HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, AUGUST 10

Good and bad planetary as
poets are discerned for today.
The morning Is adverse to BUSH
ness and the wise will seek out
door recreation. The later hours
are promising to those who must
plan for important movements
in trade or war.
Heart and Home: Women who
plan for the coming autumn will
benefit by economizing. The
household budget should be care
fully reduced, for there must be
cautious management of money
in a world Of economic chaos.
Educational institutions will find
ii necessary to curtail many
usual expenses as attendance
shrinks in colleges and UNIVERSE
ties. This Is a time when every
mature member of the family
should assume a part OF the
financial burdens.
Business Affairs: Activity will
be great in all the cities of the
United States which Is to con-
tinue to prosper. Taxes will be
burdensome and laws governing
trade will be stringent. Luxuries
will be enjoyed while they are
possessed. but they will not be
purchased so freely as in the
past. The cost of clothing will
rise. Tremendous drains on the
financial resources of the nation
will be necessary as relief needs
of war victims in Europe and
Asia are recognized.
International Affairs: This
month has been designated as
most important for Italy. be-
cause a crisis in which the king
and Mussolini are involved will
be reached. Some change in the
theology Of the nation is indi-
Gated. The stars presage sud-
den shifts in sentiment regard
ing Hitler and Stain as ambi-
tons centering IN the Mediter-
ranean cause army movements
and cryptic diplomacy.
Persons whose birthdste il Is
have the sugury OF year OF
good fortune. Business should
expand. Romances will be for
tunate.
Children born on this day
probably will be ambitious and
persistent. Intellectually they
should be well endowed.

breath-taking success. In fact,
at this writing he has had no

In the case Of Carter Glass, for
example. he has indicated gr,dg-
ingly his feeling that participa-
ton in the Chicago convention
binds him, morally, to vote for
the democratic ticket in Novem-
Der.
But in 1886, Carter Glass made
a powerful contribution of con-
sentative support to the Roose-
welt Garner ticket on the eve Of
election day by making q nation
wide radio address. openly advo-
eating FDR's reelection. Byrd
did the same thing.
This time both have served
notice that they are unavailable.
They won't support Willkie. but
they won't move a finger to help
the Roosevelt-wallace ticket.
The same thing is true of Sem

South Carolina; of Bennett
Clark in Missouri; of Fred Van

such plan. But the impact of European tension the
world has brought about adoption of this registry almost
without opposition.
Several things ought to be kept clearly in mind the
day approaches when all aliens must appear at of

and their activities.

against him.
Second, there is charge fee in connection with

she produces a super-abundance

Any capitalist nation must ex-

Coincidence Takes
Secret of Her Age
To Final Mystery

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. D. CUP -
Flora Finch, first of the moves
conference.-the appeared on the
Nickelodeon screens when a girl had
to work to be funny-carried with
her to the grave today the secret
of a lady.
Nobody knew the date of her
birth. She might have been 6O.
Possibly she was nearer 80. She
would have Uttered, as only she
could litter at the mystery solvers
who said she was II.
Miss Finch, the long, lean, and
lanky woman who made the late
John Bunnys life miserable on the
screen once a week for years, died
in the Good Samaritan hospital.
She scratched her arm last week,
apparently with can opener, and
laughed when DR.. Francis E. Brown
suggested her condition might be
serious.
A streptococcus infection set in,
to Miss Finch's incredulous dismay,
and she died late yesterday after
falling into a coma, still believing
that scratch on the arm could
not be fatal. Her death recalled to
Hollywood's old-timers the almost
forgotten days when the movies
we're young and lady in the films
had to be kicked where it hurt the
most, at least twice in every reel
