HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not c0mpeW
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5
This should be fortunate day
for women, especially for those
who are engaged in any wage
earning occupation. 1t is an aus
picious date for merchants II j
especially for lawyers.
HEART AND HOME: The morn
ing hours should be suspicious FOR
speculation in the sense of prepar-
alton for future eventualities. The
purchase of food and clothing may
be profitable next month when
there may be events that cause an
upward trend in prices, despite gov
eminent safeguards. This is a pro-
missing sway for girls who seek po-
sitions, especially those who are
trained as secretaries for attorneys
or heads of big business. The after
noon brings romance into the
consciousness of young members O..
the family.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merchants
and manufacturers will find this
month noteworthy for unusual de-
mands from the public as we'll as
the government. Purveyors VI
amusement and directors of recrea-
ton will spend much money Heads
of big business and men who hold
executive positions should be cau-
tious in preventing waste in any
form. The stars seem to warn AM
orleans of every class to change
their habits of generous spending.
Money problems will be widely dis
cussed.
NATIONAL ISSUES: In view If
postwar readjustments the equal
rights agitation by women a world
wide movement, has attracted I'M
usual attention and the proposed
amendment, long pigeon-holed by
Congress, is likely to be pushed with
emphasis. In rebuilding a devaStat-
ed system of civilization the stars
indicate that women are to be fore
most in the labor of restoring So
cial and economic conditions. For
that reason it is important that
they should be unhampered by legal
restrictions now in existence.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.:
Japan is to benefit under plane
tary aspects which will enable her
to cause greater difficulties to op-
posing forces. The stars presage
stubborn conflict of ideas and
armed forces. In training and -e-
sources, to which the Axis powers
have contribute much, the
strength of japan must not be
moderated. Astrologers warn the
United States against the dangers
that attend the habit of UNDER
estimating the power of an enemy
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of hap
piness and prosperity. Marriage is
indicated for the young and for
those of middle age
Children born on this day prop
ably will be ambitious and enec-
getic. They should be charming N
