HOROSCOPE
rhe stars incline, but do not compelg
SATURDAY. JAN. s.


Mercury dominates today in planetary
rule, according to astrology. The planet
is in a strongly benefic aspect.
The sway is read as presaging tre-
mendous business for publishers, whether
they produce books, periodicals or news
papers. New minds viii contribute to a
year OF supreme prosperity.
Contracts entered into during this di-
rection of the stars should be fortunate
to all concerned, if they are completed
today.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is should
avoid all business ventures. Attention to
business will pay well.
Children born on this day may be
clever and resourceful. These subjects
of Capricorn usually make success with
great rapidity, and are popular with the
opposite sex, although not necessarily
successful Ia marriage.

- the story was told in "A legend
handed down among the Maoris, its orig
inal settlers, for hundreds Of years II
begins with the dream Of a medicine man
who. weary OF the unending war between
the tribes of the islands of the South
Seas. hid himself in the forest with
view to thinking out some way OF stop
ping the rapid decline of his people in
numbers.
When he emerged several days later
and called for a gathering Of the entire
tribe, a new light was shining in bis
eyes. He had passed through a won
derful dream. he said. Maru, the god OF
the Maoris, had shown him far to the
south a new land, as yet uninhablted'
and had bade him lead his tribe TO It,.
There. he had been old. food lay in abun-
dance: peace would descend upon the
Maoris and they would be free to live
their lives as they wished, without the
need of being continually on guard
against enemies.
But. he warned them, this paradise
was not to be attained without hard-
ships. There would he times when they
would be discoura ged. when their spirit
would falter. when they would curse the
man who had started them on their Jour
rey, when even their faith in Maru might
waver. But said the medicine man. If
tbeys persisted. eventually they would
reach the promised land.
Thus it happened that one day, long
time after a hinge fleet Of canoes put
of from the island upon which the Ma
oris lived and in the canoe was every
member OF the tribe and everything that
they possessed. By day they took their
position from the sun, by night the
prows Of their canoes We're pointed at

by the realty. Food got low, strength
waned ambition was lost and the ca
noes drifted, their occupants no longer
able to WELD the rude oars. But their
faith was not lost and ever the steersmen
kept the prows pointed to the south.
Days followed nights and nights fol-
lowed days and all around them they
saw nothing but the broad expanse OF
the ocean. Days in which the sun poured
down It's anguishing rays upon their ma
ked bodies were followed by days when

and many Of them died. But ever they
kept headed toward the south.
Came at last a day when the fog lifted
suddenly and before them lay land. But

LUNGS GIVE PROOF OF LIFE
Evidence That Baby Was Born Alive
or Dead Is Said to BE
InfaIIihIe.

1t is sometimes necessary to as
certain whether dead baby was
born alive or not, for the inheritance
Of q fortune or an estate may de-
pend upon it. There are several
tests, but the one that is crucial is
what is known as the hydrostatic.
This is based upon the fact that
lungs which have never breathed
will sink in water, while those that
have taken single breath will float.
To make this test the lungs must
be removed with the heart attached.
They are then placed in pure wa
ter at the temperature Of the air.
Next they are separated from the
heart, weighed and replaced in t6a-
water. After being pressed with the
hand they are again tested in the
water. Each lung is now cut to
pieces and tested again. The pieces
are then squeezed as dry as possible
and thrown back into the water. If
each piece floats after the most Wig
orous compression the child has
breathed perfectly.

Rate Of Increase in Farm Tenants
Falls

Out Of every 1000 farmers in
the United States there were
381 tenants in 1920. In 1910
the number of tenants per 1000
farmers was $40; in 1900 it was
1853; in 1890 the figure had fallen
to 284; and in 1880 it was noted
to be 236. The increase since
1880 has been 81 per cent. To
this incease in tenant farming
the decade ending in 1890 con-
tributed oven one third; the
decade ending in 1900 nearly
one-half, the decade ending in
1910 less than one eighth; while
the decade just closing contri-
buted only cne-thirteenth.
Though the tide of tenancy
stands higher to-day than at any
other time in American history
there is apparent a very marked
falling off in the rate Of increase.
