WaShin gton-And Friday

VNTASHINGT0NS birthday, today, falls on Friday.
wv Strange, how many of consider Friday an
unucy day. for Friday has been uncanniy lucky in the
history of America especially that part of our history
with which George Washington directly concerned.
Washington was born Friday. And the war for the
independence of America, in which he our leader,
saw these famous events Fridays:
Bunker Hill seized and fortified
The surrender Of Saratoga took place. largely respon-
sble for inducing France TO throw its strength TO the
colonists in their fight for independence.
Benedict Arnolds treason discovered.
The surrender made at Yorktown, decisive in the
for independence.
The Declaration of independence was moved in
gress by John Adams.
Other famous historical dates in American history
occurred Friday Columbus sailed westward on that
date and discovered America Friday. On the return
to Europe he landed Friday. ST. Augustine, oldest
city, founded on Friday.
The Pilgrims sailed into Providence town harbor
Friday, and it Friday when they landed at Plymouth
Rock.
Still there those who consider 1t unsafe to start
journey business venture Friday. The super
stion that Friday is unucy undoubtedly is of religious
origin in connection with the Crucfixon historians say
1t has persisted for centuries.

Bank Clearin gS

GO much money changes hands, it's wonder more of it
~ doesn't my way, the average reader viii reflect
as he ponders this:
Bank clearings (money changing hands in the form
of bank checks recently have been the rate Of $50
billion dollars year in the United States. Nnety-five
per cent of financial transactions are by bank checks
So the American people are spending about 44 billions
year-or $4,000 for every man, woman and child.
Very few families spend that much The explanation
of the figures is that bank clearngs represent lot Of
duplication For instance, $50 suit Of clothes might
show up S120 Of cearngs covering the sum total of
transactions all along the ine-wool buying sale Of suit
by manufacturer, by retailer etc.

THAW ON MAIN STREET
SLAYER OF STANFORD WHITE
 LIVING IN DROWSY TOWN.
FORMER WIFE VERY DIFFERENT
Evelyn Nesbit, Now Faded Beauty Seeks to Drown Her Sorrows In "Jazz" Palaces and "Wild"
 Parties on Old Broadway.

Born to the purple, champagne. and the hot breath of the cities, the worlds most notorious multi-million- aire-Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stan ford White-seems destined to end his career in the drowsy, conserva- tive hamlet of Winchester, Va. There he betook himself when a Pennsylva nia grand jury granted his sanity and gave him his freedom.
 At the same time, only a few hun dred miles from Winchester, along the brilliantly lighted boardwalk at Atlantic City and among the razzle- dazzle cabarets of Broadway, where Thaw once reigned, is the woman whose name has been linked with his for the IS years since White was killed For her Thaw said he fired that fatal shot in a Madison Square roof garden. She is Evelyn Nesbit. Thaw, arch-type of city rounder in his youth, plans to spend the rest of his years in the Main street of a small town. Evelyn, fresh from just such town as Winchester, when Thaw first met her, says she will never leave the white lights.
 Fate, so it would appear. has taken hand in the course of these two lives. Now friends of the two wonder over two questions. Will Thaw stick to the small town, and will Evelyn cling to the bright lights?
 Thaw is getting into the good graces of the people of Winchester. He has joined the towns Presbyte- rian church and a volunteer fire com pany. He has bought one of the most handsome mansions in the lit tie village and has settled down with his mother and personal servant, to live the life of a retired gentle man. Winchester is far from being "jazZy," but Thaw is trying his best to become one of it's premier citi- zens
 Evelyn Nesbit, on the other hand, is plunging deeper into the gay whirl of the cabarets than ever before. She is spending all her time dancing, and even has tried hand at running her own cabaret Her face and figure are familiar in the gayest of amuse- ment places, and her name once more is becoming we'll known in the whirl.
 Thaw faces a struggle, for all his life he has been accustomed to hay ing lot of sport. His money made it easy for him to realize all his am- bitions. But now he is in a small town. There are no jazz" palaces and wild" parties. It remains to be seen if he will be able to change himself into one of the pillars of Main Street"

She was reared in a small town and knows the peace of such a community Her friends are wondering if some day she will not put aside her resolution to eat, drink and be merry. How long will it be- before she, like Harry, seeks the quiet and peace of a Main Street. thy ask.
