New Years horoscope. however, be-
sides politics. There is much specu-
lation in lands or building, for eX-
ample. with some scandal or fraud
exposed. Places of amusement will
be under an evil sway this spring
and for most of the summer. There
will be at least, one serious accident
In a theater, public hall or grand
stand. This seems due in July or
early in August. At about this same
time well known actor or sporting
leader will die suddenly, and possibly
in this catastrophe. And in eonnec-
tion with this, let me say that if
Jack Dempsey fights Firpo July 4
next, place your money on the Argen-
tinian. Our national hero is due for
sop1e hefty bumps at that time.

THERE is also a serious accident
during the summer in connection
with modes of travel. This may be a
train or boat wreck. but am inclined
to place it in aerial travel, and build.
ers of the new type of aicraft should
be extra careful for July and August,
1924. These violent incidents all come
about under the influence of the fiery
planet Mars and individuals ruled
by this start should try TO be eau
tious about taking up any hazardous
sport or journey.
Earthquakes have also been pre-
dicted for the summer by many
astrologerS. OF course. this is an
easy prediction TO make, because il is
a rare month when the earth does not.
wiggle some portion of its surface,
However, 1924 has more than the
average number of eclipses, and while
as yet we cannot say definitely why
1t is that an eclipse should have any
connection with an earthquake, still
the fact remains that when an un-
usual number of earthquakes occurs
IN any year that same year will be
found to have an unusual number of
eclipses.
There are two belts liable to tre-
mors in the United States for this
year. The first is the 93d degree of
west longitude. which takes in the
states on the west bank of the Mis-
sissippi river, while the second is the
124th degree. of west Longitude, which
includes the northern coast of Cali
fornia and is close enough to San
Francisco to affect that city.
As quakes are rare along the Mis-
sissippi. 1 believe that the trouble in
that region will be mining disasters
or accidents in excavations rather
that actual earthquakes. But Cali
fornia is sensitive region at best
and laboring as it is under really
marked indications of such trouble,
will probably experience a shock in
the early fall. We have been under
combination of influences apt to
produce serious earth troubles ever
since 1921. and several predictions
of the shock In Japan We're on record.
The horoscope for New York is. not
indicative of anything as distant as
this. but. generally speaking, there
will be need of relief for several
parts Of the country this year.
The 4Sth degree of east. longitude
is also due for either earthquake or
severe affiiction by fire or famine.
This includes the countries in Asia
Minor and the borders of the Caspian
sea

Because of this, the elder says, it
| has been deemed best to close six of
the seven colonies which remain
from the so which at one time

ed States, and gather all the remain
ing members of this wealthy sect at

The Florida community, which is in

tains but few persons, but the prop
erty is well cared for by the diligence
labors of the limited number.
There are 6434 acres in the holding
of the Shakers in this county and
there is no doubt the entire acreage
can be sold. For many years at
tempts have been made by private in
dividuals to buy certain tracts es-
pecially good. but Brother Ezra Stew
art. who is at the head of the small
colony. has steadfastly refused to
cut up the holdings.
The parent colony" was establish
ed by the founder of the sect. Ann
Lee. in 1877. at Mt Lebanon, and the
second colony was at Westervliet,
n. Y. near Albany.
These two. with the colonies at
Canterbury, n. H.. and Alfred and
Sabbath Lake. in Maine. show more
activity than the one in this, Osceola
County. The one at South Union,
Ky, which was a magnificent planta-
ton of Alb acres. valued at more
than s250,000, has been sold in small
tracts.
OF the membership at that place,
but two returned to continue in the
faith. The remaining five received a
large allotment of the funds of the
association and were allowed to re-
, turn to their former life.
Possibly when the sale Of colony
property in OSceola County is made
there will be some members who will
prefer to return to the life which
they renowned years ago. when thew
left the outer world and united with
the brotherhood.
The Shakers are noted for their
excellence in every wav. They are
gentle, free from malice. celibate.
which is one of the leading tenets Of
their order: accent all things without
question or bubble and bear misfor-
tunes with resignation. in the belief
that everything from nature is sent
by the Divine Being. They interfere
with none and hold only that which Is
legally and morally theirs.

IT is more the fault of tho public

is not used universally is besausa OF
its high price for wholesale heating.
There will he no coal trucks on our
streets or smoke or ashes or such
needless fuel waste when tho PEOPLE
finally understand the true situation
with respect to fuel. and commence
to buy heat units instead of tons of
coal and cubic feet of gas. We will
enter a new day in the utilization Of
heat energy when we eliminate the
useless standards and restrictions

produce a certain kind of fuel irstead
of making the kind and quality OF
gas that will produce the most i'eat
units for the least money fiorn the
materials available. In one COM
munity the most efficient practice
may be one that will produce = gas
having only 300 heat units IN it per
cubic foot. In another section the
materials and conditions may be
such that the most economical gas
will be one having, say, 400 Or may
be 500 heat units per foot the type

1t was very difficult for represent
atlves of most foreign Powers to get
into Anatolia and for those who were
there to get out. l found, however,
that travellers from Soviet Russia, as
citizens of friendly nation, were
freely admitted. / often saw little
groups of them on the street, and one
day / went to call at the Embassy
maintained by the Russians. 1t was
an unprctcntiOus building situated
on one of the quiet side streets, with
only it's red banner and official coat
of arms to distinguish it from the
ncighboring houses. Save for fam
ing banners and placards, the in
terror was no sign of business. The
Bolslfvist Councillor assured me
that the Ambassador had not come
TO AnGora for the purpose of prop
aGating SOvietism among the Turks
The Turks, he said. were not ripe for
Communism. Russia gave them her
sympathy and support because she
believed the Treaty of Sevres unjust
and she wished to see Turkey rid of
her invaders and out of the clutches
of the Allies.
/ found no evidence of inclination
to Bolshevism during my visit to
Hidtolld. Inc religion ana social
traditions of the people could not
lead them to Bolshevism, and the
government had plainly stated that it
would not welcome. even from
friendly state, any suggestion as to
the internal policy OF the nation.
Refet Pasha declared to me that the
Turkish people would not turn to
BolsheviSm unless forced to do so by
the violence of the western world and
by injustice that would rob them of
their country. The treaty made with
the Russians in the spring of 1921
signified only that the Nationalist
wanted a friendly power at their
backs, while they engaged with the
Greeks. Through the assistance of
the Russians, they were able to Sc
cure war supplies. of which they
stood much in need.
Yussuf Renal Bey, minister Of
foreign affairs; who negotiated the
treaty, told me that the report that
it had granted the Russian priority
rights with regard to economic con-
cessiOns in Turkey was entirely
without foundation.-F m "T h e
