In this as I'm other features. II dif
fers from the calendar reform bill. In

That bill sought to make the months

avoldable In year with IL months. II
Is thought better to increase that diff.
ference so as to allow OF the week be-
ing a common measure OF all months

for each month to begin on Sunday

A table giving the proposed fixed
calendar shows that the months OF

August. October and November would
each consist of 2S days, while the re
naming months Of March, June. Sep

have 80 days. New Year day" is set
apart, thus bringing the total Of days
up to the requisite number o. 365 days.

No Money For Picture censors.

Because the last Legislature which
enacted the law providing the State
censorship of all moving picture films
and other pictures intended for public
display failed to make an appropria-
tion for the payment of salaries of cen
sors or their expenses, no appoint
ments to carry out the provisions of
the law will be made by the Governor.
This announcement was made at the
Capitol, and nothing will be done until
the General Assembly sets aside the
funds. The bill for censorship of the
films was presented by Representa-
tive George w. Allen, of Allegheny
county, and provided for two censors
to pass on all films, which were to be
shown before censors in order to OBJ
