CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
UPSETTING PINS
By H. IRVING KING

IF YOU should accidentally upset a
L box, cup or other receptacle con-
tanning pins; and If all the pins spill
out, be prepared for quarreling with
your friends or family, perhaps los
ing your job. But should the pins
not all spill out-should even one pin
remain in the receptacle-then you
may be assured of continuous paying
employment-you need not fear los
ing your job quarreling. This COM
mon superstition Is one Of several re-
lating to pins, and Is as old as pins
themselves. In fact 1t is older, for 1t
Is but a variation of the binding"
idea and must have attached itself to
whatever our ancestors used for PIN
ming purposes-thorns maybe. It's
basis is that confounding of facts
and ideas which was the weakness
of primitive mans reasoning and
which is the vice of many of his de
scendants to this day notable So
biologists and doctrinaires.
Pins are used to attach one some
thing to another something" You
are pinned" to your job. You spill
the pins and, by sympathetic magic,
you spill this binding force; your job
Is 1unpinned" from you. But III one
pin remain unspilled that holds you
and your job together. "What is as
ISOLATED In thought is associated In
fact"-theory of the ancients. The
idea that If all the pins are spilled
you will have quarrels has like basis.
The bonds of friendship and amity
are "unpinned" and. Of course, you

How 1t Started
CALLING 1T A FUNERAL y
By JEAN NEWTON

IN ALL modern languages there are
certain words whose meaning Is in
Dictated by their sound. This principle,
which in rhetorical parlance we call
onomatopea, Is exemplified In words
like buss, hiss, slap, boom; also in the
words funeral, funereal, where sound
so agrees with their sentiment that
we naturally assume that their etymol-
ogy is in accordance with the meaning
they convey.
But we find the last have a curious
derivation that takes a story to bring
out its relation to their use today.
The Romans, pagans that they were,
buried their dead at nightly the
light of the moon when they could.
But as there was moonlight for only
a short period In the year, they used
torches, which were the lighting sys-
tenn of the day. The Latin word for
torch is funis, from which they had
funerals, torchlight procession. And
not from corpse" or death" or
mourn" comes the word funeral, but
from 'torchlight procession"
