new ZEALAND IS
FIRST TO CELEBRATE
1914 viii Arrive There Hours
before II Reaches U. S.

TSHE birth of new year, as we
| are all aware, is yariously Gel
y ebrated. but how many people
know the manner in which
! that momentous date is set? Do you
know that the new year is really hours
old before the bulk of the civilized
world is able to celebrate it!
Priority in rejoicing over the event
is actually given to the untutored in
habitants of the islands of the south
Pacific. The first Of the civilized world
that will greet 1914 will be the people
| of faraway New Zealand. Sweeping
westward, the change of date crosses
Asia and then the old world of Europe
and Africa before starting over the
Atlantic to America. Onward it speeds
at the rate of thousand miles an
hour until the first day of the new
year dies away in the middle of the
Pacific.
In the United States the idea of an
nouncing broadcast over the land the
birth of the new year originated with
the officers in charge of the Naval OBJ
servatory in Washington. Ten years
ago it was suggested that the tele
graph companies dispatch at midnight
from Washington Il series of signals
proclaiming the exact moment of the
new years beginning. The idea was
taken up, and signals were sent out at
midnight and at Il. : and 3 o'clock in
the morning following in order that
each great time division. of the United
States should receive its own appropri-
ate midnight signal from the nations
capital.
Since the beginning of this service
other telegraph and most of the cable
companies have lent their cooperation.
and signals are now sent covering both
North and South America. all our colo
NAL possessions, Australia. Japan and
the principal nations of Europe. Some
idea Of the speed with which these
New Year greetings are flashed from
Washington to distant points can be
gathered from the fact that it takes
less than four-tenths of a second to
reach the Manila observatory. five
tenths of second to reach Lick OBJ
servatory, California; 30 seconds to
cover the distance between Washing
ton and the coast survey station in
Alaska this includes relayingr and
four seconds to LET the Wellington OBJ
servatory in New Zealand know that
the new year has reached us after the
celebration there has been hours old
and folks are in bed

GIRL OF TODAY.

The typical American girl of
today differs from the girl of six
ty years ago in that she is more
artificial. She has more accom-
pliShments. but not so many SOL
id requirements She has to be
differentiated into the society
girl and the girl who is not
what might be called social
factor in one of our great cen
tiers. Fashionable girls are so
few in comparison to the rest
that think among the great
mass of the latter must be found
the typical American girl. But
the girl who represents great
many American women in the
country differs from the type of
sixty years ago only in this. that
she is more travelled and her
horizon is broader. Her educa-
ton is on higher plane. but
she knows less of domestic ac-
compliShments and is more eX-
pensive as Il wife until she learns
them.-Chauncey NJ. Depew.
