Six Strokes of the Pen Will Express Approaching Date

Nothing but figure ones will be needed to tell the date on Nov. 11 next, and It may be some satisfaction to busy persons who like to save time and energy to know that they can write the date on their letters, bills and what not with, six strokes of the pen, thus, 11-11-11. Calendar makers further tell us that eleven years from now we can write one of our dates entirely in twos, Feb. 22, 1922, is the date. It may be written 2-22-22; Last Jan. 11 the date could have been recorded with five strokes of the pen, 1-11-11. * . Wi
