sympathetic with your heart or that Texas
is considerate of your stomach he probably
would not draw very big crowd.
"But let him stand before picture of the
Zodiac embellished with moons and stars (by
some painter who does not know any better
than to draw stars inside of crescent moons)
and tell you that Leo gives you dark eyes or
that 'Aquarius makes you honest and he soon
finds it necessary to obtain larger hall to
accommodate the crowds who are paying to
listen.
Like the early astrologer he pretends to
figure out the sign of the Zodiac in which
the sun was when you were born. This was
your natal sign, and from it your character
and personality were determined when you
were born, he tells you.
Here is the way the Zodiac has been divided
to protect your body: Aries cares for your
head and face; Taurus protects the neck and
throat; Gemini guards the arms and shoul-
ders; over the breast and stomach Cancer
Watches Leo takes care of the heart and back;
Virgo is custodian of your abdomen; Libra
guards the lumbar regions; Scorpio protects
the groin; Sagittarius stands watch over the
legs and thighs; Capricornus protects the
knees and hams, while the safety of legs and
ankles is left to AquariuS, leaving Pisces only
the feet to care for.
I" A result of the teachings of the astrol-
~ ogers, superstitious people study their
almanacs carefully to see that the signs always
are right before they undertake anything. for
they feel sure that anything undertaken when
the sign is wrong is doomed to failure. Ger
tainly no superstitious person would think of
dehorning cattle or weaving pigs when the
sign Is in the head It is much safer, they
feel, to wait until the sign is in the feet
This may sound humorous, but the world Is
full of such people.
Man, in the early times. believed the earth
was at the center of the universe and that all
heavenly bodies were created for his special
benefit. As he watched the sky night after
night he noticed seven bright objects which
daily changed their positions with reference to

Strange beliefs Of those
who regard the planets as
masters Of their destiny
and regulate their lives
according to the zodiac

"A AANY ignorant people today believe the
IVi signs of the Zodiac protect different
parts of the body. How could stars. which
are inanimate objects like tables, chairs, PEN
ellis or automobiles, at distances of hundreds
of millions of miles away have any effect on
human beings? How much interest would
section of the sky have in the welfare of people
on earth?

the fixed stars and must. therefore have been
placed in the sky for some definite purpose,
he reasoned
each of these objects, which early man
called planets, wanderers supposed to
be attached to a crystal shell, called heaven
and each of the seven heavens rotated about
the earth as a center. Since there are seven
notes in the musical scale each of these rotating
heavens was believed to give rise to different
note and the result was the music of the
spheres
\A/E FIND many references I'm poetry-and
w even in prose-to this music generated
by the seven planets, which, beginning with the
one nearest the earth. were called Moon, MeEa
curry, Venus, Sun, Mars. Jupiter and Saturn
The interest in the seven planets soon increased
to the point where man began to worship them
. as gods and actually to believe that these
celestial bodies were interested In his welfare
and that each planet in turn protected him
from the cradle to the grave. This gives rise
to the so-called Seven Ages of Man.
I'm his infancy a supposed to be
under the protection of the gentle Moon and
in childhood his guardian divinity was Mercury.
the god of mischief. During the period Of
adolescence he depended Venus, the goddess
of love, for advice and counsel, and in youth
he was protected by the Sun. Throughout his
manhood Mars, the god of war, directed his
activities. During early old age his protector
was Jupiter, while in his last years he was in
the care of Saturn, the unlucky time god, for
whatever consolation and comfort he could find.
THE astrologers were not satisfied, either,
to divide mans life into seven separate
spans. but they divided his body into seven
parts and placed one Of the planetary gods In
charge of each. The sun guarded his head,
the moon his right arm. Venus his left arm.
Jupiter his stomach, Mars his loinS, Mercury
his right leg and Saturn his left.

Are some stars kind to us and others un-
kind?
Do the planets control destiny?
Is our entire life affected by the zodiacal
constellation in which the sun happened to be
located at the time were born?
mot by all the signs of the Zodiac you can
stack on an almanac cover declares DIR. Arthur
H. Harding, doctor of philosophy and professor
of mathematics and astronomy at the Univer-
Sity of Arkansas, whose articles on everyday
astronomy are widely read throughout the
South
Such beliefs as these are foundationless super
Btitions, he says. and there are countless more
Just like them.
There is not locality in the world where
some superstition of the stars cannot be found
is his conclusion. "They have been handed
down from generation to generation. Many of
them are maintained today purposely by those
who seek to take advantage of the ignorant.
'So-called aStrolOgers and horoscope special
lists, who find willing followers ready to pay to
learn what fate the stars have in store for
them, are reaping rich profits through advan-
tageous use of these old superstitions and others
like them"
A LII of these supersttions had their origin,
DR. Harding says in the old astrology OF
the medieval ages. In their day, astrologers
were as much-if not more-in demand than
lawyers and doctors.
"And although astrology no longer is con-
sidered a science" he says cit still fingers with
the ignorant and those who want to take ad-
vantage of the greater ignorance of others.
MANY curious superstitions traced back,
too to the Zodiac The astrologers of the
Middle Ages took advantage of every oppor-
tunity to impress upon the ignorant the impor-
tance of the signs of the Zodiac and of the
heavenly bodies that move along this celestial
track.
'The aStrologers not only divided the life
span of all humans into seven ages during each
of which they were supposed to be under the
guardianship of one of the seven planets, but
they divided the human body into IL parts and
placed each part under the protection of one Of
the signs of the Zodiac.
Even in the twentieth century one often
hears the remark: The sign is in the head
What does that mean? Ask one of your friends
who plants his potatoes in the moon and knocks
on wood to avoid future mishaps He will tell
you that the sun is passing through the sign of
Aries. which protects the head and face
Does your friend believe all of this? Well,
tust try to persuade him to have tooth pulled
between March 20 and April 10. Unless the
pain is too severe he will wait about IL months
until the sign is in the feet

1t was with much regret and sor-
row in trade union circles, on Sunday
morning, that it was learned of the
sudden passing away of John G. De
Camp, during the previous night. In
apparent good health, with no thought
of the nearness of the end, and with
no warning, death coming as it did, at
1890 Sunday a. M, his family,
relatives, friends and acquaintance
were doubly shocked and grieved at
the news of the sudden passing of
Mr.. De Camp.
John G. De Camp was long men,
ber of Machinists' Local Union No.

all matters pertaining to the move

we'll known in trade union circles and
popular with all who knew him. He
was a veteran of the Spanish-Ameri-
can War. The remains lay in state at
the Soldiers and Sailors monument
Wednesday from IL a. m. until 2:30
p. M, where hundreds called to pay
their last sad respects. He was buried
in Reilly Cemetery with full military
honors.
