THE RED CROSS BIRTHDAY

Last week marked the 18th anniversary of the founding of the Red Cross. In 1864 representatives of 25 governments met in Geneva to sign treaties providing for the neutrality of all sanitary supplies ambulances surgeons nurses, medical attendants, sick and wounded Appropriately, the flag adopted was red cross a white ground, reversal of the Swiss national colors.
 Today 61 nations have chapters 3,176 of them in this country with more than 5000 members From Siam to Russia, from Australia to the Argentine, the organization stands ready to in and in peace-time disaster.
 It is of the paradoxes of history that it was organized from motives of mercy to mitigate the horrors which every instrument of mans devisng had been employed to create By chance Swiss banker and philanthropist Henri Dunant, passed through the of the Battle of Solferino when the dead and the wounded (40,O00) still lay upon the field His description stirred the humanitarians of his day to action which resulted in convention entered into by the representatives of 12 govern ments.
 In the 75 years since, the movement begun in Geneva has embraced the whole earth in it's humane service. It begun battlefield but it has found even wider scope for it's concern in meeting the disasters which come upon communities and which individuals cannot meet alone.
 Particularly has America, with her 5,5OOOOO adult and 9.000000 junior members undertaken sweeping preparation for what cannot be prevented hurricane and earthquake flood and fire and other forces with which has to contend.
 In 75 years the Red Cross has rushed to the scene of than 2000 disasters and has disbursed $14o 100000 for food, medicines and relief
 Today, the Red Cross is taken for granted. It is accepted vital auxiliary to our government, just as various public health services, the Army, Navy and Marine corps It is fitting, therefore that the nation remember with gratitude the good works of this organization.

tion, for unforeseen events may af- feet future commitments.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Revelations of graft and extravaganza will cause bitter criticism of the AdminiStra- ton, but opposition will serve to unite party factions for next years campaign. Third term promoters will be busy, but health hazards may cause changes in plans of the Demo- cratic leaders.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Great Britain will have crisis in distant country over which it has control. The death of statesman may cause changes in policies that have been disappointing. There is a sign that certainly appears as a portent of naval and military en- agreements. Japan is warned that the war lords will lead her to final defeat.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of progress and prosperity. Gain for those of artistic taste may be marked.
 Children born on this day probably will be of high character and alert mind. Military men and political leaders belong to this sign.

 on Ranger X

Tracks found on Baranof Island by Forest Service bear census men while not quite as large as those found last year in the Chichagot Island census, were big enough and fresh enough ito make the hair raise on the back of your neck, c. M. Archbold, one of the count CTS, said today.

 Archbold said some of the tracks they measured were seven inches across the forepaws and 1l12 in ches along the rear paws. The big gest Chichagof measurements last year were 812 and IA inches, ret spectively.

HOW ABOUT TT, MIR. BORAH?

Among the red faces in the world today none should have more ruddy glow than that of Senator Borah Less than a month ago, when President Roosevelt called Senatorial leaders to explain the need of new neutrality law, the Idaho lion had words with the chief executive He said that he had private information from abroad that there would be no war in Europe, warnings of the State Depart ment to the contrary.
 Then the Senator and his group of self-wled politicians on the Senate Foreign Relations Com mttee announced refusal to do anything about trality at this session They would take full respon- sibity for gambling that there would be no war before Congress meets again, they said. Now the blame is theirs.
 Our hope in staying out of the war ip Europe lies in strong but flexible neutrality act the kind President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull asked of

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

Mixed planetary influences are active today, which should be fairly fortunate after the morning hours. It is wise to defer initiative, for the judgment may not be trustworthy under this rule of the stars. Inde- cision and lack of confidence in world pacts may delay important government plans.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this sway warm friendship between both sexes may develop. This is a fortu- nate date to invite strangers to the home, for thus angels may be entertained unawares. Women will find this a good time to start club programs or plans for public work. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Caution is enjoined against risks. Workers may be easily influenced by unfriendly competitors. Speculation will tempt many sudden fortunes may be made before the new year, but the slow but sure method of acquiring wealth is recommended. Contracts should |pot be signed under this cpnfigura-

NORTHLAND LINE ASKS TO LEASE
 CITY DOCK HERE
Company Wants 10 Man. age Entire Properly
 lJnbusinessIike

Alleging that management Of the City Dock has been unbusinesslike and that the City has failed to live LID to either the letter or spirit of an existing contract, the North land Transportation Company last night offered to lease the entire property and to hire it's own wharf inger.
 William Semar, General Manager of the company, said in letter read at last nights City Council meet ing that he doubted the city's abil- ity to put into effect a businesslike management and that the present system of dual management" was proving costly to his line.
 Semar offered to lease the dock for $200 per month. The company would do its own hiring and firing, pay for heat, light and water and fix wharfage and landing rates. The City. under the offer, would be re- ouired to maintain the dock in good condition, keep up the fire insur- ance, construct marquee over the sidewalk the length of the entry within 30 days and paint the entire dock at least once every two years.
 The Northland manager asked for three year lease, with a right of renewal year by year for the next 10 years.
 Such a proposition would have to be voted upon by the people. Mayor Harry Lucas referred Semar's let ter to the Wharf Committee of the Council.

