IHIIN enterprising psychologist who
AI has been studying youthful love
A<G by the up-to-date method Of the
QUESTIONABLE has discovered that IA per
cent of $40 young men and maids by
their own confession feel a desire to
see their sweethearts whenever they
look upon the moon.
With this evidence before us we need
no longer wonder that the queen or
heaven" worship of whom Is older
even than that of the sun, was once
identified with Astarte, who was recog-
nized by the Egyptians as goddess OF
love and who later ruled in Hellas as
Aphrodite.
1t was a bachelor, / believe, who de-
clared that maids-and particularly the
summer girl-like the moon because
there is a man in it. On the other
hand, men like the moon, 1t seems, be-
cause, as Fontanelle assures us, there
is woman in 1t.
Anyway the moon and lovemaking
and marriage have become curiously
mixed UP in the popular superstitions
of the Old World. and few OF these
odd beliefs have come into our own
land and are occasionally celebrated In
the spirit Of fun.

THE MOON, LOVEMAK|NG AND MARRIAGE
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

In an old English chapbook is de-
scribed one singular method of divina-
ton which is full Of moonshine. When
YOU go to bed In the season Of the har-
vest moon, 1t says, place under your
pillow a prayer book open at the part
of the marriage service, which reads,
with this ring thee we'd; place on
it key, a ring, flower and sprig of
willow, a small heart cake, crust of
bread and the following cards: The ten
of clubs, nine of hearts. ace OF spades
and the ace of diamonds. Wrap all
these in a thin handkerchief and with
your head upon them say:
Luna, every woman's friend.
To me thy goodness condescendi
Let me this night in vision see
EmbIems of my distiny."
If you dream of storms trouble will
be your lot. If the storm ends in calm
you may expect your fate to do like
wise. To dream of a ring or the ace OF
diamonds signifies marriage. Bread is
the symbol of anAndustrious life; cake.
of a prosperous life; flowers, of joy;
willow, of treachery in love.
Spades mean death; diamonds,
money; clubs, a foreign land; hearts,
an unfortunate love affair; keys, that
you will rise to great trust and power
and never know want: birds, that you
will have a large family, and geese,
that you will marry more than once.
For myself, 1 would rather dream on
wedding cake. 1t is just as sure
charm and more satisfactory to the
palate afterward; besides. you don't
have to wait for the harvest moon.
There are other love customs asso-
ciated with the moon which are really
pretty. All Of them, however, are very
much alike. For instance, among the
Highland Scots and in some parts of
England the women curtsey to the new
moon. saying:
"All hail to thee, moon, all hail to thee,
I prithee, good moon, declare to me
This night who shall my true love be-"
The consensus Of opinion appears to
be that the moon affects the hearts Of
human beings as inexplicably and as
powerfully as it affects the tide. The
"spotless Dion leading her snowy
fawns' abroad has subtler influence
upon the destiny Of mortals than the
splendid sun, who has the name Of be-
ing king Of earth and sky. Thus. In
Liber Amoris, are their separate offices
distinguished. sings the moon song:
Sunlight lures, like golden fleece,
Eastward; mine is westward. peace;
His a trumpet, mine a tabor, his for
labor,
Mine for love-"

HOW WEATHER
PREDICTIONS
ARE MADE

In the January Worlds Work there
is a very clear description OF the
methods and principles involved In
making the weather forecasts issued
daily by the United States Govern
n7ent.
Not the least valuable assistance the
Government renders mariners and
farmers is furnished in its weather
forecasts, four-fifths Of which turn out
to be correct. Indeed the record Of
the Weather Bureau for the past five
years has been that no serious storm
has occurred that has not been pre-
dfcted sufficiently long in advance for
all people whose interests are affected
by the weather to take due precau-
tions. Daily at o'clock in the morn
ing and at o'clock in the evening by
Eastern time. observers at more than
200 stations in the United States.
Northern Mexico, Southern Canada
and the West Indies telegraph to map
making stations observations on every
detail of the weather. such as tenn
perature, humidity, the kind and the
direction of clouds and so on. At each
of these stations charts made from the
information in the reports are pre-
pared for free distribution over the ad-
joining district. In many places in the
West the weather forecast is tele-
phoned from central telephone STA
tions to all the farmers in the neigh
borhood.
The approximate accuracy of the
fnrnna cfc lfC h. !,
Government observers know how the
weather conditions move. Seven
tenths of our storms, for example. be-
gin in the northwest, move southeast
and then curve north again over the
Great Lakes and disappear to the east
down the st. Lawrence Valley, though
the West India hurricanes move first
west and then northeast. The storms
are located by low barometic readings
and by the direction of the winds
which whirl about a storm center in
the opposite direction to that of NOV
ing clock hands, sometimes spinning
around a circle a thousand miles in
diameter. To the east of the storm
blow southerly moist winds which
bring rain. To the west of the storm
come winds from west or northwest
bringing colder weather. So by ex-
perience the weather observers receiv-
ing reports of the conditions at storm
centers can predict from the rapidity
OF the movement from west to east
how far a storm will advance in twelve
or twentyfour hours and what kind of
weather will result in every quarter of
IL. Predictions can thus be made two
or three days in advance. And now
the Government is building on Mount
Weather, Va, an observatory for
weather research. Efforts will be
made there to establish forecasts of
whole seasons.

woman may become a citizen Of the
United States by naturalization, the
fact of her naturalization would not
make a citizen of her son If he were
born in a foreign country and the
father had never resided in the United

heretofore born or hereafter born
out of the limits of the United States
whose fathers were or may be citizens
thereof at the time Of their birth are
declared to be citizens of the United.

shall not descend to children whose

City. If a youth of 19 born in Germany
left his native country before he gave
his country the military service he is
required by law to give and came to
the United States and in due time be-
came citizen of that country and de-
cided to return to his native country,
he would be liable to be forced into
the army. The United States would
not interfere, as the individual owed
the service to his country before he be-
came citizen. BY an understanding
between Germany and the United
States, in time OF peace, a native OF
Germany who escaped military service
and became a citizen of the United
States is permitted to return to his ma

remain four months: should he remain
beyond that time he would be liable to
arrest and made to take his place in
