The late| afternoon is more fortunate for| religious and political leaders than| arg the earlier hours. Women are| well directed. Heart and Home: Domestic in- terests are fortunate under - this sway. It is a lucky day for young folk interested in romance. Women are under a direction of the stars| stimulating to their energies and fortunate for their love affairs. vented, There may be an inclination folk to assert their fan- ciéd superiority Business Affairs: With the com- ing of autumn, trade should be| good, although restricted commerce will influence manufacturing. The| burden of increased taxes will be| heavy, but must be borne cheer- | fully. Merchants will profit lhrouihi fall buying which may be less gen- erous than usual where luxuries are concerned. Many Paris industries will be transferred or duplicated in the United States. | National Issues: Defense of two| sea coasts will be urged more and more as international crises pro-! duce unexpected possibilities, Sur-| prise will continue to be an ele- ment in war policies. Astrologers long have prophesied that the United States is to become the| greatest of nations and now the wise will realize that the price of] peace may be costly in more than mere dollars. International Affairs: Japan will keep the Pacific fleet on guard as ambitions are encouraged by totali- tarian powers, but the seers prog- nosticate reverses in China, despite| the extended occupation of terri- tory. Hawaii is to be the center of naval interest through the autumn. Aviators will increase in the Is- lands where there may be much| work by fifth column representa- tives. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune. The young will be interest- ed in love affairs. It is well to; keep one’s secrets and to avoid| confidantes. * g Children born on this day probh- ably will be strongly individual.

International Affairs: Two con- junctions of Jupiter and Saturn this year are believed to be respon- sible for important events as world history is made. In February, 1941, there will be a third conjunction of the two planets which is read as hopeful for liberty and justice. | The seers declare that great re- forms will follow that which has appeared to threaten human ad- vancement.

The morning is| promising for ‘the signing of ,leases| or contracts. | Heart and Home: Women should | be cautious today. It is wise to| defer important decisions or tive. There may be extreme sensi-| tiveness regarding business matters | per should be sternly controlled.| Fault-finding and criticism should | be avoided with special care. This| is a time for a wise survey of one's | faults as well as one’s talents... Business Affairs: New world con- ditions will affect trade and will introduce many novel articles of| merchandise. Merchants who cater to women’s needs will find less de- mand for costly. things and more for practical articles. Dress anu so= cial customs will show the influence of changing conditions. Modistes| and milliners will meet problems that require foresight. Fashions meeting the demands of wome; who are in public service wi profitable. National Issues: Astrol have forecast the imper quirement of statesmen experience and ; foresight, to aid the forces of 1 es of litigation, especially divorce suits. Children born on this day prob- ably will be self-reliant to the point of over-confidence. They are likely to be keenly intelligent and certain of success. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 Benefic aspects rule today. It is fortunate for those who deal the finer things of life. Purveyors of music and art should benefit. The evening is a time work of campaign managers or civic leaders. | Heart and Home: Women are un- der the best possible direction to- day. It is a date for seeking em-| sudden - decisions ployment, but should be avoided. The judgment may not be trustworthy, but there will be good luck which should be wisely used. Love affairs will flour- ish under this configuration which encourages the marriage of those who have engaged in summer ro- mances and the beginning of new interest on the part of young folk. Business Affairs: Merchants and manufacturers may expect lively ‘| times through the autumn when the great outpouring of public funds for defense will benefit per- “Governmental safe- ‘ Vfiéfi:flkfi life. r I8 should make their lives beautiful whign,_pro-, gress will become manifest in- the guards. History is to repeat itself | in many ways as the autumn brings about important events. The chil- dren’s crusade, bringing refugees, is to be fortunate for the future. National Issues: Danger to the health of a political leader is fore- cast, Vice presidential candidates come under strange portents that seem to presage extraordinary ex- periences. Women who preach ex- alted ideals of. patriotism will com- mand respectful hearing as they| demonstrate efficiency in public| service. War refugees, young and| old, are to become assets instead of liabilities, the stars indicate. International Affairs: Revolution- ary influences are to gain strength in the countries subdued by Hit- ler. The reign of the dictators after victory for the British Empire 1s to be of short duration, astrologers predict, but the war in Europe may be prolonged for months.
