Strangely enough, experience at the war front is
causing some singular changes in superstitions,
matter which will delight all the professors Of
psychology.
With the boys in the trenches, the number 13
has lost its fatefulness and instead their proverb
is "Beware of No. 3!' Soldiers have refused
10 take their third leave of absence, fearing it
would be their last.
More remarkably still, they've adopted the black
cat as mascot and luck-bringer, beastie which
hitherto, almost thruout the world, has been ace
high as harbinger of calamity. Ships have gone
without crews and wedding ceremonies without
brides, because of the black cat.
We once served as unrnly nephew to a dear
maiden aunt who would wade tamarack swamp
and swim an ice gorged creek in March before
she'd meet a black cat coming down a per-
fectly passable road. Accounts of legs, hands and
arms lost thru bites of black cats would fill large
library.
Yet the boys in battle array provide themselves
with black cats of ''lucky'' metal and nothing so
cheers and enthuses them as to meet black cat on
their marches into the trenches.
4 We can see some grounds for making 's3' fatal
number. We've often, very often heard, "Three!
You're out!' But, we're open to some psychology
cal explanation of the sudden exaltaton Of that in
fernal black cat.

Blaine Is Unfit

+. f. Blaine, chairman of the public service COM
mission by appointment from Gov Lister, has again
proved by his acts today that he is unfit to hold
public office.
He has come out flat-footedly as eager worker
for the T. r. & p Co., taking it upon himself
individual to ask the supreme court to knock out
the street car company's binding legal contracts
and franchise obligations to the city, and to raise
car fares!
Not only that, but in doing so he is fighting his
own commission, the majority of which has held it
has no legal authority to take such action.
Blaine is deliberately and brazenly knitting the
people he was appointed to serve. He is trying to
encourage brand of legalized lawlessness that
would make promises worthless and solemn con-
tracts nothing more than scraps of paper.
