When YOU are asked for the truth

light or do you treat the matter as
a joke and tell "A few facts only.

tells the rest aloud.
II might be well for some Ameri-

country's father. George Washing

we learned in our youth.

Caesars calendar because of a slight
excess Of the length that he had cal
culated for the, true year over the

Caesars and YOU have for remainder

the centuries at the rate of about
three days in 100 years had by the
year 1882 caused the vernal equinox
to fall back, on the calendar. TO
March Il. This was not yet very
incOnvenient for agriculture. but it
was inconvenient for the calcula-
ton of the date Of Easter. and so
Pope Gregory XIII readjusted Cae-
sars calendar by dropping out 10
days. In Protestant countries like
England the GregOrian reform was
not adopted until 1852. by which
time il had become necessary to
drop II days rom the calendar. The
readjustment was perpetuated by
simply changing Caesars rule for
leap year so that instead of adding
a day. every four years the addition
should be omitted i'm every century
years not divisible by 400 Thus
1900 was not a leap year, and 200
will not be one.
By this simple device the reformed
Julian year, or Gregorian year. il
was brought SO near the real year
in length that it is only 20 second too
long.
Now imagine putting $50 days in

endar ahead of the equinox more
