HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER IL

THURSDAY, OEF cMbEb Il
After the early hours adverse
planetary aspects are active today.
There is a good sign for trade, but
labor may cause trouble in certain
parts of the country.
Heart and Home: Women should
pursue well-trodden paths today,
for sinister stars hold sway over
them. There may be disappoint-
ments for ambitious girls. The pro-
grams planned for college or pro-
fessional activities may be unavoid-
ably changed. Sudden events in
world affairs will affect the United
States. Practical tasks should en-
gage attention. Training for hos
pital service or for food conserva-
ton will be of supreme value in
the future.
Business Affairs: Astrologers long
have warned against all speculative
enterprises and they now emphasize
the wisdom of aviding all risks.
Trade should be good, but credit
should be limited, for the future
holds some sort of peril connected
with gold and the banking system.
Manufacturers will speed work
There will be an unusual demand
for warm clothing in the coming
winter which may be marked by
severe cold.
National Issues: Success in train
ing young men and young women
for public service will encourage
drastic legislation regarding mill
tary, naval and aviation enrolment.
Taxes that draft incomes will be
accepted with patriotic patience.
Sacrifice now will be preached
from platform and pulpit as the
needs of war refugees and war vic
Tins are realized. A woman will
gain fame through her wise aid for
children
International Affairs: Iceland will
appear frequently in the headlines
before winter closes in. Propaganda
will be the cause of an unpleasant
incident connected with a hidden
scandal concerning highly-p placed
man. History will be made quickly
but it may preface sudden upris-
ings enmeshing people who arc
desperate through the limitation
of their liberty Food shortages will
cause unrest in Europe.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of good
prospects. Romance will attend the
young Unexpected financial gains
are indicated.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be far-sighted and coura-
geous. They may be extremely tai
ented and magnetic. Leaders belong
to this sign.

him copies of the specifications.
Nelson, one-time executive OF

he is a personality
We admit it, cheerfully We go even further
We admit that Wilkie is at least two personalities,

AS the campaign develops indeed, the split per-
sonality of Willke becomes it's most remarkable
phenomenon. For example:
Willkie is both conservative and liberal.
He says he is the hope of conservatism and
writes paeans to conservatism in the conservative
Saturday Evening Post He also says he is the hope
of liberalism and writes liberal articles for the liberal
New Republic.
Willkie is farmer in the Midwest In New
York, he is what Ickes called "a simple barefoot
Wall Street lawyer"
Willke has home near the Wabash where he's
"just folks" another home along the Hudson where
he's somebody" and he says his heart really belongs
way down upon the Sewanee River, at at least in
Ten Ten Tennessee, where no doubt he's just a
humble hillblly.
Willke says he is champion of power consumers
and boasts of lowering rates in his old Common

how IVA prodded him along) and up Moth, where
the bankers and brokers wont to congregate, he
tells tall tales of how he got bigger profits for good
old c. 81 S. out of those selfsame consumers.
So it goes

wants to win-and insists that the United States

sire of Congress, the United States Department of Justice and the Post Oficl Department are taking every possible precaution to keep individual registration confidential. Posamasters are urg ed to furnish a private room for registration wherever possible. In addition, no ali7n is forced to register in his own immediate neiehborhood or even in his own city. if he desires 10 do it else where. Completed registration blanks are immediat ly forward ed to the Department of Justice in Washington where they will not be available to anyone with out the express permission of the Attorney G neral of the United States.
 Postmasters in charge of regis tration have been instructed by Washington to render every pos sible aid to the registering alien. Postal hours are b-ing so adjust ed that no man or woman need lose time from his work in or der to register. h many cases hours will be from g am. to g pm. weekdays and as late as 6 p. m. on Saturdays.

What To Do With Your Money?

