The National Housewives’ League, representing 800,000 Ameri- ean families, has appealed directly to President Wilson, declaring that “unless a way is devised to protect our people, suffering such as this © @ountry has rarely felt will ensue.” An agent for large Eastern flour | mills reports that “if present conditions continue we shall have no hore wheat to cell after March, and that will mean a pretty bad situa- tiom in the United States and abroad as well. I fear that flour will go above ¢8 wholesale.” _ That epeculative greed will keep its hands off such tempting con- itions is too much to expect. Utmost vigilance and prompt prosecu- ‘tion are needed to head off illegal combinations eure to seek profit in © the situation.

Besides these, 4,312 non-stock compn- | nies and 534 foreign corporations were organized, making a total of ' 16,374 companies from which the State collected $141,802.56 in fees. % “This growth,” Secretary Hugo points out, “cloarly emphasizes "the importance of our corporation laws in attracting capital even from ‘many foreign States and countries.” ~ .

TROUSERS ay’ Copretgit, 1916, by The Prem Publishing Oo, (The New York Krening Wotld), No. 17.—OCT. 5, 1582; When Our Calendar Began. HIS article will be less stupid than ite title implies, and it will tell you some interesting things you don't know, and that the man next door doesn’t know. i Do you know, for example, whose vanity caused the whole’ calendar to be snarled up, just so that he could get his namé, | {nto {t and give his n&me-month as many days as his uncle's? Or that the year used to have ten months and 304 days? Or how February was robbed to pad out August, or why certain months have thirty days and others have thirty-one; or why 1900 was not a leap year; or that George Washington was born on Feb. 11 and not on Feb. 227 It was Pope Gregory XIII. who gave us our present calendar; setting almost the whole world forward by ten days. His calendar went into effect on Oct. 6, 1582. So much for the “date you should remember.” The Romans used to divide the year into 304 days, and into ten months, Later (in 713 B. C.) it was divided into twelve months and into 355 days, This was @ miscalculation that cheated each year out of about. ten days. And during the next seven centuries these yearly ten days piled up until, by 46 B, C., the official date for the beginning of “spring” fell in midsummer, ‘ Thén it was that Julius Caesar, who had conquered everything else, conquered the queer time system. He reorganized the calendar, &. ® making the “civil” year agree almost entirely with the A’ Year of “eolar” year, He did this by giving each year 366 1-4 14 Months. days; or rather allowing 365 days to three consecutive ‘» years, and 366 to the fourth or leap year. Boginning with January (and excepting February) he gave each alternate month 31 days, and the intervening months 30 days. This left lebruary 29 days and on leap year 30 days. To bring spring Back to its proper date he decreed that for one year —46 B, C.—there should be fourteen months. From this the ancients called 46 B.C, “The Year of Confusion.” Caesar kept on the names of most of the old months, though January was now the first month of tho year. September, October, November and December had meant “Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth” months (from the Latin “septem, octo, novem and decem") when the year had begun in March. The names were retained, though they now meant nothing. One month alone did Julius Caesar rob of its title, That was the old fifth month, “Quintilis.”| He renamed this in honor of himself, “Julius,” or “July” as we call it. His reorganization of time was known as the “Julian calendar.” It endured for many centuries, Caesar was murdered and soon afterward his nephew ruled the world under the title of “Caesar Augustus.” Augustus was magnificently conceited. 8 Julius Caesar had dono. nd named it “Augustus' AND Now CHASE THe DUST ARouND THE HOUSE - NO USE CHASING A LITTLE BALL AROUND THE LINKS, For EXERCISE WHEN You HAVE A HOHE . JOHN shortened later to “August.” Then Augustus discovered that his month had only 80 days, while his had 31, He would not play second fiddle to any man, dead or living. So he tacked an extra day onto August. This threw the whole calendar into a muddle, There was one day too many in the year, and there were three thirty-one day months in succession. To straighten, out this tangle Augustus cut one day off February (leaving that month oniy 28 days long, and 29 In leap year.) He also changed September and Novem- + ber into thirty-day months and October and December into thirty-one-day months, This solved both problems and left the Julian calendar more or leas intact. But In a few centuries it was discovered that Caesar had made a mistake eleven minutes a year in his calender, This mistake amounted to about one day in 130 years. In the teenth century an Italian physician, Aloysius Lillus, pointed out this error and framed a plan for correcting it. Pope Gregory XIIL laid the plan before a conference of learned men, and os @ result the present, or Gregorian, calendar was devised. The eleven minuto lapse per year was made up for by setting time forward by ten days and by ordaining that no “century year’ which was not divisible by 400 should henceforth be a leap year, That is why 1900 was not a leap year; 1600 A. D, @ was the last century leap year, and 2000 will be the next. Ten Days Cut Oct. 5, 1582—the date when the change was made— From Calendar.? became Oct. 15. For centuries after that a part of the emmaaaagamaaads world still used the old Julian calendar, England and ther American colonies did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1762. Mr. Jarr, a J Pp Ahead of Trouble, There was by that timo eleven days’ difference between the two. (There is now about 12 days.)
