Gor don, who recently addra&sd tha Na tional AstrologtftntV association hern The Gordon, method can be boiled down to this before marrying a couple should check their birth dates with ths calendar. Persona born In certain months Junt haven't a chance for marital bliss. It all depends on when the prospective newlyweda were born. For Instance, lovers whose births are three or nine months apart won't make a success of marriage together. "When birth dates," Dr. Gordon said, "are one, five, seven and eleven months apart, they predict a frater nal love. Physical and material at tractions predominate in unions where births are separated by two or ten months. A separation of four or eight months In birth dates signifies that the couple would be real soul mates, he said. Dr. Gordon denounced racketeers In astrology, stating that seven out of every ten star readers are quacks. Burton N. Brooks of New York went even further, estimating that out of 10,000 astrolog&ta In New York city there are IS good ones. Guard Chickens With H rands LANCASTER, O.

(UP) Fingerprints may come to the aid of the medical pro fession In Its war on disease. Dr. Helnrlch Poll of Berlin told the delegates to the Anthropological con gress that much more Information could be obtained from finger mark ings than the records on police files provided. During an outbreak of Infantile paralysis It was found that the vic tims belonged to one group, all pos sessing the same characteristic fea tures In their fingerprints. Similar results had been obtained In case of people affected by other diseases. It had been possible to distinguish Inmates of a mental asylum from sane persons by means of their fin ger markings, claimed Dr. Poll, while racial and ancestral Information also are obtainable by expert atudy of th? fingers. Professor Cummlngs of New Or leans, commenting on Dr. Poll's dls vorerlS3. stated "There is perhaps some hope that we might Isolate In dividuals who have a predilection for infantile paralysis In an area where Infection has begun to spread."
