The worst day for railroad acci

The worst day for loods-Satur

It will be seen that the fears of
those who refrain from beginning a
journey on Friday are to some extent
justified. Bitt in nothing but rail
road accidents does Friday sustain Its
reputition, having a very small re.
cord for shipwrecks, murders and
fires. A table of averages for the
various days of the week shows that
10.23 per cent of the disasters took
place on a Friday-the normal aver.

certainly a lacky one in American
history. The b attle of Bunker H-Il
