THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, March 81.

Although benefic aspect dominates
tomorrow, 1t is not fortunate one
in planetary influences. according to
astrology. The sun enters Aries, with
aspects presaging three months of
sensational world events.
Aviation and wireless will assume
new importance, owing to international
matters, and wonderful inventions will
be introduced.
Censorship of the foreign press is
foretold and in consequence a great
protest is to arise.
With the rapid passing of many
who long have been national figures,
new leaders will arise, and among
them will be trained educators and
heads of big organizations.
All the signs seem to presage star
ting evolution in invention and trade.
but at the same time destructive
forces will be strong.
Persons whose birth date it is may
meet certain severe tests in the com
ing year, which should be on the
whole prosperous.
Children born on that date prob.
ably will have high ideals and often
will be disappointed, but they should
have ability to perform important
work in the world.

confession In New York City by Fred
erick Bull, jr.. that he left his loot
of an Alton. H.. train robbery there
In 1923.
Erroneous information that Bulbs
loot was obtained in mail car rob-
berry led the treasure hunters to
abandon their search and agree with
New York police that Bull was
manufacturing stories, but when
the American Express Co. verified the
robbery from Their records the search
was on again.
Considerable soil had been turned
when word came that Bull probably
concocted the story. And so the sex
ton. who had been digging here and
there" as he said, Eat likely looking
spots" ceased the efforts. Police
planned to maintain a constant guard
at the cemetery until Bulbs story
could be investigated further.
Buhl claimed he buried about $4,000
near a cemetery entrance slab. and
that a fellow robber buried $4,000
In another part of the cemetery. Con-
siderable landscaping and changing OF
the cemetery has taken place since
the burial" and those associated with
the cemetery said they doubted If
Buhl himself could locate the money.

FOX-HUNTING IN BRITAIN
MENACED BY FARM HANDS
Illicit Business in Reynard's Pelts
Threatens Extinction of Animals.
Prevention Plans Discussed.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 19.-FoX hunting
in England. which dates back many
centuries, is threatened by the activ-
ity of farm laborers who have been
carrying on an illicit business in Rey-
nard's skin.
The hide, worth more than a million
pounds sterling to the fox himself
while it stays upon his back, is worth
but IL to 10 shillings when peeled off
his original owner and is passed on
to the London furriers.
At farmers meeting here the
Duke of Beaufort, whose estate covers
So 900 acres, discussed the possibil.
tiles of the fox becoming extinct If
farm hands were allowed to shoot the
quarry which takes such leading
part in the hunting parties of the
aristocracy.
The duke complained because of the
increasing value of fox skins on the
market, saying the practice had al
ready proved a danger to the sport.
He urged the farmers cooperation to
discourage fox shooting so that fox
hunting with hounds and horses would
continue to thrive.

confidence won by other than political
activities.
However. all politicians who have
not already arrived at prominence
hate the idea, and so. since they
constitute the body of political life,
there is not the slightest chance of
its ever becoming, except perhaps
in name and with essential mutila-
tions, the electoral method of any
modern state. 1t can be left out of
this present discussion. therefore.
and so also can projects for a special
economic parliament of trade union
lists and employers and such like
collateral developments. Or for cleo
tions by suddenly and fortuitously
appointed jurymen instead OF by
entire constituencies. Such things
can be attained only through political
bodies. and though the politician of
the existing type can do little or
nothing with things when he has
them in his hands. he is far too
human to let them go out of his
hands and legislate himself out of
existence in favor of a different kind
of ruler altogether, which is the ad-
mitted purpose Of these novelties.
None OF such schemes for making
democracy more effective or more
truly representative really touch the
essential weakness of democracy.
which Is that the great 'mass of
human beings are not sufficiently
intelligent nor sufficiently interested
to follow political issues at all. The
representative body represents, for
nine out Of 10 of it's voters, a vacant
mind. At an election the sovereign
people is reused to a temporary sport
Ing interest and votes according to
panic or prejudice. 1t does not even
vote according to its interests, be-
cause the ordinary citizen leads so
narrow, limited and purblnd a life
that he is unable to see even in such
matters as sound money or war, how
politics may come home to him.
Every extension of the suffrage in
Great Britain has brought in more
masses of utterly Indifferent people
to vote. Half century ago, when
was a child, the chief English news
papers gave almost verbatim reports
of parliamentary debates and political
speeches. Such a newspaper would
not sell a hundred thousand copies
today. Now, when every one has a
vote, II is almost impossible to tell
from the papers every one reads
whether Parliament is in session.
The more democratic" democracy has
become the more complete has become
it's disregard of public affairs.

Outside of America extraordinarily
few people still believe in political
democracy at all. except as a make
shift to stand in the way of worse

that democracy might be preserved
as a vastly different and more efficient
method of government il election by
proportional representation, with the
single transferable vote in large con-
stituencies returning many representa-
tives, could be substituted for the pres
ent bilateral system. Such system,
associated with very much smaller
parliamentary bodies, would in prac-
tice wipe out the party system, de-

MODEL FARM PROGRAM
IN SOUTH SUGGESTED
Community System Recommended
to Reclamation Conference by
DIR. Mead, Head of Bureau.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation authorizing the Interior
Department to direct and plan the set
Element and management OF model
farm communities to be established in
the South was recommended by DR..
Elwood Mead, commissioner of the
Bureau of Reclamation. to the South
ern reclamation conference today.
Leading educator and farm demon.
stration workers in the South attended
the conference. An intensive STUDY
of seven tracts already established IN
North Carolina, South Carolina. Geor,
gia. Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
will occupy the greater part OF the
woday program.
The movement seeks to restore to the
South the kind of agriculture and
rural life it enjoyed before the Civil
War, DR.. Mead said. Each State will
be asked to name locations having
land enough to provide homes for 200
or more families. using worn-out or
unreclaimed land wherever possible.
In order to secure money and enlist
in the movement the kind of ability
required DIR. Mead recommended that
Congress should not alone authorize
the Interior Department to take a
directing hand. but should appropri.
ate money needed to pay supervisional
expense
