be good and prosperous year for
the most of us because 1t starts
flush"
To understand the allusion It may
be said that 1t is printers term. 1t
Is the practice of printers to start an
article or paragraph a short space
removed from the side of the column.
J That Is indentng. When there is no
break between the column rule and
the first letter of the first word OF
the line 1t is said to be flush" or ev-
en-. Observe the 1922 calendar and
discover the first line of figures for
the first week of the new year starts
with Sunday, the first day of the
week There is no indentation as
would be the case had Monday been
the initial day Of the new year. There
fore 1922 starts even and is "flush."
Go through the calendar and see
what the year has In store for us. AZ
ter New Years day not one OF our
holidays falls on a Sunday. Armis-
tice day and Christmas are but one
day removed from Sunday, the first
coming on Saturday and the latter on
Monday. The other holidays of the
year fall on diverse days.
January gives us no holidays of
its own, other than New Years day
In February we have st. Valentines
day, on Tuesday, and Washington's
birthday, on Wednesday. Ground
hog day or Candlemass comes on a
Thursday. 1t is true that Lincoln's
birthday comes on a Sunday but 1t is
not, strictly speaking, observed as a
/. holiday.
4 Neither March nor April have any
3 holiday. May has one, Memorial day,
coming on Tuesday. Five weeks lat.
er, on the same day we have the Ma.
tional holiday, July 4. The only con.
tribution OF June is Flag day coming
!. on Wednesday.
q There are no holidays in August, al.
though that is vacation time Labor
|. day, az usual, falls upon Monday, be
ing the fourth day of the month. Oc
tober has nothing to offer until the
very close when Halloween comes
on Monday.
November has two notable days In
the calendar, the first being Armis
:, tice day, which comes, as noted, on 9
Saturday, and Thanksgiving day or
Thursday the 30th. December has
but one day to offer, but II is by fal
!, the most notable day Of all the year
being Christmas day, which will come
upon Monday.
n The Banner's astrologer and seer
makes the prediction that 1922 will
be notable year In several aspects
+ 1t 10 u reasonable certainty that {
large number of persons will be borI
q In this year who never have beer
r. born before. BY the same token an
other large number will die who new
a er died before. Some of those whit
II will be born this year will become
famous. Some will become infamous
q Stlll great many more will be Meth
\. er. 1t Is within the realm of poss
bility that the first woman Presiden
II OF the United States may be born II
Il 1922. But she'll not be elected before
1880, so there's no immediate hurr
getting ready for her.
Easter will, this coming year, con
tinue to observe the rule and will fal
on Sunday. Similarly, Ash Wed
nesday Will fall with equal certaint
on a Wednesday. Thanksgiving da.
a. on Thursday, and Labor day on
If Monday.
