Astrology Interests City Folic Magazines Purported td Tell Future Gain in Popularity. BY HELEN LINDSAY FROM the time of the oracles of Greek mythology, humanity has sought some means of looking into the future. In Indianapolis there :s an extensive group of persons who study palmistry, astrology, and er methods purported to reveal hap-

penings of the future. The urge to “see what’s going to happen” has brought out a number of small magazines dealing with astrology. According to proprietors of the Indiana theater magazine and news stand, many Indianapolis persons chart their daily business and social life by

the predictions in these magazines. Probably the most popular of these books is The Astronomy and Astrology Review, carried exclusively in Indianapolis by this news stand. Other books which are sought by the devotees are American Astrology and Your Astrology Magazine, both published the first of each month. Astrology is defined by one of the magazines as the science of correspondences between sun, moon, planets, stars and human beings. “Real astrology,” according to “Your Next Twenty Years,” published by the Wynn Publishing Company, “can tell you what psychological conditions you will be under from time to time in the future, thus giving you the opportunity to look ahead and act accordingly.” While many persons consider the study seriously, others follow the predictions in the publications as an amusement. Comparison of horoscopes rapidly is becoming one of the entertaining pastimes of the day. Governor Paul V. McNutt, for instance, was born under the sign of Cancer, which is said to give much idealism. Henry Ward Beecher, eminent minister of the mauve decade, and P. T. Barnum, were both born under this sign. Another of the persons known to the public who is supposed to be affected by the sign of Cancer is the prince of Wales. “The type is highly sensitive, has executive force, and a rare appreciation of the needs of the public,” one magazine states. Predictions for Governor Here are the indications for a few of the days of this month for this sign. Considering them as applicable to Governor McNutt, they are amusing and interesting! “April 16—Do not allow' your sensitive feelings to hurt you today. Remember that remark you overheard may not have been intended for you. Good for hard W'ork. “April 20—Hold on to your money. You had better start early in order to be on time with your appointments. “April 25—Not advisable to sign any legal or binding documents. Do not believe w'hat they tell you today.” Another book, summing up the forecast for the month for those born under the sign of the Cancer, says, “Those born after July 14 are faced by serious problems w r hich require great care in their solution.” Eager for Reading Whether they believe w r hat these books forecast or not, many Indianapolis persons await their appearance at news stands. Among those interested in the various publications dealing with astrology are Dr. C. J. Thielmann, Miss Elizabeth Collins, Mrs. Theodore Oechsle and Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson. The monthly magazines dealing w r ith astrology give a resume for the month; some sub-divide this by weeks, and practically all give a day by day prediction of conditions for each sign of the zodiac. Taurus is the sign for those bom between April 21 and May 21; Gemini, May 22 to June 21; Cancer, June 22 to July 23; Leo, July 24 to Aug. 23; Virgo, Aug. 24 to Sept. 23; Libra, from Sept, 24 to Oct. 23; Scorpie, Oct. 24 to Nov. 22; Sagittarius, Nov. 23 to Dec. 22. Capricorn, Dec. 23 to Jan. 20; Aquarius, Jan. 21 to Feb. 18; Pisces. Feb. 19 to March 20, and Aries, March 21 to April 20. DINNER SET FOR EDUCATION GROUP Annual dinner of the adult education department of the Y. W. C. A. will be held at 6:15 Tuesday in social hall. Mrs. Edward D. Fivecoats will review “South Moon Under.” Other program features will be a play, skits, songs and contests by members of the language and self-ex-pression classes.
