Education for the children of the family is to undergo |certain changes which will be anxiously considered by parents, | astrologers forecast. Stronger | foundations of knowledge will be laid in a year that compels the elimination of many cultural ac- | tivities. Again the three r's will become of pxime importance while hands as well as brains are trained. Shrinkage of attendance at high schools and colleges will affect long- | established programs of diverse ac- "tivities but gains as well as losses are presaged for students. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: More and more taxes are prophesied and many lines of business will be affected by the drain on capital. Wage-earners |are counseled to be careful in bud- geting their spending money for the coming Winter. Certain occultists predict that extremely cold weather will increase demands for fuel. The Fall retail trade will be brisk, for actual needs will cause generous buying of necessaries. Luxuries will be less popular and fashions for |women will conform to wartime needs. NATIONAL ISSUES: Complete reorganization or elimination, of certain agencies in Washington will be insistently urged by the leg- islators who really represent the people of the United States. Red tape will be cut too late to prevent many national perplexities and re- curring difficulties. The seers pre- | dict that sweeping economies in government expenses will be con- | stantly advocated by [hewspapers.
