UNLUCKY DAYS

The first of the six unfortunate days
astrologers, is tomorrow, the third day
of January The other '*unlucky days"
when me are supposed to be in grave
peril of death or misfortune, are the
firts day Of July, the last day of April,
the second day of October, the first
of August and the last day going out
of December" These six days with
great diligence ought to be kept" says
an ancient writer on astrology. Blood
letting andd rtnking of alcoholic bev-
erages were considered especially dan
erous on thesed avs, involving certain
death; land if men eat any goose on
these days, within forty days they
shall die; and if any child be born on
these days, they shall die a wicked
death" Proper observance of these
rules mean that of all the year, thou
shalt orderly be kept from fever, the
falling govt, the sister govt, and loss
of thy sight" It may we'll be imagined
that in a more superstitious age the
rules prescribed for keeping" the
"unlueky" days were rigidly lived up
to, so that, at any rate, If something
did befall men they at least knew that
the "un1uc1ky" days were not respon-
sible for their misfortunes. They nat
uarIly sought eiseeFhere to lay the re-
spensfbilfty, and usually they found
something upon which to hang their

BRITISH TOMMY
DOTES ON POSING
BEFORE CAMERA

Behind British Lines in France,
Jan. 4-(Correspondenc of the Asso-
ciated Press)-One of the f1ourishing
trades in the little towns and villages
behind the line in France is the pho
tographer's. The soldier has uni
versal fondness for having his pic
ture taken.
With the British Tommy, the visit
to the village camera man is a regu-
lar event of the greatest importance,
and requires great preparations. He
borrows the best pair of puttees in
his section, or, better still. a pair of
field service boots, brushes his
clothes with great care. cleans his
belt and bandolier, and poIishes his
buttons.
If he belongs to a mounted corps,
his spurs and cutting whip will make
a great display, for although every
body agrees that in this war the in
fantry is the most important branch.
there is still glamor attaching to the
mounted, man, even if his mount be
only a cart horse or a mule. Eques-
TRAN portraits are much in demand, it
is said, by the girls at home.
AS often as not, Tommy gets pho
tographed in group with four or
five men from his section. For one
thing, this is cheaper. For another,
it supplies a testimonial of the good
company he keeps, and of the fine
fellows that his section-always the
finest in the army''-is composed Of
