Related question! propounded
to me recently by lour persons,
unrelated and unknown to each
other, are discussed here.
1. A pleasant young salesman
after learning that my specialty
was astronomy asked with evi
dent sincerity and pit, "Do you
really believe that astronomers
can foretell the future by the
stars?" My answer was, "No."
He said he thought that was the
business of astronomers.
2. An educated young woman,
who wished to offend no one in
the organization before which
she was to present a scientific
paper, asked this: "Can you ad
vise me how to handle the sit
uation diplomatically should
anyone present assume that I
consider astronomy ana astrol
ogy identical?"
Comfort Darlytd
I advised a simple statement
of the belief of astronomers.
There are many people today
who sincerely trust in astrology
and seemingly derive comfort
from it. The large sale or. astro
logical magazines is proof

a.m., weather permitting.

planes, one rubber-powered

and an event for ships powered
with the new British Jetex.
which is a type of jet motor
powered by burning a chemical
form, giving off an expanding

very small opening, thus produc
ing' the jet effect.

plenty. To make a wholesale at
tack on these "believers" Is as
offensive as is the denunciation
of any religious faith. Heated
arguments seem unwise. Every
one has a right to his personal
belief.
One point, however, should
be understood by all. Many sup
pose that astrologers and astron
omers work harmoniously to
gether. They do not. But with
out classing either group as mis
lead, we can confidently state
without fear of contradiction
from anyone who will investi
gate that today no professional
astronomer who is teaching in
a standard college, working in
a large observatory or employed
by the government believes in
astrology. Maybe all these star
gazing scientists are mistaken,
but if so they certainly are
unanimous in their error.
Nothing to Moon Lor
3. A correspondent asks, "Do
the phases of the moon have
anything to do with crops and
the weather?"
Again let me sidestep my per
sonal views by stating that col
lege professors of agriculture,
weather bureau officials and the
lowly astronomers are practical
ly unanimous in their opinion
that there is nothing to moon
lore or moon signs. They be
lieve that beans planted at the
"wrong" time of the moon in
May have a far better chance
of success than when planted at
the "proper" moon phase in
January. The new moon always
has the same tilt (wet or dry)
any certain month year after
year.
4. Another writes, "Will you
recommend a good magazine on
astronomy no astrology which
is interesting and informative?
Among the better-known mag
azines of America. I can highly
recommend Popular Astronomy,
Astrophysical Journal. Astro
nomical Journal. Skv and Tele
scope. Griffith Observer. Jour-
nal of the Royal Astronomical I
Society of Canada, and Publica
tions of the Astronomical So
ciety of the Pacific. '
Some of these are more suited
for popular reading than others.
A statement of your desired type
of reading together with an ad
dressed postal for reply sent to
this present writer at Eugene,
Ore., will bring advice on the
magazine suited to ynnr needs.
