Be careful, however, that new alliances aren't established that lead you to disregard relationships of long stand­ ing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It behooves you to give some serious thought today to how you intend to clean up old obliga­ tions you owe to different parties. Figure out a program. Major changes are ahead for Cancers in the coming year. Send for your Astro-Graph predictions today. Mail $1 to Astro-Graph, Box 489. Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. Be sure to state your zodiac sign. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don't allow impet­ uous associates to coerce you into mak­ ing important decisions late in the day. You might not be thinking as clearly as you should. VIRGO (Aug. 23-S«pt. 22) You may have a tendency to create problems for your­ self today. If you keep this in mind, frus­ trations can be avoided. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It ma? be wise to avoid attending functions this evening where you could run into people with whom you've had disagreements. These matters are not yet resolved. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Today your ego could be more vulnerable than usual. Don't expect accolades from others if none are due. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-D«c. 21) Instead of looking for the faults in friends today, try to focus on their good points. If you begin td criticize them, you won t like their response. CAPRICORN (Doc. 22-Jan. 19) Pals will resent it if you are too curious about their confidential affairs today. Don't probe for information where your questions are unwelcomed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Later in the day neither you nor your mate are apt to be too tolerant of one another. Should a disagreement arise, don't air it in public. PI8CE8 (Feb. 20-March 20) Pace your­ self wisely today or you're likely to push both your mental and physical energies beyond their limits. Do fewer things, but do them well. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Relax and don't take yourself or events too serious­ ly today, especially social situations. If you get uptight, it'll spoil everyone's fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It's best not to begin do-it-yourself projects around the house late in the afternoon. You might disrupt things more than improving them. * GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you go out on the town this evening and make it a late night, don't try to recapture lost time by speeding home. Drive carefully. HEALTH By D r . L a w r e n c e E . L a m b , M . D . , N e w s A m e r i c a S e r v i c e Woman is troubled with asthma DEAR DR. LAMB: I am 60 years old and have bronchial asthma. I am not overweight: I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 118 pounds, so obesity is not a problem. I find I can't do really vigorous exer­ cise, but I like to walk five to 15 miles a day in the summer. In the winter it's a different 9tory. I can't walk half a block without gasping for air and feel­ ing like I'm going to collapse. You mentioned a device to warm the air we breathe outdoors, and I would be grateful if you would suggest where I might get something for this. My doctor has put me on Ventolin and Beclovent inhalers four times a day and Tedral pills three times a day to keep the air passages open. DEAR READER: When the weather gets cooler and you need one, you might check with the sporting goods stores for a "cold weather mask." It is now recognized that there are tw6 main mechanisms involved in asthma, the allergic one that everyone thinks about, and a nerve reflex one that is unrelated to allergy. Nerve receptors in the lungs are stimulated and through reflex action cause con­ striction of the airways (vagovagal reflex). Cold air or loss of heat from. the lungs can trigger this reflex. So it is not unusual for asthmatics to be able to exercise in warm weather but not in cold weather. You may get some benefit from cromolyn sodium, which has a dif­ ferent action from the other medica­ tions you are taking. It will not relieve an acute attack, and is not used for that purpose, but it will prevent attacks in some people. It is particularly useful in preventing exercise-induced asthma. I have discussed current thinking about asthma in The Health Letter, Special Report 40, "Understanding Asthma," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self- addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Ir­ vine, CA 92713. The reflex stimulation of bron- chospasm and asthma attacks is the basis for wheezing and asthmatic symptoms during respiratory infec­ tions. A viral infection of the head or lower respiratory tract, either one, can stimulate the reflex. Since this is not an allergic reaction, antihistaminics may not be very useful, but medicines to block the vagal reflex may help. DEAR DR. LAMB: I have been CROSSWORD diagnosed as having "dry eye." Both of my eyes hurt terribly. Artificial Tears burn too badly so I use a lubri­ cant eight or nine times a day in one eye. That ends pain in both eyes tem­ porarily, but I cannot see clearly because of the lubricants. I cannot read my mail, as my eyes start hur­ ting. Is there anything I can take by mouth, such as cod liver oil or vitamin E, to correct my condition? 1 must carry this Lacri-Lube with me when I go out, as the pain may start. DEAR READER: I hope you are seeing an eye specialist. There are several different causes for dry eyes, and the conditions should not be neglected. It is true that some people do not tolerate various preparations to replace tears. You don't know unless you try. Dr. Robert Fox and colleagues of the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, Calif, prepared a special formula for pa­ tients who have trouble with commer­ cial preparations. The preparation is made from the serum of the patient's own blood, diluted with sterile salt solution. Dr. Fox reported good results with this preparation but noted that it didn't cause a total disappearance of the patient's symptoms.

Inc By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterpr ise Assoc ia t ion Down one on good day North had enough in aces and kings (prime cards) so that he rightly won­ dered whether his side had a game After all. his partner had come in. vulnerable, with a two-spade over- call. North finally decided that South might have been stretching a bit to deny the opponents an unhindered run at a part-sgore, so he bid only three spades. There wasn't a bad play for four spades. If trumps divided 3-2. then all dec' would need would be a dia- moi vision so that the fourth dia- moi._ dummy would be good, or the favorable location of the club queen. That, however, was not the problem. Against the actual three-spade contract, three rounds of hearts were quickly led. South decided to play the hand extra safely. On the third heart he simply discarded a club. Now he would make the hand even if West held four spades, the diamonds didn't split, and the queen of clubs was wrong. That wasn't bad thinking. Sud­ denly a club was returned, West ruffed low. and declarer was down one. Some days you just can't make a nickel. Even if declarer trumps the third heart, he can't make the hand. West will refuse to take the spade ace until the third round, and should South play clubs after two rounds of spades, West will be careful not to ruff in until the club ace is played. That will stop declarer from making nine tricks. South was unlucky to be set, but was fortunate that his side did not arrive at four spades doubled, down two.
