metric system, which scientists through
out the world have adopted. The working
units are multiples of ten and thus the
metric system avoids fractional units like
a o4lh or 52nd OF an inch or odd units
such as rods furlongs, and miles.
In the metric system 900 meters is a
unit of length called a klometer. In our
system, inherited from the British. $3.50
feet IS a unit, a mile land But when
you go TO sea the mile becomes 6'OSO.2O

It was not the charm, but their confidence,
that brought them ehe good luck.
BY the same token, a bad luck charm can
bring about real misfortune, You lose conf
dence, you get fearful you bring misfortune
on yourself. Most Of US remember times when;
carrying some delicate piece of glassware for
example we've thought Il hope 1 don't break
this, but probably will"
And sure as fate. we tighten up, lose our
muscular coordination and-crash!
\Y/EIRD, mystic cult followers and primitive
w people all over the world use the power
Of suggestion. Sometimes they use it to kill
their enemies.
The medicine man, with appropriate hocus
pocus and gibberish and ceremonies, makes a
little doll in the image Of the doomed enemy
Then he chants some more double-talk and
sticks a pin in the doll.
This is supposed to kill the human counter
part of the doll But what really kills him
is the fact that the medicine man is careful
10 let the victim know he is being cursed and
killed 1t is the superstition and the fear that
does the killing. The victim quite factually
feels the pain in heart or wherever it is in the
dolls body that the pin is sticking
But primitive countries aren't the only
places where hexes and voodoos work their
spell. 1t happens-as many things do-right
in Brooklyn, New York.
Only last March a 53-year-od Brooklyn
widow, Mrs. Jennie LenoX. refused TO testify
against a gypsy fortune teller accused OF de-
frauding her of $3.50 because, as the widow
told Magistrate Charles F. Ramsgate:
The spirits that she drove out OF me with
the use of my money and that had made me
i'll will return IL l press this charge against
this woman"
That in these United States in 1913.
1t IS a small sample OF why we ought TO
forget half Of what we know.
