Heart and Home: Women will benefit today in the pursuit of routine duties. Girls should strive toward serious vocations and self-| discipline. The seers warn that modern modes and manners mean e | futfire difficulties. Although reac- tionary forces are evident, there will be many broken homes due to lack of domestic efficiency and the desire for pleasure in many forms. Business Affairs: Young men and young women will be in de- mand all through the spring as old employees are displaced and retired. Prosperity will stimulate enterprise and expansion. New in- | ventions will cause the creation of novel undertakings which "will be rapidly accepted. National Issues: Pension move- ments will continue to make pro- | gress. Elimination of men and wo- men of experience from ‘active \smk is to have serious results in the slowing down of certain manu- facturing industries. Small salaries for beginners will cause large loss- es. Washington will be burdened vy protests affecting trade unions and labor policies. Changes in the Cab- inet are forecast.
