RETURN OF NICK CARTER

Detective Nick Carter whose exploits a gen
GRAFTON ago were translated into IL languages,
is being shown in the movies. His re-birth
extends to fiction, reprints now selling into the
millions Of copies. They are printed from
original old plates and much of the action seems
antiquated today For instance, when Nick
wants to hurry to another village to arrest the
hackmailer, he rushes to the livery stable and
hires boss an buggy
The theory back of the reprinting of Nick
Carter is that new crop Of readers has grown
up.
This theory also explains why old jokes go
the best-in burlesque, in print and in movie
'digests."
You of mature years have heard the joke
before. You snort. But the bewhiskered gag
starts roar of laughter all around you That's
from the rising generation, to which the old
stuff is new
In the days when the pyramids were built
the Egyptian kings roared with glee at the
seven original jokes-the mother-in-law or
relatives joke, the twins or mistaken identity
joke, the pun or plan on words, the ancent-egg
or clearinghouse joke, the joke than mustn't

LUCKY FRIDAY

Are you afraid of Friday? Brides consider
it unlucky. So do business men, who dread 1t
as day for starting important deals. The
aversion to Friday is found in nearly all ma
tions, though Thursday is feared by Scandinav
ians and Tuesday by the Spanish The canny
Scotch also fly in the teeth of popular super
stition, nineteenth of Scotch weddings being
crowded into Friday.
To the Mohammedans alone is Friday the
lucky day. They celebrate it as the birthday
Of the creation of man.
Sailors of all countries dread the day. They
talk in awed whispers about Isaac Harvey's
ship. It's keel was laid on Friday by captain
who wanted to kill the old superstition. The
ship foundered on it's first voyage.
Fridays reputation as disastrous day ap-
parently originated in the early days of the
church, when Friday was set as the date of
the Crucifxion.
Business mems aversion to Friday is traced
to the two Black Fridays on the New York
Stock Exchange. The panic Of 1873 started on
Friday. It was on Friday in 1869 that Gould
and Fisk cornered the gold market and shook
Wall Street to its foundations.
But now comes calendar sharp, claiming
that Friday is Americas lucky day. 1t was on
Fridays, he points out, that Columbus sailed for
and discovered America. The Mayfower ported
at Provincetown on Friday. 1t was on Friday
that Richard Henry Lee introduced the resolu-
ton by which the Thirteen Colonies declared
their independence The Revolutionary War
was decided on an historical Friday when Corn
wallis surrendered.
Woodrow Wilson claims 10 as his lucky num-
Der. President Harding may. well claim Friday
as his lucky day, for it was on Friday that he
was inaugurated president. Let's hope that
particular Friday proves as lucky for the ma
ton as it did for Warren G. Harding.

More Grief for

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Dublin-Flying columns of the Irish
republican army are officially reported
operating in Fermanagh, Armagh, Ty-
rome, Kildare and Queens counties.
There has been much destruction of
roads and in many cases intimidation
has been resorted to. The columns in
variably disappear on the approach of
crown forces, official reports say A
fight occurred last night in the hills
near Dundrum, four miles south of
Dublin. Crown forces had proceeded
to investigate reports of firing. They
found twenty armed men, some of
whom after firing at the military,
mingled with picknicking women and
children, for which reason the crown
forces refrained from using their ma
chine guns. They pursued the others,
however, and shot two. The rest set
fire to shrubbery on a hillside and
escaped in the smoke screen.

Kansas City, Mo.-Realizing the need
OF looking after the welfare of the ar

according to announcement of the
Kansas State Agricultural College CO.
operating with the Methodist church.
harvest labor centers, where harvest
hands, strange to the community, may
secure the ordinary comforts any
transient requires, will be established
IN every important town and city in
the Kansas wheat belt under the an
nounced plan. Stations were opened
IN several communities last year and
1T was reported they resulted in bet
ter satisfied class of laborers and less
petty crime than in former years. In
one town the first floor of the county
court house was fitted up as a rest
room and at another tent was erect
ed for the purpose. A church base
ment was used in another town.

Japan Denies That
Yanks Not w elcOme
legged Mistreatment of Americans
Is Mistake.

Tokio.-Reports from the United
States of alleged mistreatment in
Japan purporting to come from re-
turned travellers from the Orient have
caused c. Inomata of the Japan tourist
bureau to issue a denial of such charg-
es. Mr.. Inomata's statement is con-
tanned in letter written to San Fran
cisco for the purpose of letting would
be travellers know that contrary to the
stories circulated in the United States
in some quarters, travel in this coun-
try is as safe as it ever was.
In explaining the letter Mr.. Inomata
said that if such reports continued in
the United States it would mean ser
ious injury to tourist trade, not only
to the travel in Japan but to the en-
tire Orient, for the reason that Japan
has in the past been one of the chief
attractions to those contemplating
Oriental tours.
owe feel that Japan is being mis-
represented in america" the state
ment says in part. "This emphasizes
the Importance, not to say necessity,
of more Americans coming to Japan
Japan should not be judged by utter
ances, spoken or printed, of prejudiced
or self-interested people. The truth of
these utterances should not be blindly
accepted, but tested by personal obser-
walton and experiment. American
tourists in Japan, many of whom call
at our offices. are unanimous in their
expression of satisfaction regarding
the treatment they have received in
this country. Americans are assured
of courtesy and politeness and the
goodwill of our people,"
