NEW CALENDAR IS
M|L|EU PROPOSAL
Advocate Would Have Months
Changed Irrespective Of
Desires of Church.

The universal calendar will have five
months of thirty-one days each. fol-
lowed by seven Of thirty days each, II
the plan of Juste Milieu becomes ef-
fective.
why let the church run the business
worid?" says Milieu, In his argument
against continuing the present calendar
system. which he says is a nuisance to
every business man. Let the church
have its Easter as 1t wishes, and let
the new moon decide this and that part
of their calendar, but, in the name of
common sense, let the business world
have a new calendar"
Milieu, who, by the way, admits that
In only his pen name, believes that the
business mans calendar should be con-
,structed as follows:
December. January, February. March
and April should have thirt; one days.
The remaining seven months should
have thirty days. Then every fourth
year. to make up the extra day for leap
year. just add an extra day to May"
This plan -he says would do away
with the present Inconvenience result
ing from having one month tnirty DAYS,
the next thirty-one. the next thirty
one. and still another twenty y-eight and
so on.
He declares that his plan would
make the figuring of interest, the COM
putaticn Of bills. and many other ous!-
ness transactions far simpler than at
present.

STONE IS IMPATIENT
At EXTENDED DELAY
Senator Wants to Know Why
Congressional Committee Is
Without Chairman.

''what is the mysterious power be-
hind the scenes which keeps delaying
the election of a chairman" asked
Senator William ]. Stone of Missouri.
at the third meeting of the Democratic
Congressional campaign committee.
why can't we elect a chairman to-
night?" Nobody had satisfactory
answer.
: The Congressional committee met last
night in accordance with a third call
issued by Chairman Lloyd, who Is about
TO retire. President Wilson. upon two
previous occasions. had suggested de-
lay in the reorganization of the COM
mitfee. and his wishes were followed.
At last nights meeting Congressman
Ben johnson Of Kentucky was named
chairman without objection. AS fore
cast in The Times, Mr.. johnson prompt
" resigned. and then asked that the
election of a chairman be deferred for
three weeks.
This prompted Senator Stones query.
The Senator said he was tired of COM
ing over here and doing nothing" Sen-
ator James said the campaign was
eighteen months away and the election
OF q chairman could be deferred with
out hurting anybody.
The election of Mr.. Johnson was
moved by Congressman Flood, Of vir-
ginia- AS soon as the Kentuckian had
been named chairman, he asked unani-
nous consent to withdraw and he was
excused after holding the job less than
hve minutes.
Mr.. Johnson,s friends knew in nd-
vance he would take this step and the
AFFAIR last night was cut-and-dried.
Answering persistent reports that Presi-
0ont Wilson Was opposed to Congress
man Johnson Mr.. Lloyd told the COM
nittee that President Wilson had de-
MED this.
Reports were that the opposition Of
the President to the Kentuckian was
predicatej on the advice of one or
more of his Cabinet officials.
Mr.. johnson said last night that his
duties as chairman of the House Dis
trfct Committee would be about all he
could handle, and he didn't want to
take the craftsmanship. Up to few
weeks ago the friends OF the Kentuck-
ian were working ceaselessly in his be-
half. and he was supposed to want
both places.
= The Congressional committee decided,
in line with Presidents tip, that there
shall be an Increased Senate member
ship on the committee. During the 1914
campaign twenty instead of nine Sena-
tors win participate in the fight to
perpetuate Democratic control of the
Senate and House.
