Is all that holds back the new cal
endar of 10 months, the Is supersti-
ton? No doubt that will be found to
have some weight in the opposition.
The resistance that daylight saving
aroused, will probably be much greater
in making a radical reorganization of
the months, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat 1t will unsettle so many
peoples horology With from two to
three days of every month gone, they
will scarcely know where they are at.
All their old birthday anniversaries
will be floating around loose to be
caught and anchored again. But we
shall have George Washington's ac-
quiescent example to hearten us. His
birthday was moved II days to suit
the revision of the calendar made in
the early part of the Eighteenth cen
fury. Thirteen months In the year
would give each month % days, with
one day left over at the end of the
year which it Is proposed to turn into
a holiday. This maverick unbranded
day could be called New Years day.
It's bound to be a holiday anyway.

Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches.

For four good-sized sandwiches pre-
pare one cupful of brown sauce, or
use the gravy left from the roast,
adding to it, when hot, one tablespoon
full of finely minced sour pickle. Cut
very thin as many slices of rare roast
beef as needed. Cream two table
spoonfuls of butter and add to it one
quarter Of teaspoonful of made mus
tard. Spread the bread with this. Dip
the slices of beef into the hot sauce
and place them on the bread. Sprinkle
with very little crushed cold bacon
before putting on the slice of bread
Serve on a hot platter, pouring the
boiling sauce over all.
For supper dish, sliced cold roast
beef is an excellent and well-liled
way of serving the meat. Sliced very
thin and garnished with creSs or
parsley, it is especially attractive in
appearance.

To Destroy Invention Models.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June %
Models of history-making inventions
dating back to the time of Abraham
Lincoln and even to the early DAYS
of the republic, along with thousands
of others Of every type and descrip
ton, must be disposed Of before the
middle of July. according to an an.
nouncement today from Commissioner
of Patents Robertson of the COM
meree department. Those considered
of historical or other value will be
selected and preserved. The others
unless applied for by July Is may be
destroyed or sold, as authorized by a
recent act of congress.
From the first days Of the patent
Office up to 1880 the law required
that all applicants for patents must
submit a model of the invention with
the application. AS a result the patent
office acquired over $500 models,
including such outstanding inventions
as the Bell telephone, the Howe sew
ing machine, Abraham Lincoln's
devise for lifting vessels over shoals
in the Mississippi and many others.
