How "The Evil Eye" Belief May Havo
Basis In Fact.

How .The Evil Eye" Belief May Have q
Basis In Fact.
The explanation of the superstition
known as the evil eye, like many
another strange and unreasonable
human fear, has just been hit upon py
Lawrence Wroth, one of my colleague
graduates of the Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity. He declares that 1t is found
ed upon real fact.
If Mr.. Wroth's discovery is veri-
fed, those who are the innocent, but
none the less serious causes of un-
pleasant events-blamed upon the evil
eye-must submit to complete isola-
ton and quarantine.
It may amaze you to learn that
there is only one person in the nun
dred who is free from superstitlons
and even that one very likely Will

table or begin any new enterprise on

Professor Sigmund Freud, of Vien-
ma. was one of the first matter-of-
fact psychologists to explain to the
satisfaction of sceptical, materialistic
science why salt spilled forbodes
quarrel.
When you spill salt, it Is evidence
that your thoughts and emotions are
not given over strictly to the business
in hand. In other words, definitely
tangible attention to your unconscious
impulses and fears are at work In
your finger ends. Your stumble,
blunder, twitching, or slip of the pen
or tongue-which Is in this instance
split salt-indicates an impending ana
real disappointment or quarrel.
A Possible Explanation.
You are not efficiently yourself.
What seems to be an isolated, inconse-
ouential or unlinked act, Is directly
related to a subsequent disaster. 10
believe that split salt points to the
after-clap is not superstition at all.
There is here a physical sequence.
Both are effects of greater basic
cause, namely, the hidden, uncoh-
scious fear

their shadows before.

of travelling actors, travelling through
England, often going on foot. MOI
long after this Inchbald took MS WlIe
to Paris, where he vainly sought TO
make q living as painter. Largely
on account of her impediment Mrs.
Inchbald had not succeeded as an
actress, and SO she decided to turn
her wits to work in writing plays.
But the greatest of all her writings
was her novel called "A simple
Story" which was one of the earliest
examples of the novel of passion, ana
which was the prototype of such
books as "Jane Eyre" AS a writer
Mrs. Inchbald was very successful
for those days. Sometimes she re-
ceived as much as $4,000 for a single
play. She was offered $4,000 for her
memoirs and, though she wrote them,
she destroyed them before her death
at the advice of Bishop Poynter, who
felt that they would undoubtedly do
more harm than good. Mrs. Inchbald
was one of the most fascinating
women of her time. Though given to
sentimental attachments she was
blameless in her life and never mar
ried after the death of her husband,
Joseph Inchbald.

common Sense in the schoolroom.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Parents generally will sympathize
with the Merchantville IN. J.) father
who is making fight for common
sense in the schoolroom against the
ridiculous and arbitrary rulings or
those in authority. 1t will be recalled
that during the sitting days In the
hae,inning of the term the mother of
two bows in question sent them TO
school with collarless blouses. 1t is
conceded that the youngsters were
clean and neat, but their teacher felt
il incumbent upon her to send them
home TO nut on collars and neckties.
The girls of the school were permitted
TO wear low -necked dresses without
any question and it is quite probable
that some of the teachers wore VS. as
low az that Of the eleven and thirteen
vaar-old boys who were put under the
han. But the principal of the school
said the teachers were right and now
thew have been upheld by the school
hoard. Also, the children must lose
their marks for the four days In
which they were refused admission to
school.
The father of the boys Is perfectly
right in his announced purpose OF
carrying the case to the state super
intendent Of schools. and II defeated
there, of taking the matter into court:
There seems to be a woful lack OF
ordinary tact and common sense, not
onIv among the teachers OF the Mer-
.chantyilie schools, but with the
members of the school board as well.

should be disciplined for appearing IN

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

, stricken one Is innocent of any motive
or intention of doing harm.
Like Typhoid Mary?"
Evidently, those convicted of the
"evil eye" superstition, according to
the view of Lawrence Wroth. are
like Typhoid Mary and Diphtheria
John.
Indeed, they are the innocent car
riers and distributors of malicious and
disease-breeding bacteria. Through
some trick of their own natural i'm
munity or physical health, they escape
the penalties which they inf1ict upon
communities, or, perchance, they have
the affiiction in a mild way, and the
diphtheria bacilli or other parasites
use them as hotbeds in which to ger
inmate.
Let it, then, be said for the nonce,
that Mr.. Wroth's original explanation
of the evil eye has this much in Its
favor The innocent and sad in
dividual thus blamed superstitiously
will now readily submit himself for
treatment and isolation, and the mis-
directed fears of the Intelligent and
well-educated public will be allayed

Woman Suffrage Not Borrowed

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sire. S.," who writes an anti
suffrage article in your issue Of Oc-

statements. He asserts that the suf-

The first convention in the history
of the world to ask for votes for
women was held at Seneca Falls.
N. Y, in 1S4S. The first suffrage asso-
citation in the world was organized in
America, at the above named conven-
tion. Instead of our borrowing
from England in this matter, England
borrowed from us, for the first Eng
lish suffrage society was copied
directly from the one at Seneca Falls.

CO Friend

If nothing else in all the world
Remained, but just glimpse of you,
I'd still believe the world was good
And life was worth the living, too
If evry friend had proven false
But you, I'd still have faith to know
That God could raise up other friends
To stand by me in veal woe.
If over all the world cloud
Had settled deeper than the night
And should see your smile, I'd know
Somewhere, sometime there would be light
If evry bird that ever sang
Had lost the note it sang before,
One word of yours would make me feel
That music would peal forth once more.
If evry lovely flower that grew
Had pershed in this world of pain
I'd trust the Power that made you, dear,
To bring back loveliness again
If no else believed in God,
And no else believed in me,
Your joy in life, your faith, your love,
Would make me feel eternity.

Trip to Experiment Farm

Last Sunday morning we were
donated berth in Don Smith s
touring car and driven to the
Experiment Farm, four miles
southwest of Snowflake. Be-
sides Don, Messrs. A. F. Was
sell and Delbert Hansen went
along as machinists, stokers. etc.
According to Mr.. Smith. this
small stretch of four miles of
road is the best of it's size, di-
mensions, circumference and
length in the county, and was
surveyed out, ballasted, dragged
and graded all by himself, with
out the aid of any county en-
gineer or nobody. Arriving at
the farm, which lies in a beau
tiful spot and consists of some
thing like 320 acres-not all in
cultivation. though-we were
shown some of the products of
this seasons yield, all raised
without irrigation. The bean
crop took our eye-so many va
rieties. colors and sizes-they
looked almost good enough to
eat. Then we received our first
introduction to the Tepery bean,
some of which are white and
others of a greenish tint and
resemble the famous Navy arti-
Gle. Mr.. Wassell, VINO is about
seven-sevenths Scotch, under
stood the name to be Tipperary,
and as this named sounded very
near home to- him, he made a
valorous search over the planta-
ton for bean with a Scotch
accent to it. But frijoles are
not the farms mainstay. Most
everything of an agricultural
nature is raised, and each season
many new things are tried
out" The Experiment Farm is
in charge of Mr.. Smith and he
has done a good work since
taking over the job.
We omitted to mention the
Aztec bean-mammoth white
fellows as large as marbles
said to be pleasingly palatable
when baked. Only a quart of
this specie was raised on the
farm this year.
