That is the way industry and business take care of increased demands and that is the way engineers meet situations. If the people want more of the products of manufacturers, more factories are built; if there is a congestion of traf- fic, additional transportation facilities are provided; and if increased sloughing or overflow interfere with engineers they provide the means for caring for the In private matters men will not tol- of the service demanded in conditions. And so it way a is not interference. erate the curtailment order to meet unexpected ought to be with the courts. They ought to do the work that has to be done, and if there are no enough courts to do it more should be created. | It has been urged that it would not be possible to provide room quickly for enough courts to care for the existing situation. Well, similar situations | have been met before now. New York for a time)| met the demand for more school room by working the available room double shifts. Why not hav two court shifts—or three, if need, or four? Courts do not usually work over six hours to a shift, nnd‘ days are twenty-four hours long. It would be ani easy matter to. arrange for two or three court shifts. Or, by introducing the dog watch system | they have at sea so there would be no lunch time lost court rooms, the, judicial mills could grind! continuously day and night. That would enable| them to consume several times as many criminal charges as they are now disposing of. by SCIENTIST EXPLAINS NEW CALENDAR. B \ If present agitation to make the calendar year| consist of 13 equal 28-day months is successful, we may all find ourselves with an extra holiday on our hands. The extra day, the last one of the year, would be a holiday called “year day.” In leap years another holiday called “leap day” would be inserted in midsummer. . Prof. C. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture, says the proposal to make the calendar fixed and perpetual by giving nonweekdays names to “year day” and “leap day” is believed by a number 01: students who have investigated the higtory of the| calendar to be in reality an effort to follow the; ancient Mosaic plan to begin every year on the same day of the week. For this purpose, he explains, the day we now call Pentecost was combined by Moses with the preceding day as one prolonged Sabbath day, in com- memoration of the great events of the Exodus which occurred when the children of Israel were before Mount Sinai and received the Commandments of the Lord. According to this view, Moses set up the first “perpetual” calendar in history, each year beginning on the same week day, at or near the vernal equinox. The first five months contained 30 days each, the sixth month had 33 days, and the first half year 183 days. The second half year, similar to the first, began the autumnal €equinox. near STATE RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA. State rights has become a very live issue in Australia. The Commonwealth has submitted to the voters of the several States the question of abandoning their State Legislatures and govern- ments and centering all authority in the Federal Government. Australia is organized similar to the Tnited States, except that she has only a half ¢ozen States as compared to the four dozen we ha;e in this country One would think, particularly when he considers that the area of Australia is about the same as that of the United States, that the tendency there would be the creation of more States rather than the abolition of those she has. LEGION COMMANDER CLEARS ISSUE. In a recent address in St. Louis, O. L. Boden- hamer, National Commander of The American Legion, cleared the atmosphere of any misunder- standing by fair-minded people as to the Legion's effort looking to a study of the principle of uni- versal service in time of war. As to those who misunderstand the Legion's effort intentionally, there will be no further excuse for them to erect straw men in order to knock them down. The National Commander said: In fairness to those who oppose the uni- versal draft principle as such or any of the plans offered for its operation, and in fairness to those who advocate the adoption of this principle into law, it seems to us that Congress should authorize a special and competent commission te study this problem cond Class |1 The | | flag TH to and method and of procedure report a .specific plan Commander 10t made it of ha T ional plair the only advocating The That course Resolution, which doe: does provide for a principle of “equal service for to none.” This comm that should be it would be composed of represe nts of our national life and busine the Legion s any Congress. fc Reed-Wainwright proposed in Legion course it is following is « plan, t cc and profit plan 1ce a agreeable 1 Literary Digest wet and dry poll s t: e wets léading by more than three and a If this thing keeps on the drys ought agree that the hibition Amendment should aken out of the Cor ution quickly, It is ridiculc | to large sums .of money fruitless attempts at enforcing want | to one. continue to waste blood that people do not shed in The about the faces on the new currency as he is abou hands on it. avers getting his Visionary and Illogic (New York Herald Tribune.) Senator Vandenberg’s plan for renouncing Amer- an sovereignty over the Philippines in 1940 is King's proposal for immediate reunciation. It volves a ten-year trial of Philippine “autonomy,” including application of American tariff laws | Philippine products entering the rest of the United |States. After half decade of such an experimen even the most emotional Filipino politicians prol ably would be clamoring for a return to the present jorder, with its invaluable economic privileges. |the independistas in Congress, if by 1940 they did the Vandenberg plan, might con of even greater cruelty to the Filipino |people than would be involved in casting them adrift tomorrow. For if they are bent on doing a thing which is equally deplorable from the point (of view of Filipino welfare and from the point of iview of American duty and interest, they might {well try to do it now, when at least some of | Filipinos half believe that they are competent | wrestle with the ominous problems of independe: (rather than later, when they will have become |demoralized and embittered by the demonstrated |economic and political failure of semi-independ- ence. ! A few of our independista politicians wish to get irid of the Philippines at any price, simp and olely to put an end to Philippine agricultural cc petition in our market. They would haul dow and speed the islands out as an tariff legislation, a handy substitute mestic beet and cane sugar bounty. Mr. berg does not subscribe to that narrow and ignoble policy. He told the Senate that he would not vote for summary independence for economic reasons, nd also that he would not help to “penalize the ilipinos so long as they are under the American flag.” Such an announcement does him credit. He knows, too, that this country, with full control and authority over the Philippines, could blame only its own incompetence if any serious differences of economic interest between the archipelago and the rest of the United States were not successfully composed by legislation. Tariff autonomy is per- fectly practicable for the Philippines, as Mr. Borah has pointed out, if Congress wants to authorize it under the present regime. The fundamental ob- Jection to any conditional or unconditioned promise of independence for the Philippines arises from !he patent fact that the people of the islands are In no sense prepared for independence and that to thrust it upon them, apart from the immorality and folly of such action on our part, would cer- tainly condemn them to political anarchy and con- quest and to economic ruin, the to Scrapping the Olympia. (New York Times.) The recommendation of Rear Admiral Day’s board of inspection that the Olympia, Dewey’s flagship, be removed “from the navy list, either by sale or by such other disposition as may be warranted by her historical value,” is something for the American people to think about. The Olympia is held to be obsolete, and on that judgment seems destined to the scrap heap. But as the flagship that led an American flag into battle in the Far East she is more than mere steel and iron. She is an exhibit of a victory that foreshadowed the end of Spanish colonial dominion in the Pacif; ey ic and in the New It is for Congress to say whether the Olympia shall be preserved for her historic associations.
