e — THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1940 | has been a dark one, with rising rather than fall- ing curves of fatalities and disablement, The opportunity is before the motorist and pedestrian this Fourth of July to check this grim tide, If the man at the wheel will never for an instant forget that his control of a swift and heavy vehicle confers no right to disregard the rights of others, and if the man, woman and child afoot will remember to look before they walk, and to heed the common-sense protections which have been thrown around them at crossings] it will be a better and for all of us.

The Senate unanimously and the House by 382 to 8 have passed a joint resolution saying this country will lremsc to recognize the change of title from one Euro- pean power to another of “any geographic region” on this side of the Atlantic. This country will do more than refuse to recog- nize such changes, It will prevent them. If neces- sary warships will be sent to such possessions “not | to make war upon them, but to make sure that war is not made upon them,” in the words of Senator Connally. This places new emphasis on the fundamentals of the Monroe Doctrine. Other steps in the same direction have been taken by the government.

Women are under a fortu- nate direction of the stars. The morning is a time for serious thought, for the mind should be clear and the judgment good. Heart and Home: Women are un- der good direction today, which is most favorable for hospitalities: of an informal nature. In all proba- bility the young will be exceeding- ly susceptible to romance. Recent college graduates will be lucky jn receiving offers that assure em= ployment for well-trained men and | women. Modern ideas of a radical nature will now be discarded as| patriotic teachings gain force. Am-| erican homes will be appreclated | with a new understanding of their beauty and luxury. Business Affairs: While mer- chants and manufacturers are to reap handsome profits through the summer, men in all lines of busi- ness or professional activity should be cautious in financial matters. Debt should be avoided with spec- ial determination, since interna- tional banking problems will affect the United States, Agriculturists should profit handsomely, although exports may be curtailed, National Issues: Appeals to class consciousness will be made with un- usual violence as the national po- litical campaign advances. Under the label of ‘“peace” subversive agents will gain support. Secret machinations against the Govern- ment will increase, It is well to remember that the Orient still con- tains potential dangers for the United States, even though atten- tion focuses chiefly on Europe. International Affairs: Bulgaria comes under a threatening rule of the stars. Internal troubles as well as outside dangers are presaged. Severe tests for King Boris are foretold. Turkey continues under a configuration that threatens the death or retirement of a leading figure. Alignment with powers that represent progress will cause se- vere strain to the country which will demonstrate that its military strength is remarkable in certain ways: Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of first- rate prospects. Women should be on guard against persons of de- signing nature. Children born on this day prob- ably will be kindly, well balanced and talented. They probably will be affectionate and home-loving, but lacking in self-assurance, FRIDAY, JULY 5 Benefic aspects dominate today. It is a fortunate day for launch- ing enterprises that pertain to in- dustry. Manufacturing interests will be stimulated and labor will cooperate, It is an auspicious date for signing contracts. Heart and Home: Women will be more and more interested in the scientific promotion of all that pertains to the home and especi- ally to cooking. The preparation of | food is to assume extraordinary importance. Good news may be ex- | pected regarding the family. Young persons will find employment, es- pecially in the industries. Writers will be plentiful among college graduates this year. American for- eign correspondents will add to their fame.

Taxes will rise if| the stars are rightly read. National Issues: The Philippines will present new and serious prob- lems to the United States. A sud- den, surprising coup is to arouse the concern of the United States Government which is to discover that in a world that is slipping back into barbarism the principles ol democracy are not understood. Hawaii will command unusual at- tention and its defenses will be strengthened. International Affairs: After se- vere criticism and various changes in the personnel of those directing the British war tactics, the autumn is to bring more favorable condi- tions and new allies to the nation. World War history, as far as its influence upon the United States is concerned, is to be repeated. Closer relations with Canada will be precipitated by events of su- preme importance to the nation. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress and prosperity. Domestic hap- piness is forecast for many men and women, Children born on this day will be dependable, dignified and gen- erous.
