Men who made had Investments this morning blamed it on the day. Street car conductors and motor men who couldn't keep their schedules said It was the calendar's fault. Folks who were on the late street cars said the conductors and motormen shouldn't run by the calendar. The thirteenth frequently comes on Friday and is always very unlucky, according to the seers. It is a re markable fact that every time the first of the month falls on Sunday the 13th will be on Friday. Astrolo gers say this will happen for many thousands of years. This Is blamed directly on Julius Caesar, who chang ed the calendar around some way. The next time the 13th falls on Friday the first will have come on Sunday. Strange, too.
