ARTMAN, ‘President, ‘Brom The Citizen Building Vorner Greene.and Ann Streets FACTS VERSUS FANCY Dabbling with spiritualism or -other one’s integrity of mind, .according ‘to ‘Dr. William J. Mayo, eminent surgeon and medical scientist, who-points-out that-many have been misled by imaginary phenomena. He mentions Sir Conan. Doyle, Sir, William ‘Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge as ‘three ‘outstanding examples of men of Science who interested themselves in ‘yy PSychic phenomena and came to believe in the reincarnation of the dead. -But.he —,| points out that these eminent men got that | way late in life, after their mental powers were on the wane. q Dr. Mayo further points out that many things we experience today . and under- stand as perfectly natural phenomena would have been attributed ‘to ‘the super- natural if‘they had -been produced earlier itimes. For example, if someone had invented the radio during the ‘Dark | Ages he would ‘have been . considered ‘| league with Satan and would probably have been burned at’'the stake. So, he con- ‘| cludes: “Whenever we do not understand ex- isting phenomena let us lay the lack where 1.

THE MURDER RATE According ‘to a report recently given ‘| out, the city of Quebec, with a population | of approximately 100;000, was the scene 1} of only one murder in-a whole year. In ‘the United States there are on an | average approximately 10 murders each. year-out of each 100,000 population, while in the cities of Memphis, Jacksonville and Birmingham the annual rate during the past 10 years has averaged nearly 60 mur- | ders per 100,000, or 60 times that of Que- ‘| bec.

Investigations pursued in consequence of these killings ‘have revealed that in cer- tain sections the belief in witchcraft and magic is as common as that which :pre- vailed during medieval times in Europe, or among African natives of the ‘present. One of the murders recently reported was committed in order ‘to obtain :posses- sion of a “magic book,” in ‘which -was printed: “Whoever:carries'this book is safe from all enemies; can not-die, nor ‘be drowned in any water, nor burn up in any | fire,” and so on. It is estimated that States not less than “priests and priestesses” of voodooism, for- | tune-telling, and other charlatanry make | @ living by playing upon the ignoranee.ani | credulity of superstitious people. They even number among their dupes many .per- sons of wealth, education and social pres- tige. There is no accounting for ‘how they | get that way. But, the fact remains:that in this good year 1934 America is a ‘land of auto- mobiles, airplanes, radio—and belief in witcheratft, man in the exciteme game fish can keep count of the exact num. ber of ‘times the fish jumps clear of ‘the! water. ‘ Jonah has heard that every sixth man carries a government employe on his back, and for'that-reason ‘hopes his allotment will be a little chap, as he is getting along. 20,000 professional } The Citizen’s nomination for the best bicycle ridér in Key West: Thomas E. in the.
