HOW CALENDAR AFFECTS
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
Father Of His Country Born on
February II, 1892, Accord
ing to Records.
CORRESPONDS WITH FEB. %

George Washington, father of his
country. whose birthday anniversary
| is being observed today. was born OF
February IL, 1892. Few people are
familiar with the facts concerning the
change I'm the calendar dates which
make it possible for February IL, the
real anniversary of Washington
birth TO correspond with February %,
which is celebrated as legal holiday.

In 1852. England adopted the calen-
dar now i'm use, the Julian or Roman
Calendar having been found to be
grossly erroneous. AS Virginia was at
that time an English colony, the
change affected washington's birthday
anniversary, making it Feb. 22 instead
of Feb. II.
Luigi Lilo Ghiraldi, frequently call
ed Aloyslus, physician of Verona,
was the protector of the present CAL
endar devised I'm the sixteenth CEN
fury to correct the errors of the old
Roman calendar. After the death of
Ghiraldi, the calendar was presented to
Pope Gregory XIII. who called an as
sembly OF prelates and learned men
to carry it into execution. In 1877, the
proposed change was adopted by all
the Catholic princes; and i'm 1852, Gre
CORY issued a brief abollshing the Ju
liam calendar in all Catholic countries,
and introducing in dts stead, the one
now i'm use under the name of of the
Gregorlan or reformed calendar or the
new STYLE" as the other was now
called the "old style"
The amendment ordered was this:
Ten days were to be cropped after
the Attn of October, 1882, and the 18TH
was reckoned Immediately after the
4th. Every Tooth year. which, by the
old style was to have been leap year,
was now to be common year, the
fourth excepted; that is 1900 was to
remain a leap year but 100. 1900 ana
1900 to be of common length and 1000
again a leap year. In this calendar
the length of the solar year was taken
TO be 365 days. 3 hours, 40 minutes
and 70 seconds, the difference between
which and subsequent observations is
immaterial.
In Spain, Portugal and the greater
part of Italy, the amendment was in
troduced according to the pope's in
structions. In France the ten days
were dropped i'm December. the 10th
called the goth. In Catholic Switzer'
land. Germany and the Netherlands
the charge was introduced in the fol

Birmingham'S LabOratOry'S Needs

City Baeheriologist Duncan returns from tour of many cities convinced that Birmingham needs more protection from disease germs. What answered in the lesser city is not equal to the de mands of the greater city. He says we need a completely equipped chemical laboratory one that can be used in all analyses of water and food supplies. This would back up the neurological analyses. affording between them complete tests of all articles of food and of all water brought to the attention of the city government He asks, also, for an incu- bator of cultures. capable of emergency work and also small crematory in which to destroy all dangerous speci- mems.

FRESHMEN WHO ESCAPE
he Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
 Dear, dear. they are suspending soph- omores again, as if hazing were injurious to freshmenl It isn't. It sharpens their wts-if they take it as they should. Be acquiescent, ye little freshmen. Concur with the movement. That was Freshman Horton's way. When the soph- omores broke into his lair and found a trunk inscribed "J P. Horton" they sought him to tell them what the initials stood for. Jonah Pants" said he, and although he suffered the pain of being known ever after as Jonah Pants he was not among those who went under the pump.
 Or. take young Wilson's case. The sophomores requesting Wilson to pose as Apollo Refusing the Beer" He replied Gentlemen. I can pose as Apollo with out difficulty, but something tells me that ought not to refuse the beer He, too escaped the pump. Indeed, you may say freshmen as of maiden ladies, that they are "all right when they have stopped struggling''-and still better if they enter into the spirit of the game and don'' struggle at all.

Caring for COnYiCtS' Families

A prison congress is soon to set in Washington. and one subject that will engage it's attention will relate to the support of the innocent family of the convict during it's breadwinner's term of service. At present no organized plan exists in any state for the support of the convict's family.
 The question is one that appeals to the humane, and yet it is one not free from difficulties. No one wants to encourage crime by telling an intending burglar that no matter what happens his family will not suffer, and yet it seems cruel to leave that family to the uncertain support of charity. Charity does not always re- spond In fact it rarely does, and the congress about to be convened in Wash ington will endeayor to frame a plan that while it leads toward humanity will not encourage crime The line to be drawn is a difficult one but the penalogists who will meet in Washington have studied prison problems long and thoughtfully. and they may be able to suggest a way that would lift the families of convicts out of absolute want and suffering.

Tone of Iron Market

While the pig iron market is still low it is stronger than it was a month ago, A great deal of iron is being melted and the demand for next year is very brisk; but owing to reproduction con- sumers have found it comparatively easy to bear the market.
 The price scredule, however, touched bottom some time ago. It will probably be a long time before we see iron weak at S11. The quotation price is now $11 50 for No and it is expected to harden at SIP before Christmas.

CARLYLE ON BoBBY BURNS

From Carlyles Essay on Burns.
 Contemplating this sad end of Burns, and how he sank unaided by any real help, uncheered by any wise sympathy, generous minds have sometimes figured to themselves, with a reproachful sor- row, that much might have been done for him; that by counsel, true affection and friendly ministrations, he might have been saved to himself and the world. We question whether there Is not more ten- derness of heart than soundness of judg- ment in these suggestions. It seems du- bious to us whether the richest wisest and most benevolent individual could have lent Burns any effectual help.
 Counsel, which seldom profits anyone. he did not need; in his understanding he knew the right from the wrong, as well perhaps as any man ever did; but the persuasion which would have availed him lies not so much in the head as in the heart, where no argument or expostula- tion could have assisted much to impant it. As to money again, we do not believe that this was his essential want, or we'll see how any private man could, even pre- supposing Burns consent, have bestowed on him an independent fortune, with much prospect of decisive advantage. : Many poet has been poorer than Burns; but no one was ever prouder; we, may question whether, without great precau- ton, even a pension from royalty would not have galled and encountered, more than actually assisted him.

S. D. Dow the government dairy ex- pert reached Birmingham last night and will spend the next few days in over hauling and preparing the dairy exhibit at the state fair This model dairy" said MT. Dow, was built by the state fair last year, and proved one of the most attractive and instructive of all the exhibits on the grounds. Its clean Illness and the perfect sanitary measures which alone will insure pure milk was an eye-opener to the average farmer.
 We will have trained men in charge. and every detail of dairy work will be explained. I have heard this dairy com mended by health departments as an ac- tive agency for the improvement of health conditions.
 ''The fair this year will give the farm CT and dairynen the greatest live stock exhibits ever seen in the south.

The Iron Market

Matthew Addy & Co.'s last iron mar ket report says:
 "Tbe determined efforts of consumers to buy for delivery next year at pres ent spot prices and the extreme dis inclination of furnaces to agree to this is the feature of the situation. It Is a battle royal between the two sides in the market Buyers have had things all their own way for more than six months. They have hammered prices down and bully ragged producers in regard to shipments. In a word they have been on horseback and the fur naces have been on foot. And the iron masters are beginning to have mighty fellow feeling with the old prophet who exclaimed, How long, Oh Lord, how long7
 But there has been fair trading dur ing the week on the low level of prices several large lots of pipe iron have been sold. One of the large su- burban concerns have closed for very heavy tonnage for five months ship ment. And there has been a good scat tering buying. There is pending many thousands of tons of iron wanted for next year. Inquiry for 1911 runs up into six figures. The outlook for a real buying movement is most prom ising."
