Folklore Responsible
The folklore element is largely
responsible for the present day
hangover Of the confident belief
on the part of laymen of an ability
to diagnose and prescribe for many
of the ailments of the body. It is
a matter of family pride to know
certain .'sure cures" for many dis
eases, and to take issue with these
beliefs is distinct reflection upon
the family intelligence. ~.
Furthermore, the so-called scien-

fiuences a great many people to q
belief that diagnosis and treatment
of human ills is a simple cut and
dried affair; that for every disease
there is cure; that if the doctor is
unable to relieve the patient, doubt
less there is someone else who can.
It is a human trait to want to
be helpful in sickness and distress.

SOMETIMES a player with a
little knowledge Of probabilities in
distributions will succeed with a
course in which the odds are more
against him than they would be
under some other procedure. Ig-
uorance leads him to success. On
other occasions a keen student con-
sciously chooses the less likely path
because he has a hunch-women
call it intuition = that science
would not pan out that particular
time. Some of those achievements
are little short of uncanny.

HoltVille high school footballers
fought against a letdown Tuesday
as they drilled on offense and de-

the Bulldogs will be in. A victory
for CaleXico will tie the race tighter
than a seaman's knot and will prob
ably necessitate a playoff at the

even odds on the outcome of the
game Thursday night after Holt

favored CaleXico.
