TODAY is FRIDAY, 18TH

Keep your fingers crossed
Look out for ladders and spilled
salt
And run If you see a black cat.
For today Is Friday the 18th, the
star Jonah combination of them all.
That is, If you're superstitious.
But If you're inclined to scoff at
the Friday jinx idea, here are a few
arguments in your favor:
Columbus expedition which dis
covered America set sail on Friday
and landed on Friday.
Richard Henry Lee introduced
the Declaration of Independence on
a Friday.
CORVALLIS surrendered on Friday.
And to argue against the 13 SUI
prostitution:
There were 10 original United
States.
There are 10 stripes in our flag,
and, originally it contained 10 stars.
President Wilson considered 10 as
his lucky cumberland he was right
about it-California's thirteen cleo
toral college votes reelected him.
As for Friday the 18th:
General Pershing vas born on
Friday 10.
Where the Friday IS idea came
from is still in doubt. The most
probable explanation Is that the
Cr%ucifxion gave rise to the Friday
part, and the 13 part from the fact
that the Hebrew words for death
and for thirteen" were identical.
