A NEW CALENDAR.

why not adopt a new calendar?"
asks Rev. H. p Hames, Spokane
minister.
Nothing doin,'" say we, 1.-The old
one is hard enough to keep track Of"
But to show that a new calendar
is not an idle question, Rev. Mr..
Hames has figured il out carefully
and proposes that on January 1, 1922,
the world (by common consent of
the inhabitants) adopt one he has
made up.
His unique proposal calls for Is
months of 20 days each, the unlucky
one to be termed "Holiday" and to
be sandwiched in between June and
July That would accommodate 1854
days of the year. The extra or
365th day is not counted in any
month, but precedes the first day of
January as New Years day.
He also has arranged to take care
of the extra day on leap year. He
would have this fall in the new
month of Holiday, between. Saturday,
Holiday 18th, and Sunday. Holiday
18th, and he proposes to call it Leap
Year day and treat it just as New
Years is treated. Under the Hames
perpetual calendar system each month
would begin on Sunday and end on
Saturday
Some of the advantages which he
ascribes to the system are:
Each month has the same number
of days-like a school month.
The, same date in each month falls
on the same day of the week.
A printed civil calendar for each
month are identical with those of
the first month.
The calendar is good for all time
to come, and, like Bill Nye's Railway
Guide, twill be just as good two years
ago as it was next spring"
Holidays, anniversaries, etc., are
easily fixed or transferred.
Tt will Facilitate business calcula-
tions. A month will mean 20 and
not. 49, 80 or 81 days. Wages by
the week, fortnight and month are
readily adjusted without even refer
ring to the calendar, which is easily
committed to memory.
This calendar could, by general
consent, be adopted Sunday, January
1, 1922, without disturbing in the
least the present calendar

REMEMBER MAINE.

1.-THE way Maine goes the country
goes" is an old political saying.
And it is for that reason that the
eyes Of the country are on the out
come of the Maine election, which
takes place on Sept. II. Republican
managers profess to be extremely op-
timistic regarding the outcome of the
election. Two senator's, a governor
and four members of the house will
be. chosen. The Republicans base
their optimism largely on the fact
that the combined Republican and
Progressive vote in-1912 exceeded
Mr.. Wilson's vote by $4,000 votes,
and the further fact that before the
outbreak of the European war Maine
industries were suffering severely
from the effects of the Underwood
tariff.

AN EXPLANATION.

There have been many inquiries
as to whether Governor Hughes voted
for the woman suffrage amendment
in the New York election last fall.
A dignitary of the supreme court
states that Justice Hughes did not go
home to vote, and says that it is a
traditional practice of the justices
Of the supreme court not to partici-
pate in their state elections, even to
the extent of voting. Only one, JUS
tice Moody, has gone home to vote
within the memory of the present
members of the court. -

PROSPERITY

The financiers are warning the people
not to put unlimited trust in the pros
perity the country is now enjoying. In
the very nature Of things it cannot last
forever. Human impatience and selfish
ness are too much for that But the
blessing of prosperity can be made to
last for long time if it is only intelli-
gently and thoughtfully used. A very
easy thing it is to abuse prosperity. A
man in Chicago is reported to have said
he had so much money he did not know
what to do with it. Many people are
said to have been greatly surprised at
the large wealth they have suddenly
realized. Such facts foretell disaster.
This simply means that these men have
taken vast sums from the public bounty
and put nothing back. Mr.. Forgan, the
noted fnancier Of Chicago, said in an
address last week: 1.-THE country is far
more in danger of going too fast than
going too slow during the coming IL
months. For that reason am not
shouting prosperity, but am convinced
that the old principles of sober, careful
and conservative business are the ones
to be preached to the American people
today" In this warning appears the
good old doctrine of simple living; also
the profouIder idea that all business
has a moral basis, and that he who
strives to make himself rich without
bestowing upon the people a CORES
ponding benefit will hurt himself and
the people, too.

NOT AN EXPERIMENT

Not only has the automobile passed
long since the stage of experiment bu
i its usefulness and general democracy
have been well established, and it is
! now becoming more kindly and mora
and less of a menace to the pedestrian
and the innocent by-stander. This as
sertion is not based upon sentiment,
but upon statistics compiled by the
Bureau of the Census in Washington.
In the course of the five years from
1909 to 1914 the number of motor-ca
in the United States increased more
than twice as rapidly as the fatalities
caused by them. At the close of 1909
there were approximately 100000 mo-
tor-cars in use in this country, and at
the end of 1915 there were $50, 900
Statistics as to the deaths from auto
mobile accidents could be procured by
the census authorities only from the
death registration area that is to say,
in "a states, the District of Columbia
and Al cities in other parts of the coun-
try.
In that area, embracing about 65 per
cent. Of the population, the number of
cars increased IT'S per cent in the five
year period; the automobile fatalities
315 per cent. For the last
year of the five SO per cent increase
in the number of machines was accom-
panied by a IL per cent. increase in ia
talities. In proportion to the number
of'deaths to each 100, 600 of the popu-
lation also the automobile has a con-
stantly improving record when its own
numbers are considered.
