CALENDAR in HEAD.
Good Method Now That So Few
Are Being Printed.
Little Mental Arithmetic Required by
System Which Is Explained Here
Little Rhyme to. Be Com
mitted to Memory.

Calendars for 1918 are going to be
scarce, partly on account of the paper
shortage and partly because advertis-
ers are cutting down expenses. the
large insurance companies, for in
stance, having made it a rule that their
agents will have to print their own
calendars. 1t used to be that one was
flooded with calendars of all sorts and
shapes about the first of the year; now
one has TO buy them.
Why buy a calendar if one can carry
the whole thing in ones head? There
are several ways in which one can fig
ure out the day of the week upon
which any day of the month Will fall.
but the majority OF them require an
amount of mental arithmetic that is
beyond the powers of the man in a
hurry, or the woman arranging for a
party.
Here is a simple calendar arranged
by memory expert. It consists of
twelve words arranged as a rhyme
These twelve words are indexes for
the twelve months, and they are three
in line, so as to make it easier to get
at the months by taking them three at
d time:

clustered about the River Dee and
shut in by hills on all sides. The Dee
winds through the valley like a silver
thread, now vanishing in the woods
and now flashing in the sun. while its
curves and eccentrfcitfes add grace and
beauty to the picture. The town boasts
fine old bridge, built in 1345, which is
accounted one of the seven wonders
Of Wales. 1t is quaint structure. and
from its pointed recesses, where idIers
proftably spend the day gazing and
fishing, is view that for variety and
nicturesqueness is not to be excelled.

Time Flies Fast,
Men Wisely Say;
Men Think, Alasi
Times Fooled Away.

The initials of these words give US
the day of the week upon which the
first of the months will fall in 1918,
taking them in order. T stands for
Tuesday, Th for Thursday. S is for
Saturday and A for Sunday. NJ and
" are for Monday and Wednesday re-
spectively.
1t is obvious that if one knows upon
what day of the week the first day of
any month will fall, one has only to
add sevens to it to discover the dates
of all similar days of the week in that
month. If the 1st of August falls on
Thursday, the Sth, 18th, 22d and 29th
must all be THURSDAYS
Now suppose you have committed
this little rhyme to memory and wish
to know upon what day of the week
the Fourth of July will fall in 1918.
July is the seventh month and the sew
enth word in our couplet, beginning
the third line, is Men. As NJ stands
for Monday, the 1st of July must be a
Monday, SO the 4th will be a Thurs
day.
Let Us suppose your birthday is
March %. AS March is the third
month the word is at the end of the
first line, and the initial f shows that
the 1st of March will be a Friday. If
the following Fridays are the Sth, 18th
and 22d your birthday will be on a Sat.
urday in 1918
Suppose it is Christmas day you are
looking forward to. December is the
last of the twelve months and the
initial of the last word in our little
rhyme is A, which stands for Sunday,
| Then the Sundays in December will be
the 1st, Sth, 18th and 22d, and Christ.
mas day will be three days after Sun
day, or Wednesday.

Greeks in Turkish Territory.

Professor Andreade of the Univer-
sity of Athens, who is a specialist on
the extent of Greek citizenship beyond
the Greek frontiers-in Macedonia
and the other Balkans, in Turkey,
Syria and Asia Minor-pointed out the
great predominance of the Greeks in
the regions to be evacuated by the
Turks if they are to leave Europe.
The whole vilayet. or province, Of
Adrianople, extending from the Bal
kans down to Constantinople, he de-
ciared, is as much Greek as it is Turk
and with the Turks out it is practical
ly all Greek. "Even ConstantinopIe."
he said, ''is a Greek. city-the largest

$4,000 Greeks. That gives an idea of
the extent of Greek citizenship in all

viii have to be considered on tie basis
