daily items of bad news he grows painfully con-
scious of the evanescence of human existence
Man, he realizes, is little better than a May
ny. And by the middle of July (Bastille taken
in 1889, Nicholas II killed, 1918; Robespierre
beheaded, 1874; Capt. Fryatt shot, 1916; King
Humbert assassinated 1900; Lord Fisher died,
1920 Andrew Lang died, 1912; Ellen Terry died,
1929, he feels that it is only by some miracle
that he is still alive.
PUT the "inspirational" calendar is even more
depressing, for it offers you daily reminder
Of your own shortcomings. Living with it is
like having breakfast every morning with Ben
jamin Franklin theoretically, it is supposed
to fill you with ambition, but the effect is
usually quite the opposite Instead of glowing
with the fine fervor Of a correspondence school
advertisement you become morose at first and
then downright mean. Your mood Of self
reproach is followed by suspicion that there
is some cosmic conspiracy against you. This
may lead to a complete mental breakdown.
The case of Mr.. c. is horrible example of
what inspirational calendars can do to a man.
Last year Mr.. O. was given calendar called
"The Morning Pepogram." There was leaf
for each day, with neatly printed axiom de-
signed to exalt the reader and encourage him
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-28

in self-improvement. Mr. @. resolved to start
the year right. He put the calendar up on the
walls of his Office right next to the clock, so
that he would read it whenever he looked to
see what time it was.
But when he removed the top sheet ("Janu-
airy Happy New Year!") he read: January
2-The bee doesn't watch clock Why should
you?-Kaufman" Mr.. @. took the hint and
moved the calendar to the other end Of the
room beside the telephone. The golden text
for January was, eff at first you don't suc-
ceed try, try again.-Anonymous." Mr.. @.
glared at it several times during the day while
waiting for central to give him the right num-
her, Finally he went over and tore of the
offending page In doing so he pulled the whole
calendar down. He had to get a hammer to
nail it up again. It wasn't until he had
smashed two fingers and knocked a hole in the
plaster that he noticed the words for January A.
Genius is simply an infinite capacity for taking
pains.-Marden." Mr.. q. decided not to look
at it again until day after tomorrow.
On January the calendar announced that
"a friend in need is q friend indeed.-Plautus."
And Mr.. @. had call from old Jerry Topham,
who used to room with him In college. Jerry
was always friend in need. This time he
needed 5000 and Mt. @. let him have 1t for the
sake of auld lang syne (Burns).
AS soon as Jerry had gone he removed the
current page of the calendar, hoping to hnd
something little less 'ironicaI underneath. For

the help of their context. But when single
lines are lifted out and transplanted all by
themselves the effect is confusing There are
no clews.
On January Burns remarks: 1.-THE best
laid schemes o. mice and men gang aft a-gley."
That's plain enough even if you aren't quite
sure what "a-gley" means But on January
he says: IF there's a hole in a. your coats,
rede ye tent it"-and where are you? On
January he has another lucid interval re-
ferring to midnight as that hour o. nights
black arch the keystane"-only to relapse into
Scottish mist on the following day with IAN
honest mans aboon his might, guild faith, he
mamma ia that" which might mean almost
anything.
Accustomed as we were to having our Scotch
cut, the Burns calendar was too much for us.
After three weeks of worry over missing vowels
we just let it hang.
Historical calendars aren't so distracting;
they simply announce facts-usually facts per-
instance, we have the deaths of Barring Gould,
Sir Ernest Shackleton, Napoleon III, Lenin,
Queen Victoria, William Pitt and Field Marshal
Haig, not to mention the fall of Port Arthur,
the Starchfeld murder the surrender Of Paris
and the birth Of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm. t's
These melancholy anniversaries are recorded
in every thoroughgoing historical calendar, and
while they may be Of the utmost interest TO
an insurance actuary or student of neurology,
they move the average person to nothing more
than mild Self-congratulation. As he reads the

Later on, one doesn't even do that. It's a rare
gift calendar that is disturbed after February.
MOST of the gift calendars in circulation
~ at the present time literary offering
a quotation day from the classics In such
small doses that they never become habit-form-
ing. Sometimes all the quotations are selected
from one writer and the calendar Is called
"Ruskin Day by Day" Through the Year With
Chaucer," or 'Shakespeare's Daily Thought"
1t may be depressing to picture the Swan Of
Avon with clipped wings, limited to one thought
q day. as IL he were working on a schedule for
a newspaper syndicate. But there are many Of
US old Shakespeare lovers who must have our
daily quotation from the myriad-minded bard,
though 1t consist of nothing more than this:
Monday, January $50, hell!"-Midsummer
Nights Dream act /, scene /.
One Christmas some one gave us Around
the Calendar With Bobbie Burns" but we didn't
get very far with Bobbie Personally we can
enjoy Harry LADDERS photograph record as
well as the next fellow provided the next
fellow doesn't nudge us in the ribs to empha-
size the laughs). Dialect however, should be
heard and not seen. Set down in black and

