was rash-almost impious--tO sug-
gest change In It. Give us back
our eleven days!' cried a mob when
the GregOrian calendar was intro
duced into Great Britain. From the
days of Julius Caesar to our own, he
has been bold reformer indeed who
would suggest changes In the disor-
derby procession of the months. Now
enters Moses B. Cotsworth of VIC
toria, b. c., with q proposal for a
rational calendar He would divide
the year into thirteen months, each
of twenty-eight days, which would
leave one extra day in the year, and
this he beautifully plans as a free
day for every one-free from inter-
est charges on money, the necessity
to work, the wage scale, etc. Then
each month would commence on
Sunday and the first, eighth, fif-
teen and twenty second days of each
month would be Sundays. President
Hadley Of Yale Is quoted as saying
that the month Of four weeks "will
come as a commercial necessity" The
adjustment to the change would be
very small compared to that neeessl-
tated when standard time was in
troduced on trans-continental rail-
ways. Mr. Cotsworth has literature
to distribute poking fun at the pres
ent system. If he wins, says The
Journal of the American Medical
Association, school children need no

A Boon For the Baldheaded.

A Budapest physician has discov-
cred method of planting hair in
the scalp. The natural inference
from this statement is that he plows
the scalp and sows hair seed, but
such is not the case. Neither does
he set the hairs out like fruit trees
or tomato plants-that is, not quite.
The physicians name is szekely, and
his method Is best described in the
language of the cable message re-
counting his success 1t says:
DR.. Szekely's method is simple
enough. An almost invisible gold
wire is bent into a tiny loop in which
Is placed a sterilized hair from a
woman's head and the two are fast
ened to an injection needle. The
hair is drawn to the point of needle
and the wire is bound round it and
cut off about two millimeters from
the bend, so that a tiny hook ad-
heres to the needle, This is then
stuck into the scalp and withdrawn,
leaving the hair together with the
gold wire implanted in the skin
From 800 to 500 hairs can be i'm
planted in this way in an hour with
out pain,
Subjects of the experiment were
recently exhibited before the Royal
Medical society, and it was demon
strated that the living wig" could
be brushed, combed and washed with
out loss of the hair or discomfort to
the patient. Not only 50. but another
physician stated that he had found
those who had worn the grated
hair for several years--in one case
for five and one-half years-and the
hair was still smooth and soft.
One advantage OF planted locks
would be that the wind could not
blow them off, TO the owners en-
barrassment, nor could ones wife
snatch him baldheaded in q fit of
temper or to keep him home nights.
With gold wire and the planting of
individual hairs the fprice would
probably be high, and with living