CITY TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THREE
 NEW PROJECTS
City Limits Paving, Doug- las Bridge Approach and
 Sidewalks Suggested

City Councilmen will hold spec ial meeting next Wednesday even- ing to decide which of three pro- posed improvement projects the City will buy with balance Of $11,112.O7 remaining a PWA con- struction account or whether the City will do anyt tn ing with the money.
 The improvements under consid- eration are paving of E Street from 18th Street to the City limits, pav- ing of the approach to the Douglas bridge and construction of side walk to the Alaska Juneau mine offices along Loower Franklin street.
 Of the amount left in the con- struction account, between six and seven thousand are the CityS share and this must be spent on construc- tion work in order to obtain the re- maining $5,OOO in grant money. The sum could instead be used as a sink ing fund to pay interest on existing PWA bonds.
 Account Transferred
 Last night the Council also voted to transfer $5, ,OO0 set aside in an un- used PWA right-of-way account to the construction account.
 The Council voted formal accept ance of the paving job performed by the L. J. Dowell Company.
 A bill for S1,15738 presented by the Baranof Hotel for putting in a sewer pipe connection at the time of the buildings construction was turned down by the Council, which explained the City is not under ob- ligation to lead an alternative sewer to the property line when the ex- isting sewer is at too high a level for the builders use. The Baranot basement is below the level of the sewer line passing the hotel, so the builder connected the hotel with the sewer half a block away and sent the bill to the City.
 Creek Bank Repaired
 Mayor Harry I. Lucas announced crew had been set at work re- pairing the banks of Gold Creek, damaged in the recent high water Some 150 bags of sand have been placed in the breaks.
 A petition from West Eighth St residents asked extension of a rock fill along the street. The Chamber of Commerce by letter asked the City to put new mechanized street cleaning apparatus into service Mrs. Fred Hall requested sidewalk for West Ninth Street. All these matters were referred to the Street Committee.

 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day after the early morning wher Neptune seems to encourage deceit Guard against sharp practices anc underhand dealing this morning Women should be cautious in hand ling their financial affairs, for many will be cheated by interruptions agents and unstable corporations This is a date promising to women who seek employment, but only those of highest education and train- ing may expect success.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a happy wedding day, promising pros perity and progress. The stars en- courage correspondence with friends and love letters should be highly ef- fective. Marriages are to be numer- ous this autumn when economic conSidera tionS will be ignored by young and old One of the signs of the times will be a fear of loneliness
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Amuse ment enterprises will flourish. Fall sports will be well attended and theaters will prosper. for there will be desire to escape from the con- temptation of threatening events in Europe and the Orient. There is a sign read as encouraging to those who have capital to invest. Finan- ciers are to be less restricted than they have been, it is foretold.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Railways come under configuration which appears to presage increase in re- turns. Transcontinental freight car riers will be in great demand. The Pacific Coast will focus national in- terest as the Philippines cause grave anxiety. Radio is to be employed for subversive activities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: An assassination that will affect the United States as well as the Euro pean country in which it takes place is prognosticated. Astrologers warn that isolation for the United States is impossible as world events become more and more threatening.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck to which stranger contributes. Ro- nance will flourish for young and old.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be amiable and magnetic but strong-willed and inclined to be self -centered. Many may have mu- sical or artistic talent. Usually these subjects of Virgo are very fortunate all through life.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today, which may be depressing especially to the head of the family Domestic discussions should be avoided. Cross purposes among grown children may be ating Disinclination to attend church is probable.
 HEART AND HOME: Lack of discipline may be apparent among half grown boys and girls. There is sign indicating anxiety for par ents, as tendency to lead their own lives becomes more definite among large numbers of adolescents. Indirect rather than direct methods of guidance are recommended.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Employers are warned that labor troubles may assume baffling phases that may ob- struct plans for the autumn and winter. Decline of interest in hard work will be evident as the psycholo- gy of long years of unemployment is manifested in the United States.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Relief prob lems will assume threatening aspects through the coming winter, but ex- traordinary events are to cause closer sympathies among Americans of widely separated interests. Wo- men in public life must prepare tl with men in business and the pro feSsionS.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: The seers predict that any pacts between Russia and other powers will be unfortunate in the end. Se- cret measures to win supporters for the Soviet government will be relied on rather than frank alignment with demcracies, it is indicated. Pro- paganda will continue to be broad cast in the United States as sub versive groups work against the Con- Stitution.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune. Business and professional in- terests should be profitable. Ro- nance and speculation should be lucky.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be determined and coura- geous in character. Caution and au- dacity may be apparent in their methods which generally succeed.
