It seems that King George, along with his crown, inherited a head- ache as to how to provide for his older brother, the abdicated Edward VIIL } Of course, we don’t expect to see George lose |any sleep over it, or be forced to put the grocer off | until 1 | just as bothersome a problem. ! If, along with his renunciation of the crown Edward became a mere commoner, there would be ‘lml)lmu to it. He could write his memoirs or indorse a cigarette, (for much more than $1,000) or even get a job. But, Edward is still a Peer—he still belongs to the reigning family and as such these commercial, though lucrative, means are barred to him. Two burning questions that seem to be causing difficulty are: (1) What property King now own? and (2) What income has he to re- ceive? There are family—National and private. there can be no doubt, two kinds of property in the Royal As to National prop- erty the points out. London, Windsor Castle and Holyrood in Edinburgh, Hampton Court and Kensington Palace, and even Edward's favorite residence, Belvidere, belong to the nation and are maintained by Parliament, and only at the disposal of the sovereign for the time being. However, private property is a different matter. There is Marlborough House, handed down from Queen Victoria, also Sandringham in Norfolk bought by King Edward VII in 1861 for $1,300,000. Then, there is Balmoral in Scotland. In the case of a peerage, the property and title is inherited by the eldest son. Following this tradition, the Royal property was inherited by Edward through his father, George V, but the big question seems to be does he now lose this property along with the crown?

Official Washington was deeply concerned over the revealing of a plot attack the Mexico or Japan, if this country did not remain neutral. George B. Grigsby, elected to the position of Attorney General of the Territory, took his oath of office and assumed his officiel duties. The canvassing board closed its session by giving James Wicker- {sham a plurality of 31 votes over Charles Sulzer, previously declared elected Delegate to Congress from Alaska L. Carlson, of the Taku arrived from the south and was at the Gastineau. John J. P. Rineberg of Atlin arrived the North and was at the (r.l stineau. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Humpheries had moved into the Wollenberg, house on Main Street. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Preston were rejoicing over the arrival of a son. Pete Carlson left for a short trip south. He was accompanied by his daughter. rl Hunter of the Gastineau Transportation Company was a southbound passenger on the Al-Ki. 2 [tion of this month is not a fortunate Horoscope “The stars inclice but do not eompel” SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1937 on the part of Germany to| According to astrology this last United States through day of the month is unimportant The sway encourages interest in churches and in planetary direction. those who head congregations.

Warning is given that liberal ag- encies will seek to undermine the churches of every creed. Therefore no prejudice should be harbored within Protestant and Roman Ca- tholic ranks for they will have cause to unite on many public issues. With the beginning of spring on March 21, students of the Pyra- mid of Gizeh believe that the world will enter the King's Chamber. IThis has a supreme significance to, !many who study the hidden pro- phesies. Good news of some sort may be expected before tomorrow, but ex- cept in the United States there may be threatening forces that are of sinister power. Girls now may prepare for a springtime of many ardent swains and numerous amusements. Gayety will be general in this country, while in far places chaos is immi-| nent. ious organization will establish in one. There may be an unusual epidemic of intestinal influenza and lmany cases of pneumonia. ‘Workers now come under a sway that gives cause for anxiety in gov- ernment circles. Differences be- tween employers and employees in certain cases may reach a desper- ate impasse. New factory laws and better work- ing conditions are indicated. There may be a growing resentment among capitalists as they are forced to spend large sums of money for the protection of employees. The career of a famous radical or socialist leader may end this month and his successor will be more conservative and more diplo- matic. This is read as a rarely fortu- nate day for women who should be- gin early in the morning to carry 'out important plans. Later in the day they may encounter severe criticism of their movements for the preservation of peace and their ef- forts toward reforms in public in- stitutions. This is not a lucky sway for wed- Idzngs since it is likely that the bride and bridegroom will follow diverg- \ing interests. { It is not a favorable rule under |which to launch new enterprises in the entertainment world. There is a sign encouraging con- .structive thought amd” effort, but conservative policies rust prevail if success is to be attained. The evening 1s a propitious time for lovers, and they may be in-| ifluenced more by emotion than by ! common sense. Hasty weddings will be numerous all through the year.
