Field, Ramsdel, who was playing at half,

turn TO the game unless Hutchinson Scott,
the quarter back, was taken out Ramsdell
asserted that Scott had deliberately re
fused to give him the BAN during the first
period in order TO spoil his record and
place him in a bad light in the eyes of the
foot ball experts who were witnessing the
game.

This is the way it happened: The Louis

bitter fight was being made on the Louis
lana state lottery and Samuel d. Nc
Emery Harry Williams was cover

REVISION OF THE CALENDAR
Proposed Changes Have Manifest Al
vantaEes and very Serious
Objections.

The proposition comes from Switzerland
to the nations to join in scientific re-
vision OF the calendar. The suggested re-
vision involves the setting aside in each
year Of ffty-two days for Sundays, and
these. together with New Years day, are
treated as DAYS not to be counted. This
leaves 312 days, which may be evenly APP
portioned between the twelve months of
the year. Such a calendar would have man
fest advantages, but also has serious OBJ
jections. II involves an eight-day separa-
ton Of Sundays once each year by Now
Years day and in leap years also by leap
year day. The week which has been reg
ularly observed from the earliest times
would thereby have to be disturbed and
such a disturbance would, no doubt; pre-
vent acceptance by a large body OF the
people because Of the religious observ-
ances which have become fixed in their
relations with It. There are also many
activities nseparabe with modern civil
zation which cannot be suspended for
Sundays and New Years day and for
which it is imperative that all days be
counted
That the present calendar has annoying
Irregularities must be conceded, but how
they were introduced and the natural and
simple calendar which would result from
their elimination does not seem to have
occurred to any Of the would-be reform
ers.
When Julius Caesar undertook the re-
vision Of the calendar his astronomical
advisers gave him the length OF the trop-
ical year at 1861 days. This length, though
1t Is III minutes in error, which is now
corrected, astronomers generally feel
should have been adhered TO for the sake
OF simplicity julius Caesar therefore,
decreed that each year should have 365
or s66 days. Custom had also established
length OF months, which divided into
this year length about twelve times How
to divide this length in to twelve parts and
most evenly distribute the days is an easy
exercise in numbers, and the simple rogu-
larity which is possible is something Of a
surprise. That the problem was solved
and submitted to Julius Caesar would seem
probable although there Is no direct war
rant in history. for It was the kind OF
problem at which the mathematician Of
those days we're peculiarly adept. This is
