Show Magna, Utah, Friday, March 13, 193S BELIEVE IN JINXES? If you are one of those who de- pend on good luck charms and the like to pull you through you had better get out your favorite rabbit's foot and dust it oft for the second Friday In March is the 13th. And so is the second Friday in November. Either of these hoodoos is enough to scare off the ordinary believer in superstition and their conjunction is likely to jar their eyeteeth but when it occurs twice in the same year well, anything might happen. However, many refuse to be unduly alarmed. In fact some Republicans believe It is a sign that things are coming their way agatiu Prlday the 13th occurred twice in 1920 when they took over the reins of government and twice in 1924, another G. O. P. year. When they won their victory in 1928 Friday fell on the 13tA three times but only once in 1933 when the Democrats snowed them under. Be that as it, may, in nearly all lands there are people who shy away from the number 13 In Turkey the dislike became so great that it was dropped from the vocabulary. Italians never use the number 13 in lotteries. English folks omit it from their auto license plates In many French cities and towns no house bears that number and even in our own country mmy persons refuse to live in a house bearing that number and sun? hotels and office buL' dings have no room 13 or a 13th floor. In some localities the houses are numbered 12 2 or 12A.

One of the most widely known rf the 13 supusliiicns Is that it la unlucky to sit at a table where there are 13 persons. Tradition has It that some one of the 13 will die within the year. Some authorities say this dates back to the time of Christ when 13 gathered at the table for the Last Supper. Juria. Iscaiiotwas the first to Lave and all are familiar with . fie. However, it is known that this superstition was life among the Asiatics long before that. Others trace it back, to Scandinavian mythology when the 12 major gods were seated about a table in Valhalla and the evil spirit. Loki, arrived to make the 13th. Friday bears special significance in this connection because It was the festival of certain gods Their wiath was sure to fall on the unwary heads of all who did not give up their own pursuits on that' day to Indulge In Paris, there . in the festival. are persons as "feurteeners" because it t their business to be available to ell who wish a 14th s and dinners guer t at p' when only 13 app ar. are those perHowever, tir-rsons who h- - e no fear of the dreaded numr but take it as their good luck symbol In the national capital the auto tag number 13 has gone to the same person for a number of years while a grgat demand exists for 3. the tags number 1.313 and Louis XIII cf France chose a title with 13 letters and always made his most Important decisions and moves on the 13th.
