early February all these hospitals without exception, have been either bombed or afire.
 English hospitals in peacetme, run on a different financial basis than American hospitals. The income received from patients runs from one third to two-fifths of the cost attending them, and the hospitals rely heavily on voluntary sub scriptions Although donors have made every effort to keep up their contributions it is inevitable that the dslocatons and financial strngencies of the have affected phlanthropc activity in England Sucl activity the United States should also be affected but in the opposite way. We should make the small sacrifice involved in keeping these institutions of mercy going freedoms front line.
 news report from London published in last nights Empire recounts that in the attack upon England there have been 50 civilian deaths for every military death That the number of civilian injuries have been the scale goes without saying. As this is war against civilians. the hospitals which Bundles for Britain supports, are endeavoring to keep up their services the public who have found themselves whether they are patients, rheu- matcs or children suffering from rickets, frontine soldiers
 Juneau contributions go to the Woowich Mem orial Hospital at Shooters Hill. Erected in 1927 in memory of those who died in the Great War, it has in its entrance hall roll of honor recording the names of 63O2 residents of that particular district who gave their lives in the 1s14ls struggle. page of the roll is turned each day.
 When war broke out again it was realized that the hospital stood in of the most vulnerable spots in England as Woolwich contains not only the famous Royal Arsenal but also very large docks and a garrison. For that reason the institution is being used clearing station for civilian casualties Since the war began the hospital has suffered on several occasions from enemy action but each time the damage has been repaired quickly and the work goes on. The hospital has also suffered financially since the began. Most of the families of the district it's supporters in normal times, have been evacuated According to Mrs. Edward R. Murrow London representative of Bundles for Britain, Wool wich lies very the heart of the Empire and any help that is given will maintain the strong pulse of the life-b blood that shall bring us victory"
 Juneau should do and is doing its part in help ing to maintain that strong pulse.

FLOATING DEFENSE HOMES

Defense chiefs may soon inausur- ate mobile housing units for defense workmen on the water as well a land, if the novel plan of Housing Coordinator Charles F. Palmer pan out
 Negotiations are under way for tht purchase of an excursion boat to al leviate serious housing shortag at Portsmouth, Virginia, where a naval construction project is under way. If successful here, the plar may be tried out at other seaboarc defense centers.
 Palmer hopes eventually to have number of these floating hotels which would eliminate the delay anc I expense of erecting stationary hous- ing units. The ships could be quick ly connected to shore water and power lines and, once they have served their purpose, be moved to some other point.
 The vessel Palmer is dickering for as starter is the Berkshire, an old New York-to-A Albany nightliner that has been out of commission several years. After reconditioning, it will comfortably house about 600 work CTS. Present plans are to rent cabins at prevailing rooming house rates, $5 week for single and ? for double accommodations
 However, the deal is still up in the air over price. The Maritime Com mission, which is acting as Palmer's agent and Samuel Rosoff, New York subway builder who owns the Berk- shire, haven't been able to get to- gether on figure. Rosoff has turned a deaf ear to the Maritime Commis- sion's offer of $65,000

MONDAY, MARCH 3l

Until late today adverse planetary aspects dominate. There is a sign read as favorable to merchandising. Evil portents for labor are dis cerned, and there may be serious conflicts with heads of great fac tories.
 Heart and Home: This is not a favorable configuration for women. They may be anxious and appre- hensive, restless and uncertain. The seers stress the importance of nv- ing one day at time and making the most of daily opportunities. This is not time to borrow trouble. We must concentrate on aiding those who are already war victims. The wise will be careful in selecting their spring wardrobes, which should contain plenty of suhstan- tial street attire.
 Business Affairs: The end of the month will prove how much can be accomplished by American work CTS. The stream of prosperity will be swollen to flood, it is forecast. The element of surprise, so marked in this war era, will be evident in the accomplishments of defense workers. Many women now will en- gage in technical tasks. while oth-
