MONDAY, JULY 3, 1939.

According to astrology this is day of strongly adverse planetary direction. In business affairs the utmost caution should be exercised. Surprising fluctuations in the stock market are probable.
 Labor continues under threaten ing sway that may be especially un- favorable to commerce. An incident of serious potentialities is forecast. This configuration is dangerous to those who travel on the highways. Many accidents may occur. An out break of banditry may trouble mo- torists in the West.
 Mars is in a place believed to presage spread of anxiety in the United States. The press may build up a fear of war
 Surprises, often prophesied in in ternational affairs, will be frequent in coming weeks The stars that affect diplomacy warn of unexpect- ed moves on the worlds chess board.
 Planetary influences thad affect nations will be potent in changing 1 individuals as we'll Girls may be difficult to guide this summer and may incline toward reckless freedom in their association with men
 Mothers are counseled to guard their daughters against mental in- stability. Mass hypnotism will be widespread and will affect women, young and old.
 This summer, home should be a safe haven not to be deserted to seek adventure. Planetary influences that inspire boys to enlist for mili- tary service affect girls with the de- sire for dramatic experience.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury Of year of trials and obstacles. Care in correspondence is advised. Danger in travel is prob- able.
 Children born on this day may be bit cratic and difficult to guide Many of them are extremely gifted Human sympathies are strong.

Leaf Growers Are Pleased
With Opening Market Prices

Cardinals tobacco growers, ap-
prehensive over the trend OF low
prices on the Georgia market, re-
ceived a pleasant surprise Thurs
day when opening sales on the
border belt auction markets ap-
parently averaged better than
Is cents q pound.
Prices were a few cents lower
than those which prevailed at the
opening of the auction season
last year, but sales supervisors
generally agreed that the bulk
of first offerings were OF IN
ferior grades.
From all the markets came
this report:
"Prices averaging about l0 or
| 10 cents. Farmers well pleased.
Lower grades bringing better
prices than last year. Few or no
tags turned"
The turning Of a tag is the ges-
ture by which a grower rejects
the bid on his pile Of tobacco
because he is not satisfied with
the price bid.
The customary heavy offerings
prevailed on all the markets.
Blocked sales resulted at some
j points, and all the tobacco was
not disposed of, and was carried
over until tomorrow.
In most instances official price
averages had not been computed
tonight. The first official averag-
es were not expected to be ready
until tomorrow.
The agricultural marketing
service at Florence, S. c., report
ed that average prices on the ma
jority of grades ranged from
S2.75 to $3.50 a hundredweight
lower than for the opening week
last year.
Some of the better-quality
a hundred" the service said,
but low-quality grades held to
about the same level as last year.
The bulk of the tobacco sold
from around $3.50 to $3.50 with
very little selling over $25 or
under Sc.
Offerings were heavy in vol
ume and consisted mainly of fair
to Inequality Tugs and low to
Inequality primings. Primings
and lemon-colored grades were
in outstanding predominance.
Cutters and leaf were offered on
ly in limited volume

Senate Finally Passed Social
Security Amendments Sat.

A senate vote of So to COM
pleted congressional action Sat-
urday on legislation to increase
OUTLAWS for social security and,
at the same time, postpone a
scheduled increase in taxes.
The legislation sailed to APP
prevail after months of wrangling
between the house and senate
and after Senator Connally, DEM
oCat, Texas, had pounded his
desk and charged that Congress
paid a $695,OOO,OOO price" for
elimination of his amendment to
increase the governments share
of OUTLAWS in the federal-State
program of old age assistance.
Congress retained the present
dollar for-dollar matching basis,
instead of adopting this plan,
but increased the total that
might be raised in this way from
$40 TO $40 month per recipient.
(OId age insurance is the sys-
tenn und5r which employers and
employees both pay taxes to fl
nance pensions for employees af-
fer they reach IS. Old age as
sjstance is or persons now old
and in need.)
La FCllette's proposal, which
IVES Included in the finally-ap-
proved legislation, provides that
d person who has paid some old
age Insurance taxes, and who
reaches during 1889, may be eli
gIbia for all old age insurance
pension. Originally, the bill pro-
Vided that only those reaching IS
in 1870 or thereafter would be
eligible.
Old age pensions will start
January /, 1910, under the
amended act. Under the old pro-
vision they would have started
in 1872, and any person reaching
65 prior to then would have re-
ceived the amount actually con-
tributed, plus three per cent in
tacest, III lump sum.

to and why? We're they killed Off
by the Siberian tribes who cross
ed the Boring Strait and became
what we call Indians?

None of their bones have been

FLINT fire
The last of a family which
practiced the almost extinct art
of flintknapping for nearly a
thousand years passed away
when Fred Snare died in Eng
land a few months ago. ''Knap-
ping" or shaping flint into disable
forms is a craft older than black
Smithing, and less easily master
ed.
At the time of his death Fred
Snare was making gunflints to
ship to Africa, where the native
tribes still use. the ancient flint
lock weapons, such as I used to
see in the old New England
homes when l was a boy.
Flint is not the hardest stone,
but it is the most widely distrlb-
uted of the hard, brittle rocks,
and so it was used by primitive
races of men all over the world,
for tools and weapons and for
striking fire.
Whoever first discovered that
the spark from one flint strik-
ing another flint would set fire
to dry leaves or straw, and that
the fire would not only keep the
home cave warm but improved
the taste of animal flesh when
the game was roasted over the
flame, was the real father of
civilization.
That fire could be started IN
other ways mankind did not
learn until less than two hun
dred years ago. In my GRANDPA
theirs time country folk still used
flint and steel, for matches had
not been invented.
MIND tomorrow
Going back into what modern
science has learned about the de-
velopment of modern Man from
his primitive prototypes impress
es me with the fact that the hui
man race is steadily improving.
We live longer than our ancestors
did, are physically better equip
ped for the battle of life, and
have better functioning and bet
ter trained minds.
All human progress has been
the result of the working of the
human mind. One reason we
think straighter and more clear
ly than the ancients did is that
we have access to more facts
than they knew. All science is
concentrated upon the discovery
of facts. No theory stands for a
moment in the face of a single
fact which doesn't fit in with
theory.
