LUCK AND THE WOMAN.

Every woman has her pet supersti-
tions. Something, to her, stands for
luck-a horseshoe picked up, a four
leaved clover found a pin gathered
up from the floor, a black cat stray
ing into the house, a birthday stone,
a lucky date or number. etc. She
believes in 1t herself because she can
prove 1t to herself by definite exam
pies, and in this she Is usually cor
rect. What she calls luck has really
come to her the very day or week in
which she has found the horseshoe
or put on the birthday ring. It is not
mere coincidence. 1t has happened
as she says. The only thing she fails
to see is just why and how 1t has hap
pened.
The most important thing in life is
ones attitude toward 1t, says Harpers
Bazaar To the wrong attitude life
brings nothing To the right attitude
1t brings everything. The blind doc
trine of luck is the handmaiden of
this clear truth. The woman who
finds a four-leafed clover and is con-
vinced that life holds something
pleasant for her in the near future,
gets at once into the right attitude.
She looks out for something good to
come along and so she sees 1t and
grasps 1t. If she had not found the
clover and had gone duly and fret
fully along instead she would never
have noticed the pleasant thing at all.
That Is the whole psychology of luck.
It seems too simple to be true-but
really its simplicity IS its sign-man-
ual of verify. TI'WETNTW
Expect good, look for good, believe
in good--and life becomes good and
grows ever better. There are always
opportunities along the daily road
for the eye made keen by pleasant an
Sometimes a big, happy
coincidence comes along to boot, but
whether it does or not, there is enough
daily "luck" on any woman's path to
be more than worth her while. Cats
clover, pins and horseshoes are simply
symbols of this steady and enduring
truth. which needs none of them

the woman who is wise.

ST. cRoIx OIL SOAKED.
Former Engineer on Burned Craft Tes
titles Tanks Leaked.

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-That the
fuel oil tanks of the steamer st. Croix,
which was destroyed by fire off the
coast of southern California, leaked
badly and allowed seven barrels of oil
to ooze into the bilge during one trip,
was the statement made today to the
federal inspectors by John D. Druillard,
formerly first assistant engineer of the
burned craft.
Druillard was not on the st. Croix
at the time of the disaster. He stated
that the condition of the vessel was
such that he did not care to go to sea
aboard of her, and left the employ
ment of the company after making his
fourth trip.
Druillard said he discovered the con-
dition of the tanks and reported 1t to
Chief Engineer Doe, who ordered that
they be loaded only to the point where
the leaks were located. This order
was later eountermanded by Captain
Warner, according to the witness, and
the tanks filed to the top. The wit
ness stated that he measured the oil in
the hold, and found it was several
inches deep. From this he computed
the total leakage at ~ barrels. Or
ders were issued against open lights
below decks, but Druillard said that
he twice found lamps burning and
threw them overheard.
Druillard believed that a lighted Gig
arctic might have been thrown down
ventilator by passenger and caused
the fire.
The inquiry closed today.
