PARIS, Feb. 22.-The peace con
ference is to be called upon to reform
the calendar.
The request is to be filed by the
French Academy of Sciences with
the technical authority of N. Des.
landres, directory of the French Oh.
servatory at Meudon.
If the Academy plan is accepted
enxt year probably will be the year
Time will be reckoned, not from
the birth of Christ, but from the sign
ing of the peace treaty creating the
new world.
Most Of the world now accepts the
Gregorian calendar, but much inter-
national confusion arises from the
fact that Russia and the Balkans use
the Julian calendar, in which the year
differs from the Gregorian year by
about ten days. The peace confer
ence will be asked to make one cal
endar compulsory or official through
out the world.
The French Academy plan pro-
poses year of 13 months, each
month having % days. The 365th
day in ordinary years and 365th and
S66th days in leap years would be
holidays, not included in any rlonth.
Under this plan given day of
the month always would fall on the
same day of the week.
Another scheme proposes a year
composed of four equal quarters,
each quarter composed of one month
Of 81 days and two months of 80
days each.

The news of his arrest and comics
sion came as the most startling kline
of an announcement to his many
friends here. Besides being espe.
cially popular with the officials and
employees of the bank, Mr.. Scott has
scores of close personal friends in
the city. Officials declare they
trusted him implicitly until the SEN
sational revelation was made, and had
never found cause to think him dis
honest.
According to reports of a semi-of-
fetal nature, Mr.. Scott spent a large
part of the $4,000 in this city in the
past few years. Clips" amounting
to from 81 to 500, it is said, were
handed out with lavish hand. A
number of his friends were led to be-
lieve that he had a private income,
variously estimated at from $3.50 to
$500 month. Drivers of taxicabs
say $40 "tips" were frequently dis
pensed and he was always coveted as
a passenger.
He had been employed at the bank
since 1906 and was considered one of
the most efficient bank officials in
Bristol. He was remarkably quick
with figures and thoroughly acquaint-
ed with his department. He was pro-
NOTED to assistant cashier three years
ago. Before that he was in the book
keeping department.

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn. -" For two years
suffered with female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was so weak and tired that | was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia 4. Pinkham s Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and l am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lishmy testimonial and your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me l will be very much pleased. /"
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
Strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine trial, and for special advice
write Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
experience is at your service.

But as a whole when it is summed
up the world will never be any bet
ter until it recognizes God and stops
worshipping the things of this life
that will perish with US. We are
wrapped up in pleasure and money
making and have largely forgotten
God, who says He is jealous God
and asks that we worship him in spir-
it and truth.
Let us watch and pray until His

a lessening in its strong and vital

ticed that very little attention is be-
ing paid to them. We treat them as
we do those who stayed at home. We
ought to do all within our power to
make them feel that they have play
ed great part in this war. We
should welcome them nome. The war
and soldiers are both getting old to
us now, and since we think the war
is over and we are at peace and rest.
The Bible says that when you think
there is peace and safety sudden de-
struction cometh upon you. And
there will come a greater destruction
than this war.
The world is so much divided with
so many denominations that are fight

that God will not or can not allow
us to go on in this way, for this sud-
den destruction will come to fulfill
the Bible.
The war has been a blessing in that
it has been training school to thou
sands physically; it has caused many
to put their money into stamps and
bonds and thus save for them that
which otherwise would have been
spent to no advantage to them. 1t
has brought the North and South to
know and love each other better. The
rich and poor have been brought into
close touch, and they have learned
lessons never dreamed of.

BRISTOL, Feb. pa. Cab.
ell Scott, assistant cashier OF
the First National bank, who is
charged with embezzling $751;
900 from that institution, made
a full confession Saturday and
was turned over to a United
States marshal from Knoxville.
Developments of the case Satur-
day, coming on the heels of sensa-
tional rumors of the past two days,
indicated that Mr.. Scott was guilty
OF taking money from the bank at
intervals for the past eight or ten
years, covering his tracks by clever
manipulation of the books, that not
only escaped detection on the part
of the bank officials, but the exam
liners as we'll. Indications are that
ne has spent practically all of the
money embezzled.
Suspicion was first directed toward
him Thursday afternoon when bank
examiners found several indications
in the books that figures had been
"juggled." Mr.. Scott was assisting
them in going over the books and
was to return that evening to con-
tinue the work, but did not appear.
He stated Saturday that he spent
Thursday night and part of the day
Friday in the woods north of Bristol.
Friday night he went to the home of
Mayor George Warren, gave himself
up and confessed, it is stated. In the
meantime officials at the bank con-
tinued their investigation of books
and papers. 1t became more and
more apparent that the books had
been tempered with.

Scott was brought to GreenevilIe
on the early train Sunday morning
and placed in jail here to await trial
at the next session of the Federal
court, which will convene here on the
second Monday in March.

Race for Governor

Memphis, May 22.-Frank R. Mil
wee of Clarendon, former speaker
of the Arkansas House of Repre-
sentatives and political leader of
Monroe County, yesterday ANNOUNCE
ed his candidacy for the democratic
nomination for governor of the
state. Judge Milwee is in Memphis
on a visit and is participating in
the Centennial celebration. He is
registered at the Peabody hotel.
Judge Milwee is well known in po-
lltical circles throughout Arkansas,
and has been encouraged by friends
in all parts Of the state to make the
announcement which he gave to the
Commercial Appeal last night.
Judge Milwee first came into state
wide prominence as the campaign
manager of G.. w. Donaghey, who
was elected governor several years
ago. He then retired to his home
county, where he attended private
business and took part in county
politics. One of the most significant
facts Of his political career is that
he was elected speaker Of the House
during the first and only term he
ever served in the legislature. No
one time representative before nor
since Judge Milwee's term Of Office,
has ever been elevated to the speak
ership.

late this afternoon and was met by
Sheriff Malone. Martin immediate
ly surrendered, saying he had come
to Clarendon for that purpose, Be-
