HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not C I1npeW
SUNDAY, JULY IA

Benefic aspects rule today which is a time most suspicious for taking stock of ones accomplishments. It is a favorable sway under which to start reforms, individual and pub lie. The stars encourage writing and letters may have special effect. The clergy should benefit, for many will turn to the churches for con- solation.
 Heart and Home: This should be a fortunate rule of the stars for persons dependent upon public ap- proval. Political candidates should benefit. There is sign preSaging opportunity. The navy will attract many young men and again girls will be needed in clerical positions. This is not a lucky date for TO- manceS. Young men may have a critical attitude of mind, due t. their anxiety regarding future de mands on them by the nation.
 Business Affairs: Preservation of fruits, vegetables and meats will be of extraordinary interest as novel methods are introduced. The value of food to the future citizens of the nation will cause the Govern ment to provide for underprivileged children according to new and sci entific methods. Waste will become a national concern as thrift is em- phaSized.
 National Issues: AS the national political campaigns proceed the trend toward conservative policies that reflect the early principles on which the nation has prospered will be discerned The nation until re- gently secure from aggression, will realize it's responsibilities toward others. Patriotism will take on a serious acceptance of widening re- lations that touch Europe and Asia Relief movements on gigantic scale will be pushed as winter comes
 International Affairs: Death is to remove statesmen of great in fluence among the Allies. Mortality among men concerned with public service will be great before the end of the year. There will be tragedies among war leaders who will be overburdened by the tasks placed upon their shoulders.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. There may be deception on the part of an associate, but care will prevent serious results. Children born on this day prob- ably will be strong in body and courageous in spirit. They will en- joy adventure and probably will seek exciting careers.

No Sin
Philadelphia Record)

tPhlladeIphla RecOrdJ
 Governor Luren Dickinson, of Michigan, who found so much sin in New York and elsewhere, found at the Republican National Convention.
 It is true that Governor Dickinson befits a Vandenberg isolationist turned his back upon sin by going over to the Walt Whitman Hotel in Cam den
 But so it is nice to hear him say that Philadelphia is "sinless sexless and safe" He is at least third right although we wouldn't want to say which third
 Governor Dickinson doubt piloted around by tactful person who explained to him that those standing at high counters were professional tea-t -tasters and that the girl smoking cigarette in the corner was a Democrat, and, therefore, damned anyway.
 Governor Dickinson can report to the folks in Michigan that there sin in Philadelphia last week-no sin and very little Vandenberg.
