Astrology is the passport ©” By Jack Scott The man who runs the place where I get my. magazines sends me a clipping from a trade paper under the heading What They’re- Reading. Contains the news, if such it is, that periodicals dealing with astrology remain the most consistent sellers, topped only by the true confession things for the the little women and the so-called “men’s magazines’’, mostly naughty, for the boys. “T) am- amazed,"’ my friend writes, ‘at the variety of people, ofall walks of life, who seem to be seeking solace or guidance ‘from the professional star-gazers Surely it is true, as old Mencken once observed, that nobody. ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the North Ameri- can public. ” Not that this is anything new, of course. From the days when the Roman. soothsayers poked about messily in the en- trails -of birds for a. sneak preview of the future there’s been a generous supply of vain or fearful or simply ignorant customers to keep any self- “appointed voodoo man_ in business. There have been and are for- tune-tellers, teacup. readers, ~oracles.- with second sight; ‘transient yoga practitioners, seventh sons. of seventh. sons, ‘gazers ‘into cards, palms and - crystal. balls. and students. of cranium bumps, all thriving on. the’ reliable theory of P..

This unhappy fellow was an advanced alcoholic whose sole income for his liquid supplies came from searching his pickled brain for cosmic bulletins. The chilling fact. that his stumbling around in the intinite meadows of the universe may have influenced the lives of a good many of our readers was either a huge joke or a small tragedy. Either way it was the blind leading the blind. Perhaps. the secret: of the continuing, popularity of these magazines ties: in the. basic feeling of insecurity of these times or it may simply. be the age-old hunger. for inflating the ego. . Anyone, you see, with 35 cents to spare, can find by. a. fast consultation with the star-gazer that he’s really a gaint among men, whatever his wife or anyone else says. Take my own case.
