Throw Chalk for Luck.

In throwing Il piece Of chalk after
his men for luck as they poured into
the enemy's trenches. the Irish colonel
was but reyiving a superstition which
dates back TO the ancient days of
Thrace. where the custom originated
of marking lucky days with white
stone and unlucky with a black one.
In it's curly youth Rome adopted the
custom, and although chalk, not being
indigenous, was chiefly known, as its
name, creta, implies. as an import
from Crete, it was generally used for
the marking OF lucky days. Accord
ing to Horace, the marking was done
with chalk for good and coal for bad
luck.
