Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 193S.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1886. Conflicting planetary aspects are active today, according to astrology. In the early morning hours un- rest and discontent may be preva- lent in many places. Women today are likely to be eX- ceedingly sensitive to adverse in fluences and may seek to gain their aims through deceit and intrigue. It is a most threatening day for love affairs, new or old. ''
 Under this configuration a sense of injustice may incite many per- sons to inpetuous acts, for those who prosper will appear to be safe ly entrenched against many of lifes ills.
 Revelations regarding political corruption and devious methods of administering public business are prognosticated, but they will have only slight effect
 This is fortunate day for sailing on long cruise or for starting im- portant journeys. Summer tours will be marked by unusual exper- fences and will attract great num- bers of travellers.
 Late today there is sign prom ising to industry and especially to trained workers. The seers continue to warn the young that success de- bends largely on the cultivation of special talents
 Owing to the widespread extent of popular education it is necessary for ambitious young folks to devel- op gifts that are unusual if they would win rapid recognition.
 The Moon today is in Scorpio, a sign that encourages firmness of will, self control and a natural re- sourcefulness. For that reason 1t Is a first rate time to make plans.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of real progress in business affairs. Elder. ly persons may be helpful to many women.
 Children born on this day may be of extremely active mind and body. Subjects of this sign usually have great energy and may reach unusual fame.
 Robert E. Peary, Arctic explorer, was born on this day 1856. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Oscar w. Underwood, Senator, 1862; Philander c. Knox, statesman 1853.

A QUARTER MILLION FOR JUNEAU

Few cities, large or small are favored With the prospect that is to be Juneau's this summer. Many of do stop to realize it but least quarter of million dollars in money is coming into this community between now and next September.
 Half of the S64000 Nenana ice pool already has been awarded to a group of Juneau men, Around June Is, the bonus bonds will start coming to veterans of Gastneau Channel. American Legion officials place the number of veterans in this im- mediate vicinity at around 200; than l50 of them enrolled with the local post of the Legion. The National average bonus payment by the veterans bureau, considering loans already made, is $491 per Those who handled bonus appli- cations here state it probably will average better than $500 per veteran in this community. That that at least $lOO0O0 will here in bonus money and it probably will be closer to $l50.0OO.
 From around the first of June until September 10000 summer tourists will visit Juneau. Ad- bookings reveal that all the boats will be load ed. Some vision greater influx than last season but it be conservatively estimated at 10000 and if each spends little $5 here it be readily that somebody in Juneau is going to profit to the tune of around $lo0O00. Some will spend great deal more than S5, others may not part With nickel while the boat is in port, but it is safe to assume that tourist business is worth at least slOoOoo
 There's the picture for the next four months But let's go little further.
 The winners of the ice money already have indicated large part of theirs going toward clear ing up old obligations and generally rehabilitating themselves and their families And the bonus, what of that?
 Some of the veterans doubtless will hold their bonds urged by the government and collect three per cent annual interest on them, and it's sound idea. But there veterans with homes to be modelled new ones to be built Some will raise the mortgage, part of it. the old homestead Others grand opportunity to buy a boat, a automo- bile multitude of other things for which they never before had the spare cash And then there is the needs of the veterans family Johnny needs his tonsils out Susie should have her teeth fixed up mother needs convenences for the house All the needs that flesh is heir to subjects to be served when money is available.
 While the bulk of the tourist money naturally goes to the transportation companies, much of it is spread around in various houses, espec ialy those which make an effort to offer something inviting to the traveller and visitor.
