Washington. Feb. 1S.-The interstate

that as result of its Investigations Of

mestic traffic it had been decided to
leave the matter inabeyance for a time

for by law. but so far no tcomplied with:
The decision adds:
Public policy urgently reqdires that
the inlands transportation of import and

cOmplished by an amendment OF the act,
since the provisions of that statute are
mandatory and the commission has no
power to modify their requirements.
IF carriers are to any extent relieved

FRIDAY As A DAY.

Ne superstition Is commoner or more
widely spread than the belief in the I'M
thickness Of Friday, which is usually at
tributed 10 the fact that the crucitiXion
took place on that day, and sometimes To-
the character of Freya. the Scandinavian
goddess from who the day takes its name.
Another explanation is found in the le-
rend that Adam and Eve ate the for
hidden fruit on a Friday ana died on
Friday. There is still another side Of
the shield. however. When Louis Nil
Of France lay dying on Thursday. May
a. 1913. he summoned his physicians says
his bioCrapher. and asked them If they
thought he would live till the next day,
and explaining that Friday had always
been his lucky day: that all the enter
priSes he had begun on that day had
proved successful: that he had been vic
torious in all battles fought on that day,
and that is was the fortunate day. in
short and on i, he would wish to die.
The wish was not granted. Tor the king
died q few hours before Friday dawned
Another believer in Friday was Count
jules Andrassy. who. when his daughter
was married - Court Louis Batthyani. in
Jnue. 1872. insisted that the wedding
should take place on Friday because. he
said. ali the happy events of his own life
had taken place on that day.
But these instances IF "a belief in the
personal good fortune attaching 10 Friday
are bat a very slight set-off 20 the almost
universal feeling against the cay. Al
though Count AndrasSy had found it
lucky. his fellow countrymen. the
