Je6ersOn's Birthdav.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
If. as is proposed. Jeffersons birthday is
made a public holiday 1t Is to be hoped
that the correct day, April 13. will be used
and not the I'd. as mentioned in the bill.
Jefferson was born April 2, l7i3. but so was
Washington born February II, 1872. but both
were o. 8. After 1752. when England &C
cepted the correction in the calendar. their
respective anniversaries fell on February
% and April Is. While Jefferson was sec.
ond only to Washington. and probably was
the only prominent man who stood be-
tween this country and far less demo-
cratic government-that Is, he was the raj.
lying point that made this present form OF
government possible-yet 1t Is probable that
there Is not enough popular enthusiasm
about him to make the proposed holiday q
success.
