Grouped in Types The beliefs fall into varieties, said the speaker. The first, best known, and most obvious type of superstition is what he called "balderdash," or just plain silly.

This type includes the ladder, mirror, Friday journey, itching, stumbling on stairs, sneezing, open-umbrella-in-housc, and many of the weather beliefs. Some superstitions commonly accepted and seemingly without reasonable basis, really had a sensible beginning. Some weather omens are based on sweating water pipes do presage rain at times, because they show abundance of moisture in the atmosphere. Some omens were brought to America intact from remote countries, and do not apply to conditions as they exist here. Others, especially if developed in this country, may even be fairly reliable.

So everything about weather called "superstition" Is not really unfounded. The taboo against serving oysters in warm months dales from a decree of a 15th century monarch seeking to conserve the oyster supply, Harper said, addinc that he could prove this and all other statements in his speech. Cites Witchcraft The malignant form of superstition appears in the, form of witchcraft. Harper citcci cases of voodoo "hexing," and declared that it came from the victim's acceptance of the superstition that he could be harmed supernaturally, so that his worry destroyed him. He cited a hexing case that came to official attention in, Galesburg several years ago when a woman who believed in witchcraft seemed to suffer injury which she ascribed to that cause.

It is well not In believe in superstitions unless they are the type that have foundation in fact, the speaker concluded. One That All Accept Founded on superstition is the custom of necktie wearing. Wild Magyars in Europe were successful fighting men, and the French sent spies to find out why. The spies said it was because of magic cloths the Magyars wore about their necks. French soldiers by whole regiments started wearing cravats to have the same luck the Magyars had.

Thus. the fashion began. While you might today argue for the wearing of a tie, said Harper, it serves no purpose but adornment, and is in our clothing agenda solely because of the superstition the French attached to the Magyar neckcloth practice. Among practices which are based on superstition, the source of which is not commonly known, Harper listed cornerstones, from the ancient Greek practices of interring a human in a building foundation to have a "spirit" in the building; deference to roving black cats, due to Egyptian Pharaohs' designating black cats as sacred animals; "three on a booths and equipment, was Vote Cost Up 72 Cents Per In Primaries The primary elections April 13 were among the most costly on a per-vole figure in Galesburg history, according to figures obtained today in the office of Glenn Mills, city election clerk. Cost was 72 cents per vote despite a good turnout at the polls.

The expense was only 52 cents average for the comparable primaries in 1950. 4 Ballots Hike Cost Adding to the expense for the last balloting were two main factors (I) number of ballots four with two issues added to the regular two-party primary ballots and (2) increase in number of Galesburg polling places with four added, making a total of 38.

Although the per-vote cost was high, the total election expense at the end of the year may not be as high as that of 1952, when there were four elections. This year should have only three the pri maries, a judicial election in July, and the general election in November. Per-vote costs of 1952 elections averaged 44 cents, substantially lower than the 72 cents average of the last vote turnout. Paring the average in 1952 was a huge turn out of more than 90 per cent of eligible voters for the general election. in the Legion Home, 571 E.

The Weather Peach Harvest Will Hit 750,000 Bushels The 1954 commercial peach crop in Illinois will probably total 750,000 bushels, the same as last year, according to Harold Kaeser, general manager of the Illinpis Fruit Growers Exchange, Carbondale.

"There has been very little freeze damage so far when the crop as a whole is considered," Kaeser reports. Kaeser said the volume will depend on moisture received between now and harvest. He adds that the Centralia area is in greater need of moisture than the area around Carbondale and farther south. These are the prospects as they appear at this time, Kaeser emphasized, and of course could change considerably before harvest. CHICAGO AND fair and warm this afternoon with high In the mid 70s.
