Modern Man Haa Not Out
grown Old Superstition. v
Ancient Egyptfaua are acquiring an
undeserved reputation for efficiency
in corses^ remarks Science Service.
The curse of a pharaoh's tomb Is
today spoken of with awe as some-
superTor and extra-sinister in
svolent power. Bot the Egyptians
were no more given to concocting
/curses than any other people, and
there is no reason for singling them
out, according to Dr. George S. Dun
can. professor of Egyptology at the
American, university.
Dr. Duncan has made a survey of
cursesTn Egypt, Babylonia and Israel,
and be reported the results recently
before the American Oriental society,
meeting in Phllndelphia.
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 high piaetr called down wrath
of heaven on evildoers. Gerizim and
Ebal, two peaks, came to be asso
ciated with such rites. Gerlzim whs
a mountain for blessing and Ebal for
curses.
Curses wem/eoininon jn Babylonia,
reported Do«or Duncan. It was cus
tomary u/put curses on landmarks
and boundary lines, so that anyone
who interl'ered 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 mlsfor
tune as a result of the curse. The
curse was depended on to work,
whether the law actually caught the
tha Middle ages, hi medieval
land, said Doctor Duncan, the
went into the fields and lovoto
blessings on those who regarded the
landmarks and curses on those who
moved or otherwise transgressed the
boundaries. Centuries Inter, Shake
speare wrote 167 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 he wants? Far from it In Penn
sylvania a boy-shoots a woman be
cause for seven years, he says,, she
hexed him and cast evil spells.
NEED NOT FEAR
CLIMATIC SHIFT
t the left, plr.ids everywhere in the
autumn style puseant, did one ever
see so many plaids as are flaunting
their gay colors and bold patternlngs
throughout fashion's realm this sea
son? Plaids tn alluring lightweight
woolens, in smart rayon weaves, stnn-
ning taffeta plaids and knitted plaids,
too, they are all among “those pres
ent” in the early fall collections with
very special emphasis given them in
the much-featured showings of campus
fashions.
Evidently, according to the fall style
program, the college girl Is supposed to
dine, to dance, to play golf and ten
nis, to motor, to study and even to
sleep In plaids. Not fiction Wit fact,
this about sleeping in plaids, for one
of the smartest Items to - enroll In a
college wardrobe is n sleeping and
lounging pajama outfit of gay plaid.
The most practlcaljire made of smart
cotton prints which are styled with
cunningly designed tunics which are
made delightfully feminine, wlrh such
dainty details as collar and cuffs of
scalloped white organdie pl|»ed with
“The plflffi. together with-a -wide sash nl
the piald material which ties gypsy
fashion In a big romantic how at one
/ide.
A leading question put up to the
college girl is as to whether she will
have her frock, suit or ensemble of all
plaid “alone hy Itself" or shall It be
partly of plaid and partly of a weave
in solid color. Either or both Is the
answer, for the advance showings pre
sent ns convincing arguments In favor
of one as the other. An outstanding
fashion is the dress which Is tailored
of a!l-piaid with not a frill or furbe
low to mar Its sophisticated simplicity.
You see the idea illustrated to the
right in the picture. The girl seated
is also wearing a frock of this type,
in brown and light beige, made in
shirtwaist fashion. The buttons are
delightsomely lightweight yfind there
fore pleasing to wear Mi the class
room. A bright blue, belt and scarf
enter attractively into the color scheme.
As a matter of fact the two-piece dress

CLIMATE NOT A
BIG FACTOR IN
COLD ‘CATCHING’
It's just as easy to catch cold In
California as in Boston; just as easy
to start snlfillng in New Orleans as In
Chicago, believes the I'ubllc Health
Service.
Climate apparently makes no dif
ference tn the ease witM which people
take cold or the number of colds they
have each year, it is concluded hy
the Service after a statistical study
of colds and related diseases ip va
rious sections of the country.
Only one apparent connection be
tween weather and colds was dis
covered. That was regarding temper
ature. It was found that the colder
the weath
Dry years are nothing new In the
experience of many , parts of this
country. The total rainfall for 1934
cannot yet be determined, of course,
but • study of weather records Indi
cates that there have been other dry
years, too.
The longest American weather rec
ord, as shown by the World Weather
Records of the Smithsonian institu
tion, is that for Charleston, S. Cm
which hka been kept for 19fl years.
The mean rainfall up to J025 was
48.42 inches, but with a spread of
slightly more titan 46 inches—from
a year’s total of 60.78 Inches in 1705
to 23.00 Inches In 1850.
Records have been kept in Boston
for 110 years. The average was 41.50
incites; the wettest
with a fall of 59.35 Inches, and
dryest 1$22, with 27.20 Inches. Burl
ington, Vt. with a mean-of—82.49
Inches, had 49.44 inches In 1833 but
only 20.!*!) Inches in 18S1.
Records for Detroit show a low of
21.03 inches in 1889 and a remark-
nbie high of 71.19 Inches in 1855.

seem to have. This was found to be
especially true in the fall. Whenever
there was an increase in colds and
related Illnesses, weather bureau rec
ords showed there was a drop In tem
perature during the same i»eriod.
Other features of climate and
weather seemingly have no effect on
-the frequency of colds. The humidity.

Tremendously clever things are be
ing done with plaid plus plain. Such
as the topping of a black velveteen
skirt with a striking plaid jacket such
as is shown in the foreground of the
group. The plaid wool jacket Is'In
black, green and white with black calf
belt The modish beret Is of green
duvetyn and of course. In answer to
the demand of present-day millinery
fashion, it needs must sport a dashing
little feather. The blouse, which you
cannot see In the picture. Is of match
ing green duvetyn. An ascot scarf of
black velveteen adds the finishing
touch to this ensemble. ^

reversetHn that the skirt is plaid and
the jacket is In the solid color. Here i
a dark brown cut-velvet Jacket sur
mounts a skirt In plnlded brown, green !
and beige. The turtle-neck blouse Is
of green Jersey. The eolor combina- |
tlon for this costume Is noteworthy
since It Is typical of the newest trends.
There Is a disposition on the part of
designers to combine any number of
rich autumn colors working nut ef
fects which flavor of the picturesque
Alpine costumes even to the soft felt
hats with their audacious little quills
and feathers.
And have you seen the perfectly
stunning velveteen and corduroy prints
done In bold plaids and checks? No
college girl once glimpsing them, will
not be able to resist this temptation.

Origin of the dei>endence on curses
Doctor Duncan attributes to old, old
belief In good and evil spirits in the
world. Prehistoric man, far back In
the Stone age, was ridden by super
stitions, as he begun to put two ami
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 misfor
tunes, 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
or amount of moisture in the air,
the amount of sunshine and cloudy
weather, rain or snowfall, and calm
windy wnathpr do-not affect the
population's coughs and snuffles.
The Public Health Service’s study
of colds was made in six vitles de
clared to represent “the extremes of
latitude, longitude and climatic con
ditions within the Continental United
States.” These cities are Boston, Co
lumbus, Ohio, Washington, Chicago,
New Orleans and San Francisco.
Students in universities In each of
tiie cities provided the data on colds
by reporting every two weeks on the
number of colds and related ailments
they had in the meantime. Besides
colds, this Included bronchitis, ton-
sllltis, sore throat. Influenza and pneu
monia, as well as combinations of
these diseases.

Belted front and unbelted backs are
regarded with favor by all who have
seen this new arrangement It adds
an extra fillip to the two-piece cos
