HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compeW
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21

WEDNESDAY OCIOBER Zl
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for bankers and merchants, also for newspapers. Re- ports from war fronts should be encouraging.
 HEART AND HOME: Heads of families are under favorable plane tary government at this time. While father may partake of prevailing 1 prosperity there will be trouble with labor. Under this sway women may be depressed and sensitive to world vibrations that carry war appre- hensions. It is lucky day for sign ing contracts and should be aus picious for leases. Those who have foresight will improve this period when there is general prosperity by preparing for future exigencies. Astrologers predict that peace con- ditions will not be established until the end of this decade, although the war may end by 1945 or even sooner.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: When Uranus entered the money sign Taurus, it was predicted that be- fore the planet left it in May 1942, the financial methods of the world would undergo tremendous changes. The lend-lease plan and the vast expenditures of the United States have proved that amazing policies could be safely established. The fact that billions can be borrowed from the nation shows its resources and it's splendid faith in it's future. Through war ventures will be work ed out methods of finance and of safeguarding the people against per- iods of depression and unemploy- ment, it is predicted.
 i NATIONAL ISSUES: Performers will raise the question of the ap- parent inability of the United States to cope with underworld organiza- tions and individual enemies of so- ciety when it can manage a majo part in the war. The stars preSage an increase, in crime through the coming winter and for this reason 1t is pointed out that stern meas ureS must be taken to prevent the spread of danger to life and prop erty. Through the medium of the draft and other national surveys Of citizenship there must be in- formation that will make it possible to eliminate evildoers, it is said.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: The war is seen by certain occul- ists as a part of the process of pur- ification and preparation for the Aquarian age when the conflict be- tween the influence of Uranus, and Saturn is to be decisive. Victory for the United Nations will mean that humanitarianism will prevail and that the peoples of the globe will live in peace. Mans spiritual per ception will develop so that he will be in tune with the infinite, con- forming more and more to the high est ideals of existence. Through terrible experiences in which the innocent must suffer with the guilty while right battles with might until triumph is gained, the nations will rebuild new world.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augnry of good fortune which may tempt them to be selfish and extfayagant. Pleasure should not overcome prudence.
 Children born on this day. prob ably will be ambitious, inclined to seek ease and amusement instead of knowledge and strength of char acter.

NOT A SINGING WAR

When Secretary of War Stimsor attended the Washington opening oi This Is The Army he told author Irving Berlin that he remembered him at Camp Upton, N. Y., where Stimson was a colonel of field ar tillery and Berlin was the buck private who staged "Yip, Zip, Yap- hank" Stimson liked both the 191t and 1942 shows immensely.
 Berlin, who has written more pop ular music hits than anyone il America, tells his army friends that this is not singing war.
 Tn the last war" he says, we had a great push in France that people knew about. But now the fighting is scattered and they cant get so excited.
 But even in the last war" says Berlin. there was only one really great song. That was George Co., hans Over There That was a song which only George Cohan could write, and at the time he never realized that he had pro- duced a masterpiece
 "A lot of the other songs in the last war were love songs. Take Tip perary,' for instance. Sentiment is natural in war time-men going away, women left behind. But real war songs are born only with deep national emotion, and We haven't struck it yet"
 NOTE: Irving Berlin has written the outstanding song of the war so far, T Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen"-a love song.

on deck with him, but was afraid

body up the stairs and stood sway

cloudy and overcast, the water
rough.
Link had changed his clothes. He

minutes he came up again with a
table that screwed into the floor
and their breakfast on specially

made a regal entrance, looking ex-
quisite even at this early hour In
a black tailored suit with a crisp
white jabot at her slim throat,
a plumed hat on her shining black
hair. She nodded to Fran and
Burke, murmured an impersonal

up to face Danver.

demanded.

or 30, turned the speedboat in to-

Mary said nothing as the ex.
change Of boats was made. She was
only too glad to see the speedboat
rocketing toward shore. She was
bruised and battered from her fast
trip down the coast in 1t. This boat
was less rocky. Link Jackson gave
orders to the man at the wheel and
disappeared below. Mary lay or

When she opened her eyes again it
had been to look up at black,

the small speedboat under her. She
had seen the vague forms Of two

Lying on the cold deck in the
