HOROSCOPE. "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, MAY 13

i Conflicting planetary influences are strong today. Adverse aspects gain sway after the morning hours.
 HEART AND HOME; There is sign promising to the aims of wo- linen. Whatever belong to the home | is under. favorable direction of the stars. The urge to beautity dwell ings and to add to domestic com forts will be strong among house keepers of all classes. This should be happy wedding day, although war conditions will test conStancy. Marriages between young persons under voting age will increase in number. Many girls will leave school to become brides with or without parental consent, it is forecast. f
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Amazing expansion of war industry plants will cause financial experts to plan 1 for their use in peacetime. This may mean establishment of cooper ative projects on vast scale con ducive to the general god through reconstruction years, the seers fore see Today should be fortunate for certain commercial interests, es- pecially for experts of lend-lease merchandise. Under this configura- tion the public. should be inclined to make the best of all discomfortS due to the war.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Complete elimination of all social bars and race discrimination will be sought by large groups of American citi- zens. Intensified consciousness of restrictions in our great democracy will be due to political agitation
 which is greatly encouraged by
 fifth columnistS.. As preliminary of lasting peace among the nations of the world each must put its own house in order Here in the United
 States true democracy must be
 realized in all things.
