MONDAY, MAY 13

Adverse planetary aspects are
discerned on this thirteenth day Of
the month. 1t is not a good date
for starting any new project in .
mercantile or manufacturing line
of business. Labor is under a. sway
disturbing and retaring in az ef-
fects.
Heart and Home: Women today
are under much more favorable in
fluenceS than men. They may
strongly incline to take part i'll
some public work and will succeed
in Government service This is a
happy wedding day Notwithstanding
the date Gardening and informal
hospitalities should be fortunate.
Business Affairs: Purveyors Of
food are to profit in coming months
when hotels and restaurants will
be patronized by great numbers Of
persons. American designers and
producers of clothing for women
are to gain wider world fame
through originality and beauty of
costumes. The fashion center is to
move fro mEurope to the United
States, it is foretold, as American
motion pictures continue to en-
thrall millions.
National Issues: Youth is to TO-
Gus attention in this country as
boys and girls undergo change in
their modern points of view. The
rising generation is to command
its rights in the field of adjusted
employment as it gains power
through political organizations. Sc
rious aims and concentration upon
vocational training will be general.
International Affairs: Diplomatic
juggling of life and death matters
will become of grave concern in
the United States where it will be-
come evident that the cost of war
is not confined to belligerents. Egypt
is to contribute to the complexities
of the foreign situation Traffic in
drugs will cause severe criticism.
Persons whose birthdate it is
may have unexpected difficulties
in the coming year. They should
be careful in their disposal of legal
papers.
Children born on this day may
be gifted and highly intelligent
They may be inclined to be self
Willed and independent.

A RECORD FOR ALASKA

# the Alaska Territorial Employment Service
led similar agencies in all the States in finding jobs
for veterans that would be very fine record. Or
if it led in placing non-yeterans it would have
achieved something for u all to be proud about.
But for the alaska Territorial Employment Serv-
ice to be fnst in the N9toJ IN the placement Of
both veterans and noa-veterans, a recent report
shows it TO be is nothing short of remarkable
The Alaska Service has placed POSI- veterans out
of every 100 registered for Jobs. This is far out
ahead Of the next best Service that Of Illinois with
of 313 per 100 Our Territorial agency has found
Jobs for 1458 nonveterans out of every 100 regis
tered Arizona the next best State could place
only 1149 The national average is 247
AS with all such exceptional records there is a
reason for the success of the Alaska Territorial En-
ployment Service Director Joseph T. Flakne and
his small but efficient staff devoted to their
task and work hard to find jobs for Alaskans
Through a well-planned publicity campaign they
bring their Service the attention of the employers
of the Territory and have achieved gratifying CO.
operation throughout Alaska
The record in placing veterans is all The more
remarkable in view of the fact that all the Employ
ment Services in the States have special veterans
placement officers attached to their staffs, while
the regular personnel. of the Alaska Service carries
on this work in addition to its other duties.
Director Flakne and his assistants are to be
congratulated on their fine record. They are en-
gagged in important work and are performing it
superatively well

Benefic aspects rule today which

The evening sway encourages work
and stimulates activity in house

Business Affairs: Commerce is
under a favorable rule of the stars
this week. Expansion in exports
from the United States will be
great. New discoveries of oil are
forecast. The earth will add great
ly to American riches in the COM
ing summer when increase in both
mineral and vegetable products is
prognosticated.
National Issues: The census is
to arouse misunderstanding regard
ing it's scope. Information relating
to the population of the country
is to be of supreme value next
year when the stars point to ext

tabulated facts. The trend toward
individual identification is to gain
momentum in 1941.

CHAPTER XXI

The cleaning women had left only one dim light burning in the otiGe and the rows of desks and filing cabinets stretched out endlessly In the shadowy darkness. Sue Mary stopped to feel the unfamiliar still- ness.
 She was terribly tired and she hoped she could concentrate enough on the work to get it out quickly. She went down the hall into a side office where she could get the full sweep of the breeze and turned on the dim desk lamp. Her notes seemed inches thick and she turned the pages, thinking of the time it would take to get them in order.
 She was deep in concentration when she heard the voices from 1 old Ross Clark's private office, down the hall. She listened, and then quietly went over to the small file room that opened be- tween the rooms. The voices could be heard distinctly in the stiffness. =,

? STORIES
 IN STAMPS
British Centenary Issue Pictures Two Sovereiqns

GREAT BRITAIN departs from
 philatelic custom to picture two rulers, Victoria and George VI, on the stamp above, commem- orating 100 years of penny postage stamps. British issues usually picture only the reigning mon- arch, although the present Queen Elizabeth was shown on the coro- nation issue of 1887.
 Although the honor of intro- ducing the adhesive postage stamp and penny postage belongs to Victoria, the history of postal ser- vice begins with the system or- ganized by Cyrus the Great of Persia in 500.B. c. For more than thousand years, however, the service was restricted to governA ment communications.
 By the Middle Ages, postal ser- vice had spread throughout Eu- rope. The first public post in England was put into operation between London and Edinburgh early in the 17th century.
 For 200 years the system un. derwent few changes. Rates varied according to distance, weight of letter. Charges were excessive, service was irregular. Recipients often refused to pay.
 Rowland Hills postal reforms. naugurated in 1887, produced the postal system that is now world wide.
