LISTEN, WORLD
Bv Elsie Robinson

EN- AND YOUR NERVE is
GONE, DO THE NEXT THING.
Do not try to- discover an act
or formulate a new attltuoe
which will make you Wnole
again by one transaction.
JUST DO THE JOBS WHICH
LIE IMMEDIATELY BEFOHE
YOU.
Usually the "next thing" Is a
very simple thing. Making q
pot of coffee, buying new skid
chains. Tidying your bureau
drawers. Sending suit to the
cleaners, writing to Bill about
that real estate deal.
All of these things are next
things" They do not require
much thought or effort.
They can be performed even
though your world is shattered.
They are almost automatic acts
and they seem utterly unre"
lated to your great tragedy.
But. they are not unrelated.
They have the most lntlmaOe
relationship.
They are vital parts of the
healing process for they are
vital parts of life. They are
the stuff of which new life IS
made. .,'''
Life isn't made of huge de-
cisions, tremendous campaigns
vast changes in attitude.
Life grows out of small acts:
the steady, resolute doing OF
commonplace next things"
each one trivial in itself, but
absolutely essential to the
whole plan. Just as each tiny
root is essential to the life OF
the plant.
These small acts are your
roots-the graphing tendrilS by
which your broken spirit Will
sink itself once more into the
soil of experience and by which
it will be nourished.
If your life has been broken
that is the way to mend 1t.
That is the ONLY WAY TO
MEND 1T. DO THE NEXT
THING. Then the next. And the
next.
There will be no joy in the
doing at first.
You will feel no quickening,
no immediate easing of the pain,
but gradually your life will
mend.
New strength will come. You
will grow steadier-Steadier.
And presently those who look
upon you will never suspect
that you were once broken of
at the roots.
I know. For I mended my
life that way.

human Side of theNews - By Edwin G. + I'LL

The signs, which in turn, are
applied to parts of the human
body are: Aries the ram;
Taurus the bull; Gemini the
twins; Cancer the crab; Leo
the lion; Virgo the virgin;
Libra the balance; Scorpio the
scorpion; Sagittarius the archer;
Capricornus the great; Aquarius
the water carrier, and Pisces
the fishes.
The expression "born under
lucky star" is a product OF
astrology and the date, hour,
and minute of ones coming into
the world is most important
when one is concerned about a
horoscope.
For example, if you were born
at midnight on September 20,
1893, and Mercury was in Scor-
pho and other signs in some re-
lation' to the remainder OF the
planets, then medicine should
have been your life work IN
stead of the manufacture of
sausage.
Astronomers are won't to point
out to astrologers that the stars
are not at all as they were in
the days of the Babylonlans'
and that the consultations
make a complete circle OF the
zodiac every $4,000 years.
DR.. Dirk Brouwer of Yale, in
a lecture on the subject, men
toned this inaccuracy of the
astrological tables:
"Signs of the zodiac and a
scattering use of the names Of
planets and astronomical words
still impress people more than
the development in the field of
relatively" he said. "AstrOlOgers
take some specific instance, or
several instances of events
which have occurred when the
stars were in a certain position.
They then generalize on this
basis.
ut would be just as inaccurate
to try to reach a conclusion on
statistics by using only a part
of the figures, except that the
figures used would, at least,
