THE ALASKA SETUP
By F. L. BARTLETT Chairman, Alaska Unemployment Compensation Commission

Teamed together within the framework of the Social Security Act the Territorial and Federal Gov ernments erecting strong buwark of defense against distress brought about by needy old age and unemployment
 Meeting recently in special session. the Alaska Leg islature passed bills tying in Alaskas social security program with that of the Federal Government. One bill provided for acceptance of Federal grantsin-aid for the of aged citizens and altered qualifications in accordance with requirements of the Social Secur- ity Act The Legislature also setup system of unem poyment compensation and by acceptance of the so- called sanitary bll made it possible for funds to be granted by the Public Health Service for administra tion by the Territorial Department of Health
 The theory that aged citizens without means to provide for themselves should be taken care of by the Government long ago recognized in Alaska, and its system of pension laws has been regarded out standing both with respect to coverage and granting of sufficiently liberal allowances to provide for a decent standard of living.
 Now, with the Federal Government cooperat ting, many persons heretofore ineligible for assistance will be aided Under the old law the residence requirement was 25 years in the Territory, but residence of only years cut of the last is required Previously pensions not granted to Indians, but the Act conempates assistance for all citizens of the United States. As in the past need must be demonstrated by the applicant before old-age assistance pension

Horoscope 'NThe stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY. AUGUST 12. 1887

THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1887
 Conflicting planetary influences are discerned in the horoscope for today. According to astrology the aspects favor those who have at tained success more than those who are struggling to succeed.
 This should be an suspicious day for seeking support from capital ists or men in high political posi- tions. The sway is most promising to engineers and seems to benefit army and naval officers.
 Under this rule of the stars fi- nancial matters may be the source of anxiety. It is not favorable date for seeking loans or for ad- justing banking affairs.
 JAS the month advances there should be careful plans for the au- tumn and conservative ideas should dominate, although there will be many temptations to speculate.
 While this configuration prevails there may be an inclination to cir culate bad news and to dwell upon perils that appear to threaten in- ternational relations.
 Astrologers remind men and wo- men that they will benefit by mak- ing the most of each days oppor- tunities and avoiding the sort of foresight which is discouraging.
 Increased trade in rubber, cotton and tea will be profitable for Bur ma, Siam and Borneo, but the seers predict that chemists will provide substitutes for many of these eX- ports.
 Women today will be lucky in shopping for the autumn wardrobe, Again attention is called to the fact that the fashions mirror history.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of prosperity that is attended by display in dress and hospitality. Success may be extraordinary for certain women.
 Children born on this day may be endowed with talents which they will employ wisely Subjects of this sign usually make much of their opportunities.
 James w. Wadsworth, Congress man, was born on this day 1877. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Edith M. Thom- as, poet, 1854; George w. Bellows, painter, 1882.
