those i'll with non- n-communicable and communicable diseases, includ- ing tuberculosis, syphilis and gon- orrhea. If some functions are being carried out by other agencies, q plan of coordinating all allied in. terests should be developed.
 Miss DeRonde urged the pubic health nurse to study the vital sta- tiStics for her town and to confer with her health officer concerning their significance. The nurse should be familiar with all activi- ties for the protection and promo- ton of health. By a thoughtful study of the whole community and consultation with the representa- tives of other health agencies, the nurse can develop @ foundation on which to make her plans for the coming months.
 Nurses Know
 With knowledge of community needs well in hand, the nurses will know what she can offer her com. munity, and can then outline her ideas and plans to the person or persons to whom she is responsible This is usually the health officer or the board of directors of her association. In this way, she will obtain their suggestions, approval and cooperation in carrying out the program. The nurses should also meet with the medical advisory committee to obtain advice and CO., operation. After study and consult tation along these lines, the nurse will know her objectives and will have plans laid for reaching them.

ANOTHER NEW DEAL VICTORY

During the closing weeks of Congress and since
 its adjournment political interest has centered Tn the reputed weakening of the Roosevelt New Deal forces generally attributed the determined stand the President took on the court reform plan The result has been wide speculation to what reactions would be felt in various elections about the country
 The first test has come in the New York primary for mayorality nominations Senator Royal Cope land Democrat but an avowed anti-New Dealer, spent much of his campaign attacking the national administration and the court plan, including the ap- pontment of Senator Hugo Black to the Supreme Court bench.
 Two days before the New York primary Demo- cratic National Chairman James A. Farley officially put the New Deals stamp of approval on Jeremiah Mahoney who was opposing Copeland for the Demo- cratic nomination At the election day before yester day, Copeland went down to overwhelming defeat before the Mahoney forces and took famous old Tam many Hall along with him. The New Deal had shown its teeth and its power in New York.
 Similar support might not net the result universally in other parts of the country. Local problems could be entirely different but it is signifi in the New York election It is significant be- cause Dr. Copeland has been serving in the Senate from New York state for Is years He has been Health Commissioner of New York City and a prominent figure in Tammany affairs. Also, New York City is traditionaly Democratic The big vote is in the Democratic primary. With the endorsement of the New Deal Mehoney swept into the nomination for Mayer It indicates clearly that there is still strong popular sentiment for the present occupant of the White House and the policies for the general welfare which his administration is attempting to put in force.
 The first test definitely shows the New Deal still in the drivers seat and if there is weakening of support for the Roosevelt administration it hasn't shown itself in the New York election elsewhere about the country yet

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s, 1887

Benefic aspects appear to dom- mate today, according to astrology. Adverse influences also are discern ed by those who read the stars.
 The planetary government favors thinkers and preachers who will gain hearings on political and ec- onomic as well as religious subjects The clergy will be prominent in many public movements.
 Peace organizations will multi ply under this planetary govern ment which presages sudden war perils and serious international problems for the nation.
 Under this sway agreements be- tween workers and capitalists may be reached, for the stars encourage conferences and discussions.
 There is a warning portent for labor today which seems to fore shadow veering of public sentiment and conflicts among members of unions.
 This is an suspicious day for those who hold power of any sort, favor ing alike labor troubles and heads of corporations. Under this con- figuration the balance of power seems to be wielded by government officials.
 Women may be aggressive in strikes and may divide their strength in opposing groups that hold con- flicting views The stars frown up- on them.
 Nervous diseases will spread rap idly. They will be treated with new methods that will help men and women to withstand the strain of modern life.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of prosperity, advancement and enjoyment. For some, speculation or even gambling may bring ill-gotten gains which will be unlucky in the end.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be far-seeking and well balanced. Subjects of this sign have strong wills and they are persistent in any effort which seems to them worth while.

visions There is defense for those who
 would drive recklessly with furious speed to
 save a few seconds on a journey and insist on
 making up time on rounding Dangerous curves
 There is argument to justify going without
 safety brakes carrying excess loads that cut
 up the costly roads going without lights
 hogging the road with exceedingly wide
 bodies.
 Certainly there is no argument on any of those points But the News-Mner goes a little further. It suggests as a remedy the possibility of motorcycle policemen speed cops" they are known, often unfavorably, down in the States. Making his point. Editor c. R. Settlemier declares
 In centers of heaviest traffic patrol officers
 will have tremendous corrective effect. If
 only few such officers on motorcycles-or
 random officer of the kind-or federal or local
 officers vested with special authority in such
 cases now and then make arrests of traffic
 volators and swift and strict penalties be vis-
 ited upon offenders there will be many an ac-
 cident averted and life safe-guarded
 Not only the large highway system of Fair
 banks but all Alaska needs these reforms It
 is a woefu condition when a region like AL
 aska has adequate laws on the subject
 Maybe they need a highway patrol up around Fairbanks but down here in Southeast Alaska we have about as much need for motorcycle police as a dead Chinaman has for a machine gun. What we do need here, and suspect they need in the Fairbanks district and throughout the Interior and Westward is thousands of additional miles of roads to reach Alaska's outposts and inaccessible mining regions True as Editor Settlemier points out many of us could do with a little better judgment when we get back of a steering wheel. But speed cop can't give one that better approach to that problem we suggest is to give every motoris examination to see if he drive properly and safely before issuing a drivers license. Revoking drivers licenses proven be of the best ways of curbing reck less and careless driving.
 But that speed cop" idea recalls to our mind along those lines before the 1885 Legisla- ture bill had been introduced advocating the ton of Territorial Police Force" After consid- erable debate, Representative Howard Lyng of the Second Division proposed the following amendment which had the effect of eliminating speed cop talk for that session.
 The members of the Territorial Police Force
 shall, while duty. the following des-
 cribed uniform-a salmon pink tunic, and
 trousers of vermillion red Footgear shall be
 matter of individual choice although we
 recommend mukluks in the Second Division,
 moccasns in the Fourth rubber boots in the
 Third and sneakers in the First The head
 gear shall include hat band made from fish
 skin and the badge of authority shall be em-
 beshed with pick salmon and herring.

 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1897 Threatening aspects are discov- cred in the horoscope for today, ac- lcording to astrology. The week be- lgins in rather a depressing way for those who are guided by the stars.
 Labor again cc..,as under sinister planetary influences which seem to indicate physical conflict and ser ious results.
 In the early hours employers will be friendly toward those who seek arbitration, but later the aspects change to hostility.
 While this configuration prevails accidents may happen and clashes may be precipitated where trouble Is not expected The seers counsel patience and law observance.
 In the afternoon good news is forecast, but it's effects are not ap- parent as night falls. Unrest and dlscontent will be fomented in new ways.
 At universities and schools stu- dents will reflect the mass thought of revolt against established GUS toms and usages. Discussion of rad ical ideas will be widespread and there may be frequent conflicts of opinion.
 The autumn will show that Americans have become ever more migratory than they have been in the past. Many will seek mild cli- mates and the trailer will become a greater problem in the South and extreme West.
 The seers advise return to vil- lage life, since they prognosticate for cities many exciting events and mob demonstrations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of certain difficulties affecting incomes. Bus mess plans may be changed. Wo-
