IN CASE you're one of those wise guys who sneer at Friday the 13th superstitions, just listen to what"

"happened to Harold Fox, 4933 Hillside ave., last Priday, Mr. Fox, a water company meter reader, was

quietly going about his business when a dog, probably i . imagining he was on_a fox hunt, attacked Mr. ‘Fox. Mr. Fox lost the seat of his trousers going away from. there fast. He Phoned an ‘8. 0. 8. to his office and someone sent him another pair of trousers. Right away, he ripped the new pair on a nail in a basement, but ‘ was able to pin up the tear and carry on. It wasn't lo until he lacerated his leg on a loose wire of a gate. Then, while waiting for a streetcar on his way home, he was struck by a hit-and-run The driver was pursued by others and captured. The pursuers then returned and took Mr. Fox to City hospital for examination and treatment. He refused to ride home in an ambulance. Sounds like a mighty tough day. Now, what do you think about Friday the 13th being an unlucky day? ... If you still aren't convinced, you might ask Arch Grossman, His pet superstititions are black cats and Friday the 13th, - He won't sit at a table where he makes the 13th, and he doesn’t even like to go to his office on

Friday the 13th, One Friday the 13th, a few hours

after his wife had chided him about his pet super-

._ stition and his reluctance to go to the office that day,

he phoned home: “So there's nothing to it, en? Well, one of the mines I represent had a bad fire this morning.” Getting down to the point, Arch had to take some relatives to the train last Friday. And on the way, a motorcycle cop nabbed him on a charge of running a red light. “I‘didn’t do it,” fumed Arch afterward, “but you can't blame the cop. It was just that old Friday the 13th jinx.”

Signs of peace are interesting, and sometimes pretty quaint. They remind you of a lot of inconsequential things you had forgotten since 1939. Across Berkeley Square wan“ders an elderly lady in black satin; with a parasol to shade her faded features from the sun. A butler from a rich man's house in Mayfair strolls down Bond st., decked out in black coat and street trousers, with a walking stick on his arm. A paratroop officer, last seen at Souk- El-Khemis, in Tunisia, comes down Jermyn st. in a prewar suit, cutting a very dull picture indeed. He has the air of a man who thinks he looks very snappy.

Aviati REGULATED competition among the land, ses and air transportation interests of this country can only mean more efficient, more comfortable, and cheaper service for our people. . Don’t shy away from that phrase, “regulated competition,” because it is the only practical way to prevent throat-cutting competition. And we cannot afford much more of that. There's been a great commotion in the transportation business since the airlines began to do a job that few financiers a few years ago believed could be done. On the other hand, there are some hard-headed rail and steamship men who clearly understand the sense of the ‘shoemaker sticking to his last.” All surface transportation executives understand that the post-war period will bring new machinery and new time-saving, comfort-producing services. The old Pullman car is as obsolete as yesterday's newspaper, and so is the idea of building passenger cars of heavy steel girders.

Streamlined Trains Asset SOME SUCH cars pounding our rails today weigh 170,000 pounds. And modern engineering is nauseated. A rail executive of vision, and courage to face the vision, says “streamlined trains , . . possess distinct assets for retaining a satisfactory volume of the passenger traffic.” The railroad runs when the airline is grounded, and it will be a long time before the airline can lick that handicap. Since this weather hazard is well understood (or

My Day

NEW YORK, Monday.—On my way up to Hyde Park on the train the other evening, two sailors sat nearby, talking to a young girl. A third one sat with me and told me they were on their way to Yonkers to call for some girls and take them back to a dance in New York." When the sailors got off, the young girl came over to talk to me and made a remark which I think many people will appreciate, “They're inventing a new language,” she said. “They explain it to you as they talk. They told me they were going to get ‘some ‘chicks’ to go to the dance, and then said, ‘Of course, we mean girls.” Anyone who talks much to men in the services knows that, just as in the last. war, they have invented names and ex-

‘pressions. As this war has lasted longer than the dther one, these new words and expressions may be-

come part of our permanent language! I wonder as I watch young people such as these—

both soldiers and civilians—whether they ever think

late Friday with his arms and hdnds bandaged. To inquiring friends he explained: Mrs, Wood was doing the family ironing, using an electric mangle. At her feet was Smoky, a beautiful specimen with a magnificent plume-like tail. ~Smoky has a habit of carrying his tail proudly upright, like a squirrel. And it was this habit that brought disaster. As Smoky walked under the mangle, the tip of his tail was caught on an axle and wrapped around it three times, This left the poor feline dangling, suspended only by his tail, Mrs. Wood quickly shut ‘off. the mangle and attempted to rescue the yowling cat, but was scratched badly. She. .called Mr. Wood, in the next room. He, too, tried. to lift the cat and not only was scratched badly on the arms, but was bitten, too. The hysterical cat bit a chunk of flesh fs big as a nickel out of Mr. Wood's thumb, Finally, Mr. Wood, drawing on his skill in the practical arts, grabbed a thick -blanket and wrapped. the .cat in it. Then, obtaining a screwdriver, he released the machinery so he could unwind Smoky’s tail. The cat appears to have suffered no serious damage except to his beautiful tail, stripped of much fur, and to his feelings. And Smoky learned about Friday the 13th from that, <

March 19-May 2, 1942

AS Italy blundered on toward ruin and collapse, the family of Mussolini's mistress, Claretta Petacci, emerged more and more as a sinister, selfish, thieving influence in the country’s. tottering society, it is plain from the diary of Mussolini's son-in-law and foreign minister, Count Ciano. Even Mussolini's sister, the elderly Donna Edvige, becanie alarmed to the point where ‘she determined to speak to Il Duce. Ciano admitted to the privacy of his own records

that the family had become a “national problem.” International affairs continued to go badly. At Hitler's headquarters, Ciano heard it said repeatedly that “America is a big bluff.” It was to him the whistling of small boys past the graveyard. » Ciano wrote: MARCH 19—“Pavolini (minister of popular enlightenment) returns from a conversation with Goebbels (Nazi propaganda minister) and paints a dark picture of Germany's situation. “He spoke of a crisis in the regime, and of ‘walking on the edge of a razor.” .". .

