Who Remembers When
Another Year Had
s. SUNDAYS in 1t?

Who ever heard of such another
year as this 1922?
J. A. Cathey, of Tennille, desires
to know. And since Mr.. Cathey has
sent in his query, along with some
bits of data he has assembled re-
garding 1922 A. D., most of The
Journals staff is wondering about
| it, too.
Here is a little problem for you
to figure out" writes Mr.. Cathey.
''This year, 1922, has five months
containing five Sundays, and the
year contains So Sundays. When
has this happened before, and when
will it happen again?"
A little research really does seem
in order. Consultation with the cal
endar reveals two or three more per-
tinent points.
The months with five Sundays
are January, April, July, October
and December. The rest have four
Sundays each. This makes total
of So Sundays-and the year isn't
leap-year, either, and has only the
customary allotment of days, name
ly, 365.
The year began on Sunday and
will end on Sunday. 1t appears this
is necessary to get So Sundays in it.
But as to when there was such a
year in the past or will be such an
other in the future-possibly the as
tronomers know, or can figure it

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Now
that "Uncle Joe'' Cannon has Aar
uounced that he will not be a can
didate for reelection in the Dan
Vile, Illinois, district. and will quit
congress at the end Of As years
service, there will be fresh out
cropping of Cannon stories.
Uncle Joe" says that many a
story has been pinned on him. He
told some of them and others, out
of Joe Miller's joke book, or
gathered up beneath the chestnut
tree, have just been wished" on
him. Story-tellers, cartoonists and
caricaturists have always felt priv
ileged to take liberties with Mr..
Cannon. There is even a cigar
named after him.
Many yarn about Joseph G..
Cannon concerns the great Amer1-
can indoor sport--draw poker. Mr..
Cannon has always liked his friend
ly game, and, though wealthy, he
has never gone in for the real high
stakes. At that, however, the ante
and the limit, they say, have been
enough to make it interesting.
Recall that debate in the house
when three knights Of the green
CLOTH Cannon, Representative
Nick Longworth, and Representa-
tive Jack Garner. Of Illinois, Ohio
and Texas, respectively, pretended
they did not know how many cards
were in a poker deck.

"Uncle joe" my recollection is
that when I was child, many,

with cards. Would that tax those
cards?"

The rewriting of the ad valorem

rates were predicated upon Ameri-

Forget Word Prudent"

We have got to throw
tradition to the wind. Now, as I
have said, gentlemen, I take 1t
for granted that nothing that 1
say here will be repeated, and,
therefore, I am going to say
this: Every time we have sug-
gested anything to the British
admiralty the reply has come
back that virtually amounted to
this, that it had never been done
that way, and I felt like saying,
"Well, nothing was ever done so
systematically as nothing is be-
ing done now" Therefore, l
should like to see something I'M
usual happen, something that
was never done before: and. in
asmuch as the things that are
being done to you were never
done before, don't you think
it worth while to try some
thing that was never done
before against those who are do
ing them to you? There is no
other way to win, and the whole
principle of this war is the kind
of thing that ought to hearten
and stimulate America. Ameri-
ca has always boasted that she
could find men to do anything.
She is the prize amateur nation
Of the world. Germany is the
prize professional nation of the
world. Now, when it comes to
doing new things, and dc g
them well, will back the anna
teur against the professional
every time. because the profess
sional does it out of the book
and the amateur does it with his
eyes open upon a new world and
with a new set Of circumstances.
He knows so little about it that
he is fool enough to try to do
the right thing. The men that
do not know the danger are the
rashest men, and 1 have several
times ventured to make this sug'
gestion to the men about me in
both arms of the service. Please
leave out of your vocabulary al
together the word prudent" do
not stop to think about what is
prudent for a moment. Do the
utmost point of risk and daring,
because that is exactly the thing
the other side does not under
stand, and you will win by the
audacity of method when you
can not win by circumspect1on
and prudence. 1 think that
there are willing ears to hear
this in the American navy ana
the American army, because that
is the kind of folk we are. we
get tired of the old ways and
covet the new. ones.
So, gentlemen, besides coming
down here to give you my per-
sonal greeting and to say how
absolutely [ rely on you and be-
lieve in you, I have come down
here to say also that I depend
on YOU, depend on you Tor
brains as we'll as training and
courage and discipline.

one or two jokers. as / have some
where heard the term?"
''Fifty-two cards and one joker, l
am informed" said the willy Texan.
'Is there ever more than one
joker?" asked Mr.. Cannon.
II understand that depends upon
whether you play what they call
'deuces wild >" observed Nick Long
worth. However, have heard that
'deuces wild is rather dangerous
and silly game"
1T Think said Mr.. Cannon, that
the gentleman from Ohio and the
gentleman from Texas ought to be
allowed to sing in concert, 1T
sounds to me, it sounds to me-"
And there the discussion ended,
with poker players in the visitor
congress knew so little about in
door sports.
They say that out in Danville
several years ago "Uncle Joe" was
playing with a group Of veterans
like himself. A youngster in the
town had a great hankering to get

and make cleanup" The regu.
lar gang decided to let him in one
night and see how he conducted
himself. They arranged to tell him
it was a steep proposition, how
ever, and he must hold up his own
end. They put out the chips and
the poker recruit was rather star
tied at the limit named. Everybody
continued for an hour or so to bet
heavily.
Finally, the youngest man in the
party pushed back his chair, wiped
the perspiration from his forehead
and said:
Gentlemen, I've overplayed my
self, I'm practically ruined. have
lost more than a thousand dollars
and I haven't got it,"
There was a moment of silence,
which was also one of torture to
the young outsider. Finally, the
kindly Mr.. Cannon spoke up:
"Tut, tut, my boy" said Uncle Joe.
''You are not hurt. You know we
bet big here, but just play for /
cent on the dollar. I should judge
you owe ten or twelve dollars about
now"
And the young player cashed in
on that basis and never played poker
Of any sort for long, long time
thereafter.
