BERNARD Becond and Main Streets, Juneau, ‘;nhhr has access ;to other sources of information about the United States that are not available in the case of Germany or France. American periodicals and { books have a large circulation in' Great Britain, ay nothing of American motion pictures, and Ameri- broadcasts have a large body of British steners. This applies especially to the background nformation which is so necessary to a correct under- tanding of the fresh news of the day. To be sure, the British public which gets its sole nformation about America from its newspapers is nuch larger, it is in every country, than the public hat supplements its daily information with periodical rature and books.

Of course, there is no reason to be- > that Marx was a serious student of biology. But arwin was. So—the Moscow students reason—Men- el must be taboo since he tends to contradict Marx , and some of Marx is based on Darwin. On this ground of high ideological treason they are attacking Professor Vaviloff, world-famous Soviet geneticist who happens to be a Mendelian. They de- mand suppression of his textbook and want one writ- ten by Professor T. D. Lysenko, the “Soviet Burbank,” who, they , is free from Mendelian heresy.

Benefic aspects are strong here and there through the passing hours. In the morning, persons in posi- tions of authority are fortunate. The stars encourage executive ability and keen foresight. The people will turn to leaders in business and govern- ment. While labor may interpose ob- stacles in certain centers of indus- try, there is a sign favorable to ac- complishment. New enterprises should benefit and good luck should attend the beginning of many im- portant projects. Business is subject to stimulating conditions, but warning is given that there may be a tendency toward too great optimism as prosperity becomes more general. This Is to be a banner year. Preparation for extraordinary events in 1940 has been frequently urged. The stars warn that finan- cial crises, individual and national, may be expected, as natignal elec- tion uncertainties generate danger- ous possibilities. ‘Women should find this an aus- picious date for entertaining. The stars smile upon hospitalities ancd indicate that social contacts may become significant in public rela- ions. ‘The evening is a lucky time for meeting strangers of opposite sex. Girls are admonished to depend upon their brains rather than their beauty if they desire to make im- pressions upon eligible young men. Jealousy and deceit are supposed to be inspired by one of the day's adverse aspects. Much silly gossip is presaged and may cause grave consequences. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of memorable events. For many, domestic up- heavals are prognosticatéd, but in certain cases good fortune will fol- low changes. Children born on this day may be intensely sensitive to occult influ- ences. These subjects of Cancer usu- ally are intelligent and gifted, but inclined to be temperamental. | From THE BMP® JULY 6, 1919 Jerry C.
