The Alaska Steam- | ship Cempany remembered the date and in an advertisement in last night's Empire very graciously congratulated the City on its 40th anniversary. Juneau has a population of 5800.

There should be tidings encouraging to trade, but new ventures should not be launched under this configuration. The stars do not promise romance for the young. However, love let- ters may be fortunate for the writ- ers. Heart and Home: The morning hours are fortunate for planning and the wise will avoid adding to their liabilities. It is a time to pay off mortgages and to complete pur- chases made on the installment system. The seers stress the impor- tance of thrift even in families of adequate incomes, This year is to be remembered happily when the days of reckoning come for the nation, Business Affairs: The inter- national banking system will focus the attention of business leaders as necessary readjustments are found necessary. Again this coun- try will cause envy in foreign lands, for it will dare to adopt reforim pelicies of potential value, though difficult for a time. Careful pro- cedure is recommended by the seers. National Issues: Political ma- chines will be mended, but will break down as the national cam- paign proceeds. The stars appear to smile upon me¢n who have been tested in severe experiences, as candidates appeal for support. Those who read the stars foretell that 1940 and 1941 will offer dif- ficulties that require the ability of a superman in the highest office of the government. Because super- men are scarce, the more seasoned will have the best chances. International Affairs: Changes in war leadership among the Allies are forecast, for death is to re- move conspicuous figures from both the British and the French gov- ernments. A royal personage will come to the end of his career be- fore autumn. Cities in Europe will suffer from epidemics and the mortality record will be high. Re- storation of a monarchy in Spa.n will be advocated. Persons whose birthdate is may desire travel or change, but they should remain in the grooyes it Q. What is the P. P.
