Ben F. Trimmer, Hamilton, Ohio T regret that I did not see more of that great country. I have told a number of people that the trip from Cordova on the Copper River Railroad up to the Miles and Childs Glaciers alone was worth. the entire trip from here to Alaska; the afternoon we went up the Copper River was per- feet sunny day and the flowers were abundant, the trees and shrubbery was very green, the high and steep mountain streams filled with sediment spreading out over the lowlands gave me the impression that was seeing a part of the earth formation before my eyes. When I recall now the many beautiful scenes we passed on our trip I feel hungry to see those places again"

NEW CALENDAR PLAN

Another effort to revise the calendar as to make each month contain exactly four week is being consider ed by committee of the League of Nations Several plans have been suggested but proposed by M. B. Cotsworth director of the International Fixed Calendar League, appears to meet with most favor
 Briefly, his proposal is to divide the year into 13 months of 28 days each every week and month to begin Sunday with the extra month inserted between June and July It would be necessary to have an additional day at the end of December and extra day in Leap year but these would not take the of any day the week
 Thus each day of every month would always come on the day of the week-Sundays the 1st 8th 18th and 22d Mondays the 2nd 9th 1th and 23d and
 From practical standpoint the proposed calendar would have many advantages and would greatly simplify the keeping of accounts computing pay ros calculating interest recording statistical data and the like
 Sentimentally it would play havoc with anniversaries and church feasts by requiring other days be substut ed for those observed Those who were born on the 18th to 31s inclusive, of any month would be egsated out of their birthdays.
 Still the thing has happened many times in the past when calendar changes have been made and appears to have been harmed by the process

322-S III the Home Owners Institute
series The bungalow contains 30.250
cubic feet
one Of the most noteworthy features
of this plan is its incorporation Of a
playground and bedroom on the sec
ond floor. In this way the architect
has eliminated one of the most obiec-
tionable features of the bungalow type
of houSe-that of attic space which
cannot be put to good use.
BY simple and inexpensive partition
ing this attic playroom could be con-
verified into a game room. where bill
lard or a pocket billiard able would
afford amending pleasure to all mem
berS of the family.
Another excellent feature is the easy
communication to all parts OF the first
floor from the central hall. From the
yestibule one enters the living room
situated entirely apart from the rest OF
the rooms, which greatly adds to its
reStfulness and makes 1t truly a living
room.
Convenience in the kitchen and din
ing alcove has been a watchword IN
designing this plan. The dining al
cove, with all dishes and service handy
in the cabinet opposite, is adjacent but
still apart from the kitchen.
The spacious living room with its
large fireplace. offers an opportunity for
any period decorating scheme Forged
iron fireplace hardware could be used 10
good advantage The large windows in
two sides of each bedroom will be espe
cially appreciated, particularly If they
arc the improved steel easements.
