HOROSCOPE "The staYs incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY. AUGUST 13

| THURSDAY, AUGUST 13 | Adverse planetary influences ap- pear to rule today. It is a date that typifies old superstitions, for the aspects of many planets are threatening.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should avoid unnecessary exertion under this configuration. h. cer- tain parts of the country extreme heat and sudden storms are pre- saged. There is a sign supposed to cause women to look upon the dark side of life; real sorrows may appear even worse than they are. It must be remembered that time heals all human hurts and in the great plan of life sacrifice is nec- essary for the evolution of civilized ideals.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In the Washington chart for this month there are aspects that seem to pre- sage crises in civil as we'll as war matters. Spectacular changes in world conditions are forecast and these will affect American business, which will be able to withstand shock, for prosperity will be well grounded. Alterations in the world may cause shocks in the United States, which must bear the brunt of supreme responsibilities.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Family bud gets that show strain in ordinary times will at first appear to be wrecked under the war-tithing sys- tenn for taxes now so much dis cused. One-tenth of the average income appears as large propor- tion when compared with the var iety of modern drains, but with the restrictions due to gasoline and rubber shortages the elimination of many recreations will make possible the desired amounts for purchase of war bonds. It will be cheering to know that there are aspects that seem to presage success in regular saving
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: In the Berlin horoscope, Mars in the tenth house this month is seen as adverse to Germany's leadership. This seems to presage continued loss of popularity for Hitler who must be alarmed if he still follows astrology. It is recalled that it was an astrologer of Czechosovakia who first interested the Austrian cor poral in the study of the stars and gave him lessons in the science. This led to the building up of a powerful group of advisers by the future Fuehrer who now must know that he is subject to evil portents.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some difficulties. They should exercise restraint in all things.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have eventful lives. They should be carefully educated for they have great responsibilities.

tober %, 1871, and in order to en-
able you to arrange for Lend-Lease

1 hereby find that the defense of
Ethiopia is vital to the defense of
the United States"
Ethiopia was welcomed to men,
bership in the United Nations by
President Roosevelt on October 9,
1912, after Halle Selassie, Emperor
of Ethiopia, had cabled the Presi-
dent
"My government and people are
anxious to assume the obligations
of the United Nations Pact. We,
the first nation to regain it's free
dom and independence, wish to
place the military and economic
resources of our country at the
disposal of those nations who glad
ly sacrifice all for Liberty and JUS
tice."
In his reply, President Roosevelt
cabled-
at is gratifying to accept the
adherence of Ethiopia to the Dec
laration by United Nations, to well
come as one of the United Nations
the first state to regain it's terri
tory occupation by an Axis aggres-
sor. You may be sure that there is
deep appreciation for your offer to
place at the disposal of the United
Nations the military and economic
resources of Ethiopia for use in
the struggle against the common
enemy"
In assuming the obligations, of
the United Nations Declaration,

MILL CITY TO STAGE
MASS MEETING PROTESTING
MISTREATMENT OF SOLDIERS

The public is invited to attend a
Protest Mass meeting at the Phyl-
lis Wheatley House, in behalf of
Samuel A. Reed and other Negro
soldiers. The meeting is spon-
sored by the Minneapolis Branch
of the NAACP and will begin at
400 p. m. sharp.
Speakers from various labor
groups, civic, religious and frater-
nal organizations will speak. Frank
Boyd, Twin City chairman of the
March On Washington Committee,
will speak on the case and it's re-
lation to the Poll-Tax.
Having the war interest at heart
and actively participating in it's
numerous activities the Negroes of
this community feel that this meet
ing is in keeping with the spirit of
the times. Without unity the war
can not be won, spokesman for
the association said Wednesday.
"Unity can not be gained with
brutality, racial discrimination,
murder, and injustice running ram
pant against Negroes in the Armed
forces Of this country. A few hours
of your time is a small sacrifice
compared to that being made by
Americas Negro soldiers"
