CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
WANTING TO SNEEZE

TF YOU want to sneeze and can't
L sneeZe, it is a sure sign that some
one loves you and does not dare to
tell you so. This universal supersti-
ton is clear case of sympathetic
or initiative magic, combined with that
idea of the magical sancitity of the
sneeze held by primitive man from
the days of him who first told the
story of Prometheus down. The
sneeze is a manifestation of the life,
the intellect. A young mans love for
woman is a part of his spiritual
being and when the bashful lover re-
presses it within himself instead Of
letting it manifest itself in words to
his adored one, this repression acts by
sympathetic magic upon the object
of his affections and she can't mani
fest her vital ego by neezing-though
she feels that she would like to, just
as he feels that he would like awfully
well to tell his love. The basic idea
Of the superstition is the false syl-
logism of primitive magic-things as
ISOLATED in thought are associated in
fact.

More High-SchooI Pupils

A new type of high-school student
and new type of high-school course
have come into existence az a result
of compulsory school attendance laws,
and they have brought new education
al problems with them, according to
e. E. Keener, director of instruction
al research of the PUBLIC schools in
Chicago. His findings, which have
been reported to an educational con-
ference there, show that high-schooi
enrolment has increased 800 per cent
in Chicago in the last 20 years, the
population increase during the same
time being 50 per cent. The estimate
of one school official is that more than
one-third of the pupils now enrolled in
the first two years Of high school are
there only because the laws do not
permit them to leave school and OBJ
tain work.

as the older members of our family
do
There Is something about our col
oring which helps to protect us. We
are smart in having such ways. But,
my child, some people who are here
studying the ways of curious animals
were talking the other day.
1T seems they were down here be-
fore and they took photographs and
moving pictures, and they showed
these before a great audience when
they went up to their own country
last year.
"They have been talking about it,
and they have said many things which
showed how interesting It was to 9TH
ers to see pictures of curious ami
mails and their ways and of the seen
cry around these parts.
"They showed a picture they had
taken of Mother Peripatus and her
young, and everyone, 1t seemed, whis-
pered to each other and said, What
in the world is peripatus?"
"First they showed some pictures of
our part of the country here. They
showed the tropical scenery. Then
they had moving picture of sloth,
and of a Capuchin Monkey swimming
along a river which, they explained,
was mile wide and which was haunt
ed by crocodiles and by carib fishes,
which the people had never heard of
before. At least many Of them had
not.
''Then they showed pictures OF
Mother Sloth and her baby climbing
and they were much amused to see
the upside-down way IL which she
climbed.
There were moving pictures shown
of wild animals of America, wild
moose, caribou, mountain sheep, goats
and elk, as well as the mule deer.
Next they had pictures of sea lions
bears and birds and of play-fight be-
| tween a keeper and kangaroo which
were made to move so slowly that II
was very curious, they said, to see
| just what actions were made. ON
| they laughed at that and at the pic
lures which went so slowly Of the sea
| lions, showing each little movement
they made. But it was the picture
| of Mother Peripatus and her chile
which was the really big event of thu
evening for most of the audience

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
FILLING THE RANKS
By F. "A. WALK E r

IF IN the exuberant spirit of youth
i you are just stepping on the
threshold of human activities,
equipped with talents which should
permit you to take a leading part In
the stirring scenes, but for some rea-
son you are unable to participate, hold
your patience and bide your time.
If Opportunity does not call today,
he may knock at your door tomorrow.
To every human comes the time OF
entrance and the period Of exit. The
tide Of life Is ever moving.
Somebody In the waters is being cast
on the rocks; somebody is drifting out
to sea; somebody is being sucked
under.
The old, the worn and the incompe-
tent are being swept ruthlessly aside
by the currents and whirlpools.
1t is the natural trend Of things.
Those who occupy the high places
today. conspicuous for ability and wis
dom, must In the cosmos order OF

recruits, as must the decrepit in all
the great armies of men.

cancy.
men and women of sterling worth to
step up to the front and help bear the
worlds burdens.
The vacant chairs and the broken
ranks must be filed.
Art, science, industry and business
must move forward.
The black smoke must curl from the
factory chimney; the shuttles must
dart to and fro; the forge must ring
with steel upon steel; trains must
move and ships must sail, else the
world and the peoples of earth would
retrograde and perish.
While waiting for Opportunity, the
thing for young men and women to
do is to improve themselves, even
though they may hold university di-
plomas, mere tickets certifying that
they have paid first-class fare on a
through train, bat not designating
destinations.
When the old conductor shouts: "All
tickets, please 7" where will you tell
him you are going?
Are you on your way to uplift hu
manity, or work for human good-to
do things and not merely talk about
them?
II you ere willing to work, willing
TO bear the knocks and rubs, willing
to sacrifice, to love and to stand the
true test, there is place waiting fol
