Many there are who regard Friday as the unfortunate day of the week and thirteen as "the most unlucky of numbers, but when the fates decree that these two shall oc cur simultaneously those who are wary of signs and hoodoos throw up their hands in resignation and pre pare for the worst. Would Blame All On Jinx Every fire that occurs today, every accident, pr misfortune of any kind, from an automobile collision to the bruising of a corn, will be traced promptly and with certainty to the host of cloven-hoofed, horned demons from the realm of misfortune who swooped upon Annapolis and the rest of the nation at exactly one second after 12 o'clock last midnight. To those who are superstitious the smal lest event of the day will take on doubleedged significance from the jinx that is supposod to possess it. Even the deluge of rain which has rendered the streets sloppy and trav eling unpleasant will be hailed by these people as conclusive proof of the widespread prevalence of evil for tune, which, they say, is only to be anticipated on such a date. There are, however, many brave cit izens of Maryldhd who flout the devils of Friday the 13th with a smile and declare that such a superstition lo longs tack in the days-of witchcraft, ICnntlmird On l*ntre II NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO PRESERVE HOME OF THOMASJETFERSON (By The Associated Press.)
