lieve he has access to British

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY. AUGUST 2s

Neptune is In benefic aspect
today which should be fortunate
for the navy and commerce.
Under this configuration fore
sight and intuition may be
trusted.
Heart and Home: Women may
be extremely sensitive to adj
verse planetary influences today
when planning for the future
brings to them a sense Of un-
certainty. Positive attitudes Of
mind must be sought and physi-
cal activity must become
habit. II is important, the seers
emphasize, TO live each day
hopefully. There are inspiring
promises in the stars. The sun
shine of peace will bring great
glory TO a blood-washed world
and in the new order of things
women are to attain equality Of
success and opportunity.
Business Affairs: Trade and
commerce continue under slim
ulsting planetary influences.
The government will profit
through the wise counsel OF men
OF experience and foresight. War
eNigencies will teach lessons Of
supreme value in agriculture
and merchandising. ColoniZing
on a novel plan is foretold for
next spring. Refugees viii
contribute to the success Of arts
and manufacturing. The power
that is to center in the United
States will be foreshadowed in
the autumn.
National Issues: Subversive
agencies will be discovered IN
many cities where naturalization
has become a shield TO foreign
born spies. Registration and
finger-printing of every citizen
will be advocated as means of
controlling crime as well as
espionage. Times out of joint
will cause extension OF govern
ment control in civil as well as
military life. Curtailment Of
American liberty will be opposed
by persons who have little
knowledge OF the real perils
which must be overcome.
Persons whose birthdate II is

usual experiences. Military pro-
motions are indicated for certain

When the expanded system
swings into operation, the eX-
perts say Herr Goebbels' propa-
ganda analysis machinery Will
look sick. Announcement of its
workings will be made by the
FEC within a week.
The original idea Of having
trained men record what comes
over the air waves from the axis
powers contemplated only a CEN
trial office in Washington. What
could be picked up there would
be translated and judged in the
light of publicized events over
seas. The purpose was to give
the government well-rounded
insight into the HitlerMussolini
mind. as well as 10 provide
grounds for protest il the broad
casts smacked too much of hard
guy tactics.
The speed with which the war
has progressed changed all that
Japan got tough and moved
south toward islands rich with
the raw materials she needs

now shooting IT out with enc
mics. Germany has intensified
her attempts to influence Cen
trial and South America thought
and action. Having moved into
Latin America with planes. cash
and supplies, we are now setting
up listening posts TO determine
how best TO effectuate our policy
of keeping Hitler on the far side
Of the South Atlantic and Japan

The old World story about the fond mother who
