Deceit, secrecy and even disloy- |alty are encouraged by the stars un- der this configuration which pres- ages concern regarding subversive | movements anhd organizations. Labor unions are to be sudject to more serious efforts to undermine them than at any time in the past. | Strikes of great potentialities are | presaged but compromises are in- | dicated. Many changes in official posts in Washington, D. C. are prognosti- cated. Honors and promotions will e numerous and women will re- | ceive unusual recognition for high | services. Girls will receive chivalrous. trib- utes under this rule of the stars which encourages reverence rather than sentiment. At several universi- ties there will be ceremonies ' of unusial significance. Crops this year should be geod, but prices of foodstuffs will be | high. Exports of grain will be heavy. Farmers should profit. There may |be many pests to destroy crops. Close relations between the Unit- ed States and Great Britain may cause disapproval in certain quar- t but it will prove fortunate®in the end for this country. Persons whose birthdate it is have a ar of fortunate activity. Sub- Jjects of this sign of Gemini are en- ergetic, restless, adaptable and suc- cessful. Children born on this day prob- ably will be imaginative and sen- sitive. Many succeed in creative arts such as painting and writing. ,: (Copyright, 1939) i e NO SERVICES SUNDAY AT TRINITY CHURCH Dean C. E.

The water got them. Since it seems clear that a valve that remained open at the time of the dive was to blame for the trag- edy, a hunt for the cause is nar- | rowed almost entirely to two possible failures, one human, one mechanical. Both center around that vital dial board which submarine officers | 5 !call the “Chri RED MEANS DANGER | On the Seal which we explored, and on the Squalus, the “Christmas | tree” was a square dial constantly showing a combination of green and red lights as long as the ship is on the surface and a vent in the hull | is open. A red light on the dial shows a hull opening has not been closed. No dive must be ordered until the | whele dial shows green. Each hull | opening has its own pair of lights, )red and green, and each light is numbered so the light will show iexavtl,v the particular hull opening which is open. The question then, did the | “Christmas tree” fail to show one valve was open at the time of the dive; or did the officer responsible for watching the dial fail to note the one lone red light warning that a dive would bring disaster? i “Human errors are possible, and | mechanical errors are possible,” a' naval officer told us. “Maybe God only knows what happened on the Squalus.” | > | THATCHER IN | Irl Thatcher, traveling man, is a guest at the Baranof Hotel after returning from a business trip to Sitka on the Aleutian. > FRIDAY MEANS Fried Filet of Sole for Luncheon at the BARANOF Juneau, The B.
