ONE DAY TO GO

Just one day to go and the Fourteenth Session of the Territorial Legislature will be ended.
 Today both Houses had their business well near completion and prediction is that everything will be over in good time tomorrow without the custo- mary setting back of the clock
 Appropriation bills either passed or still in committee total s5 BOP 393 65 probably s75OOOO more than the Territory's anticipated revenue for the biennium Before the end of the session tomorrow this will be reduced if the last day is as usual last days a possibly $35OOo0, by striking off measures that will fail to pass. However the remaining s4oO 900 deficiency is considered serious Before the biennium is ended, it has been the experience of those who handle the Tartorys finances, income will have increased to more than make up the de- fciency.
 House appropriation bills total $44O3 055.83 The Appropriation Bill for the 1939-4 expenses of the Territory, which accounts for $3648020 of this amount had passed the House and was in com mittee of the whole in the Senate this afternoon Various conferences between both houses will be nec- essary before this reaches final acceptance sometime tomorrow before the curtain rings down and the House and Senate adjourn sine die
 Senate approprlations total $899 337 82 the largest of these the Territorial Road Bill which appropriated $8000s0 and became Chapter l9 Session Laws oi Alaska, 1899.
 Those who have watched this and other sessions of the Territorial Legislature say that the Fourteenth Session has been good one. Though pickering between Houses has existed, that condition is SC usual to be part of the tradition. And an amicable conclusion of the session is predicted.
 Much of the credit for the business performed goes to the presiding officers President N. R Walker an experienced lawmaker has served the Senate well Howard Lyng has made an excellent speaker of the House. They have hs1dled with ability their owr sessions and the open hearings which have attract ed crowded galleries of interested spectators

THURSDAY, MARCH 9. 1939
 Through this day adverse plane tary aspects may be unusually strong Risks of all sorts should be avoided. Accidents may be prevalent
 While this configuration continues executives and business leaders may be uneasy Under this sway fatalistic as pect may be widespread as the idea that what must be will be- is ac- cepted. Portents of war will be many, but the seers foresee months of peace for the United States.
 Women appear to be subject to ad- verse planetary government today, which is unfavorable to mental poise and conducive to unrest and appre- hension. They should discipline themselves and control their nerves.
 This is an unlucky day for TO- mances. Men may be criticalS and exacting, Husbands are likely to be difficult to handle. %
 Quarrels are easily started under  this direction of the stars which fosters super-sensitiveness and self appreciation Criticism will be more general than usual and will be di- rected toward objects great and small
 Sedition in India will add to the anxieties of the British Empire, which will experience a summer of supreme difficulties.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pleasant surprises in which financial mat ters will be satisfactory. For many this is to be twelve months of var jed romances.
 Children. born on this day may be analytical and keen, but indifferent regarding their own faults. Actors belong to this sign of Pisces and as do explorers.

Aer0nauticaI Exports
(New York Times)


 There is considerable interest in the announce ment of the Civil Aeronautics Authority that beacons are to be placed the air routes to South America in the region of the West Indies. This will make possible night flying by our international airline and shorten still further the time distance between the United States and the countries to the south. may also stimulate the export of American planes. totaitaran countries is keen in the South and Central American areas Swifter communications, plus a liberalized basis of doing business, should aid manufacturers in the United States to dispose of their products in increasing volume.
 There has been some confusion of opinion recent y regarding aeronautical exports. But it seems clear that military aircraft accessories which the Army Navy desires to keep the confidential list have little likelihood of finding their way foreign encouragement of the sale abroad of such material as properly be released is desirable. Two ad vantages be gained through such sales In the first place, good exporc business will enable manu- lecturers of aircraft engines and accessories to maintain skilled forces and thus be in a position to expand production should emergency arise at home. Fully important, these manufacturers will enabled to continue the practice of blowing back into engineering development most of the proceeds of hr export sales, and thus maintain the important share they have had in putting the United States the forefront in the matter of technical excellence in the air. To a large extent the development of advanced types of aircraft by the private aeronauca industry has been financed by sales overseas

Idea From America
(Cleyeland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Anthony Eden's suggestion that Britain copy the Civilian Conservation Corps idea from the United States turns the spotlight the unemployment problem which has plagued Britain since the war While our overseas cousins supposed to be jumps ahead of in social and welfare projects they have wrestled with unemployment in a rather inefficient and dilatory manner.
 Two million idle in population of 45,0OO'O0O gives the government for worry. This figure was recently increased by 300,000 despite the re- newed activity in industries contributing to the re- armament program Britain's world trade is failing off, markets being lost and the decline is re- flected in the number of people on the dole Some industries like mining, have been so hard hit that whole areas of the British Isles have been without activity for years.
 This condition extended long period, has been a particular hardship young men. Little has been done for them Some private charities with measure of government help, have opened work and recreation centers designed to keep youth out of the pubs and other loafing places. But there has been concerted nation wide program such as the CCC offers in the United States. What Eden complains about is the apparent complacency with which the British unemployed accept this con- dition. He calls for divine discontent," move ment to throw off the ethargy which seems to have settled on the younger generation ceasing to hope flor employment.
 Eden's suggestion is good one Britain should adopt something like the eco plan if she is not to endanger her future at home and abroad by neglect ing this generation.

then he becomes transigured and
the audience goes right along with
him. His habit is to drop every
thing in the course of dance and
tWiddle his legs as if he were trying

doesn't start fire, but he does

That leaves 100 minutes unac-
counted for in this report These
100 minutes are occupied briefly by
a lovely chorus doing snowy and
pert routines under the auspices Of
Bob Alton and occupied endlessly by
a plot by George Marion, jr. The
plot revolves little less than giddily
around the bizarre daughter of an
industrial magnate who owns $3.50
more than Henry Ford. He is a
graduate of PottaWatomie College in
New Mexico and. as a gesture to
him and also because a languid
passion of hers occupies a nearby
ranch, she goes off to school there.
To protect her from herself her
father hires four all-American foot
ball players as bodyguards. One
falls in love with the heiress and
the other three fall in love with
various co-eds and they all get
together to win the big game for
the school.
What I liked best about the show
is its youthfulness. The five princi-
pals are Marcy Westcott. Hal lie Roy,
Richard Kollmar, Eddie Bracken
and Mary Jane Walsh and, unless
you are a fairly close student of our
local follies, the chances are you
