HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER B

 Adverse aspects rule the morn | ing hours of this day but later kindly stars prevail. Labor comes under favorable influences. HEART AND HOME: This is a 1 fortunate date for women. Ro- mantle love will flourish and do- nestle ties will strengthen under this configuration. Hospitalities and family reunions will be memorable There is fair promise for workers who should profit handsomely especially if they belong to labor unions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: When the United States emerges from the war the nations enormous re- sources will invite foreign powers to try to tap them even more abundantly than in the past. The seers warn that strict business methods should guide where un- selfish generosity is likely to pre- l
 vail
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Housing problems will afford opportunities to eliminate many slum districts in American cities. There are as- poets that seem to promise im- proved living conditions at Gov- ernment cost. Immense outlays for human betterment will be wise economies, the seers declare. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: Seismic disturbances may add to Japan's war extremity. The stars which have presaged earthquakes in many parts of the world are read as indicating real disaster for Tokyo or a city nearby.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which courage may be necessary to meet certain exigencies. Changes should be avoided if possible.
 Children born on this day prob ably will build their careers slowly and surely. Success is forecast as reward for this industry.

Bigger Tire Output
Brings Ray Of Hope
BY sILER FREEMAN

The rubber situation is shap-
ing up for the better and indica-
tons are that it will become in
creasingly more optimistic. The
announcement by the OPA that
a half million more tires viii be
made available during May to
B and c card holders is Just one
indication.
The - ray Of hope lies in
the announcement that small
sized tires Of synthetic are being
produced in larger and larger
quantities. The stepped-up out
put was expected more in the
second half of the year, rather
than in he second quarter.
But the nts have been COZ
quering obstacles since the first
Of the year. The orders for the
new machinery and equipment,
especially the huge Bamberrys
about which tire making res
wolves. are being filled faster
than was expected
Couple the increasing prodUc-
tion with the fact that synthetic
tires in the passenger cars sizes
are Just about as good as the
old natural rubber tire and mo-
florists ra11 take heart Even

into the picture quicker than
expected.

Surplus Drug Dumping
Worries Industry
BY WARD SCHULTZ

OF real interest 10 Detroit,
which is the home OF several of
the largest drug manufacturers
in the world, are recent reports
of threatened wholesale dump
ing of surplus drugs by the
army. .
Although extensive efforts
have been made 10 allay those
fears, the industry is not COM
pletety treasured as yet.
Favorable news includes re-
ports by the treasury depart-
ment that il has not been noti-
fled of any substantial SURPRISES.
Also, drug people in WIPES
chemical division, who keep a
close eye on any possible over
buying by the army, say that
they haven't seen any indlca-
tons of il in the drug field.
The industry. however. knows
that army buying has been IN
astronomical fTguT es VIII n
gagged by civilian standards and
that some stocks date back to
World War l.
The magazine Business Week
observes that the most reassur-
ing step has come from within

If SURPRISES develop the goods
are offered first 10 government
agencies. If they are not wanted.
however. they go to treasury
procurement, which now calls in
WPB to aid in finding mar

Stock Trends
Seen C|ouded
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor OF Economiea, n. Y. University
One of the surest things about
the stock market is that IL has
shown good resistance TO forces
working to push prices down. But
equally notable is the fact that IL
has broken out of a rising inter-
mediate trend and shown much
hesitancy on rallies. Probably
as reasonable a conclusion as any
is that the stock market average
seems 10 be headed for a period
of backing and filing during
which no sustained movement in
either direction is likely.
AS a general thing, it may be
said that stocks found strong
lower resistance on April "A and
25, which stopped the decline.
This was at about the same level
as the one at which the market
held on April 1919. This should
give considerable assurance TO
those who desire 10 Invest funds
in selected stocks.
At the same time. there are
enough stocks making new lows
for the year, or showing a series
of declining bottoms. to warrant
caution.
Certainly a period Of selectivity
is indicated, which means that
some shifting is likely 10 occur.
during which the indiscriminate
purchase OF stocks is 10 be
