Show The Bulletin belief In good and evil spirits In the world. Prehistoric man, far back In the Stone age, was ridden by superstitions, as be began to put two and two together, and saw more than coincidences when evil followed some particular situation. In time he began to try to control the powers himself. There were always enough misfortunes, small or large, happening to any man to' prove that he was cursed If he was gullible enough to believe that Prehistoric' man was gullible. So were the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians. So were the people of the Middle ages. In medieval England, said Doctor Duncan, the clergy went Into the fields and Invoked blessings on those who regarded the landmarks and curses on those who moved or otherwise transgressed the boundaries. Centuries later, Shakespeare wrote 107 passages dealing with the live topic of curses, and had one put on his own tomb. And has modern man outgrown his faith In curses as a means to getting what be wants? Far from It In Pennsylvania a boy shoots a woman because for seven years, he says, she hexed him and cast evil spells. STILL FAITH IN CURSE POTENCY Modern Man lias Not Outgrown Old Superstition. Ancient Egyptians are acquiring an undeserved reputation for efficiency In curses, remarks Science Service. The curse of a pharaoh's tomb is today spoken of with' awe ss somein thing superior and malevolent power. But the Egyptians were no more given to concocting curses than any other people, and there is no reason for slngliug them out, according to Dr. George & Duncan, professor of Egyptology at the American university. Dr. Duncan has made a survey of curses in Egypt, Babylonia and Israel, and he reported the results recently before the American Oriental society, meeting in Philadelphia. , There are 195 curse verses In the Bible, mostly In the Old Testament. Doctor Duncan has counted them. Again and again Bible characters went up to a mountain top, to be near the source of power, and from that hlgii place' called down wrath of heaven on evildoers. Gerlzlm and Ebal, two peaks, came to be associated with such rites. Cerlzlm was a mountain for blessing and Ebal for curses. Curses were common in Babylonia, reported Doctor Duncan. It was customary to put curses' on landmarks and boundary lines, so that anyone who interfered with them would be punished. There were no fences, but the people believed that one who broke the property laws would be visited by Sickness or other misfortune as a result of the curse. The curse was depended on to work, whether the law ' actually caught the offender or not.' Origin of the dependence on curses Doctor Duncan attributes to old, old extra-sinist- er - now Joseph Morris, on employed on road work near Alnwick, says be Is the heir to an American fortune reputed to amount to $75,000,0001 Morris claims that he is the treat nephew of Mrs. Ellen Devine, the widow of John Devine, the salmon king" of Towanda, Bradford county, Pa., who died In 1914.

About noon each day members of the exchange begin to gather around this desk, John T. Flynn writes, In Collier's Weekly. A few of them represent large New York banks with money to lend. The others are looking for credit. Around that time the bu ks know how much they have to lend and the brokers are beginning to know what accommodations they will need. Over that money desk flow countless millions of dollars. It Is by this mechanism that the New York banks have their pipe lines running Into the exchange, with their agents there to manage the spigots.
