THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, December 81.

Caution should be the keynote of
tomorrow's activities, according to as
trology, which reads in the horoscope
certain sinister influences.
There is forbidding aspect for
professional occupations. Under this
rule there may be tendency to see
the dark side Of things.
The morning should be fairly IA
vorable to the transaction Of impor-
Germs the settlement Of the years
accounts.
It is a day in which to pay atten-
ton to well established routine rather
than new plans.
Women should find the rule auspi-
cious for shopping, although they may
be inclined to buy too hastily, since
the aspects tend to poor Judgment in
most matters.
It is not lucky day for love af-
fairs, although the stars will incline
young men to WOO.
Dancing and dining are well direct
ed, so far as meetings with strangers
are concerned.
Girls may be sure of making a good
impression while this rule prevails,
for the masculine mind will be wor-
shipful rather than critical.
Educational interests should benefit
at this time, when there will be
forwarding of high ideals.
It is well for college students to
prove the good effects of university
life at this time, when large endow-
ments easily may be obtained.
The evening should be favorable fol-
entertaining friends or for most forms
of hospitality.
There is sign Of promise to the
aged, who should be stimulated and
cheered by the subtle influence Of the
stars.
Under this sway the things Of the
spirit have special power, and for this
reason the churches should benefit.
Persons whose birth date it Is may
expect good luck in the coming year
which may bring legacies or benefits
of a substantial nature.
Children born on that day have
chances above the average for happy
life, filled with friendship and activity

Everyday Psychology
Are There Any Snirits2
By DIR. JESSE W. spRowLs.

The professional mediums who get
zen rapport" with the spirit world have
at times experienced some dificulty in
convincing others that there is a land
Of spirits, kingdom of ghosts, a Styg-
ian realm whence there emerges an oc-
casional restless soul. Do spirits actu-
ally walk among men and seek commu-
nication with them?
Why this skepticism and incredulity?
Are some people constitutionally incom-
municado? Or are there after all no
spirits with which to communicate?
These two questions really should have
been settled long ago, for the phe-
nomena OF SpiritiSm ranks among the
oldest Of psychological problems. There
should by now have accumulated
enough evidence Of an indubitable sort
to end disputes forever.
The personal testimony and hearSay
evidence Of the spiritualists have failed
to convince scientific skepticS.
While most people have no particu-
lar desire to associate with a ghost,
they wouldn't mind seeing one, espe-
cially if it were presented under rea-
Sonably safe conditions. Seeing Is be-
lievingI
But, say the mediums, ghosts are in
visible. Nevertheless, they are SUBJ
Stantial enough to leave their shadows
on the sensitive plate of a camera So
Photographic mediumship has lately
become a new art. Believe it if you
can-something that cannot be seen
may be photographed.
But why marvel at that? The me-
diuns argue: Do not invisible waves OF
ether make the radio possible? Why
isn't 1t possible for ghost to have an
astral entity" that is capable of being
photographed?
/ But that doesn't settle the question
according to the skeptlcs. Any one
can, with a little practice, perform the
trick of producing what passes for a
photograph of spirit. This fraud, the
latest method of duping the dupable
has been exposed. Up to the presen:
time, so far as scientific evidence goes
there are no spirits.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

maintain friendships, is of the greatest
Importance to the child'S mental and
physical wellbeing. Some mistakes will
be made in choosing these friends, but
If parents are wise no direct attack vii
ever be made on the choice. All friends
are to be welcomed and entertained to
the schedule. If the chosen one Is not
/ the right one, the atmosphere and the
resulting unsatisfying experiences will
soon adjust the situation.
For the older children, those in junior
high school or high school, there should
be one evening set apart for entertain
ing company. The children are to
understand that they are always at
home that evening, that they have a
share in the entertaining If it be but
listening share. Sometimes the guests
are to be grownups who are good for the
, children to know. At other times they
are to be children Of their own age,
friends and acquaintanceS closely asso-
ciated with them in school or society.
Make these company days as educa-
tive as possible. Let the children help
| in the preparation. Give them a share
In receiving and entertaining the guests.
Experiences like these will make It pos
sible for the children to meet people
easily, to get on with people. Nobody
can justly say of them, as is often said
of children today: "They don't know
how to stand, how to sit, how to talk,
how to enter or leave a room, how to
! behave themselves at table or in a
room with other people. They are i'm
| possible socially"
Socially is the only way we live.

