MONDAY. SEPTEMBER fl

Renefic aspects rule on this day which should be suspicious for many constructive and progressive activities. The week is likely to be most eyentful.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under stimulating planetary influ- ences which should urge them to prepare for widening fields of work. Astrologers forecast tremendous ex- pansion for public service into which American wives, mothers and daughters will be enrolled. The fact that in postwar times there will be a majority of women in the nation has been emphasized by economists who advise inten- siye training for girls. In the fu- ture there will be little leisure or hap hazard existence for American women.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Farmers will profit through the Autumn. In looking toward to the Spring of 1943, labor problems will encourage agriculture on great scale that permits wholesale mechanical meth ods. Much will be learned from
 Russia's experiments in combining vast areas of land for scientific cultivation of the soil. Those who
 read the stars foretell the need of
 Government direction of food pro-
 duction for a long period. NATIONAL ISSUES: New lessons in economy will be learned before
 the end of the yeah- Government

 bat do not c0mspep
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13


 This is a day of contradictory planetary influences, but benefic aspects rule the churches and the clergy. The date is favorable for pursuing themes in religious teach ings which have not provoked con- troversies.
 HEART AND HOME: Christian ity that is applied in the daily thought and activity will prove helpful to many families bereayed by war. Spiritual illumination due to sorrow will inspire many splen- did deeds of kindness. Plans for rebuilding civilization on strong 1 foundations will gradually take form and promise of social better men will encourage enthusiastic preparation for better living when peace brings healing to prostrated millions of men and women.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Ameri- cans who possess foresight will plan improvement in many lines of busi- ness when international commercial relations are readjusted Many les sons will be taught by the exegencies lof the war. Justice and honesty must rule in trade and commerce l if peace is to be lasting, astrol- ogers point out. Greed and op- pression must be forever eliminated as the United States takes the postwar helm of trade and com merce.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Because the stars presage the exercise of spe- cial privilege in certain political policies there will be much dissat- 1 isfaction in various states where party machinery is well oiled Elec- tion plans may interfere seriously with the duties of many legislators who must exercise caution in sthe support they give to war meas ures. There is configuration read as conducive to caution wherever self-interest is involved. Patrio- tism that absorhs all the people will be rare until after it is less needed than at present. In other words, the seers explain that when victories become the rule unity of aims will prevail.
 |
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As the only nation with two oceans upon which enemy ships sail, the United States will have the great est opportunity to demonstrate full strength. This means that perils will multiply as desperation grips the Axis powers, astrologers predict. This year, which has been desig- mated as decisive in it's trend to- ward victory for the United Ma tions, may record attempted inva- sions Final victory will be gained when our strength is fully mustered but months may intervene before the Axis is finally defeated. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- plexities in which it is obligatory to avoid litigation or any form of extravagance. Benefits and cov- eted recognition will come to few
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be fortunate for they will have good brains and strong char acters. In love affairs they should : be cautious.

this war you may have to junk an airplane model overnight and build a different one to beat the latest Nazi invention. On the other hand, little business is like a rab- bit. It starts faster and can hop in any direction"
 MT. Williams does not say SO, but perhaps one reason for de- ficiencies in U. s. fighter planes has been the fact that U. S. fac tories fooled up for one model, then were unable to change in a hurry.
 British mistakes which Williams believes the United States might profit from include:
 l. Pirating labor. British law now forbids a factory worker to change his job without the consent of the government. This is to prevent big firms from hiring men away from little firms.
 9 Priorities. When a British manufacturer gets a war order, an order foS raw materials is at tached to the contract. This is automatic, and there is no worry about priorities.
 3. Drafting men from industry to the army. Britain did this at first, then had to send them back There is no use having a big army in the field, says Williams, if there are not enough men at home 10 keep it properly equipped
 Meanwhile, 70 percent of Brit aims ammunition is turned out by factories employing 50 workers or less.

ELMER DAVIS TOUGH JOB

Government friends of Elmer Davis are both sympathetic and skeptical over his decision to go on the air once a week to report to the nation.
 They figure that this is a case of a shoemaker reaching for his last. Davis, none too happy with the difficult job of running the Office of War Information, and han1strung on lot of ideas, has now decided to back to the radio broadcasting which made him fa- nous. This time he will speak not for a sponsor but for the govern ment
 Unquestionably his broadcasts Will be a hit-at first. But the iob of originating news which moulds the destiny of a nation, father than commenting on news which already has been originated, may De a tough assignment.

On Freezing Order
Construction Curb to

Bigger Cash Reserve

Key officials of Imperial
Irrigation district met in Ell
Centre Wednesday night to
analyZe the effects of the lat
est freeze" order of the war
production board, and came to the
conclusion that:
|. The order prohibiting "raids''
of one electric power distributing
company on customers of a COM
peting firm will not jeopardize the
services now being rendered to
present irrigation district power
users, OF to future customers not
now served by either organization,
but who may connect with district
lines.
2. Limiting to $1,000 the sum that
may be spent without a special
WPB permit on new agricultural
construction projects will greatly
improve the cash financial condi-
ton of the district, enabling the
building up of reserve against the
time when expansion will be per-
mitted.
District President Evan Il. Hewes
said Thursday that while the new
WPB order freezes" competition
between the district and the other
power company now serving the
valley for existing power customers,
it does not prevent either concern
from going after new business. Nor

The Soviet spokesman at kulDy-
sheV said the Germans now had
concentrated nine-tenths of their
fighting strength on the Russian
front and that Hitler urgently was
demanding but not always getting
additional soldiers from Axis satel-
lite states in addition to calling up
100000 youthful German reserves.
Nine-tenths of the Nazi strength
would be probably 100000 men, in
view of Axis losses in Russia, but
any estimate OF such manpoWer fig
ureS is largely guess work.
BRITISH AGREE
British sources agreed with the
Russian estimate of Axis strength
on the eastern front, reporting that
Hitler had planned to use about
IS per cent of his strength in the
Soviet union this summer while
maintaining Is per cent in the west
to guard against Allied attacks from
Norway to France.
Two factors, however, have appar-
emily disrupted the Nazi plans.
First, the Red army has kept on
attacking despite the spring thaw
and the Soviet spokesman said that
immense" Russian reserves were
moving into battle in a campaign
to break up offensive plans of the
enemys armies from the Arctic to
the Black sea. A German order of
the day. captured by the Russians,
was said to warn the Axis troops
of impending Soviet offensive ac-
ton on a big scale.
Second, the Axis appeared to be
taking extraordinary precautions
against an American British inva-
sion of Europe this summer-one
London dispatch suggested May
was a possible zero hour-as well as
against the Allied aerial and Com
mando offensive.
HITLER'S PLANS
These Developments, it was en-
phasized, should not in any way be
taken to mean that Hitler will be
unable to launch his expected all
out offensive against southern Rus
STA or that an Allied invasion in
the west is assured. Best opinion
in London has been that a western
invasion is much less likely than
increased Commando and aerial
attacks, with American forces par
ticipating.