But the gift calendar is tied up with pretty
ribbons; it is so decorative as to be almost IL
legible, and it must be tended as often as q
window box. Some have page for each week,
but most of them have to be pruned daily to
keep them up to date-and when you attempt
to seize Time by the forelock all you can get
hold of is silk tassel.
Calendars are unsatisfactory Christmas gifts
because they are non-negotiable. If you are
given a copy of THE Royal Road to Romance"
by Richard Halliburton, you simply remove
the card or erase the inscription and send 1t
on to your niece at Ward-Bemont next Christ
mas. Pullman slippers, cigarette lighters and
even plum puddings are as good one time
another-which Is saying very little. But
calendar is ephemeral; you can't pass it on I'M
less you happen to know somebody who has a
birthday between December 26 and January l.
There is nothing more useless than 1880
Daily Reminder in 1881, unless 1t is that ball
Of tinfoil you started to save during the war.
But the insidious thing about gift calendars
Is that, even when outmoded, they seem little
too handsome to throw away: consequently the
attics Of the Nation are full Of them. In fact,
one hes -ates to tear of the current pages part
ly because of the charming sentiments inscribed
upon them, but chiefly because they are printed
on heavy bristol board, and in order to tear
them out 1t would be necessary to remove the
whole calendar from the wall and wrestle with
1t. So at first one merely lifts the pages and
peeks under them to find out what day 1t Is.

-7HIS Winters crop of calendars is
smaller than usual. The insurance
company seems to have overlooked us,
and the butcher has failed to come
across with his customary Young
Lady Inhaling a Lily. CWhy butchers invariably
select simpering blondes as calendar nlustra-
lions is something that only psychologist
could explain.) So far we have received no
Indian in-a-Canoe from the lumber company
and not single Wounded Stag from the hard
ware store.
We used to be able to count on very lux
urious Autograph from the bank every year
usually historical scene of. battle and blood
shed, which was designed to make us appreciate
the blessings of peace and per cent. But
there is nothing from the bank this year. Per-
haps, following the trend of the times, it Is
merging 1891 with 1882 and will send us con-
solidated calendar next year. But that doesn't
help us much right now. Unless some kind
hearted tradesman comes to our rescue we will
be obliged to use one of the calendars we re-
ceived for ChristmaS-or else 60 Cro-Magnon

rises
There is a great difference between the adj
Vertising calendar and the gift calendar. The
former is fashioned for utility; it hangs on
brass loop and you can read it half block
away on a clear day. The leaves have to be
torn of only once a month.

Chairman of 1883 World Exposition, in Chicago,
 Makes Forecast

CHICAGO, Jan. l. - William R.. Dawes, Chicago barker and chair man of the Chicago 1883 exposi- tion committee, expects to see business back to normal by the spring of 1880.
 If this proves to be an accurate prediction, and if the farmers have good luck with their crops, 1880 should be a good year, said Mi Dawes, who is a brother of the Ambassador to Great Britain and one of the most notable civic work CTS in Chicago
 The natural psychological reac- tion to the drop in stock prices will have some effect on business, MT. Dawes feels. There has been a tendency to retrench even among those not directly affected by the market, he declared. This he ex-

OUTLOOK GOOD THIS YEAR FOR
 TIMBER TRADE
Cut Last Year Larger than Tn 28-Expect Good
 Volume Tn 1850

The prospects for the timber in dustry in 1930 are excellent, accord ing to a preview of that trade is- sued today from district headquar- ters here of the United States For est Service. Domestic conditions are favorable to the industry and the local demand for lumber and tim Der, from all indications, will be even larger than last year.
 This year, also. is expected to bc of importance in the pulp and pa- per development program. On the whole, the forests of Alaska should make considerable development pro- gresis in 1880.
 Makes Slight Gain
 The timber cut from the National Forests of Alaska during the calen- dar year 1929 was 42,947.o00 feet. This was about six per cent more than in 1928, but is materially un- der the average annual cut for the preceding five-year period. De- yelopment of the tie business was one of the features of the industry for the year Southeast Alaska is now furnishing many Of the ties used on the Alaska Railroad. About 75,c00 were supplied it last year and contracts have been placed for 1880 for 100000 standard and 10000 marrow guage ties.
 Most of the Southeast Alaska sawmills had excellent results last year. The Juneau Lumber Mills cut for 1929 was s,5o0,o0o board feet. This was divided into one quarter hemlock and the remainder spruce. It exported about 250,000 beard feet of clear spruce to Seat tie.
 Outlook Is Excellent
 All of the mills are preparing for an unusually good year in 1880. The salmon canning industry, re- ported to be in sound financial shape, is looking forward to suc- cessful season this year. This will be reflected in the timber industry which supplies logs for traps and box shocks and other lumber for the salmon packers. The tendency of late years has been from the driven to floating traps. The lat ter use the largest spruce logs ob- tainable and there has been a marked increase in the demand for this class of material.
