consider and disaster, 'saturnine,
and 'jovial' with a finer discrimina-
tion that astrology is extinct in civ
back to the vocabulary of astrology.
The book in question was, however,
not written from the standpoint Of
the twentieth century, but from that
of the scores of medical" almanacs,
published in Pekin or Bagdad, or Sc
ringapatam, but in New York City!
In Portland, Ore, college of
Astrology" has flourished for years.
Perhaps this explains why so many
astrologers are professors" The fic-
ton that atrology is extinct in civ
ilized countries is kept up by the en-
cyclopedias, which in their articles on
this art" invariably refer to the
practice of it in the past tense. Yet
of the scores if medical" almanacs,

cne that does not contain venerable

1t is true, of course, that great
many ridiculous beliefs prevalent
among us are only half-beliefs. The

tains its vitality because of the large

popular delusions.
One morning last winter, during
the sessions of the Pan-American

du, who had enjoyed the advantages
of modern education, should visit
the United States. and, on returning
to his home, should write down the
results of his observations in this
country, he would probably make such
statements as the following:
"The Americans are very super
stitious people. Nearly all of them
believe in a great variety of childish
signs and omens. One notion par
ticularly common among them is that
the number thirteen is unlucky. Tray-
elers will refuse to occupy bed
chamber numbered thirteen at no.
tel, or stateroom numbered thirteen
on a steamboat; hence thirteen is
frequently omitted in numbering such
rooms. Highly educated men and
women refuse to sit at a table at
which the number of guests is thir-
teen Fortune tellers, palmists, phren-
ologists and astrologers flourish in ev-
cry American city. The widespread
belief in astrology is especially re-
markable in a country where astron-
omy is more assiduously cultivated
than anywhere else in the world. My
educated countrymen. who have heard
of the marvellous scientific achieve
ments of the Yerkes, Lick and Mount
Wilson obseryatories, will probably
be astonshed to learn that many of
the leading American newspapers pub
lish a daily horoscope supposed to
be based upon astrological calcula-
tions, and frequently devote long ar
ticles TO particular astrological pro
phecies regarding public events.
There are also many books pub
lished in the United States every year
in which astrology is treated quite
seriously as a legitimate branch of
science"
Alas. too true, only a few months
ago a New York publishing house of
the highest standing issued book on
astrology, which was advertised in
one of our most dignified literary
magazines in the following terms:
"A book about star influence on hui
man destiny. A powerful and stimu-
lating introduction to astrology. Prao-
tical information about drawing horo-
scopes" In short, this was by no
means a book that anatomized the
ancient and picturesque superstition
of astromancy from the point Of view
of the twentieth century, as we an
atomize the history of the Olympian
gods or the folklore of the Austral-
ian aborigines. Such books have
been written, and they are decidedly
valuable. In the year 1916 a know
ledge OF astrology is a'useful accom-
plishment-not as n means of divin-
ing the future but as an aid in un'
derstanding the past. Much history
and n great deal of our finest litera-
ture are not fully ineligible without
such knowledge. Our very language

