CONGRESSMAN TRIES TO REVISE CALENDAR
"Liberty Calendar Bill" Would Make Year of Thirteen Equal Months
Washington D. C., May 22 — "The Liberty Calendar Bill," introduced in the house of Representatives by Thomas D. Schall, of Minnesota, aims to do away with our present calendar to constitute a new and improved edition
The purpose is to standardize the months and years, and revise the measure of time so that it will not be necessary to have a calendar on hand to determine the day of the month. It is contended by those who are investigating that the thing we use the most—our measure of time, is a curious hodge-podge senseless and inconvenient.
The proposed Liberty Calendan comprises thirteen months of exactly four weeks each, each week having seven days. The names and order of the months are: January, February, Library, March, April, May, June, September, October, November, and December. Each month will begin on Monday, which will be designated at the first day of the week, Sunday occurring on the seventh day. Thus every day of the month is the first, eighth, ninth, the week, is the first, eighth, fifteenth, and twenty-second days of any month would always fall on Monday.
Thirteen months of twenty-eight days each would make a year of only 204 days. Accordingly, to make up the shortage of one day, New Year would be made a biday, yet not be named as any day of the month; moreover it is also to be inserted in the same manner only as part of the calendar year. It is to be inserted between the last day of June and the first July.
REMODELING BINDERY ROOM
Journalism Press Facilities Are Improved
A new ceiling is being put on similar to that of the other rooms used by the Journalism Press, and the walls will be refinished and painted.
The bindery room of the Journalism Press is being remodeled this week. Two smaller rooms, one formerly used for an addressing room and the other for storage purposes, have been combined with the bindery room to make one large room, which will be used for bindery, addressing room, mailing room, and for Supt. Guy Pennick's office.
Some new equipment will be added to the office for next year, and the job presses will be moved from the composing room into the main press room.
A new floor will be put in at a later date, possibly of concrete. At the present time, according to Superintendent Pennock, the bindery equipment will not be increased, but he hopes to expand this department so as to care for book binding of all kinds.

Billy's Pies and Baked Beans At Mount Oread's First Cafe Kept up Morale of Old Guard
Years ago Mount Oread had a regular eating place within fifty feet of Fraser. This was a little square box affair that stood the other side of the i峡 hedge, facing the front door of Fraser. They called it it "Billy's" after Billy Reynolds who graduated in '00 and is now deceased.
"Billy's" was noted not merely for the "bility of Mrs. Bettie's baked beans and pies, but for the quality of kindness that pervaded the whole place. The full capacity of the place was about twenty-five or thirty feet, and there was always a waiting list behind the stools at noon.
Mrs. Beaty is as well remembered as Billy himself, for her cooking and her kindness to the needy students. She tided more than one over the
anxious time when he was "waiting to hear from home." She had her own ideas of keeping up the morale of the place and quelled many an incipient riot when feeling ran high between the laws and the engineers.
After a few years time, "Billy's" was succeeded by a student cafeteria conducted by the department of economy in the basement of Fraser Hall. It had a short stay on the campus and has taken its place until the erection of the new University Commons. But "Billy's" 'place will ever be a fond memory with the old guard, because of the genuine affection which the stockly built, alert, and blue-eyed student-promoter had for the students.
