Thus, both houses have passed the measure. It now goes back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. That the House will concur speedily is the understanding in Washington. The two principal things the new bill will do to our neutrality (1) Repeal the embargo which prevents us from selling a specified list of muni- tions and implements of war to any belligerent, and @) whatsoever into the war zone, making foreign pur- chasers take title to American goods in this country and carry them away in their own ships.

With all armies and navies and | | every branch of warfare oh # méchanized basis, metals of every kind are in unprecedented demand To meet the demand, mines and factories must | be tuned up for war production—be it in the countries supplies to the belligerents. The mining industry provides most of the sinews of war, whether it be g silver or e and alloy metals Modern mining machi all these metals at maximum speed ¢ of cost. This in turn calls for more tories turning out equipment tools to cars to handle the product. An enormous range of metal and mineral products, luding oil, coal, copper,: iron, manganese, quick- tungsten and others are more important than| before in successful modern warfare. | The miner becomes more valuable than ever to| every nation. To cut him off in such’a critical period would be disastrous. The United States, realizing | this has set de large sums to stimulate production of war time metals, and is maneuvering to open many | properties long idle. Lower grade deposits will become | workable under the higher prices, which seem in- | evitable ! Alrcady many mines long idle are starting to| operate, and metal prices have an upward trend | American metal authorities are quoted as saying | that if the present European war lasts a year, meta]; prices in this country and in world markets will be| twice or three times present levels. Lead went to 12.25 cents a pound in 1917 during the World War, zinc | went to 2750 cents in 1915. silver went to $1.37%2 per ounce in 1919, and copper went to 37 cents per | pound in 1917. A long war might bring a return of | high prices and intensify mine development and pro- duction, Alaska has not a few mineral deposits which have | been dormant, and which may be expected to claim attention under the new conditions. To open them will require not only individual and organized effort | but a policy of providing more highways and other of transportation of the metals to market.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 30 Conflicting planetary aspects are today. The stars encourage workers to cooperaté with employers and merchants who are under stim- ulating sway. It is not a lucky date to launch a project, but should be favorable to pushing what well under way. It is unwise to sign con- tracts today. Heart and Home: After the early morning hours women should be fortunate today. This is a lucky wed- ding date, but brides probably will be dominated by their husbands The signs seem to indicate that men i | to| are | is | will be burdened by many responsi- bilities which women will share. The home financial partnership will be- come much closer than in the past. Business Affairs: Continued im- in the outloock of trade and commerce may be expected through the next few weeks.

This is a | fortunate date for constructive work. {Much building of machinery is presaged and again the trend toward secrecy will be definite as govern- ment contracts are filled. National Issues: Perils through the work of agents will assume new forms as the nations represented by secret organizations exhibit bitter hostil- ity to the United States. The dis covery of a large scale plot to under- mine the government will awaken the nation to dangers hitherto ig- nored as not likely to gain strength. Certain newspapers and magazines devoted to liberal thought will-come under severe_ criticism International Affairs: cruelties practiced in Spain will arouse indignation and affect cer- ain negotiations. Persecution of the nquished is to prevail in many parts of the world. Executions will increase in Europe as spies are sus- pected and loyalties are tested. Warning has been given repeatedly by astrologers that the winter will bring . serious problems. Economic wisdom should be sought by persons of all classes. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happiness hrough romance. Young and mid- dle-aged are subject to a rule of the stars which causes thom fo seek :ompanionship. Courtship and mar- riage will abscrb the of many. Children born on this day prob- ably will be shrewd, calculating and ingenious. These subjects of Scorpio have in them the elements of suc- cess, but love affairs may be disas- ‘rous to certain careers.
