MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention of League
of Nations.

One of the first projects to he laid
before the League of Nations, when it
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make it uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Swizer
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say IN
agreement has been reached and n
uniform report is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
ligious feasts. These objections are
said tn he removed. A fixed date Tor
Easter, the adding of thirteenth
MONTH the making of every week be-
gin with Sunday and having exactly
2S days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
Pile favoring the revision say that IL
the league itself cannot act. it can
designate calendar congress to do
so, to sit mt Geneva.
