That line of reasoning, if sustained, would give the Federal Gov- ernment jurisdiction over the Cincinnati Street Rail- way Company, over every grocery store here and elsewhere, and over just about everything else on the map. State rights would disappear, and a completely |centralized bureaucratic government would come in, | washington making itself over into another Berlin, ‘possibly minus the goosestep.

La- (2) that the cars|yo. continues under ominous in- fluences which preuce serious | state cummurce and (3) that the company buys problems affecting war production. HEART AND HOME: Women | should devote ' chief attention to| making plans today. Honnkeepcrw as well as college students will real- | ize that war service is their obli-| gation. Those with vision will fore- see futuré public responsibilities | which completely change the pat- tern of their lives, astrologers fore- cast. Social customs led by mem-| pers of what was formerly the | leisure class will vanish. The sim- ple life in which true democracy prevails will extend over a period of several years, it is prophesied. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This month, which long has been des- ignated as one of crisis in labor relations with Government and private employers, is to bring about conditions of grave concern to many manufacturers. Great wis- | dom and diplomacy must be em- ployed in assuring justice to work- ers and increased production for war needs. Signs of portent in the horoscopes of union leaders warn of danger, the seers declare. NATIONAL ISSUES: When mil- lions of patriotic Americans are risking their lives in the war, the utmost service is imperative among | citizens of every class, those who read the stars emphasize, as they | discern threatening portents and warn of dangers. Only by.complete unity of thought and effort can |victory be gained, they foresee. Tt is possible to be defeated by Axis| forces which compel sacrifices greater than any even visioned by democratic peoples, the seers de- clare. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Battles on a scale of greatest ex-| tent and terrible ferocity belong to the coming weeks when United Nations will - continue to perform deeds of splendid sagacity and he- roism. Reverses are to beé met, it is forecast, as Axis powers ignore civi- lized modes of warfare and have recourse to barbaric practices. The st-rs again are read as presaging | defeat of the Nazis before the Jap- |anese are subdued. Supreme con- | centration of effort will be neces- sary by citizens of the United States if the war is not to be unnecessar- mittee on mines and mining for iy Prolonged. | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- 20 YEARS AGO I%% pupine APRIL 16, 1923 Members of the petit and grand juries reported for duty at 10 io'clock in the morning when the April term of the United States Dis- trict Court convened.

Food and punch were served at small tables arranged about the hall during the entire evening by members of the Juneau Mothers' Club assisted by a group of young matrons and Misses of the town. Miss Marie Falldine, Publioc Health Nurse, expected to leave on the Queen for the southern district to carry on her work there. She was to be absent from Juneau for seevral weeks. Miss Myrtle R.
