Indicated in Midwest
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The
New York Times said today re-
ports received from it's CORE.
lspondents throughout the country
indicate the result of the con-
test for the presidency continues
to be uncertain and that the elec-
Ition might be very close"
The story said the most i'm
lportant campaign development OF
the past week, according to the
reports. "was a gain by Gov
stevenson, especially in the more
lpopulous States of the Midwest
and in California"
All these States have a SUBJ
lstantial number of electoral votes
the Times noted in its fifth weekly
survey report.
The newspaper is supporting
Gen. Eisenhower editorially.
The reported Stevenson gain
the Times said, seemed to be
particularly in evidence in Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, Gov. Ste
Ivenson's home State; Wisconsin
Iowa and Minnesota.
The survey story, written by
James A. Hagerty. continued:
Correspondents reported, how
ever, that Gen. Eisenhower still
seemed to have a lead in Michi-
gan, Indiana. Wisconsin and Min
nesota. and that silent vote, un-
decided or noncommittal, would
probably decide the results in
those States.

The law provided that certain
gamblers must register as such
and buy $50 occupational stamp
each year, and then pay a tax
amounting to 10 per cent of their
total take.
The bureau said In its report Of
the eight-month period:
when reviewed in the light OF
expectations of the legislators, the
wagering tax provisions have failed
to produce the desired results. /.
II appears that the tax yield In a
full year of operations win be about

beautiful appearance and which
they richly mount on intricate
carved stands as an ornament In
their homes, but for its religious
signifance as well. It's regarded
by them as an emblem of the
voice of BUDDHA preaching the
laws of his doctrine. They believe
that the conch shell throughout
ages innumerable and over many
lands were holy things principally
because of the whorls in the shell,
moving from left to right, possess
ing mysterious sympathy with
the Sun in his daily course through
heaven. The conch shell was for
centuries one of the insignas Of
Chinese Royalty, used no doubt
because it is one Of the suspicious
signs on the Footprint OF Buddah,
allegedly found in stone in India
and preserved in a Monastery In
China. The Chinese never regard
the Conch shell as a harbinger OF
misfortune, but on the contrary as
the symbol of good luck and OF a
prosperous voyage.
And so here we have roughly
depicted two contrasting forms OF
superstition two contrasting mode
of thinking. To some of our Island
people, misfortune and Ill luck.
To the Chinese happiness, a
prosperous voyage and the voice
of their religious leader. And yet
basically we know by a simple
process of orderly deductive rea-
soning that both modes Of
thinking are entirely without Prin-
ciple or reasoning foundation. Both
are in the realm of the mystic
entirely in the ignorance Of the
human mind yet uninstructed in
the reality Of being.
Someday we shall happily arrive
at the great fundamental truism
that we are the arbiters Of our
| own fate, for has not our Heavenly
Father given to each one of us
Dominion over the fish of the
sea and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all
the earth and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.

A recent front page news item
In the CITIZEN told of the
abundance Of "conch shells" in the
waters surrounding Key West, and
reported that cench shell fishermen
are reaping good returns from their
fishing ventures and laying up a
large supply of shells for the com
ing fall and winter tourist trade.
The news interested me, as i'm
mediately my thought reverted to
the Island old superstition still
prevalent among many of our
people here In Key West that a
conch shell in the home, or in ones
possession, brings misfortune or
iii luck.
Strange that anyone IN this en-
lightened Twentieth Century should
believe that q lowly conch shell
an inaminate object possessing in
itself no inherent power q beauti-
full shell in my opinion and which
our tourist friends buy and prize
should possess the power to hurt
or harm, or for that matter as the
Chinese believe. bring good luck
to one.
"As 4 man thinketh in his heart
so Is he'' SO the Book of Proverbs
tells us. And that Is certainly true
with superstitious beliefs. Shake
speare wrote "There is nothing
good or bad but thinking makes
Il So. II we believe that a conch
shell can bring us bad luck or
vice versa it will be so to us, and
we can apply the same line Of

find on the beach. All are truly
superstitious state of thought OF

from ignorance or unnecessary
