DREAD OF MAGIC in 1921, more than The safest place in the world to hide your money from thieves, outside a bank, is in a coffin. Who says so? Chritopher Beck. And who’s Beck? An expert on the ycholegy of underworld super: Beck pry open a coffin encountered during a pillaging raid. And “it’s a certainty that no professional burglar would go near it. Burglars also avoid hduses where they know a death has “recently taken place. Like the rest of us, only more so, they recoil from death and all things connected with it. 1d Howe, the Kansas country philosopher, once said that itions. while all people talk too much he notices that every one | grows strangely quiet as soon as the conversation, drifts saround to death. A check-up of police records in important ‘cities show: that very few professional criminals “work’” on the 13th day of the month. There is reason to believe that the “13” superstition started in the underworld. Crooks are the most superstitious people on earth. are saturated with queer beliefs in luck, omens and the like. . Few house- breakers have the courage to rob a house -where they find a black cat lurking around the premises. Even more dreaded is a blind dog. Most crooks have an unlucky number which they fear. Usually it is the number of the policeman who arrested them :the first time. Suppose a crook enters your home in the dead of night If he finds a.clock stopped, he scarcely notices it. But if the “clock stops while the burglar is at work, he’ll break into a cold sweat and flee into the night. This peculia tion probably dates back to some tragedy that overtook a famous crook while on a “job.” * Minor thieves—especially pickpockets—consider it the worst of luck to steal a knife or rob a one-armed man. And nearly all crooks carry a mascot, the luckiest of which is supposed to be a ring made from a horseshoe nail. And so on, until a book could be written on the subject. Such a book should have a good sale. Professional crimi- nals law-abiding as day is from night. mysterious unknown. tion. SHORT ME u Jack Johnson, the prizefighter, testifies in a legal hear- ing in New York that he is “always afraid of a smaller man.” | Johnson says a big man never worries him, but that sma}! | men are more dangerous than big men because they are more cunning. “They can run around your legs quicker,” laments Jack. Boxing fans can elaborate this into a discussion of the relative importance of weight and punch, compared with “leg | i work” and speed in general. ‘ All of us can apply the idea to everyday life—the man of | quick decision and swift action beating the man of big standing, much influence and great power. Most of us, if we had to face Jack Johnson in a fight, would rather be eight feet tall and tip the scales at 250 pounds, instead of the small man who annoys him. Nevertheless, Jack’s views should increase the self-confi- dence of the gentlemen who have to stand on tip-toes in a crowd to see the girl-demonstrator, in the drug store window. The secondary importance of size or strength has been recognized by the philosophers since before Socrates. } Napoleon, “the little Corporal,” was short. And you know how an elephant is terrified by a mouse. Size and strength are secondary to speed and brain power. ‘And, of all human forces, brain power is the mightiest. Charles Darwin, one of the most powerful men that ever | lived, was a physical weakling, spending all but ‘a few hours | a day in bed during his most creative period. A child of 15 could have knocked Darwin through the ropes. He couldn’t carry a pail of water a block without collapsing. Yet Darwin exerted a greater power than all the prize fighters that ever lived. “Foolish young men, vanily boasting, “Feel my muscle,” ayill realize later in life that what really counts is brain, not the three minor children, and under brawn. \ i: The truly wise man will develop both brain and brawn. ‘Together they make an unbeatable team. i NOVELTY *Wetherell, survivor of the Peary polar expedition in 1849.

They never had, never will have, fifty dollars at one time.” Could anything more mischiev- ous be given wid@ publicity among people who read every day sensa- tional, colored news, and editorials which constantly impress upon them the idea that they are vic-} | tims of a vicious government and of repacious and predatory busi- | ness? i Suppose this editor, instead of ; declaring in effect that not one- {half of the American people will | ever have as much as fifty dolls had said this: “Every American boy, every ; American girl, in employment, may, in a few weeks, by saving and thrift, possess a genuine $50 bill.
