HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
Saturday, March ID

This is not an important day IN
planetary government. Laoor is un-
der threatening sign which seems
to presage some form of drastic leg
islation.
HEART AND HOME: Women to-
cav are most fortunate IL the guild
ance of the stars. They should be
stimulated to many forms of val
liable war service. 1t is time for
informal home Inequalities IN
which there is Opportunity to prove
that real enjoyment does not de-
pend upon costly entertainment.
Accompanying simpler social Gus
toms will be a return to old-time
dignities in which modern famil-
iarities are discarded. Whatever is
artificial will be replaced with ma
tural courtesy, it is foretold. Again
respect and reverence among rela-
tives and friends will become prev
alent.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merchan-
n
dising and manufacturing will
reach new volumes Retail shops
will acquire alluring stocks of goods
and fair profits will be general.
Women will spend more than Wash
ington dictates for spring ward
robes which Will be marked by
picturesque and extremely fem
mine modes in sharp contrast to
the many uniforms worn in war
work. Banks and bankers will ben
eft by certain international agree
ments
NATIONAL ISSUES: Congress
sional criticism and investigation
will give comfort to the enemy all
through the Spring, but they will
clarity many understandings. I'm
der this configuration the President
may resent unjust interpretations
of his official acts. The stars seem
to presage confusion and perplex-
tiles in Washington. Mastery OF. the
submarine menace will bring com.
fort to our nation which send
cargoes this month to Europe ane
Asia
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Mars rising may intensity poll

care and prudence the nation could
get along on. about 100000 tons of
rubber a year for both war and
civilian purposes.
