Through a

W By JEAN NEWTON
ActiOn is. 4n,uLets
by JEAN NEWTON

x A man was arrested recently be-
cause the police found in u pocket of
his coat shield that had been stolen
from an officer.
In another pocket he was carrying n
rabbits foot and pheasant's head, 'for
luck!"
Foolish mortatA-a rabbits foot in
one pocket and stolen goods in an
other!
lie soon learned that the mascot
was pOwerless to cOunteract the eci.
dence that incriminated him.
Powerless and worthless; for had he
kept free Of wrongdoing. he would
have had no need for It, and having
involved himself it did him no good.
Charms, talismans or incantations
are not in the running with one single
act toward desired end, nor can they
vitiate the effect Of Il wrong or un-
considered deed.
No lucky days or any other Of the
hoodoos. voodoos and taboos of super
atition ever had an infnitesimal effect
on any ones destiny except In the
harm they have done those who per-
mitted their. belief in such agencies to
prevent the action or work that would
have brought results. .....
Superstition Is q survival from the
goblin tenanted days when witchcraft
and black art were clubs held over the
heads of the simple people by those
who wanted to exploit them.
Today everybody knows better, and
the whole world's code is action.
Even Of prayer it Is wisely said that
: God helps those who help themselves
and In Writer'S line, making theil
lives q prayer" we find beautiful ex-
( preston of what experience teaches
~.
.sAnd that Is that the most effective
Kind OF prayer Il the rosary Of which
each bead represents a day well spent
IN good living and right acting that
Speaks and prays for itself.
