It was on a Friday that Christopher Columbus sailed westward into the unknown, on his voyage of dis- covery. He discovered America on Friday and returned safely to Europe on Friday. St. Augustine, our oldest city, was founded on Friday. The Pilgrims aboard the May-Flower sailed into Province Town harbor on Friday. It was Friday when they made their final landing on Plymouth Rock. George Washington, father of ouy country, was born Friday. Other famous events that happened on Friday: Bunker Hill was seized and fortified. The surrender of Saratoga took place, powerful in inducing France to throw her strength to the Colonists fighting for American independ- ence. Benedict Arnold’s treason was discovered. Surrender at Yorktown, decisive in the war for independ- ence, took place on Friday. | And it was on Friday that the Declaration of Independ- ; ence was moved in Congress by John Adams. ! And still there are many who consider it unsafe to start on a journey or embark on a new venture on Friday. The superstition that Friday is unlucky probably is of religious | origin, in connection with the Crucifixion, according to his- torians. It has persisted through so many centuries that it still survives despite its being disproved thousands of times. Superstition outlives granite. —— ee SKYSCRAPERS ON WANE The building of skyscrapers is “on the wane,” according | to Earle Shulz. He’s president of an association represent- | ing seven billion dollars worth of big buildings. He thinks most cities have caught up with the shortage of office space, and that few skyscrapers will be erected for some time to come. The skyscraper, America’s outstanding contribution to architecture, is an attempt to escape from exorbitant land Values. With land fabulously high priced, people build into the air instead of spreading out. SHEEP COUNTING In a contest in Australia, a man counts 19,217 sheep in an hour and 39 minutes, without a single error, and gets a : prize. Remarkable accuracy of eyesight and thinking. But the thing impresing us most is that counting over 19,000 sheep didn’t put him to sleep. Hereafter we'll try another system. The brain works strange tricks. Maybe you've had the experience of counting imaginary sheep to put you to sleep, and suddenly the sheep changed into cows. ‘ fi EXPORTS GRAIN NOW : _ Russia announces that in 1923 she exported about one and a quarter million tons of grain. Roughly a fourth of it ; went to Germany. * This doesn’t necessarily reflect a natural comeback of : Russia in the world grain markets. Maybe a lot of Russians ‘starved while this grain was being exported. China, during ; the worst famine, always manages to export eggs. PR ee PRODUCTION EXCEEDS CONSUMPTION F Nearly a billion gallons of gasoline in storage, here in ¢ the United States. An enormous figure. But Americans are : using that much “gas” every 60 days. : Production still exceeds consumption by about 100 million _ gallons a month. That should act as a brake on prices for some time. wea et ae : NEW FREIGHT CA The railroads in 1928 placed in service about 198,000 new freight cars and over 4000 new locomotives. This was more in any year since before the war. 4 It is important news, because shortage’ ee oe of railroad equip- | prices up.

When he recov- ered ang attempted to read his brevi- ary he found that he had forgotten all the Latin he had learned in college and seminary. After several attempts to say mass, the priest went to Rome in order to obtain from the Supreme Pontiff, authorization to say his mass in | French. He bore numerous medical certificates but Cardinal Gasparri in- sisted that the priest be examined by doctors attacheg to the Vatican. Their report was to the effect that the priest had “completely lost his Latin.” Piux XI granted the request and the priest, thanking Cardinal Gasparri, said that no other event in his life had caused him such happiness. f A THOUGHT | There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not—Eccl. 7:20, If we desire to judge justly, we must persuade ourselves that none of ug is without sin.—Seneca.

LETTER FROM MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON, JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT MY DEAR SON; I have been back from Dr. Knox where you probably know I went while Priscilla Bradford was tearing up my house, preparatory to moving out. Although that was two weeks ago, Iam feeling physically very much bétter. I am still rather mixed up in my mind. It is hard to change one’s mind, John, when one gets to be as old as I am. Although at firgt. was sure I was not going to like the young wo- man, whom you had asked to live with me, I am glad that: the doctor decided’ she should come, for I have been pleasantly disappointed. She is most considerate of my prejudices (and I-have come to think I have many) and careful, indeed, of my physical ailments, i John, since I have been home J have had much time to think. Per- haps because officious friends have told me of the scandalous gossip that Priscilla Bradford has circulated in the village, I have come to-the con- clusion that after all the confidence I reposed in her, Priscilla Bradford is not the: woman I thought her to be. You see; it seemed'to me that a girl with such distinguished ancestry must be trathful and kindly. She was not this and I know now that she encoufaged me in my unreason- able distike of Leslie, John, I must confess Priscilla Bradford is a gossipy old maid, and I find it ‘strange now that I could *< Pity The Poor Man MAGISTRATE—You: are accused of stealing twenty reams of foolscap and a gallon of ink.

But once more Mrs. Vane drew “Speak for yourself. It may be that I am too old to accept new ideas, but this one certainly seems to me downright immoral and indecent.

Mrs. Vane almost rose: She recalled that her youngest son had met Ma- dame Zattiany in Mrs. Oglethorpe’s box on Monday night and had been mooning about the house ever since. “If I thought that——” “Well, what would you do, Pol- ly?” Mary laughed outright. “Your “Could anything be more |* you I long since ceased to be sus- ceptible, particularly to young men. Remember that while my brain has been rejuvenated with the rest of my physical structure, my mind is as old as it was before the treat- ment.” She gave a slight unno- ticed shiver. “My memory, that for years before the war was dull and inactive, is now as vigorous as ever.’ Several of the women recalled those old stories of Countess Zat- {lany’s youth, and looked at her# sharply. There was a general at: mosphere of uneasiness in the large respectable room. But whether or not they gave her tha benefit of the doubt, they had always given her due credit for neither being found out nor embarrassing her virtubus friends with confidences. Mrs. Tracy was the first to break the silence. “But'you will come to all of us as long as you stay, will you not? I do so want to give you a dinner next week.” “Yes, yes, indeed.” The chorus was eager, and sincere enovgh. After all, nothing could alter the fact that she was one of them. “Oh, I have enjoyed meeting you all again, and | am hoping to see more of you.” Madame Zattiany felt that she could do no less than be gracious, “I have become a very quiet person, but 1 will go with pleasure.” “You must let us see you daily while you are with us,” cried Mrs. Goodrich, her spirits soaring at the Prospect. As Mary stood up and adjusted her hat before the mirror she felt that she had successtully> distracted their attention from a quick sigh of utter boredom. “You. are too kind, Nelly,” she murmured, “but then you always were.” “Yes, go, Mary,” said Mrs. Ogle- thorpe peremptorily, and rising al- so. “Clear out and let them talk you over, They'll burst If you don't, Human nature can stand just a! much and no more.” Madame Zattiany took her leave amid much laughter, more or less perfunctory, and one and all, what- ever their reactions, insisted that she must give her old friends the pleasure of entertaining her, and of seeing her as often as possible as long as she remained in New York.
