AX AMERICAN scientist—a pro-
essor in a college, recently re-
fused the sum of $2,000,000 for the
formula by which he has produced a
pew vitamine, which is helpful in the
prevention of many maladies due to
wrong dlet.
A food manufacturing company made
him this offer.
Had he accepted it, there 1s no
likelihood that any effor. would bave
been made to fix a high price on the
product containing the vitamine.
But a monopoly would have been
conferred, and that is what the dis-
coverer of the vitamine desired to
prevent.
Jde wanted the reSult of his

N SOME respects, no class of peo-
ple are quite so superstitious as
gamblers. Others may have more
superstitions In which they half be-
lieve, and one or two pet superstitions
in whieh they rather more than half
believe, but no class has such an abid-
ing faith in their superstitions and is
so governed by them in thelr actions—
no not even sailors. But the qualifica-
tion to this statement is this—that the
gamblers’ superstition Is quite likely
to be confined to gambling. With re-
gnrd to the ordinary affairs of life he
may be remarkably free of superstl-
tion, but when It comes to games of
chance, bets or other hazards he Is a
convinced slave of superstition.
To one who has watched the antics
of the “pesky” little marble In the
roulette wheel and the manner In
which the cards and the ponies will
sometimes run in seeming defiance of
the doctrine of chances, the law of
probabilities and the most carefully
prepared “dope” this is not strange.
One gambler's superstition is that it Is
bad luck to play against--that is at
right angles to—the grain of the
table. In other words to be lucky at
cards sit so that when you throw out
your cards ou can throw them down
in the same direction as the grain
runs in the wood of the table. Here
we have our old friend sympathetic
magic, plus a tinge of tree worship.
The cards and the grain of the wood
flow In the same direction—result har-
mony, sympathy, luck! If you throw
your cards across the grain of the
wood you play out of sympathy with
the course of the graln—at cross-pur
poses as it were, Result—bad luck! The
fact that the material upon which you
throw your cards Is the dead body of
a tree-god renders It all the more nec-
essary that your play should be in
the direction of its grain.
