How to Remember
the Calendar
For 1914
P your friend Jones meets you In
the street and asks you what day
June 22d w ill drop on, because
he has Just heard there is some­
thing o f Interest to him to happen then,
you say:
“ Sorry, old chap: cannot tell you
Wish I could memorize the calendar at
the beginning o f the New Tear. It
would be extremely hamly, but It is too
big a Job. Now, It has Just occurred to
m e that It is Nellie's birthday on April
7. and I ’d like to know the day.”
“ W ell, I can’t tell you,” says Jones.
“ W e shall both have to w ait until we
come across s calendar. Itut, as you
say. It would tie a useful thing to
learn tho calendar at the beginning o f
the year. You often want to know
what day s certain date w ill fall on."
That Is Just It, and yet the calendar
fo r the year can be memorized In
ten minutes by a little plan that Is
quite simple. Here It Is:
Copy from a calendar and write
down in a column the date on which
the first Sunday in each month will
fall in 1014—thus:

The Wilson Administration has
advertised the fact that it is sen­
sitive to criticism and ridicule,
for that is what happened when
President Wilson withdrew his
letter accepting honorary mem­
bership in the Military Order of
the Carabao and when Secretary
Daniels started an investigation
into the jokes and quips of the
recent Carabao dinner at Wash­
ington, wherein the Administra­
tion was made the ‘ ‘goat,
though in an entirely friendly
way. Neither President Roose­
velt nor President Taft ever
found anything in the son»? to of­
fend their sensibilities,, and both

Carabao dinners during: their re­
spective administrations.
