Horoscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
 Many planetary aspects are ac- tive today and the early hours are less fortunate than those after mid day. Saturn and Pluto are in places that may cause uncertainty regard ing labor developments and the plans of foreign dictators. Merchants and manufacturers should make the most of this autumn which is to bring expanding trade and com merce to the United States.
 Heart and Home-Promising as poets rule today over the home Under this sway cooperation among members of the family will prevail, especially where economies are con- cerned. This is an suspicious we'd ding day which promises congenl- ality and understanding in the new partnership. No danger of divorce. It is a good day for social affairs. Hostesses should enjoy success in entertaining.
 Business Affairs. rS.-Advertising will score extraordinary gains. Publicity also will be widely sought by men and women desirous of political or club preferment. Newspapers are to prosper, but changes in ownership may affect certain journalistic or ganizations. Death will remove two personalities long dominant in guiding opinion. Magazines will be less conservative than formerly and take active part in political cam paigns.
 National Issues.-While the stars smile on women under this plane tary government there will be strong opposition to them in the leading political parties New alignments among both Democrats and Repub- licans will enlist women, but only as subordinates in getting votes. There appears little promise of election or appointment to import ant offices.
 International Affairs.-Astrologe see Mussolini as the safest of the three European dictators. He will be slow to arouse the democracies to conflict with Italy and will find himself in difficulties with Hitler, it is forecast Stalin is subject to evil portents as Russian troops de- fend Russian borders.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success in industry. Those seeking employ ment should be fortunate in ob- taining satisfactory positions.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be retiring and sensitive, out talented and industrious. Many subjects of this sign have inventive talent.

Attitude Toward War
Cincinnati Enquirer)

TCINCIIIdu EIIquItIJ
 The Dutch who famous for their common sense prove it anew in their way of meeting new crisis They prepare for war recognizing it may come but they do not glorfy it. do not teach their children it is anything but a shameful business of murder.
 Characteristic is the fact that one cannot buy toy soldiers or tanks or guns in the stores of the Neher lands Believing war is not nice thing they just don't carry such commodities in stock. tThe con- rast with this country is strking9 Yet the Holland CTS are not lacking in courage or in realism.
 If this were merely attitude it could be dis missed But it is the successful formula of people who have prospered held onto vast colonial empire, and still kept free of for many decades It evil dently pays to teach that is evil and make this clear each succeeding generation meantime keeping up the means of national defense to be ready if comes to worst.

Copper Company Makes Proposal
 For Wage Scale

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 12. = The Anaconda Copper Company has offered it's employees a new con- tract proposing a day minimum wage increase. Copper mine wages by the agreement are based on a sliding wage scale, depending on the market price of copper. The proposed minimum would be $5 day compared to the present $4.2S. When copper falls below 8. cents a pound the wages will drop.
 Existing wage contracts expire October 1. The mine workers have not immediately accepted the com- pany's offer.
 Copper is now selling for 12 cents pound and prospects of further increases seem good because of the European war.
