HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incli9,e
 bot do not compel"
SATURDAY, AUGUST g

| SATURDAY, AUGUST
 Benefic aspects rule the early morning, which is most suspicious for the work of women. Later in the day adverse influences may af- feet both men and women.
 Heart and Home: There is a promising sign for household in- terests and it is favorable for or der and harmony For daytime hos pitalities there are kindly influ- ences. but evening parties may be disap pointing Simplification of modes of life now will be wise, for reduction of expenditures will be evidence of foresight which will be justified in the future. This is a fortunate wedding date if the cere- mony is performed before noon. Marriages will be numerous as young folk grasp present day cer- | tainties.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Relocation of trade channels will continue to affect commerce, but business will flourish as manufacturing and mer- chandising reach new heights of attainment. Agitation regarding the indirect methods by which unscru- pulous persons sell to hostile ma tions materials of first importance to the United States will cause heated debates in Congress. nlThe legislative mills will be slow in action. at
 National Issues: Speed in sup plying Britain with needed war ma terials will be each day more ur- gent. Lack of complete 'coordina- ton of Government agencies in production and distribution Twill cause desperate exigencies.A Tn 9 stars presage demand for executives of super ability as war dangers null tiply. Astrologers have foretold that there is an evil omen read as pres aging loss of American lives. prob ably in the sinking of another bat tleShip.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: Peace trends reported in July will be forgotten as this month ad- vances. The United States is to face the most overwhelming respon- abilities which will increase with Russian developments. Intense ac- tivity will be necessary in the re- armament program, for the United States is to need all that pertains to the mechanical equipment and to the development of man powe: In other words, it is inevitable, ac- cording to the stars, that the great est of democracies should fight for freedom
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck, but they should curb large expenditures. Their money will be needed in the future.
 Children born on this day will be fortunate through life, but they should be taught the value of the dollar. Inclination toward selfish ness must be overcome if success full career is attained.

fulminations against labor reforms
 Following the outbreak of the leftist-led outlaw strikes in key de- fense industries, the Senate Over- whelmingly inserted an amendment in the bill authorizing the discharge of selectees over the age of ,27 empowering the taking over of de- fense plants when closed by labor disputes. The provision was squarely in line with the labor policies long advocated by the House COP.
 But when the proposal came be- fore the House the Republicans voted solidsy against it on the ground that it gave too much power to the President.

She looked her usual pretty

about the great stables.
