THE BOWL OF HEAVEN
by
Evanoellne Adame

II you are interested In astr-
ology. as so many are today, you
will find "The Bowl of Heaven"
by Evangeline Adams as fascinat-
ing as the discovery of hidden
treasure.
Miss Adams, as the result of
her unrelenting efforts to lift
astrology from disrepute, became
Americas foremost astrologer-a
far reach from the day she was
refused admittance to the Fifth
Avenue hotel, New York, because
OF her profession, to later years,
when her studio was In Carnegie
hall with ]. P. Morgan and Sey-
mour Cromwell. president Of the
New York stock exchange, num-
bered among her clients.
She became interested in as
trology when, as a young girl, she
was sent by the family physician
to see Dr. j. Heber Smith, the
leading diagnostician OF New Eng
land. DR.. Smith was not a pro-
fessional astrologer, but used the
science in connection with his
medical work. He recognized un-
usual material in Evangeline
Adams and instruction followed. At
his death he left her his manu-
scripts and the results OF his many
years study.
Evangeline went to New York,
her first noteworthy success being
the prediction OF the Windsor fire
on March 16, 1899. the greatest
hotel disaster of all times. News
papers emblazoned the warning of
this unknown girl. attested to in a
statement by Mr.. Leland the
owner. Clients began to seek her.
Evangeline Adams writes in a
straightforward. unadorned style a
book filled with interesting data
concerning astrological influences
on the lives of the great and near
great, whose horoscopes she has
cast. She predicated the World
war, Caruso's death and her own
death on Nov. 10, 1892.

parable in intimate episode and
understanding OF human nature to
biographies from the medical pro-
fession and is a book the layman
will find interesting as well as

1e41 WILL BE COOD-IF WE TRADE
AT HOME

Probably one of the most profoundly
comprehensive and reliable forecasts of
business for 1941 comes from the pen
of Roger w. Babson, nationally and in
ternationally known as student of
world affairs. This forecast comes to
you this week in the columns of the
Miner. 1t is is worthy of your close
study 1t will enhance your present
optimism and strengthen your resolve to
meet the living conditions of 1941 with
greater fortitude and hope of profit.
During the past years that Roger Bah
son has been making these business pre-
dictions, his close approach to reality
has been uncanny, yet he presents
good and acceptable reason for every
approach to the questions of 1941 with
greater fortitude and hope of profit.
In our own community it appears that
if we bravely meet the situations as they
confront us, be neighborly, be reason
able, be conservative without being
miserly, and Trade At Home, the peo-
pie of this community will find the year
1941 better than the year just gone.

DOLLARS CANNOT BUY
YESTERDAY

A Journalist, looking back upon the
year which has just closed, finds an
infinity of matters about which to write.
A great war, which is in essence a
titanic struggle between two irreconcil-
able PHILOSOPHERS of life, has steadily
spread. A whole continent has felt the
boot of new conqueror with plan
Napoleon. The worlds economy has
undergone violent change, and stability
has been replaced by chaos.
Here in our own country we have
recently gone through the most tradi-
tion-shattering election in our history.
The great issues of that election were
three-fold. First, whether to elect a
president for third term. Second, how
to keep America at peace, while aid
ing England with all steps short of war.
Third, how to best build military and
naval establishment unprecedented in
our history.
The second and third issues are the
most vital this country faces today.
They are not partisan issues.
1t is obvious to anyone not blinded by
false and baseless optimism that the
great plans of last summer for building
an impregnable defense at once are not
being realized. 1t is easy to appropri-
ate gigantic sums of money 1t is easy
to make blueprints of tanks and air.