SHARkEY REFUSES
 ID FIGHT RISK0
Will Meet No One But Gene
 Iunney or Jack Dempsey

Boston. Jan. "4 LP--Jack Shar- key will box Gene Tunncy or Jack Dempsey but no one else. it was an nounced this morning after a six hour conference between Sharkey $ manager. Johnny Buckley and Jess McMahon, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, in which all offer to match the Boston sailor with John ny Eisko. Cleveland heavyweight. was definitely turned down.
 Buckley told McMahon that his man was through with eliminations of the type of the proposed Risko bout and in addition rejected the possibility of a fight with Jack De- lanny. The bout with Risko was to have been staged in New York on March l..
 McMahon ai once dispatched a telegram to Tex Rickard informing him Of Sharkeys demand and plan ned 10 remain h-re for several hours 10 learn Richards reaction to the news. iickard is on vacation in the south.
 In a statement to the Associated Press. Buckley declared that since Tunney had been reported anxious to defend his title twice next sum- mer Sharkey was willing to take hiE on in June. leaving a Sertem- Der date to Dem-Sey.
 Jack wants 10 meet Gene first of all but if that is impossible he is ready to meet Dempsey in June or any time but he is not going to go over the ground he has already covered.
 "rwenty-two out of .4 sporting writers gave Sharkey the decision in his draw" with Heeney and there is no question but that Jack is the logical contender.
 "Eisko is out and so is Jack De- laney. Risko beat Delaney and so did Maloney while Delane has re- fused to box Eisko at l5 rounds in New York state.
 I've don't consider Delaney of any consequence. He has been meeting a lot of has beens and set ups and l wouldn't be surprised to hear that he had been matched to meet his own grandfather.
 Dempsey and Tunney say they are willing to fight. Well. Jack Sharkey is willing to accommodate them"
 Jim Johnston of New York, one Of Sharkey's seconds, and an ad- wiser to Buckley, sat in at the con- ference with McMGhon.

DELANEY HURLS DIET AT TUNNEY
Bridgeporter Wants First to Beat
 Tom Heeney in Bout

New York. Jan. Fl R-1he heavyweight plot aimed at Gene Tunney's crown has thickened over night with a possibility of three champions at large in the event the present titleholder is not signed for the defense of his treasure by early summer.
 Matching Jack Sharkey's chal- lenge with the New York state athle- tic commission, Jack Delaney has issued a like def at Tunney through the National Boxing association which has membership in 26 states.
 Delaney's challenge. however, ac- cording to his manager, Joe Jacobs. will be effective only on condition that Delaney knocks out Tom Heeney during their 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden on March l.
 According to the workings of the New York state athletic commission, champions arc required to fight at least once every six months and Tunney's period of idleness closes in March.
 This is the first time the National EoSing association has stepped into th" af2irs Of the heavyweights. Tho hody has accepted Dclaney's chal- lcng2, Jacobs said
 Jacobs stated he would confer Aith Tom Donahue. president of the \. F. A.. within few days in re- spect to the time limit which would be imposed on Tunney to accept De- laney as q challenger in case the "ridgepoEer sends Heeney down for the count
 Incidentally. Delaney's challenge with the N. F. A. is regarded as fav- orable to the interests of Promoter Tex Rickard. Previously Sharkey's challenge with the New York solons would compel Rickard to respect the rulings of the Empire State body. Now, if Eickard should find it to his advantage to shift his heavyweight stage to another state, he could call on Delaney.
 In spite Of the cIamoring by Hrency's handlers that Delaney is running a risk oc in.uring his hands by his light week" program, Jacobs asserted the Bridgeporter would continue with the competition and announced two more bouts for Delaney in addition to his tilt with Battling Levinsky at Pittsburgh on February 6. Delaney will tackle Leo Gates in Rochester on February 13 and Jack McAuliffe, II. of Detroit in New Haven on Tepruary 20.
