1353 ay-, is divided into twelve!

j suit in changes just as our annual
j circuit results in seasons. More
fover the type of life is influenced
by the new forces that play upon
it under each succeeding: age, just
as our four seasons bring definite
changes to which we accomodate
ourselves with more or less incon
venience and decorum, but even
greater changes occur and still
greater readjustments are neces
sary in the larger Solar Year of
the larger Orbit. We designate
our seasons as Fall. Winter,
Spring, and Summer, but in the
[larger Orbit the seasons are de
signated by the elements of
Earth. Water, Air, and Fire. The
significance of which we cannot
treat here.
These changes do not occur pre
cipitously but more or less gradu
ally just as we pass from season
to season but there are equinoxial
periods in the process when more
decided evidences of change are
experienced.
Every earthly season has its dis
tinct characteristics but in our an
nual circuit that from winter to
spring beet brings into evidence
the latent forces of nature when
the ice and snow arc melted and
the life forces are revived. Just
now we are in that position and
are experiencing those identical
changes in the larger Cycle. We 1
have been living in the Picean Age
iintil the last few years which is \
the greatest material age of the'
Solar Orbit, and are now in cusp ]
or transition period between it \
and the Apuarian which is the
most Spiritual of all, and appar
ently its opposite. The former
was a water age hence our devel- j
opment in navigation, discovery, j
hydraulics and commerce, the j
latter as an air age and as the air j
is above the water so is this age .
higher than its preceding, signify- i
in«? that we are coming under the j
direct influence of the highest |
forces in life and the Universe—:
Spirit, Wisdom, and Love—and j
during its period these character- j
islics will increase upon the earth
and finally prevail just as did
matter in the former.
It was necessary that the mater
ial period precede this in the af
fairs of men inasmuch as we first
needed to understand, develop,
utilize, and master material science '
and forces. This we did as no |
preceding age as evidenced by our
wonderful inventions and use of
machinery and natural resources,
but instead of entirely mastering
matter we became, in part, its!
slave. We became material-mind- j
ed to such a degree that we lost J
sight of spiritual realities and;
values. We ignored the fact that;
all matter is but spirit in a more
crystalized form just as H.20. be- j
comes ice is well as liquor and j
gas, and we erected gods of mat-1
ter with little or no thought of •
the great Reality behind them. I
We accumulated great fortunes, I
erected great cities and buildings,

organized great armies and navies j

systems and organizations that had
a material significance but were
void of the spirit of genuine Truth,
Life and Reality. This is true in
all our national affairs as well as
in our industrial educational, so
cial, and religious life. Matter
consciously and unconsciously has
become our God.
Now comes in the New Age with
its new Cosmic influences which
are just as opposite from the Pi
cean as spring is from winter be
cause of its inherent nature. These
forces have already begun to ex
ert their marked influence on our
life and we can easily determine
their effect as far back as 100
years. The X-Ray, Radium, the
Ultra Violet and the Cosmic Ray
are some of the forces that belong
to this age and were not in evi
dence during any other. The tele-1
phone, telegraph, wireless tele-1
graph, the radio, the auto and
aeronautics are a few forerunners
of the New Era and prophesy
something of its nature. These
things were not possible two or
three hundrej years ago, for the
influences for their development
were then withheld.

