HOROSCOPE

benefic aspects rule this morn

noon is favorable to buying and

which should inspire extreme
caution.
Heart and Home: Women are

stars frown upon romance, and

plans for social recreations
which include new scquaint-
ances of opposite sex. Self
discipline is strongly recon-
mended. especially for young
people pursuing artitsic vocs-
tons.
Business Affairs: Good news

market this week, but specula-

Travel in the United States will

National Issues: Taxes con-

more successful than direct
methods Of adding to the public
