FAKERS TAKE IN HUGE SUM EACH YEARJN U. S. $125,000,000 Is Spent on Fortune Tellers, Says Librarian Editor. “The astounding sum of $125,000,000 a year is being paid in the United States to fortune tellers,” Emily Van Dorm Miller, editor of American Library Association publications, said today at the last general meeting of the Indiana Library Association and Indiana Library Trustees’ Association convention at the Lincoln. “It is against ignorance and superstition that librarians must wage an active war,” Miss Miller declared. "An enormously popular radio speaker begs all hearers to have their horoscope cast that they may avoid dangers and pitfalls, assuring us that her’s is a science founded on a law of nature.” Reaped Huge Fortune ‘lt is at least founded on a knowledge of human nature, for this faker has reaped a gigantic fortune, and a battery of secretaries is required to answer her enormous correspondence. “Another voice on the air promises to reveal depths of character through the study of handwriting.” “When we find crude beliefs and silly superstitions in those who presumably are educated people who look all right and appear to, have nothing the matter with them—it is time to start a crusade against such soul deadening and reason defying “enlightenment.” “People who trust to charms and incantations and changing names to protect their children will sneer at hygiene and sanitation,” Miss Miller said. “It ia our duty to teach their children to keep their minds open to truth.” Dr. Thompson Speaker Other speakers were: Dr. Edward T. Thompson, administrator of Indiana university school of medicine; Marion Webb of the Ft. Wayne public library, and Leon Carnovsky, University of Chicago. New officers of the executive board of trustees are: Mrs. J. F. Brenneman of Columbia City, president; A. G. Mitten, Goodland, vice-president; Mrs. George Budwell, Bloomington, secretary and treasurer, and A. M. Fisher, Gary, outgoing president, chairman of the executive board. Three new members of the board are Mrs. Charles M. Stanley of Albion, Mrs. Roy W. Adney, Lebanon, and Mrs. D. A. Armfield, Elwood.
