The record shows that Nc
Gavick voted against s. B. l25

does Mr.. McGsvick and his

. HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER a


This is not an important day
in planetary government. but
benific aspects rule.
HEART AND HOME: Wo-
men are subject 10 the best pos
sible direction of the stars. II
is date most suspicious for
girls and may bring about mar
rage engagements. There Is a
happy sign for weddings. The
middle-sged as well as the young
will seek the bonds of matri-
mony since desire to avoid lone
someness will be prevalent.
There is a promising sign for
girls who begin careers, especi-
ally as nurses or actresses. IL
Ia lucky time to look for en-
ployment. In the colleges young
women will be wise TO study the
sciences and 10 obtain technical
knowledge. In postwar days
home will be a haven, not an
abiding place.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Stimu-
lation Of purchase of Govern
ment bonds will be due TO an
untoward incident that proves
how lacking in perfection even
the best system OF watchfulness
can be in time of war. Initia-
tive and leadership will be gain
ed through the services of the
head of a great business or
ganization. Many puzzling prob
lens will be presented to WASH
ington as initiation dangers null
tiply.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Semi
patriots who avoid sacrifices
while they protest their loyalty
10 the United States will prove
to be distractions in civilian
war work plans. Their lack Of
enthusiasm will have a serious
influence on persons Of limited
intelligence or uncertain prin-
ciples. There is a sign read as
presaging sensational case
that reveals a saboteur in high
place undermining loyalty.
TERM ALTOONA AT
FAIRS: Results Of failure of the
United States early TO recognize
the possibility of war affecting
the greatest democracies will
prove slsrmingly costly. Perils
will multiply as the United Ma
tons show gathering power due
TO our splendid aid. Lack OF
shipping facilities will be criti-
cal but there is a sign presag-
ing increase OF transportation
facilities.
Persons whose hirthdste IL Is
have the suEury Of year Of
outstanding achievement. Prog
ress in military and professional
activities is foretold.
Children born or this day
probably will be industrious as
well as talented. Success and
popularity are indicated all
through happy lives.

My New 1919 Astrology Readings Are Ready

Would you suggest something for
me to do?
Ans: If it is impossible for you
to commute to work by bus, then
you will have to make some ar
rangements about getting to work
before winter sets in. The only
solution is for you to either get a
job closer to your home else move
closer to your work. You wouldn't
find it difficult to rent out your
home and would no doubt
realize a nice little profit out of it.
W. NJ. R.: have a boy friend
in the Army here at Flying School.
He is supposed to be transferred
soon and wants me to come to him.
Shall l try to gain this boys love
or marry the one in Md?
Ans: Did you notice that this
boy asked you to come to him &.
NOT marry him? You know well
enough that this arrangement will
work out just long enough for you
to lose your decency and once
you take the first step in the wrong
direction, it is easy to keep going
that way. No, you shouldn't marry
the boy in Md. as long as you are
in love with this other fellow. But
you should appreciate the fact that
he offers marriage, not just an af-
lair
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-10-30

G. W.: l am in love with a boy
that l have been going with for
quite awhile. He is slipping out
on me with lady quite older than
he. l am not going with anyone
else. I stay at home and go to
church and a show once a week.
Do you think l should continue to
fool with him or is he trying to see
if l will do wrong? He mentioned
once about marrying. What do you
suggest?
Ans: Aren't you taking a lot
for granted to give up all your
other friends to go steady with
this boy? He hasn't shown you
that consideration nor has he
even asked that much of you, for he
isn't that interested. If you do
continue to fool with him, you may
as well get out your knitting and
plan to live the life of an Old Maid.
Make other friends and also
make it a policy not to take any
man too seriously until you can be
sure of his intentions.
A. N. W.: am thinking of NOV
ing closer to my job and renting my
house out. 1 live "a blocks from
work and that is entirely too far
for me to have to walk twice a day.

Hello Folks:

neuO + OAhSs
Those lassies about town who
have been diverting their attention
from boys of their own age in the
army to the eighteen year old boys
are going to change their tactics in
mid-stream now since the Is and 10
year Olds are due to go any day.
You should see the many free
lancing male IS year "Oldsters" who
have suddenly spruced up and taken
a new lease on life. It's quite the
thing these days to see young las
sic in her twenties looking devOt-
eddy into the eyes of some dapper
fifty or sixty year old papa"
Those lassies will tell you frankly
though that the older men have
the real money, background and
position to offer them, but most of
us girls are keeping our fingers
crossed and waiting patiently until
the boys come marching home.

posted. Up to date the hired lady"
has had nothing to report but our
