TO SE INAUGURATED FRIDAY
i N?xt Prer dent of the United States
Will Be Sworn In on a Day Ccn
S'dered Unlucky.
I Whichever of the two presidential
candidates tacks his nnnii-|i?:it<- • n the
doer of ilie White House next year will
Imve lo he Inniiirurnted on a Friday.
One-third of the 27 presidents of the
railed Stales were inaugurated on
Monday and only three on Friday, one
of whom. Lincoln, was assassinated,
and Pierce failed of re-election.
Friday lias always seemed to he a
dark, drear and nnlueky day for pres
idents. Tyler, Polk and l'ierce died
on Friday.
l.eap year seems to have heen mad.
Presidential offspring of leap years
have been Taylor, who died In office;
Pierce, who trained neither fame nor
a second term, and Johnson, the only
I president impeached. As a season
j for presidents to be horn in. late
spring and early summer are impossi
ble. and the later summer Is scarcely
to be thought of.
No president ever was horn in May
or .Time, the only chief executives
midsummer has provided the nation
bein? .1. Q. Adams, born in July, and
Benjamin Harrison. With one excep
tion. aside from the two already men
tioned, presidential birthdays have
been restricted lo the period between
October and April. Eight executives
were born in lute autumn, eight in
winter and right In early spring. The
exception is W, H. Tuft, born in Sep
tember. Theodore Iloo.-evelt was an
October baby.—Pelroit News. /
S!.r:';p.ing the Twilight..
A111 iimiuIi tin sou of romantic Erin
would lip expected to deprive the
world of twilight. .T. G. Sulliviui lias
contrihuit'd to the Canadian En
gineer strong mathematical arguments
that lengthi n o'ght at the expense of
the lover's hour.
As the result of personal observa
tions Mr. Sullivan would correct the
standard statement of encyclopedias
that twilight continues until the sun
has fallen at least IS degrees below
the horizon. It will he near the
truth, he thinks, to sav that twilight
ends when the sun's decline Is about

THE VALUE OF VALUABLES
Many Things Go to Make Up Con
sideration of the Real Worth
of an Article.
Value In a commodity depends, ac
cording to certain standard econo
mists, on utilities of time, place and
events. An article Is worth what Its
owner can get for it. What he can
get fur It depends on where it is. who
wants It. for what purpose and the
number uf bidders.
The Manchester Guardian published
an interview with Itykov, president of
the supreme council of national econo
my in soviet liussia. Itykov indicated
that some valuables were less valuable
in these days than formerly, while
others were more so. The soviets, he
said, would let go of their' platinum
slowly in trade with the outside world
—slowly, that is. In comparison with
their release of other articles.
"In platinum we have a world
monopoly," said Itykov, "and conse
quently can afford to wait. Diamonds
and gold, however—they can have as
much as they want of such rubbish.
Platinum is different and we are in no
hurry to part with it. Diamonds and
gold ornaments, the jewelry of the
czars, we are ready to give to any
king in Europe who fancies them if
he cati give us some less ornamental
but more useful locomotives."
Similarly there Is no doubt that not
a few American manufacturers would
willingly trade diamonds and gold and
motor cars and electric runabouts for
box cars—plain, old, railroad red box
cars—ready on the sidetrack to haul
factory output from point of produc
tion to point of consumption.—Chlcu
