Your op­ portunities for increased earnings will be numerous. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your effec­ tiveness and productivity will be greatly lessened today if you approach matters with a poor attitude. Happy thoughts make life easier. Major Changes are ahead for Virgos in the coming year. Send for your Astro-Graph predictions today. Mail $1 to Astro-Graph, c/o this newspaper, Box 1846, Cincinnati. OH 45201. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Relax and en­ joy yourself today, but don't kid yourself into believing that just because an activ­ ity is expensive, it will be fun. The oppo­ site may be true. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-NOV.22) If you re planning a happening at your place to­ day, double-check to be sure all your in­ vites can attend, so that you don't over­ stock or prepare too much. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Strive to be open-minded today. Assignments predicated upon bias will get you off on the wrong foot and cause complications. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You d better make a list in advance if you plan to go shopping today or you could end up buying things you may never use or cost too much. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Clarify your objectives today so that you don't get off on tangents. Once you begin to drift, it will be difficult to get back on course. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 19) Disappoint­ ment is likely if you do something for an­ other today hoping to get more in return. Uood deeds with strings attached will end up in knots. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If someone you know only casually is more attentive to you today than usual, be alert for ulte­ rior motives. You won't be taken advan­ tage of if you're on guard. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your vic­ tories will be hollow ones today if you are too self-seeking. Look out for your own interests, but don't step on the other guy's toes in the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) No one will think less of you today for asking ques­ tions about things you don't under­ stand. However, you'll irritate others if you pretend to know something you don't. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be doubly cautious and prudent in your financial dealings today, especially if you are in­ volved with strangers. Don't make as­ sumptions; get the facts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It could be a mis­ take in the long run to let someone else make an important decision for you Jo- day. Don't let others think for you just because it's the path of least resistance. HEALTH By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D., News America Service Migraines can be major problem DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 39-year- old female and had another migraine attack. My doctor says it is a typical migraine. It lasts about 30 minutes with wavy white heat lines and then a headache. However, I do not get a very severe headache. Sometimes none at all, thank heavens. I get wavy lines in both eyes at once, not Just one. Can you give me some information on migraines? I've eaten a lot of chocolate lately and had a lot of iced tea and colas today, also. Could caffeine be the culprit? I'm no more tense today than any day last week. Is that a factor? DEAR READER: Many people seem to think that if you have a migraine headache you are severely Incapacitated, and you can be. Some people have such severe pain that they stay almost motionless in bed in a dark room until the attack is over. And the attack can last several days. But that is only one way a migraine can affect patients. Many more patients have mild, short attacks that are not particularly incapacitating. The fact that your headache is mild and of short duration does not mean it is not a migraine. Your story is fairly typical of the mild migraine. The visual disturbance before the headache begins is now believed to be from constriction of arteries to parts of the brain that receive nerve impulses from your eyes. The headache follows when these s a m e a r t e r i e s d i a l a t e t o overcompensate for the constriction. While it is often difficult to treat severe migraine headaches, the mild forms can often be managed with simple analgesics, including aspirin. You will learn a lot more about migraine headaches from reading The Health Letter 16-12, "Headaches, and What to Do About Them," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can sent 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. Too much caffeine may cause migraine attacks. But if you are not heavy on coffee and colas, a strong cup of coffee at the beginning of an attack may abort. Incidently, chocolate will precipitate a migraine attack in some people. So will foods that contain tyramine, such as ripe cheese. DEAR DR. LAMB: Can you tell me what causes polyarteritis? Our 38- year-old son suddenly complained of a terrible headache. He had this for about a week. He went to a doctor to have his blood pressure checked. He was told it was high but nothing to worry about. He left the doctor's office and stopped in a restaurant for lunch. While there he had a massive stroke. He was later diagnosed as having polyarteritis. He lived for five months, not being able to swallow food or his own saliva. I think I know what the disease is but I don't know what brought it on. Could it be diet? And how could he have been saved? DEAR READER: It is a disease characterized by inflammatory nodules of the arteries. The cause is not really known, but it seems to be r e l a t e d t o a l l e r g i c - l i k e hypersensitivity or even an autoimmune disease. There are several different medical problems that are sometimes associated with it. The nodules degenerate and cause hemorrhage or actually block an artery. In that way they can damage any organ, including the brain, as occurred in your son. Treatment leaves a lot to be desired but corticosteroids are commonly used, and more recently with Cytoxan, an anticancer drug. WHAT ARE \ JUMP 'EM YOU GOING J BEFORE THEY TO PO P Je* SPOT tT! a-r?

A frequent representa­ tive of his country in European and world competition, he has won many prestigious events. This recent deal shows that he is a dangerous foe when psychology is the crucial factor. The bidding of this deal may not be accurate, but the play is reported correctly. Against the slam. West first played his ace of diamonds and then shifted to the queen of spades. Any declarer worth his salt is indif­ ferent to going set an extra trick or two, not vulnerable in an undoubled contract, when there is an outside chance to make the contract. Tarlo is no exception. He won the spade ace and proceeded to play out all his red suit winners without bothering to cash the ace and king of clubs. At the tenth trick, East had to make a deci­ sion. His Q-J-10 of clubs were needed to prevent dummy's clubs from becoming good (or so he thought). But need he really hold on to the king of spaces? After all, didn't his partner promise possession of the spade jack when he led the queen of spades at trick two? Suiting his action to that thought, East released the king of spades. Joel Tarlo took the last three tricks with the J-7-5 of spades.
