WERE YOU BORN IN
 DECEMBER?

If you are wondering why men who are born in December are fearless and women who own the twelve month for nativity are both passionate and ehaste, cease wond- ering. Astrology has the answer.
 Such humans were born beneath Sagittarius. The sign of the thigh is responsible. It makes men handsome, physically strong, and or commanding personality. Wo- men it inspires 10 intensity of love, sacrifice and chastity.
 It is a great month to born in December. The men are execu- tives Of business and of enterprise, the women are executrix of the home. The men are free and easy of address, open of heart, honor able and decisive. The women are deeply religious, noble of purpose, and devoted to their families. As mothers they are deeply affection ate, but more just and given to ad- oration of abstract justice than are women of other signs. They ready to send their sons into battle for their countries in times of war, even tho it means heartbreak and on
 1ley are generally conceited and desire to be the major actor in all ventures in which they are con eenc !, but never so much for their owA selfish gain as for the satis- faction which their active natures demand.

IS
 HANDICAPPED
BY EARLY FREEZE UP OF COON
 INLET AND NO TRAIL 2

Exchanges from the westward say that owing to the early freeze m of Cook Inlet, the freighter, Seward has had to unload her cargo of 600,000 feet of lumber consign- ed to the engineering commission, and e5 tons of freight for Anch- orage, at Seward. where storage room is greatly taxed. Among other things in the Stewards cargo is a complete fire equipment, the diverting here of which leaves An chorage in a serious predicament, and it is thought that an attempt will be made to take part of the equipment over by rdog team.
 The commission freight includes bridge timber. lumber, locomotive crane and other material.
 Judging by the amount of bar reled whiskey labeled butter" and other barreled refreshments label ed "alcohol." not to mention the cases of 'dried meats" one of which was accidentally broken open and found to contain whiskey kegs, the bootleggers at Anchorage suffered a severe disappointment by the early closing of ths inlet.
 To remedy that it is stated there would be regular freight service from Seward to Anchorage during the winter with rate of aproxi- mately 25 cents 8 pound. To Knik 30 cents, Susitna B, Takotna so, and Iditarod S100.
 The passenger rates by sled are Seward to Anchorage. S25; to Knik, sSO; to Takotna, s1o0; to Iditarod. s125. Passengers on the mail sleds. however. take chances of hay ing to mush over the rough places. Special prices for rush trips are made by the various dog mushers.

Will Collect Red
 Cross Lists Today

Announcement recently made is to the effect that the committee hay ing the collection of funds for the American Red Cross society in charge will collect all Red Cross lists to- day. The money subscribed, as well as that collected by other means is therefore to be sent Out side within the next few days, and. although the amount is small coln- pared to what has been collected elsewhere, it is doubtful if any town )n the Outside the size of Fair banks, will have contributed more.
 The people of Interior Alaska gen. orally have responded generously to the appeal for help sent out by the American Red Cross society shortly after the opening of the European war. The fund at the present time amounts to $712.75. This amount does not include the funds subscrib- ed on the lists which will be collect ed today. nor several smaller amounts which are yet expected to arrive here from other places. It is there fore believed that when all is count ed the Red Cross fund will be swell ed by nearly 5000 from Fairbanks and vicinity.
 Among those who have taken spe- cial interest in the matter locally are James A. Fairborn. A. J. Pauli J. A. Mcintosh and Andrew Hoey

SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least SO Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists is
Concerned.

Truman H. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
US that a favorite theme of the artist
the sea battle-is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles, if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones,
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely a matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, a few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth Of
ships to scrap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the ira
ditions Of sea fighting have been up
set.
It was predicted that modern war
fare on land would be stripped Of all
it's former aspects, but we are told Of
bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards
apart, of steel helmets and even of full
suits Of armor being used. Yet on the
sea what destruction has been
wrought has been through methods
far removed from the old-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes of
other days won their fame.

Time Didr't Matter.

A prominent lawyer tells this tale
of the hills of Kentucky. He had been
in Jackson during the hearing of
big land case, and after the strain oi
several weeks in the courtroom had
decided to take trip up in the noun
tains and enjoy the Quieting influences
of the hills. He travelled the paths
and narrow mountain roads till ha
found himself, at the end of several
days journey, about forty or fifty
miles from the railroad. 1t was about
noon, the lawyer judged, for his watch
had run down and he could not be
exact. But in the midst of this deep con
temptation the lawyer came upon an
old darby sitting upon a bOwldel
longside the road.
What time have you?" he asked oB
the old darby.
well, sub, boss, the old watch sayn
she's about ten minutes to twelve"
was the reply.
Is that sun time or railroad time?
again questioned the lawyer.
What difference does that makei
