The fall of Stalingrad is in the offing and the time to strike is ripe.

This is an aus- picious day for spiritual awareness. HEART AND HOME: The stars stimulate mental effort and bring in the high destiny of the nation. Through spiritual force manifested in physical power the democracies are to be saved, occultists declare. Great discoveries in relation to the persistence of personality persons who sustain bereavements through war casualties. As in the First World War, many reports of extraordinary visions and marvel- ous experiences on battlefields will awaken interest. evil portents presage the influence of greed among men who seek profits in war contracts. Although many revelations of profitecring | have been made, new scandals will be discovered. The line between the methods of corporations long successful and those of ambitious imitators who carry sharp prac- tices beyond the usual limit will be clearly drawn by the legal profes- sion, although it may be impercep- tible to the average citizen. { NATIONAL ISSUES: Continued discussion of problems relating to rubber and gasoline will be dis- | turbing to the people most inter- ested, but the stars seem to prom- ise that American resourcefdlnéss | will supply much dreaded lacks. | Athough many sacrifices ultimately | will be caused by the exigencies of war there are no omens of such serious food shortages and such grave needs as those that beset the people of Europe and Asia¢ Re- adjustments that relieve ing crisis are indicated for a ple noted for mobility as well as other inherited traits produced by pion- eer necessities. § INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Again surprises are prophesied in | | | Nations. Sagacious leaders = will show remarkable wisdom as they operate with unity that must over- whelm enemies at many points. India is to focus even more atten- tion than in recent weeks. Sudden death by a native who has gained great power is prognosticated. Too tardy concessions by Britain are Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ex- acting duties and unusual expet- iences. The utmost caution in word and act is recommended. Children born on this day prob- ably will be ambitious, talented and successful. They will pursue any profession that they choose with enthusiasm which hastens advance- ment. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 Benefic aspects dominate today which should be most fortunate for industry, although accidents may be more numerous than usual. Un- certain war news is indicated. HEART AND HOME: This is a month of upheavals in social life, or drastic changes in the mode of living. conjunction of Mars and Neptune on Neptune's progressed place seem to presage. many losses of our fighting men who must face severe dangers and encounter much trea- chery. There is a sign that prom- ises good news from sons and hus- bands who are fighting in foreign lands. It is wise to adhere to great hopes that prevent fears from gain- ing influence. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Heavier taxes will affect buying by those who derive incomes from long-time investments, but merchants wiil profit from the spending of wage earners. Ten per cent tithing now will be generally approveq and thé necessary expenditures for war will inspire real sacrifices among eifi~ zens of every class. Inflation will be more difficult to overcome as the Autumn advances. / NATIONAL ISSUES: Women's efficiency in the auxiliary armed forces will be so emphatically dém- onstrated that both the Army and Navy will enlist many more than the numbers first authorized by Congress. Women who have suc- to American families added faith ' after | death will be comforting to many | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Certain | the aggressive plans of the Umted| indicated by todays configuration. !

Vaile, engineer with the Bureau of Public Roads, left the previous evening on the Estebeth for Skagway where he was to inspect the Skagway project. | The Post Office Department was going after Government officials in the*matter of free transmission of official matter. The Post Office Department had & rule that matter for free transmission was limited to foir pounds. According to word received by Postmaster Z. M. Bradford, it had become the common custom to split up packdges going to a sfhglé person into several small packages in order to come within the four-pound limit.

Equal rights demands will be heard by the legislators who long have been deaf to appeals from women citizens of the United States. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Since the United Nations have proved able to win by clever strat- egy and amazing surprises, they wili succeed in offensive tactics, as- trologers predict. Changes in lead- ership will unify armies and navies in tremendous movements that at first may be obstructed by enemy forces. Submarine menaces will not be overcome until after a ter- rible record of losses, the seers forecast. Our air strength will be greatly increased. by the end of the month, Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good Yortune, provided vigilance in busi- neéss matters, large and small, is exercised, Children born on this day prob- ably will have high aspirations and definite taléents.
