WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON, Pm. d.

| A few years ago I was at st. Johns
College. oxford, England. One Of the
students met there told me Of cu-
rious superstition. Pointing TO ro-
mantle lane, across the beautiful lawn
at the rear Of the main building, he
F, said: "No student would think of walk
Ing through that lane on the night be-
fore the examination. II he does he Is
sure TO be ploughed" I took 1t he
meant that the student would fail in
the examination.
Superstition is not dead. We are in
clined to think that belief in charms
and magic and taboos is confined to
savage and ignorant people. However,
we are all more or less superstitious.
You laugh at others for carrying a rab-
bits foot or hanging horseshoe over
the door, and yet there is some super
stition over which you feel little
queer" Perhaps you, don't mind start

| Just because two things happen at
the same time or Immediately following
each other we assume that they are
necessarily connected. A superstition
is a mistaken relationship. For ex-
ample, black cat crosses your path
or you break mirror and you have
hard luck. This looks very much like
cause and effect, because we take into
account only those cases where hard
luck does follow, and ignore or forget
the other cases In which nothing un-
usual happens.
Another reason why we are SUPER
stitious Is that we like to believe in
luck, and assume that we can influence

Everyday Law Cases
To What Ertcnt Must Holder
Of Theft Insurance
Prove THEFT?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

When Mrs. Talbot's butler left her
she missed a gold cigarette case and
other articles valued at $780, Having
taken out policy Of insurance cover
ing burglary. larceny and theft, Mrs.
Talbot sent a proof-of-loSs claim to
the company.
Investigators of the company re-
ported TO their employer that there
was no evidence they could find which
would tend to show that the articles
had been actually stolen. The COM
pany thereupon informed Mrs, Talbot
that the loss would not be paid mas
much as her policy declared specifically
that mere disappearance OF lost articles
was insufficient to prove theft.
Mrs. Talbot sued. In her story to the
Jury she stated that when her butler
left, she found that her trunks had
been ranSacked. AS additional proof
of the buffers guilt. she declared that
the butler had failed to send her his
new address as he had promised. and
that she found the mattress of his bed
slit
Counsel for the insurance company
asked the court to rule that the facts
stated by Mrs. Talbot did not consti-
tute sufficient evidence OF theft, and
accordingly, to dismiss her case.
But the court ruled that the suf-
ficiency of the evidence was for the
jury. who later brought in a verdict in
Mrs. Talbot's favor. to decide. stating:
In addition to the facts of disap-
pearance of the articles. there are facts.
in our opinion, which may tend to
prove to the jury that the articles
were stolen. Since this case is being
tried before a jury and there are such
facts. 1t is proper for the jury to judge
their weight"