A VANISHING

THIS PEOPLE WITH No-WoHh

TOLL. MEN WANTED.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July L.
Another class is passing out Of eX-
istance. Generations TO come VIII
paze for hours at the habiliments OF
this vanishing race. Elderly ladies
will sit in the evening twilight and
tell their small grandsons and grand
daughters of the strange beings who
once approached the back doors
along in the early part of the TWEEN
tieth century and under the preteXt
of hunting wood to saw, embezzled
whole cherry pies placed on window
ledge to cool.
Genus Tramp Disappearing.
In short, the genus tramp, the in
dividual member OF which have been
known to comic suppiment readers
as Traddies, Weary Willies and the
like, Is fast disappearing from the
earth. This was the statement made
Yesterday by j. w. walden, superin-
tendent of the state free employment
bureau. Mr.. Walden says he has not
seen a real honest-to goodness tramp
for several months.
The tramp, Mr.. Walden says, has
not died off-he has simply quit the
tramping business. Other industries
have shown his that he can make
an honest living and still keep the
regard of policemen and town mar
shals. Many of them now go from
town to town when the occasion de-
mands, riding on the cushioned seats,
and being able to offer the conductor
tickets bought with honestly earned
money.
81 should say the tramp supply
has been decreased by so per cent
said Mr.. Walden. "The war has
brought about tremendous demand
for labor, both skilled and unskilled,
and the east has reached out for all
the available men. I could have
placed more than 100 men in good
paying jobs today if ! could have
found them.
This trampless condition is not
confined to Oklahoma alone. From
my correspondence with other en-
ployment agencies over the country
find they are on the point of adver-
tising for tramps so they may put
them to work.
"The best class of workingmen |
ever saw passed through Oklahoma
City this year They appear clean
and intelligent and willing to perform
an honest days work upon condition
that they get living wages.
Free Meals Not Asked.
THE most particular thing of 1t all
is | have not had an application for a
free meal within the last year. When
l came here | used to feed several
men each day, All the out-ofwork
men each day All the outof- work
orally just left jobs and have plenty
of money to tide them over until
they find new places.
"In my opinion this condition is
likely to last for all time. | think
we have seen the last of the tramp
as a species. A few stragglers are
still roaming the country. but these
will disappear soon. When the war
ends the demand for labor will be
many times greater rnan it now is,
and no man can afford to be out Of
work"

TRACTOR SHOW
TH0USANDSAT
ANNUAL EVENT
MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND
MACHINE ASSEMBLED AT DEM
ONSTRATlON GROUNDS-WORk
OF BIG TRACTORS.

Enid, Okla, July 12.-Fifteen thou
sand persons braved the 100 degrees
of heat Wednesday in the second day
of the annual southwest tractor show
and the grounds were swarming with
spectators from 8 o'clock in the morn
ing until evening.
1t was by far the greatest single
days attendance since the initiation
of the show and more than half of
last years total attenaance. At one
time there were more than 1000 au-
tomobiles on the show grounds, The
automobiles were stationed in
double line on three sides of the big
stubble field amphitheater on which
twenty tractors were engaged in their
work of turning the soil.
Demonstrators Busy.
II was the busiest day in the his
tory of the show for the tractor dem
onstrators, who were nearly forced
day ahead of schedule into an all-day
plowing exhibition.
OF the hundreds of automobiles
parked about the demonstration field,
scores bore Kansas license tags and
there were a few from Colorado and
Texas. The straw bedded road lead
ing between town and the field was a
solid procession of automobiles
throughout the day. A dozen fires
along the straw reinforced roadway
caused hurry calls to the Pyrene fire
extingusher company's tent at the
show grounds. The official Dodge
car was pressed into service and the
Pyrene men made many practical
demonstrations of the effectiveness
of their stock in eXtinguishing blazes.
Every tractor and every incidental
piece of machinery was an attraction
for crowds of spectators varying from
a dozen to several hundred. About
the big tractors, as usual, the crowds
centered, 5000 persons being group
ed about the edge of the plowed
ground at one time.
The Roger ensilage cutter, which
began operations Wednesday morning
in field of growing corn near the
show grounds had big quota of fol-
! lowers.
The Compact thresher, manufacture
ed by the Southwest Silo company,
was considerably in the limelight
throughout the day. 1t is built es-
pecially for the convenience of the
raisers of kafr corn, cane and other
small grains. The thresher is prac-
tical for use by farmers who raise
small fields of wheat.
One Accident Occurs.
Only one accident has occurred.
During a demonstration a collision
occurred between a Western tractor
| and Parrett tractor. 1t took place
as the machines were being wheeled
into line at an end of the field. An
axle on the western tractor was
! broken.
Heat prostrations have not made
their appearance. Ice water is sup
piled throughout the show grounds,
even on the tractor battle line" some
distance from the exhibition tents.
A surveying crew from the A. &
W. College worked Wednesday after
noon laying off the plots for various
tractors. to be used in the pIowing,
and seedbod preparing contest,
which will begin Thursday morning
at s o'clock and which will last ten
! hours of the day.
