HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline

FRIDAY, JUNE 81

!
Good and evil portents are dis
cerned for this day. In the morn
ing hours there may be tendency
to enter into disputes. There is q
threatening aspect for human re-
lations affecting nations and fami-
lies alike Later, benefic aspects
promise good luck.
Heart and Home: Insight is
made keener under this sway which
quickens understanding anon 6
members of family The young
should feel confidence in the, flu
ture and courage to meet what
ever comes to them. Both boys and
girls should benefit at this time
through perception of their .re-
sponsibility to the nation. Patrio-
tism awakens under this rule of
the stars.
Business Affairs: Architects and
landscape artists will profit this
year in which the building of
American homes will take on ex-
ceptional interest The stars pres
age large trade in whatever com
tributes to the beauty and comfort
of dwelling places. Novel gadgets
to reduce housekeeping labor will
multiply as women turn to public
service made necessary by extra
ordinary events.
National Issues: Realization of
the interdependence of the nations
of the globe will be general at this
time as wars effects are felt by
commerce and trade. Secret con-
ferences in Washington will discuss
the future policies of the United
States. Need of a Pacific fleet is
to be illustrated by untoward in
cidents. Neutrality. is to undergo a
strain that brings it to breaking
point.
International Affairs: AS the
Sun enters Cancer adverse aspects
for the British Government are
discerned. While there are good
aspects of Neptune there are evil
omens for certain statesmen who
will be unjustly criticized. The
death of distinguished statesman
is forecast. Heated scenes in the
British Parliament will continue to
mark grave deliberations. Tremen-
dous changes in India are prog
noSticated.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of many
pleasant experiences. Hasty de-
cisions and impulsive acts should
be avoided with unusual caution.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be shrewd, exacting and
critical They should be taught to
be tactful and unselfish.

YOUTH MUST SERVE

We know Of little to be said against President
Roosevelts proposal for compulsory national service
for all American youths. A year ago might have
had quite a bit to say against it. But times have
changed as you may have gathered from reading
your daily newspapers
The cost of such training would be considerable,
no doubt. But the argument that makes war
ships and airplanes bargains in spite of their cost
applies in this case Experience might well prove
it is more expensive to save the money than to
spend it.
brief period of intensive military training
the period being chosen to interfere least
with the young mans preparations for civil life
would do unreasonable good to the individual, while
building up for the country's defense great body
of strong fibered youth prepared at moments
notice to don the uniform of the republic and step
out to protect her institutions.
Military training in democracy teaches disc-
plne and responsibility 1t makes better citizens,
physically and morally of those who take it. 1t
teaches the needful lesson that a concept of gov
eminent worth praisng at commencement time is
worth fighting for if the necessity arises
Some try to set up the distinction that in war
time military training is desirable, but in peace time
is to be avoided Yet only in peace does nation
have time to prepare for the possibility of war. If
war comes we shall have to fight, whether wish
it or not
To put it otherwise, the country sends its young
men into battle when comes. The question is
whether they go trained and prepared mere
raw material for enemy guns to work on.

Alaska undoubtedly will experience accelerated

insure the Territory the greatest benefits from this
growth it important that the merchants of Alaska
have an effective voice in helping to form sane

One of the first matters for the Alaska Retail
Merchants Association to investigate and clear up
is the reported Army and Navy competition with
private business in fields far removed from national
defense Such activity, having nothing to do with
the purposes for which the nation supports Army
and Navy should be uncovered and discouraged at

communities

men recognize that If they to stay in business
they must be actively interested in National Terri
