trary, insisted that open plum bling"

an operation right there on a case

which proved to be appendicitis.
In rebuttal, DR.. cambridge asserted
that operation for intestinal trou-

the spring equinox. and its first
month. March, had the distinction
as Mommsen points out, Of being
the only one named for a Cod
Mars The names Of the immedi-
ately succeeding months were very
significant: ApTihs, from word
signifying TO open or sprout;
Maius. from a word meaning to
grow. and Junius. from a word ex-
pressing the idea OF thriving.
The appropriateness Of the
thought underlying all this seems
so evident that one is surprised that
all civilized peoples. in all ages. have
not begun the year at the spring
equinox. One would at least have
expected il from those among whom
agriculture was largely developed.
But in ancient Athens and Attica
they began the year at the summer
solstice. and in Sparta and Asia
Minor at the autumnal equinox.

the northern hemisphere,
In northern Greece. in BoeOtia
and al Delphi the year began at the

The Romans themselves later aban-
doued their own original system,
and their official year was set 10 be-

solstice. And the world in general
has followed the Romans. Good fell
