Astrology seems to be gaining in pop
ularity, and many are turning to it for
pointers concerning the fate that is in
store for them. Meteorologists are con-
sulting the planets in relation to changes
in the weather, and scientists are seri-
ously discussing the probability, or even
possibility, of the larger planets exert
ing an influence on the earth sufficient
to affect conditions of life or health.
Astronomers do not believe in astrol-
ogy, but are willing to give the unique
science credit for assisting to develop
the science of astronomy. Long before
there was an interest taken in astronomy
there were many careful observers Of
the heavenly bodies. The names chosen
by these men for stars and consultations

used often requires cleaning in the mid
die of the season when it is not practi
cable to lift it from the floor and send to
the cleaners. To clean it on the floor,
first sweep it very thoroughly; then
scour with warm water to which one
pint of oxgall has been added for three
gallons of water. Rinse with plenty of
water and wipe dry as possible with
crash towels. This will clean a large
