IN DEFENSE OF THE LUNCH
Maybe 1t Is Superstition, But If You Are Wise You Will Heed Yours
 Next Time.

Play your hSnches" is good rule to follow. It is not direction to the superstitious alone. Indeed, it is to be doubted that the superstitious derive much benefit from their lunches. They have so many charms upon which to place reliance that they look rather un- fayorably upon such practical help as a hunch. The practical minded, no doubt, will deny that hunch has any value, but that is because they are not as practical as they think they are. Common sense does not ignore lunches, and without common sense one cannot have practical sense.
 A hunch is an impulse to the judg- ment, declares a writer in the Pitts burgh Gazette Times. It is an invol- untary mental operation, an instan- taneous appeal to and inclination of the judgment upon the outcome of which momentous consequences for veal or woe may depend. It may be instinctive or it may be intuitive, but it is an imperative demand for action. It does not always compel the right action, though usually it does. It is a sleepless outlook, an ever-alert moni- tor within the human mind that sounds . warning and points the road of safe
