year 1911, one which has not been
noted before, is that the year be-
gins and ends on Sunday, making
fifty-three Sabbaths in the 365 days.
There will not be ffty-three Sun
days in a single year again until
1922, eleven years hence. This
number of Sundays usually occurs
every six years, leap year adding
one more day. Each year usually
begins on the day which follows the
day in the calendar week upon

the following year then starts on
Monday, owing to the extra day.
This is the case with 1916 and 1917.
