PUT sBAD LUCK" IN DISCARD
pvAvn the Game Of Life Is Analysed,
4, 4. There 10 No Such Thing to
Be Found. &fFEsl

There is no such thing as "bad
luck" The belief in it is gross su-
pefstition. It is claimed that there Is
i lot of luck in poker. My observa-
ton has been that the man who wins
II poker consistently is merely the
best player Of poker. There are some
who have run of luck" But if
the .run" lasts three minutes the op-
aposite "run" generally lasts equally
long. If the good luck holds up for a
year, the bad luck appears during the
next year. Any habitual card-player,
unless he is a very poor player or
an unusually good one, will tell you
that his winnings and losses just
about counterbalance.
In poker, as in life, the final deter
mining factor is skill, knowledge Of
the game, patience, taking advantage
he opportunities. IF you havt a pre-
monition that you are going to fail
III an undertaking you are promising
yourself disaster in advance, you are
merely saying to yourself: II know
u am not equal to that. I'll foil down
I Oh II, sure" Dismiss the premonition.
Throw away the "charms" and tails
mans. Get on the job.-James Hay,

pitt q Spendthrift.

The complaint that many Of our
statesmen will not themselves set the
Fashion in economical living in war
time is not new one. Pitt, who
preached economy and forced it on the
people, was himself a notorious spend
thrift.
For a long time (while warden OF
the Cirque ports) his income was f1O,-
600 a year, and it never fell below f6'-
600. Yet he was always hard up, and
when he died the nation, in the throes
Of a great war, had to find some f4O,.
600 to satisfy his creditors.
Examinations of Pitts household
budgets-made from time to time at
his own request-showed such items
as hundredweight Of butchers meat
consumed in a single week-or, more
accurately, charged to Pitts account.

ALIBf PROVED FOR PRETZEL
Going Far Back Into Ancient History,
It Can Be Proved That II Was
Not Of German Origin.

Now comes the lowly pretzel before
the bar of public opinion in a valorous
attempt to remove the stigma Of Ger
man origin. It has delved deep into
ancient history to prove its alibi and
upon the face of the evidence pre-
scented it has made out reasonable
case for itself. Indignantly does the
pretzel deny that it sprang from I'M
hallowed association with German
beer; that use it declares is desc
Grafton of its originally high birth, a
degradation Enthusiastically Teu-
tonic. The pretzel insists that it is
inherently a baked prayer, for in the
early day Of the Christian church the
pretzel was used almost exclusively
as a reward Of merit given by priest
to children for learning their prayers.
In the monasteries of the middle ages
the pretzel was considered rare del
icacy, and during lent it was the usual
aims Offering. Furthermore the very
crookedness of the pretzel is crush
ing argument against it's calumniators,
for it represents the arms folded In
prayer. Thus stands the case for the
sanctity of the humble pretzel.

"A friend of mine is very fond Of lob.

one day last week, and she told the
servant girl to broil lobster for my
friends dinner She left note, telling
her husband Of the treat she had pro-
vided for him, and requesting him not
to wait dinner for her. Tie was quite
hungry when he reached home and, af-

II can't, sir" said the girl. "The
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
I got him on the gridiron after a dale
of fuss. The more Ibked the fire the
more he walked off, and thought the
haste was haunted and no good would
come from cooking straddle bug like
that"
"What did you do with it?" said my
friend, getting mad.

House Oldest In America.

Tradition, Endorsed by the press
and the testimony Of the Oldest In
habitants, gives authority to the state
ment that the oldest house, No. "a
North st. George street, st. Augustine,
Fla, is really the oldest house In
America. Built by the Dons in medic
val times (15s9) on the oldest street
of what was the site Of the Indian vii
lage Of Seloe, whose chief was Folio
mato, this ancient house has never
been remodeled or modenized.
The architecture is Of Moorish de-
sign, antedating the Spanish. With its
coquina-terrace floors, round carved
pillars in the patio, mahogany stair
way, hewn red cedar timbers, all
pegged together, secret closets and
other substantiating hallmarks, 1t is
unlike any other house in st. Angus
tine, and is truly one Of the sights OF
the ancient city.

United States AdmiraIs.

IA The first rear admirals in the United
astates navy were commissioned in 1862
when that rank was created by act OF
SfOngtess. David Farragut, for his valor
IN Tie Civil war, was made vice admir-
I'd In 1864, and two years later the
rank OF admiral in the United States
navy was established for the purpose
ss0f honoring him. The grade Of admiral
was revived in 1890 and conferred up
on George Dewey, the hero of Manila.
The highest rank Of American naval
godicers In active service was, up to
sshort time ago, that of rear admiral.
sThe title Of admiral was first used in
France, and the first French admiral
was appointed in 1884. A few years
later the title was adopted by the Eng
fish, and the rank Of admiral Of the
English seas was first given to William

DREADED ENEMY OF AVIATOR
Most Expert Airman, Caught in Fog,
~ 10 Practically at Mercy Of
Circumstances. .sS'i.>T

+ Nothing connected with the history
Of aviation is more remarkable than
the way In which the weather difficult
\ ties and dangers Of a few years ago
have been reduced to the level of
minor Inconvenience by the increased
kill Of aviators and especially by i'm
provements in airplanes. 1t is hardly
an exaggeration to say that at the
present time the only serious outstand-
ing meteorological problem Of the avi-
ntor is fog.
There is no means of keeping ones
bearings when flying in or over
fog, and the same is, of course, true
gof low-lying clouds. The compass
tells which way the machine Is point
ing at any moment but not the d.
rection In which it is flying, except
when travelling exactly with or
against the wind. There are no land
marks In the air. Even more serious

The chances are always considerable
aOf striking dangerous obstacles, such
az trees, buildings, or telegraph wires,
or Of alighting in bodies Of water,
swamps, etc. Moreover, as one vet

THERE TO STAY,

One hears so much about the beau
ties of California as place to hang
your hat that it arouses suspicion. But
Mary Anderson has evidently been
converted good and proper. This dain-
| ty little screen star, who has stepped
so gaily through so many Vitagraph
plays, decided to STAY in California al
ways. So she bought a house. Then
she decided not to stay any longer
with Vitagraph. That was rather hard
to become accustomed to after being
there so long, but whatever happened
she decided this much; that she would
not give up her home. 1t was a relief
to everyone concerned to know that
Universal wanted her and wanted her
at once. So now Mary has her home,
ia new job and contented heart.
Miss Anderson will first be seen in
"Playthings," a Bluebird photoplay,
with Lewis ]. Cody and FRITZ Brun-
cite. She takes the role of little
sister whom the villain is about to
pluck as he has others, when the
heroine comes along and smashes her
heart by warning her of the danger.
