Stay in Bed Tomorrow It 's Friday 13
Tonight is the night—kill all the cats, alley or otherwise; break all the ladders; wrap all mirrors in excelsior; don't spill any salt; don't light three on a match; see a pin, pick it up; don't whistle after midnight—stay in bed all day tomorrow—for tomorrow is Friday the 13th.
If a cat should run in front of your path, back up ten paces, turn around and round three times and run in the opposite direction. Do not walk under a ladder. If you do unconsciously walk under a ladder, go back even though you interrupt a painter or paper-hanger.
If you should break a mirror—fear not—just grind glass up into small particles and sprinkle lightly over your food, then you won't live long enough to have seven years of bad luck.
No 3-on-Match
If three people insist on lighting cigarettes from one match guard
yourself—deftly brush the clothing of the third person with the fagot and he will insist no more.
If you see a pin, dash madly to pick it up. If you have competition—ignore him—step firmly on his hand and crush his vanity as well as his fingers.
Formula For Luck
Anyone who whistles after midnight is breaking a house rule. Stay in bed all day tomorrow and get rid of the luggage protruding from under your eyelashes, and you won't have to worry about a thing except to make up a whole day's work. So long chums.
Abe Lincoln Freedom Changes Mood
What a revolution the freedom of the American Negro brought in the social world!
Yes, it is true that indirectly or basically Abraham Lincoln is the founder of the institution of modernity known as "solid jive," "hot stuff," "rug cuttin," or (call it what you please) swing. He can easily be pointed out as the "father of American jazz."
Father of Jazz
It was the bill freeing the Negro from his serfdom, which encouraged him to develop his distinctive culture. A culture high lighted perhaps by its music and dancing, characteristic for its primitive portrayal. And it wasn't long before the white men combined the Negro's m ood and motion to their waltzing and square dancing and thus began to "swing out" in a "solid gate" style of their own.
Perhaps his picture would be published every month on the cover All this could be. Or then again of "Down beat" magazine on national swing and the interior would be smeared with pictures of him posing
One cannot be sure what kind of an attitude Mr. Lincoln would adopt toward this new rage he so indirectly brought about if he were living today. History says that he was a pretty good "egg" so we can imagine that he would think it was "solid" and found out a few hep beats himself.
with famous name bends, sitting in for a trombone solo or taking a few hot licks on the drums. He might also have his own record player and collection of swing records to "send himself" occasionally.
he might have wanted to boot himself for ever having instigated such weird developments in the social life of mankind. But the next time you push a nickel (or facsimile) into a juke-box and swing music comes forth—thank Abe Lincoln, indirectly the papa of American jazz.
Psychologist Presages Post-War Mental Ills
Hamilton, N. Y. (UP)—Colgate University has expanded its courses in abnormal psychology to promote greater understanding of mental disorders expected to result from the war.
"We believe that students should understand definitely the mental disorders certain to result from war and to carry over as major problems of the reconstruction period," explained Dr. George H. Estabrooks, head of the psychology department.
BIG SIX INDIVIDUAL SCORING (Non-Conference Games)
Aerial neurosis, effects of fatigue and malnutrition on troops and civilians, disorders arising from bombings, and the effects of strain and fear will be emphasized in one new course in "abnormal . psychology, organic."
