TEEN-AGERS AND THE WAR There is a natural impulse among boys and girls these days to forget school and go to work Jobs are waiting.

They will not only relieve a nursing shortage but prepare themselves for pro- fessional service in the long post-war reconstruction period. “Nursing is war work with a future” con- tains more truth than most slogans. The young women who heed the call have the double satisfac- tion of rising patriotically to a need and of aiding far-sighted physicians and public health officers who are even now formulating policies which will bring the best that science has to offer to sections of the country that have never known what good medicine and good nursing mean al Lewis.

The Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for the people of the United States. Uranus is in a place promising unity of purpose and true patriotism. HEART AND HOME: Letters bringing joyful tidings from dis- tant members of the family are forecast under this configuration It is a date promising to women who seek new avenues of useful- ness.

The stars seem to warn that many of the grandmothers of this war period will suffer mortal| illnesses and will require special |attention.

While rivers of money will flow from pockets to merchants’ money draw- ers and the sense of general pros- perity will be stimulating, the ten- 'dency to patronize big business {will be widespread.
