's
death and appointment of his sue
cessor by Pope Plus XII.
Meantime, leaders of the diocese,
one of the largest and wealthiest in
the world, prepared for the rites be-
fitting the burial of prince of the
church.
The body will lie in state in Holy

knights. Pontifical masses were
scheduled for tomorrow and Thurs

No Job Is Too Small For
The Eberly Plan

y A&AAA
Right now, in the transition
period between seasons, there are many
minor REPAIRS, of more or less
Importance, needed to put the house in
order for the winter.
The advantages of calling on The
Eberly Plan to do them are self.evident
even if it is only the matter of easing
a door; or closing up cracks and
crevices to keep out the cold. Or, maybe
the heating plant needs tuning up-and
so on throughout the house.
Instead of "parceling" these repairs
out, with an overhead profit to be paid
to each individual trade employed,
turn them over to The Eberly Plan.
Then you know they will be taken care
of properly and promptly and with
only ONE modest profit and with
ONE responsibility-OURS.
Just remember that Eberly Plan
service is not measured by the size of
todays job-but for the service of the
long future.
