should hate to think that.
long ago some women got together
and tried to have the photographs of
certain famous pieces of scripture,
such as the Discus Thrower and the
APP 10 Belvidere, removed from the
public library. They said these would
faint the minds of the boys and girls.
And-all honor to nina Presby-
terian clergyman protested.
His protest, quoted by a New York
paper, expresses my views so We'll that
also am going to quote it.
Let a boy and girl go into that
library together and see the Discus
Thr wer or the Apollo Belvidere," said
the clergyman, land they see some
thing that is beautiful and inspiring.
They see nothing to make the sweetest,
most innocent girl in the world blush,

But along comes the busybOdy
shrieking nastiness and calling it
purity. She points to the fig leaf.
which Is to. her the principal thing in
the picture, and she whispers to the
boy and girl.
The boy and the girl are tainted
then. not by the picture but by the
busybody, and they do blush.
Dirt has been put in the place Of
culture, and the attack on the true
natural decency of those children may
put their minds on q lower level for
life"
One man may sec beautiful pic
ture and find nothing but beauty in it.
Another looks at the same picture
and thinks evil thoughts.
And the evil may not come from the
picture.
Before anyone criticises any picture
or performance or book or anything
that is striving to be a work of art,
it seems to me he would do well to
make very, very sure that the evil
is not in his own eyes.

ENUMERATORS ARE
SCARCE THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-Cen-
sus Director Durand stated today that,
as a result of his conferences with the
supervisors of census throughout the
country he finds that in many sections.
especially in the larger cities, there
have not been as yet sufficient applica-
tions for the positions of enumerators.
1t looks, he thinks, as if the country is
so prosperous that people are not as
anxious to get these responsible places
as had been expected.
The scarcity is giving the director
some concern, as only few weeks re-
main before the date for closing the
consideration of applications. 1t will
be impossible generally to extend the
application time limit, as to examine
the test" papers, with the necessary
care to insure the designation of quail
fled persons, will consume every mo-
ment of the time allowed for this phase
of the work Of selecting the enumerat-
ors. leaving nothing for an extension Of
the date for shutting down on applica-
tions.
The director therefore urges all per-
some desiring places as enumerators to
make application as quickly as possible
and he hopes that. in order to help get
perfect census. public-spirited and
energetic people throughout the coun-
try will offer themselves for these posi-
tons. even though they may not care
for them from the standpoint of the
pay involved. He also trusts that en-
ployers viii deem it their duty to give
leave of absence to their employees who
may desire to act as enumerators. Some
slight sacrifice of this sort will be am
ply repaid by the improved quality of

YEAR FALLS UPON

versation ruled, and much communion
between minds, as expressed by letters
and correspondence. All things intel
lectual would be delighted in. Tho
sign of the year, as evidenced by tho
ruler of it's first day would be the es-
tablishment of scholastic enterprises
Thursday ForeteIIs Good Luck.
Thursday was a fortunate day on
which the New Year could fall. Now
the ruler was Jupiter. the benefcent
planet, bringer of good luck, peace.
plenty Harmony was the prevailing
influence of his day and year. The rul-
ing planet infused hope, warmth of
nature, delight in life, into the day
governed by him. Happiness was the
gift of Thursday; prosperity the key
note of the year such a New Years
day should herald.
Still another pleasant day for the
New Year to fall upon was Friday. This
is contrary to the general belief. But
Friday has only been called unlucky
since the Christian era. and on account
of the events of the Crucifixion.
This day was allotted to Venus. an
other good planet. Her influence over
her day and year was cheerfulness.
auietness, love of all things beautiful
and artistic.
Gaiety, ight-heartedness. brightness
were the keynotes of a Friday New
Year The vice of such year would
be an excessive pursuit Of pleasure,
leading to selfshness.
Saturday was Saturn's day. Method
ruled, with meditation, caution and
great patience The Saxon gods from
whom the days were named had no
part in this planetary day ruling.