increase of vibrations of over

progress. It will have a tremeild
uous> effect upon the mind, emo
tions and spirit of the generations
to come and is already apparent to
him who sees below the surface.
These new forces and their influ
ence have had a tremendous dis
integrating effect on the things of
matter in which we had learned to
depend and are responsible <o a
large degree for the crashing
down of our fortunes and our en
terprises
In recent years many have be
held their false gods go tumbling
to earth and ruin and cried out
I against the cruel Tate that caused
j it all. Many in utter despair have
tried to end it all by suicide and
others have revolted or fallen into
apathy and sullen cynicism. The
necessary readjustment to any
new age is not ea.;y for it means
an entire change of view-point
and a complete re-education for
most of us. Such is very difficult
to acquire on account of humani
ty's refusal to break away from
the old paths and ideas. It must
either come through a long, tedi
ous process of education ot j
through a crisis of some kind
which arouses the public mind to
a new tread of thinking. It may
take both. In fact, in this in
stance, as in nearly all such transi- j
tions from age to age, we are en-!
countering both and if the crisis j
brings us more readily to the |
point of realizing tfc»* Truth and ;
making our necessary adjustments ;
more quickly why not count it a j
blessing? We should ever be glad, j
to give up the old for something
better which is always nature's ;
way of evolving the race. She j
never carries us backward. If we i
retrograde, it is because of ourj
own rebellion to the onward march ;
of the apes, for they are always
upward. Not only is each succeed
ing age characterized by higher
forces and influence!, but each
succeeding Cycle rises in an as
cending scale which tends to ever
carry us upward as well as onward.
Our best interests are served by
understanding the law and con
forming to it.
Many of our ideas and practices
must go under the radiance of new
influences for Wisdom (Spiritual
discernment) will replace mere in
tellect and a knowledge of real
Truth shall be made manifest. We
will be c arried out and beyond the i
material to realize the invisible
realities back of material expres
sion. Our minds will leap the gaps
of space and time and contact the
great spiritual forces that are
at the very seat of the Almighty.
This will be a thinking age in
which we seek the most profound j
understanding of life's realities. J
In fact, these things are already j
in evidence in more ways than wo j
care here to discuss. But it is
sufficient for us to come into the
realization that we are not the
victims of a great celestial order
but the ^recipients of -various
changing influencess to which we
can react as we may to our eternal
benefit or undoing, for there is
no fatality within this order of
things, for while they determine
to a large degree the type of ex
periences through which mankind
must pass in a given age, all of
which are designed to assist in his
progress, he is free to use these
as a means of assistance or not
as he desires. But if not, like all
other good forces, they may prove
his undoing and he becomes a vic
tim of the very things that would
help him.

Says Barometer
Rules Feelings
And Behavior
FORT WORTH, Texas. Feb. 3.
(UP)—When the baromaler reads
29.70 or below, be careful.
That figure is the barometric
dividing lino between cheerful,
good behavior and~the feeling that
leads to murder and suicide, ac
cording: to D. S. Landis, retired!
weather observer and student of
the effects of weather c«rt crime.
"When the barometer falls low,
one finds a condition of rarified
air that allows less oxygen per in:
take or breath. That means a lack
of proper amount "of oxygen in
the blood, a situation which sets
up mental and physical stagna
tion," Landis explained.
Contrary to romantic novels,
the moon has nothing to do with
it. It's barometric pressure that
makes one feel exhilarated or de
pressed.
"Varied climatic factors pro
duce varied mental products," j
Landis believes.
' Whittier wouldn't have -written
his great poems had he lived in
South America. Lowell would not
have seen 'The Vision of Sir Laun
fal' had his home been in Russia.
"And I wouldn't have produced
the thousands of poems in this
room had I lived in Michigan,"
said Landis, indicating his book
cabinets.
When to busy on the treatise I
on "The Police Blotter and the
Weather," Landis chief hobby is
poetry.

Says 5 More Year# of Boom
Would Have "Ruined
the Country"
By LESLIE D. HARROP
United Press Staff Correspondent
(Copyright, 1933, United Press)
DEARBORN. Mich., Feb;1 3.-—
(UP).—The depression is oVer—
we are in a period of, recovery,
Henry Ford told the United Press
in an exclusive interview yestci
day.
The period from 1923 to 1929
was the real depression, Mr. Ford
stated, for it was then that qual
ity and design in manufactured
things came to a standstill, prices
went up and values dropped.
Five years more of the so-called
"boom period" would have ruined
this country, ho qsserted.
Technocracy, he dimissed as a
whim of the times; a "moving pic
ture label for an old story"; dic
tatorship by college professors.
Machinery will never go until
man is ready to resume old meth
ods and give up the case and leis
ure it has produced hirq.
"Everybody I talk to these days
wants me to discuss technocracy,",
said Ford, "or prophesy ,,re
turn of the bad pld times. It si*i
ply shows how little thinking is
being done these day?.
"If people would' stop to think
they would see that nothing could
be worse than a retprn of wliat
we had previous to 1929, We are
just recovering from that periqfl.
"We had been going along fair
ly well until now because false
prophets had been scarce. In pre
vious readjustments, the false
prophets swarmed. The . public
mind was taken off the real i§sue
J>y scores of proposed fake reme
dies. That was not the case this
time, until technocracy came
along. It was new. Its name was
mysterious. It seemed to be the
last great product of university
learning. It took the world by
surprise much as poison gas did
during the war. But I see that
now a gas mask has been invent
ed and technocracy is out—except
a thing to talk about.
"Technocracy is just a moving
picture label for an old story that
failed to interest us when it was
first exploited. In brief, it is a
dictatorship by college professors.
They have no right tp the name
because there is scarcely a techni
cal man amongst them. And even
if they ^ere all of them techni
cians, the world is so constructed
that only life can control it."
