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

One of the first projects to be 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-
mnd 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 an
agreement has been reached ana II
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 to be removed. 4 fixed date for
Easter, the adding of thirteenth
month the making Of every week be-
Iin with sunday and having exactly
2S days in each month-thcsc are the
main features agreed on Church peo-
pie favoring the revision say that If
the league itself cannot act. fl can
designate a calendar congress TO do
so, to sit at Geneva

NEED MORE GOOD HIGHWAYS
One Of Benefits Of War Is Sure to Be
Increase in Thoroughly Inn
proved Roads.

one Of the benefits Of the war is
sure to be more good roads in this
country and in other parts of the
world where highways have not been
generally and thoroughly improved.
We used to say better roads" but
now there is a large mileage so good
that If the rest were brought UP to the
best American level, nothing more
could reasonably be asked. Many
roads i'm America are quite worthy of
comparison with any i'm Europe. All
we need is more of them. and then
still more until the country is grid
ironed and netted with such highways.

HOW DRAGS MAINTAIN ROADS
Simple and inexpensive Device Well
Adapted for Producing Smooth
and Uniform Surface.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The drag is a simple and inexpen-
sive device for maintaining certain
types of reads which when wet become
rutted under traffic and which become
firm on drying out. 1t is also well
adapted for producing a smooth and
uniform surface on newly constructed
roads in which the material used for
surfacing is earth, earthly gravel or
some similar material. 1t Is essential
ly maintenance implement and its
use In construction is distinctly sec
ondary. Roads which are very rocky
or very sandy cannot be materially i'm
proved by its use
Properly used at the right time the
road drag performs four distinct of
fees. First, by moving at an angle to
the travelled way 1t tends to produce or
preserve a crowned cross section. Sec
ond If used when the material of the
surface is not compact and hard, IL
tends to reduce ruts and other irregU-
larities in the road by moving material
from points which are relatively high

Third when used after rain it ac-

dragging smears over and partially
seals the sO-called pores which nat
urally occur in earthly material, and
thus makes the road surface more or
less impervious to water. The advan-
tage Of this smearing action Of the
drag will be more readily understood

amined under a magnifying glass. Such
an examination will show that the
earth closely resembles a sponge or
honeycomb in structure, and the de-
STABILITY of closing the open pores
will be readily apparent.
If used improperly or at the wrong
time, the drag may do actual injury to
road. Dragging a very dry road, for
example, serves to increase the guam
tity of dust and may do additional

Drama a
TOO Many Husbands" by
Vaughan, Is Seen at the
Booth Theatre
By F4eywood Broun

Somerset Maugham's new farce.
Too Many Husbands,' is smart, thin,
and beautifully played. We do not use
"thin' entirely as reproach. but
rather as an adjective 70 indicate the
difference between the new play and
the type of farce to which we are ac-
customed.
MIR. Vaughan begins with situation
which would delight any American
farce writer and then proceeds TO de-
velop 1t in manner which would
shock most OF our local practitioners.
HIS interest lies almost wholly III dia-
logue. He fails, or better, studiously
refralns, from introducing any great
number OF new twists once he has
stated his original complication. AS
we remember, there is only one door
and nobody hides in a bed or under
one. although the bed is by no means
lacking. The one surprise comes in
the first act. After that the playwright
busies himself in surrounding his orig
mai situation and attacking it again
end again from various angles.
But If the playwright is not over
fertile in plot complications, he is
singularly inventive in dialogue His
is no. the play with the punch, but
piece with a lightning fast left jab
He can hit a whimsy on the nose
eight times while the average farce
writer is fddling for an opening. Of
course, he does not hit very hard, and
II may be that audiences are too fond
~ dramatic slugNing to appreciate this
rather more scientific display. For
ogr own part we confess that the
-cond act drags little and that
during it there were times when we
might have welcomed something more
boisterous, but on the whole we found
TOO Many Husbands" divertng enter
tainment. Decidedly it is not the sort
Of thing one would expect from. the
author of "The Moon and Sixpence'
and "Of Human Bondage" Mr.
Vaughan seems TO- be always in ear
nest when he writes book and never
so when he writes q play. A satiric
intent Is the only common factor be-
tween his books and his plays.
TOO Many Husbands concerns q
young woman who married D. S. o.
major who was reported dead by the
War Office, whereupon she shortly mar
ried his best friend, also major and
a d. S. Q. The play begins a little
after the end of the war and vcry
shortly after the beginning Of the first
act the first husband appears. 1t is
! rather difficult to make him understand
/ the situation, particularly rs neitheI
he nor the other major Is very acute
intellectually. But the explanation
comes early in the second act, and after
