SUNDAY, JANUARY IT, 1937
 Again the stars seem to smile upor the planet Earth. This is day ir which serenity and quiet will be helpful to many, especially to states men who are to face supreme tests in all parts of the world
 This is a most favorable rule under which to write. It should be help ful to newspaper correspondents who will have many secret interna- |sicnal matters to interpret.
 Mars. continues in threatening a 3ect which will affect persons of 'cIl classes. Domestic misunder- standings multiply under this plan etary direction.
 The stars favor persons in high places although their motives and policies are likely to be misunder- stood. The seers prophecy tenden- cics to centralize power.
 There is a sign that is read as stimulating ambition among leaders. Peoples of many nations will make demonstrations of support for mon archs CT dictators.
 Labor organizations are to gain greatly in coming months, especial ly in England where leader will win the favor of the King. Efforts toward political party promotion in the United States will be slow in progress.
 Great anxieties will affect the health of the Pope and other church dignitaries. The Pope should guard against high blood pressure and a pissible sudden attack.
 Again astrologers warn that an unusually large number of fires and explosions will occur all through the winter. Accidents will be many and loss of life heavy
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of great pros perity New channels of business and income are foretold
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly brilliant Of mind and active of body Subjects of this sign have varied talents and an unsuitable curiosity regarding life.
 A. B. Frost, illustrator, was born on this day 1851. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Benjamin Franklin, scientist and philosopher, 1T06; Count Vittorio AL fieri, Italian dramatic poet, 1749.

Lese Majeste (Nine of Them)

Philadelphia Record)
 The London Times recently said that the Throne must be kept high above public reproach or rdicue and that is incomparably more important than the individual who fills it.
 Our conservative press seems to take the same attitude toward our uncrowned kings the nine gentlemen of the Supreme Court. Witness the blanket of silence with which the conservative press seeks to smother Drew Pearson's and Robert S. Aliens bril- liant The Nine Old Men"
 Had Pearson and Allen written another dull tome about the Court that no one would read and no one could understand if they did it would have been received with applause and treated with respect.
 But the crime of Pearson and Alen-and it is a crime in conservative eyes-is that they refused to believe that black robes make gods of men. They treat the nine Justices human beings They dis cuss their personal backgrounds and their personal prejudices They treat with gay and youthful irrey- erence the inner history of the New Deal cases
 Let the pundits complain that this is mere gossip. It is engaging gossip, but it is more than that For the personal backgrounds and prejudices the Justices play far greater role in their decjs ions than theoretical principles of constitutional law by which these personal prejudices dsgused as impartial rulings from legal Sinai
 The Court has become the great American myth. It is a religion with conservatives for its mysterious processes enable them to safeguard special privilege from democratic process.
 One lady complained that she didn't see why Pearson and Allen had to give us a glimpse of the Chief Justice his shirt tails We think it pity that more Justices cannot be in their shirt tails The sooner we realize the Justices are human pengs, not divnities, the better.
 Pearson and Allen may be guilty Of lese majeste. But they make good reading. And voice good sense
