HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, OCTOBER (

Benefic aspects are strong today Mercury in the early morning hours appears to promise encouraging news regarding the war. Disputes between capitalists and those who have borrowed money are indi- cated
 HEART AND HOME: This is a favorable date for signing leases or contracts. It is a day promis- ing to whatever is started under this sway. The seers urge women to concentrate their energies upon one important interest for they declare that. the feminine instinct to scatter activities. Astrologers emphasize that it is important to 10 one thing well and to avoid fatigue. The urge to seek amuse- ment in the evening after a hard lays work should be overcome since nothing short of complete devotion to duty is adequate to present needs in assuring victory.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In tn e struggle to prevent materialism from dominating the world it is still necessary to make the most of all opportunities that promise
 table conditions in governing the avs of supply and demand. Through necessity there will be nore careful methods of conduct ing manufacturing and merchandis- .ng. Waste will be eliminated in human effort as well as in ma
 erials. Through todays multiplying exigencies great efficiency will de- yelop in all lines of industry, the seers prophecy.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers point out the fact that We Ameri- eans have not yet learned h e meaning of sacrifice although there have been limitations in certain supplies and growing lists of our war victims on foreign countries. There is a sign read as presaging serious lessons in daily living and spending. Because of the size of .he United States and the general prosperity, thousands of families have not yet comprehended what is most urgent in the way of war aid and many of the usual recrea- tions that are costly continue to attract young and old. It is time to forget pleasure that costs the price of war stamps and war | bonds.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: Transportation is to be one of the chief concerns of the United Na- tions until the end of the winter, 1 it is forecast A disaster which will affect the delivery of supplies to one of our Allies has been fore l told Loss of life will be compara- lively small. Good results from l coordination of British, Russian and American campaign plans and aims will be evident before h e end of the month.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Benefits from surprising sources are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be courageous, resource ful and independent. With excep- tional intelligence many of these Libra folk will gain success. Copyright, l942)
