SERIOUS BLAZE AVERTED
SATURDAY ON R. r. STREET
Local Firemen Extinguish In
cipient Fire In Naylor Building

Fire of undetermined origin in the
basement of building in the rear of
NaylOr & Co.'S store, facing on Rail
road street, was eXtinguished by mem
bers of the Oakland Volunteer Fire
Department about eight o'clock Satur-
day morning before much damage had
been caused. The fire was discovered
by George Yutzy, who detected the
existence of the fire when he went to
the Dixon warehouse, adjoining the
Naylor property, and who at once
turned in the alarm.
Had the blaze been given fifteen
more minutes before its discovery,
Oakland would have had to combat
one of the worst fires in its history"
Fire Chief George Kerins said. "The
fire would have involved the main
building of the Naylor firm, DiXon's
warehouse the Frantz Hotel and a
number of other frame structures in
close proximity, and would have been
extremely hard to combat. 1t is fortu-
nate that it was discovered at the
moment it was"
1t is supposed that the fire was
caused by lighted cigaret which had
been dropped by someone along the
boardwalk of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company and which the wind
had carried beneath the building.

Friday, The Thirteenth, Cuts
Down on Marriages

Only four marriage licenses We're
issued from the offices Of E. z. Tower,
clerk of the Circuit court last Friday,
great "come-down" from the usual
eight or ten.
Last Friday, however, was Friday,
the thirteenth.
Not anybody around here is super
stitious. or anything like that, but 1t
was bad day, and not very good
one for getting married. Friday never
is a very good day for that, though a
few brave the superstition that dates
back to Morse mythology.
The explanation as to Friday being
a bad day, according to DR.. John
Harrington Cox, instructor IN Ola
English and Anglo-SaXon at the Uni
versity of West Virginia, Morgan
own, w. Va, is that the Norsemen
named the seven days after their seven
gods. Only one of these was a god
dess, Freya, for whom Friday or
Freya's Day, was named.
Freya, being female, was therefore
tickle, and it was considered bad medi-
cine to start anywhere on the day Of
her reign. That, combined with thir-
teen, mysterious number that could
not be divided by anything but itself,
made a combination that has extended
its black sway into the present.
Couples who had no superstitions at
all when it came to tieing the knot
were Herbert Mitchell and Wilma
Wilson, of Pullman, W Va; Raymond
T. Abel and Ethel Rankin, of Fair
chance, Pa; and John Kost and Will
ma Strawser, New Kensington, Pa.
One other couple requested that their
names not be published, which may or
may not be superstitious.
