Wellington, 1011 American Bank Buildine THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE SAl'URDAY ]ULY IS 939 From April 30, when the fair opened, until a !ew days ago, some 10,000,000 visitors had eaten 2,286,000 hot dogs, but only 1,524,176 hamburgers. Probably | Mr. Wimpy of the comic pages will demand a recount His perennial invitation to “have one with me on you” has unquestionably boomed the hamburger. But against his consistent support must be set down the fact that it was a hot dog, not a hamburger, which was offered to the royal teeth of Mr. and Mrs. Windsor at the recent Hyde Park picnic. Will the hamburger | rally from this royal slight? We'll leave the answer to the respective cheering sections. Perhaps, after all, the final honors will be even, and the Great American Picnicker will munch | contentedly, a hamburger in one hand, a hot dog in | the other, and his mouth too full for argument. Gold Crop Coming In Reassuring (Fairbanks News-Miner) Bank and other authorative sources report goll from widely scattered Interior Alaska mining camps ic now coming in, enroute to mints in the States in a steady stream—indicating a prosperous season throughout the vast area A plentiful snowfall in spring favored the miner, and the frequent recent rains have also helped, giving a continued abundance of water for hydraulics and other placer mining operations. The gold harvest for the season promises to be one of the best for many years This condition applied chiefly to placer mining, but a number of hard rock propositions also are adding their share. And several of the quartz properties long in the process of steady development are reported to SUNDAY, JULY 16, 1939 Although this is read as an un- | certain day benefic aspects are | strong in the afternoon. According | to astrology the planetary influences | encourage introspection and dis- content. Conflicting and illogical views re- | garding public affairs may be preva- | lent. Even the dullest voters will feel | competent to manage government affairs. Many persons will be susceptible to dangerous propaganda in com- ing weeks. International relations will cause anxiety. This is a date favorable to keen mental vision and fortunate speakers and writers who seek to lead public opinion. Editors and for- eign correspondents are well direct- ed. Good news may be expected in to- morrow’s mail. Busin men are likely to receive large orders for merchandise. Prosperity is indicated | for many. In the evening there is a sign <timulating strenuous activities in coming weeks. Outdoor recreations b apped rich pay zones and to be about to add their contribution to the production column. | Men with the courage and the will to do are being | rewarded. There always are a percentage who fail | to find what they seek, but no mine ever was opened | without that prime ntial of faith coupled with de- { termination.

Professor Harlow Shap- ley thinks this body must have been a minute comet. Suppose it had been larger, and suppose that it had fallen not in a desolate region of the earth but in populous Europe or America. Cities blasted out of existance, rivers flashing into steam, great bridges and machines melting like lead—no romancer could exag- gerate the probable devastation scorched ‘There is only one consolation in this dismal pie-| ture. No shooting star is likely to demolish the earth. The big ones are too few; the atmosphere is too dense. Yet our planet has been fortunate. Considering that it has been pelted for some two or three billion years it is little short of miraculous that history records no major catastrophe traceable to a meteorite. HOT DOG ()l!

This region has architects and contractors emin- ently qualified, by their experience in Alaska and on large private and governmental contracts elsewhere, to undertake the current projects. Under the circumstances the navy department should do something more than include architects and contractors from Puget Sound in a general list of those qualified for the Alaska work. Other things being equal the designers and con- truction experts who make their headqus this area should be given a preference when the Alaska selections are made.

Here, in the men’s singles, is a league of nations in miniature, with players from the four cor- ners of the earth pitting their skill and strength against each other in friendly rivalry. In the fourth round draw, to pick but a few names, we find the perennial H. W. (Bunny) Austin of Great Britain, Franz Kukuljevic of Yugoslavia, Henner Henkel of | Germany, the veteran Jacques Brugnon of France, | Emil Gabory of Hungary, A. D. Russell of Argentina, Gaus Mohammed of India and Bobby Riggs of the United States. In other sections of the tournament Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Rumania, Bohemia and Mora- via, China, Denmark, Luxembourg and New Zealand are represented. Even Italy, whose Lawn Tennis | Federation last February promulgated the incredible | totalitarian ruling that in international competition players must henceforth wear uniforms and refrain from shaking hands in order “to avoid the weed of in- | timacy” had its representatives. Whether they obeyed the mandate, history does not relate. In any case, the tennis court, like the arena of other sports, forms a great melting pot.

MONDAY, JULY 17, 1939 Until late today adverse planetary influences are strong, according to astrology. Restraint should be em- ployed where important work is in- volved Industry may be hampered by la- bor costs and union difficulties. In- creased demands for workers are forecast. Nerves may be affected by weather as well as by financial strain. Mental poise may be subject to wrbance. Thoughts should be to eliminate fear and ! anxiety Young folk are subject to portents that suggest excessive egotism and self-confidence, but the seers de- ylare that they are merely prepar- | ing for public service and private business requiring courage. Accidents may be numerous uns der this sway which is unfortunate for navigaticn in air or water. Ma- *hinery should be carefully inspect- , for serious defects. The evening is promising for writ- ers and accountants. It is a lucky time for signing contracts or leases. The stars encourage practical plan- ning. This evening there is a sign of good luck for new acquaintances among young people. Trustworthy friendships will be formed under this rule of the planets.

(Continued from Page One) In 1928 Chile took $16,000,000 for such buildings, irrigagtion works, rail- roads and sewage systems. The city of Baranquilla, Colombia, bor- rowed $2,500,000 to imprave the water and sewage systems, ve roads and build a packing plant.
