ROCK ISLAND PASSES
HOODOO IN SAFETY

Rock Island today passed through
double hoodoo.
1t was third and last double-iinX
that the city endured during the past
year Today was Friday the 18th.
But the city weathered the day with
no great catastrophes and while some
tackled every move superstitiously
still there were others that went about
with the same old manner as they did
on Thursday the 18th.
There were two other similar days
during the year. In February there
was a Friday the 18th and one in
March, and on both these days the
city was apparently immune from I'M
fortunate occurrences which would in
dictate that Rock Island had the jinX
on the blink.
