‘ “PAGE TWO OUR CALENDAR | IS AWKWARD | Prohibit Rational Summa- ‘Yies of Statistical Data | i } Teronto, Ont., Aug. 13.—“Our com- | lex and awkward calendar, with | ronths of unequal strength made | p of weeks plus 1, 2, or 8 da ortioned according to the whim of n old Roman emperor, ubsolutel vrohibits orderly and rational sum aaries of statistical data in suit-| ble ‘units of conveniently increasing | ime.” So said Charles F, Marvin, | hief of the United States weather | vureau at Washington, in his paper | o the phy: section of the Brit-/ ish Association for the Advance- | nent of Science today. Pointing vut that great masses of statistical | fata covering the fields of meteor- | logy, yields and prices of crops, | susiness und economie conditions, re piling up each year but under the handicap of a fantastic calendar, Scene the B. where a wooden clevated train crashed into a steel subway train on the overhead structure of M.

Thus he would advo- ‘ate in addition to simplification of he ‘calendar, the arbitrary division | of the areas of the continents more | convenient than the-present haphaz- ‘ard * grouping into countries, provin- ‘es or states. “Let us promote the adoption of the simple equal-month calendar many others are now advocating, ind thus make it easy for all future | ime at least, to summarize data in units of weeks, fortnights, 4-week months, 13-week quarters, and years af just 52 weeks,” . Prof. Marvin arged. While admitting that the full ben- tit-of such a change would not be felt for many years in the future, the speaker thought that meteorolo- gists in particular might save them- selves a great deal of time by re- grouping all the more important records which are now filed away under the cumbersome system. Leap year would just naturally fit in under this scientist’s scheme. “It is an easy matter to absorb the un- avoidable extra day in common years and the two such extra days in leap years,” the speaker declared. -LUMBERMEN WILL HAVE AN ORGANIZATION Minneapolis, Aug. 13—The black cat with its superstitious nine lives will come into its own here Septem- riber 8, 9 and 10, when thg interna- tional annual meeting of the Conca- tenated Order of Hoo Hoo, fraternal “organization of lumbermen, gets un- der way. For the said cat with its alleged “nine tails and like number of lives, s the accredited mascot of the con- catenation, and will play a part in the sessions which will be attended s=by more than 1,000 lumbermen from all parts of the United States, and }some from Canada, Panama and Mex- “ico ‘and the Philippines, those ar- 3, tanging the event declare. == To further show their disregard of old time superstition, the order has iy3 adopted the figure “9”. Dues are $9.99 and life membership is $99.99. The lumbermen plan an unannounced feature at their “zero hour,” the = ninth minute, the ninth hour, of the “ninth day of the ninth month, The members of the order call £ themselves the “Friends of the For- “est,” and their aim is forest conser- vation and reforestation. Organized in Gurdon, Ark., in 1892 _= bya group of lumbermen who were [ strabded in that town, the order has grown in membership to more than <3 35,090, with local clubs in virtually = every large city of the country. From the! beginning, its endeavor was to profuote good fellowship among all lumbermen, foresters, manufacturers, iS retailers and wholesalers, emphasize the virtue of home ownership, find- ising ‘of ways and means of increasing °* the uses of lumber, and partaking of jeginterest in civic enterprises. =BISMARCK MAN : NAMED OFFICER OF JEWELERS Fargo, Aug. 13.—C.
