 Italians Press Hard
 "The Italian attack, made on . wide front, has been pressed with great vigor ard determination. Itali- an infantry, supported by tanks, is preceded by low flying planes, machine gunning and bombing. In the first attack a British platoon was outfianked and driven back but counter-attack restored its posi- tion,"
 Military quarters said also that further attacks later also were re- pulsed except at one place where the Italians made deep penetration and capturd two guns. That pene- tration was partially restored"

YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT DATE
 ON APRIL 30

The primary election is only ten days away On April 30 the people of Alaska will nominate within each party Delegate to Congress an Attorney Gen eral Territorial Highway Engineer and Senator and four Representatives in each Judicial Division.
 To date what little campaigning there has been has been quiet The day of the stump speech is over and each candidate feels he depend upon his reputation to carry him through the primaries.
 The First Division voter if he is Democrat, must select four Representatives out of a field of IS. If Republican, he has only dozen from which to choose.
 Two years ago. in the entire Territory, only one Republican was elected at the general election He is Senator Leroy Sullivan Of Nome, holdoyer. Headed by the incomparable Tony Dimond the Democratic ticket should sweep Alaska again in 1o40 without too much difficulty
 But the question between the parties is one which can be left until September for settlement The important task facing every voter ten days hence will be the selection of the very best candi dates to make up his partys ticket.
 We all know that among those who file for office there is always a contingent Of crackpots, those who like the salmon, run every two years These candidates would not be dangerous if they were well known to all voters No one who knows them would vote for them The danger lies in the possibility that enough people who do not know them might give them sufficient votes to hurdle the primary barrier Then it's too late. Their own party can hardly disown them, and the opposition finds them vulnerable target for attacks weaken ing the entire ticket.
 The primary election system is very bad sys- tenn as has been demonstrated frequently in Alaska. But as long have it, we must make every effort to get good into office through the machinery it sets up.
 In political situation such exists in Alaska today, where one party completely overshadows the other and is certain to sweep it's nominees into of flee, the primary becomes considerably more impor- tant than the general election The Democratic

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, APRIL 20

SATURDAY, APRIL 20
 Benefic aspects rule the morn- ing hours which should be fortu- nate for the consummation of inn portant plans. The stars encour- age activity, freedom, transition In the afernooon there may be depressing influences which should be forgotten in healthful recrea- tion.
 Heart and Home: The stars seem to frown upon women today. Judg- ment may be untrustworthy es- pecially among girls who are like ly to be restless and dissatisfied under this configuration. There IS a sign indicating deceit and even treachery among ambitious women. In politics disappointment is in- dicated.
 Business Affairs: The conjunc- tion of Jupiter and Venus in Cancer has been read as most for tunate. The inexhaustible energy and courage of citizens of the United States will be tested this year in which the nation gains foremost place among world pow CTS. There is parallel in the Horoscope of President Roosevelt and that of the map of the na- tion which may be seen as fore casting third term.
 National Issues: Reforms are foreshadowed in social and public relations. Return to the strict codes that ruled American pioneers IS prognosticated as unemployment and other modern conditions cause degenerating effects The need of ethics in the methods governing state finances will be widely rec ognized as debts increase.
 International Affairs: Bulgaria is to furnish front page news some time this year. In the summer an international pact is to accomplish short relief from anxiety. Dan- ger of misfortune for the King or Queen of England is foreseen. Aus tralia should have a favorable sum- mer for agriculture. Strong sup port of the British Empire in war is presaged.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady progress. The health of both men and women should be watched
 Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely bright and quick witted Girls will be happy in marriage. Success in middle life awaits boys.

Air Records
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 The air transport industry is making new records Just little while ago is celebrated full year Of operation without fatal accident Come now the figures for March recording the heaviest air travel in the history of the industry.
 In this light the strength recently developed in the air transport stocks is readily understood Here is an industry which has definitely arrived; one that is giving greatly improved service at moderate cost and with ever-increasing emphasis on the factor of safety
 It is interesting to note that west of the Misss- sippi the railroads have taken much fuller cognl- zance of the rapid advance in passenger air trans portation and by every at their disposal are endeavoring to meet the competition Speed has been increased service greatly improved and above everything else, perhaps serious effort made to please the public.
 It seems to us the railroads in this are not sufficiently alert to the situation created by air com petition In too many they are content to believe their job is completed when they put them off and leave them off,
 It was an attitude of public be damned" that involved the rail industry in serious difficulty early in the century. If the lesson of that period has been well learned, rail arrangements will get on their toes and stay them in an effort to protect their lucrative long, distance passenger traffic
