 g. Don't listen to or accept one side exclusively Remember that there are always two sides to every question:
 G. Don't accept the official explanations of the propaganda agencies of belligerents. Psychologists know well that diplomats may ratonalize their actions to make them completely right and proper. The true reasons behind such actions are not always made public.

TANKS FROM THE SKY

In dropping tank-laden planes Rumania the Russians may also have dropped a hint of one of Germany's plans for her expected attack or England.
 Carrying heavy machinery by plane has proved entirely feasible. American planes have been used extensively in South and Central America to trans port tractors-whch after all rudimentary tanks A tractor is not as heavy a tank equipped for battle but the Russian baby tanks believed to tank Of the United States Army. They weigh from five to seven tons, about as much the fast Ger man cruisers that charged in destructively be- hind the Polish and French battle lines. The Ital- ans manufacture even smaller tanks-of two and three tons.
 The German Army has learned good deal from Russian military experiments It has invariably l- proved on the Russian technique, in the case ot its use of parachute troops For several years the Red Army has been experimenting with tanrcarrying planes. It is safe to assume that the Germans have not neglected this development. Indeed it has beer already built 200 large transport planes, each with 200-foot wingspread and each capable of carrying 30-ton tank fitted to anchorages within the fuseage Something may be allowed here for exaggeraton but if these Nazi flying forresses exist they woulc fit neatly into Hitler's dark reference to secret weapons" designed to conquer island strongholds Such monsters from the sky let loose the lovely English countryside would be the final horror of mechanical war

The Anchorage Base
Seattle PoSt-Intelligencer)


 More than twelve million dollars of the new appropriations available to the Army will go into the air base at Anchorage, Alaska it is an- nounced from Washington.
 The importance of the Anchorage base is now realized by everyone who has given the slightest at tenton to defense problems on the Pacific Coast.
 Anchorage lies athwart what would be the main line of attack upon the United States in the North Pacific
 It is here that sand must be made, if such attack is to be prevented from reaching the Unit ed States.
 It is worth while remembering, however, that it only few months ago that the members ot the Military Affairs Committee of the House o Representatives threw out of the pending Army ap- propriations bill all provisions for this important base.
 Displaying a amentable lack of knowledge of the geography of Alaska members of the House con- mittee expressed the opinion that provisions for much smaller establishment in the interior of Alaska near Fairbanks, would serve the same purpose
 As The Post-Intelligencer pointed out repeatedly at the time the Fairbanks establishment is planned for entirely different purpose work in the operation of military aircraft under the frigiC conditions that prevail in Alaskas interior.
 The major immediate danger of attack from the westward however, is the short great circle route from Asia, which skirts the Aleutans and tht Alaskan coast That danger will be met, to a large degree by the establishment of the Anchorage a base.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

TUESDAY, JULY 30

Benefic aspects dominate today It is a fortunate date for men who seek public acclaim and should benefit political candidates. Wom- en are we'll directed under this configuration. The stars presaee success in constructive work.
 Heart and Home: Women are under most fortunate rule of the stars today It is suspicious for, TO- nance. Girls may expect definite pledges from their summer com rades. It is a favorable date for housekeepers to plan alterations in their winter homes or even chang es in places of residence. While women will be deeply interested in politics the stars warn them that they must not expect public of- flee, for the remainder of the year holds work for them in phil anthropic projects.
 Business Affairs: Agitation re- garding public health will focus interest upon hospitals. The stars seem to presage much illness in the coming winter and a great demand for nurses Money will be well spent in safeguarding employees in shops and factories, for intensive work will add to the, usual insurance problems. Prosperous times are to mark the next few months.
 National Issues: New immigra- tion problems are to cause great concern in Washington. Petitions for admittance to the United States will be ffumberless as war NcAnls reach the point of confronting the future Congress will discuss re- responsibilities that multiply for those abundantly blessed. An autumn of varied appeals for help and of consequent interest in philanthropic and altruistic projects is forecast The need of putting the American house in order will be recognized as slum clearance plans are made operative.
 International Affairs: The Pa cific Ocean will be the scene of surprising events before many weeks have passed, if the stars are right ly read. Subversive agencies will disturb conditions in the Philip pines and Hawaii. Japan will com mand attention by imperative de- mands that arouse anxiety regard ing secret alliances with European rulers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perils of many sorts. The young should be careful in love affairs. Fortunes should be fairly satisfactory. Children born on this day will be ambitious, Shrewd, intuitive, vo- latile and good-natured. Literary talent is probable.

WRANGELL RAINBOW
AT LONG LAST WINS
ITS JUST REWARD

That flashing, fighting, colorful
member of the fihny tribe hereto
fore referred to as just a rainbow
trout, caught in many of the streams
and lakes of this vicinity has at
long last come into his just reward.
With the beginning of the new de-
cade of 1910 he becomes nationally
known as the Wrangell Rainbow.
Much has been said of the Russian
River rainbow, the Newhalen rain
bow, the Hanna and a host of 9TH
ers, but while they afford some of
the greatest sport fishing in Alaska
little recognition has been taken of
the Wrangell Rainbow.
In its fish display at the Fur Rem
devious at Anchorage next month,
the Alaska Game Commission will
give the official name of Wrangell
Rainbow to those great rainbows
caught in the Wlangell and other
districts of Southeast Alaska.
The tops in spo'c fishing: Wran-
CELL Rainbow caught on an Alaska
Mary Ann.
A color picture of the trout may
be seen on display at the Sentinel
office.
