Americans like to see people rise
from lowly places to positions of high

these same Americans evince very
keen interest in the fall Of high peo-
pie to the lowly terra firma. There

audience will be royalty entertained

IICKY FRIDAY

Are YOU afraid of Friday? Brides
consider it unlucky. So do bushes:
men. who dread it as day for start
ing important deals, The. aversion tt
Friday is found in nearly all nations
though Thursday is feared by Scandi'
navians and Tuesday by the Spanish
The canny Scotch also fly in the teeth
of popular superstition, nine-tenths OF
Scotch weddings being crowded into
Friday. ". 49,. :.
To the Mohammedans alone is Fri.
day the lucky day. They celebrate II
rs the birthday of the creation OF
man.
Sailors Of all countries dread the
day. They talk in awed whispers
about Isaac Harvey's ship. Its keel
was laid on Friday by captain who
wanted to kill the old superstition
The ship floundered on its first voy-
age. ..,
Fridays reputation as disastrous
day apparently originated in the early
days Of the church, when Friday was
set as the date of the Crucifixion.
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. 1t
was on a Friday in 869 that Gould and
Fisk cornered the gold market and
shook Wall Street to its foundation.
But now comes calendar sharp:
claiming that Friday is Americas
lucky day. It was on Friday he point.
ed 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 resolution by which
the Thirteen Colonies declared their
independence. The Revolutionary
, War was decided on an historical Fri
day when CORVALLIS surrendered.
Woodrow Wilson claims 13 as his
lucky number. President Harding
may we'll 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 nation as it did for Warren G
Harding. -