“Pavolini relateda funny story. When Goebbels sent Farinacci (Fascist secretary) a bust of Hit ler, the bust was brought by the gauleiter of Essen, who pretends to speak Italian, but doesn’t.

Goebbels is the first to laugh about it.” < Ld » » MARCH ?24—“1 brought Il Duce a report by Luciolli on Germany) He explains how politics was unable to assist the military conquest.

rail chiefs started cashing in on the weather?

Just assume a bad weather “Low” is moving slowly toward any section of the country. The airlines

know they are going to be grounded and flights cancelled. should jump with additional train sections and ame plified service to take what the airlines Cannot handle?

Changes in Car Design SUCH AN innovation in routing of trains undoubtedly will mean scrapping operation methods that thus far have sufficed. And if there is any difficulty about developing this “elasticity” program, there are lads

who ran the railroads to supply armies in the war

by kicking out all outmoded peacetime methods.

. Another thing the rails will have to do something

about is the design of day coaches and sleeping cars.

This will be based upon a new appreciation of the fact that the objective of the railroads is not enly to transport people, but to do so’ with regard for the

comfort and convenience of the passenger.

It's high time, too, that the railroads get rid of this tedious business of paper work at the ticket window. The airlines suffer from the same disease. In this day of cash registers and comptometers, it’s

time that outworn practices were abandoned.

The airlines undoubtedly will win some of the railroads’ high-class passenger business, but air travel also will develop new markets, and that means the| transportatoin of new freight to new localities by

rail.

The entire freight transportation business even-

tually will fall into its true pattern when each cargo is routed via land, sea, or air on the basis of its nature, and the transportation costs justified by that consideration.

“Youth Builders” was started by Sabra Holbrook some years ago and it has gradually grown in importance. Not long ago they held a conference of 34 schools in New York City at which children reported on “actual jobs which they had done to increase civic

co-operation among all groups in-order to meet coi-|-

mon needs in the neighborhood.” It is common knowledge among people who work with children that no racial prejudices are born in us. They are acquired as children live with adults who have prejudices, racial and religious. Hence it is interesting to have children actually growing up with ‘mature problems and learning to meet them as children. Two recent books- have come 0 me which both adults and children will enjoy. One is the photographic record of the Springfield plan, in which many of us ave become deeply interested. This book, with photographs by Alexander Alland ‘and text by James Waterman Wise, is a contribution to the spreading of knowledge about an experiment ‘which seems to ‘be achieving very beneficial results. One quotation from the text is worth repeating to:

~LaborI.T. U. Locals. ‘Seek Removal Of WLB Head

.By FRED W. PERKINS WASHINGTON, July 1T.—~Cere tain locals of the International Typographical Union are trying to get Chairman George W, Taylor ‘temoved from the War Labor

Board.

These efforts have at least one strike on them. This lies in. the ; fact that less than three weeks ago President Truman ree fused to accept the chairman's resignation, Moreover, the War Labor Board's policy toward disobedient unions as well as recalcitrant employers has stiffened recently. The drive against Dr. Taylor was- started by Columbia Typo graphical Union in Washington, oldest of I. T. U. locals: - It asked all other I. T. U. locals throughout the country to follow its exe ample in telegraphing President

Truman .that the War Labor Board chairman is “biased in favor of publishers,” and has “a

willingness to coerce members of I. T. U. into accepting the obs noxious conditions proposed by. the publishers.” = = » THE TROUBLE started when the new international officers of the I. T. U,, headed by President Woodruff Randolph, of Indianapolis, started to enforce new union “laws.” Publishers claim these laws would take out of col« lective bargaining an important group of issues between printers and publishers.

Part of the I T. U.s ire against Chairman Taylor may be traced to a recent statement made by the board. Mr. Taylor sponsored that pronouncement. It said the L T. U. officials had told the board: set “(A) The matters in dispute be= tween the union and the publish ers would not be submitted either to collective bargaining or to the board for peaceful adjustment in accordance with the war labor disputes act; tb) The terms and conditions under which its members would work are subject to the unilateral (one-sided) determination of the union's ‘laws’; (c) Its members will not work and newspapers will not be published except under terms and conditions of employment unilaterally fixed and satisfactory to the union.” el ON SEN RE y THE BOARD statement” arith cized the I. T. U. for violating the wartime no-strike” pledge. Mr, Randolph said his union was not bound because it was not party to any pledge of the American Fed-

he did not consider newspapers essential to the war effort. Statements from Mr. Randolph and other I. T. U. international officers are awaited here. They have said they will nog budge. Seven newspapers are not publishing because of the I. T.U.s insistence that union laws must become part of any contract bee tween printers and publishers.