Exercise and Baths

! new life to the blood.
In drying the body and performing
specific exercise at the same time, the
towel should be stretched in both
hands as a wand: the same move
ments may be simulated as in the use
of dumb bells, weights and parallel
bars.
The towel is drawn directly over the
| flesh in rapid, though not hurried,
stroke, the same way that a polishing
cloth is used on shoes, which brings
the blood tingling to the surface.
For Chest and Arms.
Standing erect or STOPPING, the body
should be held correctly When drying
| the chest, the arms should be held out
and slightly back, which stretches the
muscles of the shoulders and gives the
! lungs ample room to perform their
work. Throw the towel across the
chest, and with both hands use the

wards and forwards.
! For the arms. throw the towel over
and with one hand gripping the flesh,
wiring it on the bone, while turning
the arm at the same time so as to re-
/ sist the movement. This is a splendid
exercise to reach all the muscles and

supple. Grasp the arm near the
shoulder from underneath, the fingers
on the inner vide and the thumb lost

] Back Strokes.
For drying the back, hold the head
slightly to one lie and draw the tow
el diagonally acl oss the back from
the right shoulder IL the left hip; then
horizontally, across the back, from the
hip line to as far up the middle OF the
back as is possible. Certain sets of
muscles are reached in this way which
would otherwise be left Idle
After a little practice it is surpris-
ing how easy it is to take these back
movements, though you may feel lit
tie bit discouraged at first, for the
muscles are weak and stiff
In drying the back be sure to go TO
the end of the spine, using the hori
Zontal stroke.

hold the shoulders straight and to
bend the back from the hips. The

WALSH WILL
HAVE MONEY

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-John r. Walsh,
former president of the defunct Chi
cagO National bank, convicted on
charges of Misrepresentation of it's
funds, whose case will come up on
Wednesday before the United States
supreme court for final settlement, will
not be penniless after a settlement Of
claims aggregating more than $7,OOO,-
900 with the Chicago clearing house
banks.
The clearing house banks hold notes
of the eX-banker amounting to ST.
121,SS7.12, and plans are being per-
fected for the payment of these obi
cations in a few days.
When Mr. Walsh has paid this
amount, it was revealed today, he still
will be worth between 100000 and
$3.50, 900.
Stocks and real estate worth nearly
$3.50, 900 will be left Mr. Walsh after
all obligations have been satisfied, the
remnant of a fortune variously esti-
mated from $1O,OOO,OO0 to $4,000 900.

rector said:
Although the actual work of taking
the census will not begin until April 10,
it is essential that those who wish to
act as enumerators should apply i'm

cumstances, no application received af-
ter January Is will be considered
About $4,000 enumerators will be re-
fquired Each will work in his own To-

supervisors in determining the compe-
tence of the candidates, written test

tween the ages of IS and 20 who is a
citizen of the United States will be per-
mitted to take it.
1.-The test will be of strictly prac-
teal character, substantially the same
as was used in 1900. 1t will consist of
filling out sample schedule of popu-
lation, and, in the case of rural dis
tricts, filling out also sample schedule
of agriculture, these schedules being
precisely the same as will actually be
used by the enumerators in their work
later on In order to assist candidates
in preparing for the test, copies of the
blank schedules and general instruc.
tions regarding the manner of filling
them will be furnished to each candi.

When astrologers held fair amount
of power during the Middle Ages and
horoscopes were cast for everyone as
matter of course. it was considered
rather an important matter to under
stand the ruler of the day which began
the New Year
A different planet was assigned to
each day. and the characteristics OF
that planet We're applied to the infiu-
ences that would act during the day If
a martial planet ruled the day on which
the New Year fell. then the year would
not pass without some token of war
or strife somewhere.
If the New Year fell on Sunday, the
sun was ruler. Enthusiasm, spirit. am
bition, determination. governed the
times. Magnanimity was the prevail
ing influence of the day. Sympathy
and kindness prevailed. AS the first
day was governed, so, the astrologers
taught. would the year be. The vice
of such a year would be inordinate
speculation and too much impulsive
action.
Year Of Change if on Monday.
But if the New Year fell upon Mon
day, the tokens changed. This was the
moons day, and the changeful Luna
was ruler Now Imagination. vivid,
fervent, attractive, formed the prevail
ing influence. Fancy governed all.
The year would produce fair
amount of imaginative storytelling,
and would be one of change. The fault
of Luna's year would be undue hesita-
ton in planning, with too little ambi-
ton, too little effort to seize chances
Gambling, the vice of the Suns day and
year, would be succeeded by strong
economy and thrift.
On Tuesday once more the signs al
tered Mars was the ruler. The war
like planet governed the first day, and
so exercised an influence over the full
wear. One had to guard against quar-
rels on Mars day.
Pushfulness, force, over-keen vital
ity were the signs. Heat of temper and
of speech, tendency towards adven-
lures, too much activity, motion, de-
sire for action, were the prevailing
influences. The evil tendency was
ovver-confidence and desire to force
strife.
On Wednesday the influences became
very versatile and rapid-rapid now IN
mental action, not in physical. This
was the day ruled by Mercury, the
quick planet, the giver of intellectu-
atty. Mercury's influence was cold In
comparison with that of Mars.
