during 1918 In other words,
there will be only 81 days in this COM
ing year that are not Sundays or spe-

commercial regions of the earth.
The growth Of International finance
has made the worlds aggregate OF
closed days serious fac'Or and an
expensive one. Not until now, how
ever has any attempt been made to
compile an exhaustive list Of holidays

have been published in n booklet that

business.
Contrary to the popular notion, the

countries numerous local holidays or

The study OF holidays Is fascinating

EXPERIMENT AS A LUXURY
(From the Detroit Free Press)

(From the Detroit Free Press)
 Those German gentlemen" who are en- toying interment in our prison camps be- cause they have committed heinous and in some instances detestable offenses against the United States and its people seem gen orally to be having good time of it, far better time than most of the faithful cit izens of the republic. are having. For in stance, 1t Is reported that in two cases de- tained teutons have organized orchestras and are drilling" their men regularly. Dr.. Muck, former conductor of the Boston orchestra, leads one, and 1t is whispered that Dr. Kunwald, formerly head of the Cincinnati orchestra, has charge of the other.
 Rumor has not informed this part of the world concerning the ofGenses of which Kunwald was guilty before his internment but if half the things reported of Muck are true that personages places in front of a firing squad rather than in front of band composed of fellow prisoners The mildest story IS that he sent code messages to the kaiser, and some of the other accusations presuppose depravtiy which would bar him from association with any decent per son.
 But Muck is pampered and coddled while our boys are dying for the cause he tried to betray under cover of the hospitality of the nation. And unless reports are exceed ingly unreliable, there are other cases sim liar to his.
 Possibly technicalities prevent the hand ing out of exact justice to these interned scoundrels, but when citizens are being re- quired to take up useful occupations, it is at least high time that traitorous teutons be put at good, hard, productive work for the benefit of the nation, instead of being kept in idleness and ease, with plenty of time to indulge in the arts.
