WHILE WE CAN AFFORD TT

The time to spend money is when you have the money to spend.
 The head of every family knows the wisdom of this course of domestic economics. Sometimes, we have to spend money don't have, we buy on the instalment plan borrow from bank, gam bling being able to pay the money back or keep up the instalments the basis of wages future income believe we have coming. But always the safest course follow is the tried "pay-as-you- go' method.
 With no reflections on the national budget, the conservative way is also usually accorded to be the safest method of financing in business, municipal affairs and in other branches of government
 Of course because of the emergencies which arise in the business world and in the world of government expenditures, it is often necessary to gamble the future in these enterprises than in the realm of homes But when people of a city have money to spend and there civic inn provements which needed, it seems only com sense that the job should be done and paid for while there is still coin in circulation to meet the expenses.
 Southeast Alaska has just experienced it's most successful fishing season. Juneau like the other cities in this section of the territory, is experience ing a minor business boom through the money fishermen, cannerymen and others connected with the fisheries industry are spending with merchants.
 Certainly, there are plenty of municipal im- provements in Juneau waiting to be done. Some of downtown streets could stand repairs, for one thing Then, there is the matter of building new City Hall which Juneau residents must acknowledge is badly needed And with the new city building it is well known the Carnegie interests would es- tablsh up-to-date public library here, if space were available in modern structure.
 We're not going on to list more potential civic improvements They're everywhere to be seen Not that Juneau isn't in splendid shape for city its size; but no city eyer reaches the point where it no longer better its appearance and its utility for its citizens
 Right now, or have you noticed, the city is busy with improvements along lower Franklin Street. The destruction of old buildings and building of side walk to the Alaska Juneau office real improve ment for the city, both in appearance of the property and in adding to the safety and comfort of Alaska Juneau employees who this route to and from work But there is still to be done.
 Certainly, we're not suggesting that these im- provements be made by the city under the city budget as set up which is just enough to cover anticipated expenditures during the coming year.

COPPER "(URREN(Y" OF ALA5KA NATIVES
 E MUSEUM EXHIBIT

Proof that Alaska Indians, before the advent of the white men, oper- ated their finances strictly on a copper standard is shown in a new exhibit which made it's appearance at the Territorial Museum this week.
 Called Tinneh, or Chiefs Cop per, it is huge copper shield with hand-hammered decorations, once used for money among the Thlinget and other Southeast Alaska tribes.
 Loaned to the museum from the private collection of Edward L. Keithahn, curator, the piece is said to increase in value each time it changes hands. Some of these cop per pieces. Keithahn declares, were once traded for thpusands of blankets. A I

famous Edward H. Hartman, first built the Union Pacific Railroad then engaged in race with Jin Hill to control the Northern Pa cific, a race which did not end until it had caused a crash in Wall Street.
 Today, Averill Hartman, far more liberal than his father, $ something of New Dealer, but still a long, long way from Jose' Stalin. In fact he and Stalin al- ready have come to grips. This was after Hartman had signed a con- tract with the Soviet Government to develop its manganese deposits in the Caucasus.
 The contract was perfectly legal and Hartman already had started investing his money, which among other things was to go toward the construction of a railroad.
 However, the SOVleC GOVernment changed its mind. Stalin decided that these vast manganese deposits should be developed in accordance with Communist methods. After considerable argument, a settle ment was made with Hartman, but even so he lost a sizeable amount of money &.
 Today, however, Harrimana bears no grudge against the Soviet, And the fact that he was appointed to do business with Stalin indicates the new and weird cooperation be- tween capitalists and Communists -~at least as far as regards Adolf Hitler. -.a.a

Butthe spending aofs some of this 4moneg which is coming intoI Juneau for Juneau's betterment is nothing more than wise investment on the part of businessmen who intend to remain in business here.
 It may mean bond issue voted especially to foot the bills for the improvements deemed neces- sary Or the money may be spent by merchants along downtown streets in improving and modern izing their store fronts or in assessments against themselves for street repairs.
 One thing is certain, however. Business is good right now so right is the time to invest in the city in which we live-while we can foot the bills.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today. The stars seem to presage war developments unfortunate for the Allies. Naval losses are fore cast in the Pacific.
 ] HEART AND HOME: Autumn may bring sense of depression to women of all ages as they readjust their households accord ing to changes due to war. Today Venus is in forbidding sway and girls may find heart interests dis appointing. The stars seem to en- courage inconsistency on. the part of young men in uniform Mothers will be wise if they forbid all ex . pressions of discontent or dissatis- faction in the family circle. Prac- tice in keeping thoughts in con- structive channels is recommend ed
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Necessary Government restrictions in certain lines of commerce will cause diff faculties in manufacturing and distribution. Inconsistencies in reg ulations will cause resentment, but general prosperity will be enjoyed by wage -earners of every class. This is an suspicious day for short journeys that assure forget fulness of world tribulations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: AS unlim- tied aid for Britain becomes more imperative each day, women will contribute splendid help in pro viding clothing, bedding and things needed for the coming winter. Stubborn opponents to our iden- tification as an ally will revive chapters of history prejudicial to the beleaguered British Empire, but the stars presage events that will focus attention upon defense which means escape from Nazi serfdom. l INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers who see Emperor Hiro- hito in his cycle of worldly wealth predict that Japan will continue to obey Hitler dictation more read lily than if the stars were less promising. However, there is the prognostication that Japan will be forced to yield to stronger power. After a period of commercial and political humiliation it is predict ed that the ambitious nation will recover under new world order of international relations. Under this new order governments will vary in form, from democracies to limited monarchies, the seers believe.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair success. in business. Litigation and extravaganza should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be well fitted to enjoy life and to make their careers suc- cessful. Many will inherit proper Ity of substantial worth.

Yes, it is true that the Army has ordered 7,500OOO chevrons fcl the sleeves of soldiers. There are two explanations of the tremen- dous size of this order. One comes from a golf club locker room, the ether from the War Department.
 In the locker room, after golf match, the, head of General Coal Company was kidding his friend the head of Middlesex Lace and Embroidery Company, of South River, N. J.