In the last war it was a patriot ic duty to buy Liberty Bonds but if the U. s. defense program develops as it is pointing, with the national debt already 10 tim es its level in 1917 and costs likely to go higher, harsher meth ods might be necessary.
 Where you could once choose between buying a house or a new car, keeping your money in the savings bank for emergen- cies, or lending it to the govsrn ment, the changed circumstances might make forced loans or cap ital levies necessary.
 Italy has already had three compulsory loans and now taxes everyone not only on income but with an annual tax on all their capital.
 Germany, of course, has many dodges, one of them forced ac- ceptance of tax certificates bear ing no interest fo "a part of eV erything the government buys. Hungary has a direct levy.
 Holland at the start of her war effort announced that if a public voluntary loan were not successful it would be made com pulsory in order to defray mo- Utilization expenses.
 New New Zealand has just put through a compulsory loan pay ing no interest.
 If it can happen here, the inn plication is that any kind of pro perty like a home or a bank ac- count may be hit by a capital levy.
 But then we see what the Eng fish are doing with a problem so far much harder than ours. Towns are competing as teams in the amount of bonds bought at s each. (There are other specific bits of news on British methods One London paper has proved it more patriotic to drink 100 pounds worth of gin than to lend the same amount to the govern ment without interest)
 All this is voluntary and no mare to be dreaded than the Liberty Loan drives of g years ago.
 That may soon be happening again.

Limit Is Set On Time For Alien
 

Under the terms of the Alien Registration Act of l940, all aliens in Alaska together with those in every part of the United States, are required to register before December 26 of this year. This is in integral part of our National Defense.
 Generally speaking, an alien is any foreign born person who has not become naturalized or who has not acquired citizenship thru others. It should be noted that the mere possession of first cit izenship papers does not exempt the holder from registration.
 United States citizenship is ac- quired by birth by all persons who were born in the United States or in Alaska on or after June 20, 1867. They are not re- quired to register unless they have subsequently, lost or re- nounced their citizenship. Per sons born in Alaska prior to that date, unless subsequently, natur- alized must register as must all those who have entered Alaska from a foreign country and have not been naturaliz2d.
The Nome nugget., 1940-11-22
Penalties

The Act provides penalties up to $1,000 fine, 6 months in prison or both, for failure to register or for registering falsely, with the additional penalty of pos sible deportation following con- Viction for th- latter. Having registered, all aliens are required to notify the Immigration and Ma turelization Service in Washing ton, DC, of any permanent change of their residence ad- dress. Failure to comply with this portion of thI9 Act is punish able by a fine of $1O0, 30 days in prison, or both. Aliens in Alaska or the continental United States on a temporary permit are re- quired to notify the Immigration and Naturalization Service of their whereabouts every three months.
 Following out the expressed de

connection with the tallying of non-citizens, actual fingerprint- ing and registration is being car ri d on by the Post Office De- partment. Material for the work, including sample forms, have al ready been received by postmast CTS in Alaska who will be ln charge of registration there.
 All postoffices have a supply of the sample forms and aliens are urged to secure copy, study the questions and so be prepared to answer them with a minimum of trouble at the time of regiStra- tion. Actual registration will be carried on at the post offices in Junfau, Ketchikan, Nome, Val deg, Anchorage, Cordova and Fairbanks.
 Under the terms of the Act, all aliens IA years of age or over are required to register in person at the post office and be fingerprint- ,sd at the same time. In the case of alien children under IA, the praent or guardian must register for them. Such children will not be fingerprinted until they have reached their 14th birthday when they are given 30 days in which to present themselves at a post ca in person for complete registration and fngerprinting.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-tREGerman
warplanes carrying out a system
attic attack along the lines by
which they devastated Coventry,
began an assault on a south coast
town tonight after giving South
ampton, famous transatlantic ship
ping port, a heavy overnight aerial
bombardment.
The raiders also famed out over
England at nightfall. During the
day they fought British Spitfires
over the English channel and the
southeast coast. One locality was
reported machine gunned with
tracer bullets.
Eight Planes Downed
The British said eight German
aircraft were destroyed in the
days fighting while five British
planes were missing. All British
pilots are safe, however, the air
ministry reported.
Flares first were dropped on the
south coast town. Then incendi-
aries followed and tn raiders
dumped high explosives on the
town.
Many planes were reported to
have passed over the coast.
London had two air raid alarms
during the early evening after 60
ing through three daylight alerts.
Only a few bombs were dropped
in the southern outskirts of the
capital, however.
A midland town, a southwest
town and the important port of
Liverpool also reported German
aircraft.
