SUPERSTITIONS
c!l MOON ARE
ALL DISPROvED
Many Survive Despite Alb.
solute Proof of
FallaCy.
BY DAVID DIETZ
scripps- Howard Science Editor

Lunar superstitions-Stil believed
today in some quarters-connect
the phases Of the moon with the
weather. with the growth Of crops.
with good and bad fortune and with
good and bad health.
Needless TO say, none Of these
superstitions have any basis in fact.
Yet many Of them survive.
A common superstition about
the moon which illustrates why such
beliefs survive is the one which
holds that the full moon drives the
clouds out of the sky.
Now an examination Of weather
records will show that it is cloudy
at the time OF full moon just as
often as II is clear.
Superstition Is Foolish
But the point is that most people
pay little attention to the phases
of the moon and hence only realize
that the moon is full when they see
the full moon in the sky.
When the moon is full and the sky
is clear they see the moon. When
the moon is full and the sky is
cloudy they do not see the moon
and. consequently, do not realize
that the moon is full. Hence the
superstition persists that the full
moon drives the clouds out of the
sky.
A little thought will serve to show
how foolish the superstition is. The
moon is 240 900 miles away. Clouds
are in our own atmosphere. More
over. on any given night. it will be
clear in some localities and cloudy
in others. The moon can not be re-
sponsible for both conditions.
Consulted for Crops
A generation or so ago il was
common in rural communities to
consult the almanac before planting
crops. The phases Of the moon
were believed to have great influ-
ence upon their growth.
An old English writer advises Gin
his original spelling):
"Sowe peason and beanes, in the
wane of the income.
Who soweth them sooner. he
soweth too soone,
That they with the planet may rest
and arise,
And flourish, with bearing most
plentiful wise"
AS these lines indicate. lunar
superstitions are very old. Plutarch
writes:
The moon showeth her power
most evidently even in those bodies,
which have neither sense nor lively
breath; for carpenters reject the
timbers of trees fallen in the full
moon. as being soft and tender, sub
lect also 70 the worm and putrefact-
ton. and that quickly. by reason OF
excessive moisture; husbandmen,
likewise. make haste to gather up
their wheat and other grain from
the thrashing floor in the wane of
the moon and toward the end Of the
month
Another old poem states:
when the moon is at the full,
Mushrooms you may freely pull;
But when the moon is on the wane,
Wait ere YOU thin to pluck again
II would seem, however, that the
ability TO tell a mushroom from
toadstool would be more important
in picking mushrooms.

The Learn to Swim" campaign OF

dorsement of A. Earle Weeks, vice
president Of the District Of Columbia
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union and chairman of its swimming
committee
In letter to Ralph w. Foster, direc-
tor of physical education of the Y. M
c. A. and leader of the campaign, MIR.
Weeks said:
1.-The value of such a campaign can
not be estimated. AS the hot days OF
Summer come on, with the youth OF the
city out of school, the water holds a
storehouse of pleasure for those able
to enjoy 1t without fear.
ITO be able to swim and handle one
self in the water. the natural fear OF
water is replaced with keenness OF
enjoyment that is unsurpassed in the
other lines of recreation. An invigor-
ating swim in water fit to drink is a
boon to that jaded and used-up feel
ing that comes at the end of the days
labors.
1.-The well-regulated pools in and
around Washington, offering desirable
places for safe swimming, are equipped
with modern sanitation systems.
In taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered by The Star and the
Y. M. C. A. one is not only learning to
swim, but he will find himself ready
to take advantage of those pleasures
which are found in and around water,

MED him such a healthful form Of

The work proceeded near the main
gate of the town Nebuchadnezzar is
known to have attacked with fire. In
