CHRISTMAS ROl D THE CORNER Commerce Secretary Roper reports that indica- tions to his department forecast a better Christmas business this year than in 1936, an exceptionally high year. To the rest of us that is a reminder that the great holiday is only 29 business days away and that it isn’t a bit too y to start doing our share of that increased Christmas business. Juneau merchants alrea have substantial stocks on hand and those who look them over now will naturally have a wider ield to choose from than those who wait until the ea; last minute. It's trite, but still wisdom: the rush Shop early and avoid AL \Sl\\ GROWTH The Bureau of the that the population of the United States has increased 828,000 during the last year, bringing the total population of the nation to 129,257,600 persons. Census estimates But of far greater interest to Alaska is the esti- mate made at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday by O. S. Sullivan, Internal Revenue department agent for Alaska, that the Territory is much nearer 80,000 than the popularly accepted 60,000 figure The revenue agent has spent a great around the Territory this past season and his 1tact with Alaskans generally in connection with Wi, duties reveals to him that the Westward and In- “ferior particularly have gained noticeably in popula- Htion. Tax information, on which we assume Mr. Sul- fivan bases his conclusions, should be a fairly accurate barometer. And if it is true that population has in- treuwd in the Westward and Interior, it certainly deal of Garnick CAUSTIC WEEKLY “COMMENTS ~ stolen his brother’s wife. holds for Southeast Alaska.

What we need to do is keep everlastingly at it. is A 15-year-old boy in Chicago is reported to have Which is pretty good proof that he isn’t much more than 15. They can have their good old days. A sit-down strike at General Motors and threat of a $hip tie-up in Seattle reminds us of “good old days" of last year which we would just as soon skip. The President has lost his aching tooth, but that isn't the only pain around Washington that has been bothering him with Congress again in session \ihelsm on the Ebb (Literary Digest) Latest figures of the Associated Pres: Russia indicate that there are now onl active, fighting atheists, out of a population of million. The 2 million are members of the League of the Militant Godless, headed by Yemelyan Yaro- slavsky, the Russian “Robert Ingersoll.” In the wild revolutionary and post-revolitionary days, this crusading organization flourished and spread far. But now Comrade Yaroslavsky is gravely per- turbed, for his anti-church membership has shrunk from its former strength of 5 million. “School children even sing in church choirs in some places,” he mourns. | So anti-religion in Russia, like radical economic Bolshevism, is waning. Though certainly not a reli- gious man, Dictator Stalin was educated to be a priest, and his devoted old mother, who died not long ago, was deeply religious to the end of her days. Under the new and very theoretical Russian constitution, clergymen can vote, and the Godless fear church in- fluence in the coming December elections for the Russian Supreme Soviet, or Parliament. Historians point to the parallel of France. Prior | to her revolution in 1789, Catholicism was the SO]E French state religion. After the revolution came He- bert’s agnostic cult of the Goddess of Reason, Robespierre’s unitarian sect of the Supreme Being. Finally, Napoleon instituted three state religions Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. This triple arrange- ment persisted down to 1905, when church and state were separated, as in the United States. Thus, in matters of belief, it took more than eleven decades to stabilize France only two decades.

Warning is given that the temp- tation to live recklessly will be strong in the coming months. Gam- ing, speculation and high living will be prevalent. The stars presage perils for the young, - especially for students in high schools and colleges. Cause for reviving campaigns for prohibi- tion will be insistent, if studied ser- iously. Accidents, especially involving mo- tor vehicles, will be numerous to- day. Airplanes may encounter bad weather. Girls may be vain and self-cen- tered under this direction of the planets. Foolish love affairs will bring grief to many who seek ad- miration. i Again labor is under threatening| portents which may be responslble[ for suffering among workers. Win-| |ter strikes are foreseen. Old persons should avoid large cities as places of residence. Il omens attend all risks to health as| the new era progresses. i High rents and rising prices for| food will |families at this time; there will |be many calls for relief, especially| for starving multitudes in Asia and Europe. Persons whose birthdate it is hnve the augury of a year of perplexities, especially those that concern the heart. The young should be cautious in love affairs. Children born on this day prob- ably will be emotional and temper- amental. Subjects of this sign may be unstable but extremely talented. Walter Evans Edge, Senator and diplomat, was*born on this day 1874. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Arthur Sutterman, poet, 1871; Patrick Joseph Hayes, Roman Catholic Cardinal, 1887. (Copyright, 1937) ) | | | affect many American!
