TRAGEDIES OF FRIDAY, 13TH.
New York, Oct. 113, --Today for
many persons is what the ides of
March were toCaesar. In other
words, it is Friday the i131th,
)But it is not likely even the most
superstitious will fall a victim' to a
conspiracy of ;Romans or of circuits-
stances. !History is all against it.
Major tragedies have shown no par -
'Helder preference for Friday the 13th,
so-called doubleheader of ill luck,
'Nat that there have not been trag-
"edies. For instance, on Friday, July
11'3, 14533, Isaac 3, Duckworth, an ar-
1 chitect, walked up to the bar at Milli-
gag's Broadway hotel and said, with
a sweeping gesturer
"Come on, boys, let's have another
drink before we go home,"
The "boys" responded with hurrahs
but before they could accept the in-
vitation Duckworth had dropped
dead„
Then there was George C. -Davis
shoot -the -chute man de luxe, who
came to grief on Friday, March 1t3,
1903, His specialty was shooting
down a steep runway at the St, Nich-
olas Rink on roller skates, and blind-
f-lderl. Something—maybe the calen
dor did its dirty work and Davis
Sanded up in a hospital. He recovered,
The worst luck of Friday, June 13,
1913, which certainly should have
been a bad day, seems to have be-
fallen Bridgie Webber, a gambler,
who had testified against Lieut.
Becker in the 'Rosenthal rase, Web-
ber was stabbed in the shoulder as he
strolled along Eighth street.
But by and large. Ole catastrophes
of history have avoided Friday the
lath. There have been recorded on
the clay events which seem, if there
is anything to the old superstition
to have occurred out of turn.
The New York Yankees, for is -
.stance, ,chronic tail -enders in those
days, won their 113th victory of the
season on that sane (June 13, 1913.
!Down on Fifth street a neighbor

Finally. there have been Friday the
13th happenings which were good ori

ed at 10 -eat, On Friday, January ,13,

this year Howard Scott formaliy,
presented an interpretation of a. new

was called technocracy.
Alt Wheeling, "the 'meeting _will

officer, as he broke a mirror with his,
gavel. A black eat was released in the'

were initiated. It was the custoamary,

"Some folks don't take any stock .in

the milkman as he watched the per-
formance.

WHY
MILK COOLING
IS NECESSARY
Xutritional authorities have pro-
claimed milk to he "the most nearly
perfect food" for human beings. 3t is,
likewise an ideal food for .numerous
species of ,bacteria which, harmless in
themselves, are able •to',groiv and
spoil the flavour 09 the trills. While
care and cleanliness in milking and
subsequent handling will keep down
the number of bacteria in milk to a
minimum, there will always be a
small number present as it leaves the
udder. If the number always remain-
ed the sante as when the milk is first'
drawn into the pail, there would' be
little heed to worry over spoilage.
But unfortunately for the dairyman,
bacteria are able to ,multiply at an en-
ormous rate. Under favorable condi-
tions some species are able to double
their numbers every half hour, so
that one bacterial. cell at the start
would increase to ,1,9124 cells at the
end of ten hours: When we remem-
ber that the milk delivered' to the city
housewife is generally at least thirty-
six hours old, the Importance .of pre-
venting bacterial ,growth is obvious.
To check the growth of -bacteria,
milk must be cooled promptly to a
suitable temperature, 'Promptness of
cooling is of value in conserving the
so-called "germicidal property" of the
milli, as experiments conducted by
the Division cf :Bacteriol'ogy, Central
Experimental Farm, have demonstrat-
ed. This simply means that where
milk is cooled without delay, and ,held
at a temperature high enough for
onoclerate growth of bacteria to take
place, the rate of ,growth will be much
slower.than if cooling had been delay-
ed. Cooling to a low enough temper-
ature simply means malting conditions
n
s'o tin that the ,milk -sour-
ing bacteria will be unable to grow.
iIlluls limit is reached at about 45 de-
grees F„ +hence the efficient dairyman
strives to cool the milk ' below this.
temperature and to keep it there at
all times. Details of improved methods'
for the cooling of milk, construction
of insulated tanks, etc. are given in
'Bulletin No. '1165, ,"Cooling Milk on
the ,Farm;"' which neay 'be obtained
'from the Publications Branch, De
apartment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
