The Higher Toolishness.

There has recently appeared an inter-
csting book with a title that is sure to
attract attention. 1t Is called The
Higher Foolishness," and Its author is
both a wise and distinguished man
David Starr Jordan. a BIOLOGIST by pro-
fession. the retired president Of Stanford
University, and a worker in the cause Of
peace. He has brought together many
examples OF strange notions that are
held by strange minds and ordinary
ones. too.
Many OF these higher foolish ideas
have to do with things OF the mind.
There is the belief that mind can act
directly on mind and that some persons
are possessed OF strange powers 10 fore
see the future or have premonitions
that come true. There are the many
weird systems for curing diseases
strange notions as to how the world Is
built and Is TO be reformed. Some OF
these ideas arc allied to superstitions or
the outgrown beliefs OF the past. but
most OF them are ambitious attempts 10
read the secret OF the universe and pro-
vide greater satisfaction than the SLOW
methods of science afford.
The name tor 1t all is very simple.
for it is wish thinking" We have an
old saving that sums Ii all up The
wish Is father 10 the thought" and
men have always been strongly tempted
TO believe as true what they SO strongly
wish. Wish thinking goes beyond this,

personally because each Is so interested

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, January 10.

Until late in the day, the planetary
government Is adverse to most human
activities. according TO astrologers, who
caution folks TO beware of ill-considered
plans.
The rule is especially favorable to
women. who should make the most of
every opportunity while this confgura-
ton prevails.
Music and arts come under rule
promising TO all who love the finer
things of life.
American singers who attain foremost
rank are to multiply. and a young
prima donna will make a spectacular
success before the end OF the year, as
trologers prophesy.
Tomorrow is not an encouraging day
for those who desire TO adjust profits
and losses.
It is well 10 defer visits to banks and
bankers until more promising confg-
uration prevails.
This Is not a favorable rule for bor-
rowing money, and important confer
ences with financiers should be post
poned.
In the evening there may be disturb
Ing planetary influences that cause n.y.

The young come under a direction OF
the stars that should be favorable TO .
better understanding OF their point OF
view. as well as to an improvement OF
their behavior.
Strained relations with France. Rus
