SOLDIERS ARE
SUPERSTITIOUS

LOndon.-Certain interesting super.
stitions prevalent among British colo
NAL troops at the front are described by
Edward Lovett, an official of the I'm
perial War museum at London, In the
Morning Post. He says:
"Many Of the superstitions held by
British soldiers are also held by our
troops from overseas and by men of
the allied forces. One, day happened
to meet an Australian soldier who wore
the figure on the collar Of his tunic.
This 5 Is known on the continent as
regiment Is considered to be the lucky
regiment. The logic Of the Pentad Is
as follows: Figure 1 stands for God
absolutely alone. Figure 2 Is the mind
of God In operation as shown by the
works Of nature. Figure represents
man as the highest work of God. TAX
ing, therefore. figure as being unique,
the figures 2 and 3. that is, Gods work

3 Is said to represent everything. In
this country we do not fully appreciate
the meaning of the figure 5.
Lucky Australian Five.
ITO come back to our Australian SOL
dier. He told me that he knew nothing
OF the Pentad. and he was rather in
clfned to sneer at luck In general. But
he told me that his company, which
was the Fifth, was very lucky. anti day
after day the men had many narrow
escapes from death or wounds. The
company, in fact, had lost only Is men
out of 18O, while the Second company
had lost much larger proportion. He
also told me that the No. 13 was con-
by them a lucky number, and
most Of the men In the Fifth company,
curiously enough. had 13 In their regi-
mental numbers. his own number be-
ing 51327.

some men from New Zealand and Aus
tralia, wars entertained for the night

me that he carried charm, and l said |

While few American steamers have

LIGHT UNTO A
DELUDED GIRLHOOD

The men, if questioned, all will say
the girls they hope to wed some day
must, above all, be perfect cooks
no matter if they're short on looks.
Their clothes must be severe and
plain and all their actions sound and
sane. But when these men pick out
their wives, each mothers son Of
them connives to wed a pretty form
and face who feeds him naught but
mayonnaise. He passes up the para
CONS and to dimple chin succumbs.
So girls, if you are hunting beaux
keep lots Of powder on your nose.
Your sister who is making pies had
better learn to use her eyes. "The

Sleep is a queer thing. Too often it

to keep awake in church only to lie
awake for hours after going to bed

sleep, it seems, is to feel that you

awake seems to be an effective seda-

MUCH DEPENDS ON ONESELF

cient Superstitions Concerning
@Blue Monday"

| happened to find most enter
tanning old book in the free library
"a dictionary of superstitions. It
has three big volumes, all crammed
with the fears and beliefs Of the hui
man race. Just to sample some of
them that apply to Monday, here are
few:
"If things commence to 20 wrong
on Monday they will go wrong all
the week, but If you have good luck
On Monday you will keep it up
PAY no bills on Monday if you
can help It,
(This is congenial advice and cas-
lily followed.
IF you meet a cross-eyed person
on Monday you will not have good
luck till Thursday"
IF the sun sets clear Friday night
it will rain before Monday night. "
1T is bad sign to lose a tooth
on Monday"
(Yes or hand or leg either, I
should say
IF you lose your temper three
times on Monday you will have a
great family quarrel"

lent chance of being true, one would
think, Still, there may be some men
who could get away with three blow
outs and have no comeback)

collected wisdom of the ages your
Monday is neither more or less than
