If you did not know that the Tough
| Club over In Greenwich Village stood for
something else than what might be imag-
incd from It's name perhaps you would
think the club Christmas party for 600
kids from the tenements and tumbledowns
in those crooked streets and alleys might
have developed into an impromptu setto
among future Hudson busters and such,
hut you would be wrong.
Besides. Otto, who stood at the top OF
the lower stairs for an hour directing the

BLOW AT ASTROLOGY
BY WEATHER BUREAU
All the Little Sayings" Current
Among Forefathers Given
Rude Jolt.

Poor old George W. Superstition has
suffered again at the hands Of merciless
science. This time 1t was q bout between
the weather bureau and Georges darling
child. who is named Astrology. and
Astrology, after putting up miserable
exhibition, was foored and carried out
The results are published in a bulletin
issued by the Department Of Agriculture.
1t seems that Astrology has been going
around for a long time masking as a
friend of the farmer. A congressman
seeking reelection didn't have a thing
on Astrology when 1t came to aiding
the tiller Of the soil. One relied on him
and knew exactly how to live long and
prosper.
People built up little sayings around
Astrology.
DO work above ground in the light Of
the moon and work below ground in the
dark Of the moon"
"Cut your hair during the new moon. -
"A ring around the moon is sign of
cold weather" Cor warm weather, 1t all
depending on how the tradition was
handed DOWN.
What Forebears Gould Foretell.
Those are only few that our fore
fathers cherished. They could tell exact
ly what effect certain star would have
upon prominent young hog who was
soon to give up his life for his country.
They knew that If that star wasn't IN
the right position the execution Of the
hog would be failure, and they waited
until the star had moved around before
commencing pleasantries.
There were old ladies in certain COM
munities who made a fortune by guess
ing right after they had given the moon
and her satellites the once over. And II
they guessed wrong people didn't murder
them. They blamed the weather, which
refused to run on schedule.
When the weather bureau came into
being Astrology exhibited signs Of ner-
vousness. Even in the roaring laughter
of Astrology's believers when the
weather bureau missed a prediction
which was pretty often in the early
days-there was a well defined appre-
hension. Years went by and Astrology
continued to jibe at the weather bureau
So finally the weather bureau put on
its warpaint and began calm. unemo-
tional investigation.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-06-19

but there II still another and an entire
ly different method OF testing the whole
question. We can observe the positions Of
the planets and the kind Of weather dur
ing each position and see whether the
same sort Of weather always comes when
the planets are in the same position.
This kind Of examination has often been
made. both for the planets and for the
moon, but not the slightest influence of
either upon our weather has ever been
found.
ITO sum up: We have every reason to
believe that neither the planets nor the
moon can have any appreciate effect on
the weather, because they furnish SO little
heat upon which all weather changes ul-
timateiy depend. and this belief Is fully
supported by weather records.
The belief. still to be found In all
countries. that the planets and the moon
do AFFECT the weather never had any
scientific basis whatever; it is only a
remnant OF the many superstitions gen.
Grated and fostered by that other and
greater superstition. astrology.'

Sounds Death Knell.

Harken to the death knell of Astrology.
The weather bureau is speaking:
Nov, according to accurate measure
ments made with the most delicate instru-
ments, the amount Of heat sent to the
earth by all the planets and also by the
moon is Insignificant in comparison to
the amount that comes from the sun.
Hence we could not expect either the
planets or the moon appreciably to affect
the weather. They do not supply enough
heat, the one thing that causes all our
weather changes.
ITO most people the above reasoning
may seem quite sufficient and conclusive.

Wealthy. An excellent fall variety
