HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” e it ) THURSDAY, JULY ‘1 on is Benefic aspects are strong this fitst day of the month. It a fortunate planetary sway for our armed forces HEART AND HOME: This is a day most favorable to the dctivi- ties of women. It is auspicious for planning and preparing for sum- mer recreations and special atten- tion should be paid to boys and girls of high school age who will be subjected to unusual ‘eonditions| due to wartime. This summer va- | cation will offer many problems in care and guidance. Increase of ju- venile delinquency is presaged by the signs which seem to warn of threatening to youth of | background and good perils substantial tradition. BUSINESS AFFAIRS! Owing lo marvels in production for war| needs, reconversion of certain fac- torles that formerly were devoted| to civilian needs will be possible at this time. Again household ap- pliances will be obtainable and new models of electric refrigerators, | washing machines and other labor-| saving devices will be greatly im- proved. Housewives who are em- ployed in war industries will have reason to rejoice, especially as there will be plenty of money in the fam- ily budget to permit purchases. NATIONAL ISSUES: As mid- summier nears, the proper preser- vation of food becomes of prime concern. Home canhing on the history will be speeded, but there is a sign that seems to warn that economy is as- sured by wholesale methods of freezing fruits and vegetables, War- limitations will prevemt the of central freezing communities, especially small population, butj in the} is to follow the in of plants those new order that tions important to the health of the people. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Owing to Naz recognition of ap- proaching defeat, peace overtures the seers fore- |cast. The new Moon of tomorrow brings Jupiter to culmination in what is approximately the longitude |of Berlin and Rome. Jupiter also transits Hitler's midheaven within| the fortnight. Peace parties mayi kill{organize even in England and the‘ United States. There is a sign read\ as presaging the growth of reugious influences which will emphasize justice and right and antagonize any premature cessation of hostili- ties. Lessons from the First. World War will be effective. Persons whose birthdate it is !have the augury of a year of good fortune. Prosperity will mark busi- ness affairs and good luck will at- tend those who wear uniforms. Children born on this day should {be exceedingly clever. Inventors sculptors and those who have ex- ceptional manual dexterity belong to this sign.