have great defense establishment "on
order" But dollars and blueprints do

A NEW PILOT TAKES COMMAND

A new governor has assumed the
helm of Arizona's ship of state. New
administrative heads are to be found in
departments formerly controlled by
Bob Jones.
In what Unexpectedly developed into
a two-man race last September 10th
Jones was voted out of office as Cover
nor by, peculiarly, those very counties
which had overwhelmingly endorsed his
candidacy two years before. And such
counties as Mohave, Coconino, Navajo,
Cochise and Santa Cruz, which had pre-
viously returned pluralities against him,
were found as endorsing his request for
reelection.
Since to the victor has ever belonged
the spoils the counties of the north and
south which failed to support Jones in
1888 neither expected nor received
special patronage favors and, as
natural consequence, measured the
Jones administration by its accomplish
ment rather than by the yard stick of
patronage.
This was not, by long odds, the case
in counties wherin Jones emerged
victories two years ago. Scores of more
or less luke warm supporters blossomed
forth as dynamic workers in the field
of votes-unheard of individuals filed
claims for jobs of some sort-preferably
ones carrying monthly stipend of 5000
or more. For each job request denied a
enmity smoldered which combined into
an avalanche of "aginer" votes in 1910
and a new governor heads our state
government.
Bob Jones was a good governor
Inerently "fair' person. Jones trusted
those in whom he placed high re-
sponsibility and in 'most instances, re-
ceived in return high average of in
tellegent public service. AS a conse-
quence most departments directly con-
trolled by Governor Jones were eco
nomically and wisely administered and
have been turned over to the new ad-
ministration as smooth running organi-
cations.
Jones corrected many governmental
evils during his two year. More reforms
can and should be made. The course
has been ably charted and We'll soon

quarter. Moral principles, Christian
teachings, are scoffed at. This is not
pretty. But it is true.
This America we know cannot be sure
of existence unless it solves the problem
of how to swiftly build our defenses-
and to build them in keeping with the
democratic tradition which they are de-
signed to protect and to save. All the
productiveness of this nation is needed
now-of capital, of industry, of govern
ment, of labor. The industriallst who
seeks outrageous profits; the official
who plays politics in time of danger;
the labor leader who foments unJustl-
fled strikes in vital defense industries
cannot be tolerated. We must never for
get that we can be destroyed from with
in no less than from without.
The American people cannot accept
failure from any man-whether the
man who fails holds a great title or
is a lowly worker in factory. There is
no excuse for failure No nation in the
world is potentially so productive as
ours. None has a 1.-THE of our riches
riches of manpower no less than riches
of wealth and of natural resources. In
this crisis, we shall really learn the
calibre of our people and our public
men.
It is said of France that, in preparing
to resist aggression, her government,
her industries and her workers did ''too
little-and did it too late" We too are
doing too little. But let us hope that we
correct our errors before it is too late.
When the head of our Navy observed
that dollars cannot buy yesterday" he
stated grim truth that every American
must realize.
In this great national effort there can
be no failure. The thought cannot be
tolerated that Democracy here has
fallen on such evil days that it cannot
complete with the dictators In England
we have magnificent example of what
free men, fighting to retain that free
dom can accomplish against heard
breaking odds.
1t was Winston Churchill who said on
taking office that he could offer his
people nothing save sacrifice and sweat
and toll. Here we must absorb an ample
measure of that spirit. No one else can
make our sacrifices for us. The re-
sponsibility for the perpetuation of our
way of life falls squarely and irrevoc-
ably on the shoulders of us all. No one
can avoid it.
To say that we have now. entered on
the most critical years modern Western
civilization has ever known, is to simply
state the obvious. We do not know how
much time we will have to make our
selves secure to guarantee peace in the
only way possible in this disrupted
modern world, which is by making our
selves so strong that no aggressOr or
possible combination of aggressors will
dare to try our strength. We do know
that time, most precious of all elements,
must no longer be lavishly wasted
To stay at peace-to become strong.
Those are our national objectives. We
have the great industries-we have the
men-we have almost limitless re-
sources To attain those vital goals de-
mands the full and friendly cooperation
of government, of labor, of industry, of
agriculture, of all. We must not be tried
and found waiting.
