. HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3

This is not an important day in
planetary direction. Jupiter is in
benefic aspect. There is a sign in
dicating disturbing news of some
sort. Aviators should be especially
cautious.
Heart and Home: This is a day
for rest and recreation. Under
this configuration II is wise not to
dwell upon war news and the wise
will get rid of apprehensions. In
formal social gatherings should
mark this week end which should
be fortunate in many ways. Warn
ing is given that in training camps
men will become restless and un-
consciously susceptible to fifth
column suggestions critical of our
war policies. In word, thought and
deed. it is most important that
families should be unswervingly
loyal and optimistic. This month
is TO bring many severe tests to
United States citizens.
Business Affairs: Gradually the
pinch of war will be felt by civil
ians but business will be generally
good. Again the seers forecast
profits from new lines of industry.
some of which develop from clever
Inventions that are the result of
war needs. Spending will be gen.
erous and retail merchants will
have first rate fall season. Due
to a sense of sacrifice for war
needs. fashion leaders will wear
simple costumes and limit enter
tanning. Later in the season furs
will be eschewed as need of them
by our boys who fight in cold cli-
mates is recognized.
National Issues: Opposition to
the trend OF increased numbers of
women in industry will be strong
as efficiency is proved. Certain
heads of factories will object to
the influx of girls, but the stars
are read as encouraging equality
Of opportunity. Women's organ
izations will push equal rights
legislation which has been long
neglected in congress. The seers
predict postwar economic condi-
tons that make vocations neees-
sary for women of all classes.
International Affairs: With the
opening OF the twentieth century
this nation began 10 take a wider
humanitarian interest in the peo-
pies Of the world. The fact that
our friendly offices and kindly
relations with certain powers have
brought only the most terrible
perils must be accepted philosoph-
ieally. AstroloEers have frequently
warned Of surprises as producing
fsr-reaching results and again
they declare that dangers from
unexpected quarters threaten.
Within the United States there is
a spreading influence due TO SUBJ
versive organizations which con-
unue TO exist secretly.
