REFORMING THE CALENDAR.

The fourth International Congress
~ Chambers OF Commerce and Com
merciaI and Industrial associations
was held in London last June. all the
principal natiouaIties being well rep
resented among the $50 delegates I'm
attendance.
The first question discussed by the
conference was amending the Gregg
riau calendar and establishing a fixed
International calendar and a fixed
date FOR Easter. The date suggested
was the first sunday after April 4.
one Of the arguments in favor OF
such calendar reform was that the
date suggested for Easter Sunday was
the most practical. because it was the
average Of the possible dates for ttat
festival. and Il was also the best date
from the religious point Of view, be-
cause it approached nearest to the
date on which. according to the cal
culations Of theologiaus and astrono-
mers. Christ died.
In the working out OF this scheme
OF calendar reform New Years day
and Leap day are set apart as spe-
cial days outside Of the months and
weeks. BY that ingenious device they
obtained the desirable result OF hav-
Ing each year practically the same
Leap day" was intercalated between
tho months Of June and July. This
system also arranged absolute equality
in the length OF quarters Cninety-one
days) and each week. month and
quarter began on a Sunday.
BY way OF illustration a calendar
was exhibited showing the first and
/ second month Of each quarter with
| exactly four weeks. while the thirt

month contained five weeks. Thus
each period closed clear and definite.
The claim was made that such a
calendar would be an enormous boon

adoption numberless references would
be more easily traced. many appoint
mcnts more easily settled. oscillatiug
events would become fixed. and terms.
markets. holidays, festivals. anniver-
saries. birthdays and a host Of other
events which now change with every
changing year would always fall on
the same day OF the week.
The opinion was unanimously ex-
pressed that Easter should be a fixed
festival. The principle OF a perpetual
calendar was approved. but there was
a wide difference Of opinion as to de-
tails. The resolution assigning a
fixed date 60 Easter and approving
the principle Of a perpetual calendar
was agreed 60. The resolution was
referred 10 the permanent committee.

stating that although ne could not
speak definitely. he thought IL very
probable that his government would
take the initiative I'm calling a confer

This subject has been exploited for
a year or two. and it may be that the

mercial interests Of the world have
taken the matter Up.

WHOLESALE THEFT
BY BAKERS DRIVER

Newark. n. J., August 26.-A bakers
driver at SIS week by vocation, James
F. Kelly, was by instinct connoisseur in
general His fondness for delicacies and
a consequential depletion of the stock of
a fancy grocer at whose shop he called
every morning led to his arrest today.
Search of his rooms uncovered mis-
cellaneous merchandise valued by the
police at $1,000. He wore a diamond ring
worth 1920 and diamond stud worth $500
more, while in his bureau were found a
diamond brooch worth $1,000, a diamond
horseshoe pin, diamond set bracelet and
several women's rings. In the celer were
found three barrels of empty champagne
bottles and three baskets of full quarts.
Kelly called to deliver his bread early
and the Waterman of the grocery store
allowed him the run of the place. De-
tectives are now working to account for
the diamonds. They say that Kelly was
formerly a prize fighter, known in the
ring as Cyclone" Kelly.
