uNLuckY DAYS

Just who introduced unlucky days into the calendar is moi known. but there they are, and there is no author icy potent enough Co lessen their sway. 'Tis said that old monks used ta assert, long before the birth of the Julian calendar. thnt Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit on Friday. and that Cain was born on Monday, and also that Abel was slain on Mon day.
 Some of the unlueky days have found their way into rhyme;
 Monday for health,
 Tuesday for wealth. etc.
 There was once a widespread belief that q child bora on Saturday would be compelled to earn it's bread by the sweat of the brow ali through life.
 The number of intelligent people who believe in uniueky days is much larger than one would suppose. Your friends who put off over Friday a visit somewhat important would not con.

unionists are not more steadily en-
ployed. The same is true in West
Virginia, where rates have been cut
as low as $288 day for underground

Similar rates are paid in the anti
