United States Has No Set Holidays.
There is no national holiday, not
even the Fourth of July. Congress
has at,various times appointed special
holidays. In the second session Of
the Fifty-third congress it passed an
act making Libor day public holi-
day in the District Of Columbia and it
has recognized the existence Of GER
tain days as holidays for commercial
purposes, but with the exception
named there is no general statute on
the subject.
The proclamation Of the president
designating day Of thanksgiving
only makes it a legal holiday in the
District of Columbia and the terri
tories. Each state provides for its
own holidays.
