people know Of the manner in which
the mDmenttus date is set? Do you
realize that the new year is really
a hours old before the great bulk Of the
civilized world is able to celebrate it's
arrival?
Priority In rejoicing over the event
Is actually given to the untutored in
habitants OF the islands of the South
Pacific. The first Of the civilized world
to greet 1921 was the people Of the far
away New Zealand. Sweeping west
ward, the change Of date crossed Asia
and then the old world of Europe and
Africa before starting over the Allan
tic TO. America. Onward it sped at the
rate Of thousand miles an hour until
the first day of the new year died away
u. in the middle of the Pacific.
z In the United States the idea of an
nouncing broadcast over the land the
birth of thessne year originated with
the officerstln charge Of the naval OBJ
lscrvatory in washington. About 10
years ago it was suggested that the
telegraph companies dispatch at mid
night from Washington series of sig
mails proclalming the exact moment of
the new years beginning The idea
wss taken up and signals were sent
out at midnight and at one, two and
three o'clock In the morning follow
ing in order that each great time d.
vision of the United States should re-
,ceive its own appropriate midnight
y signals from the capital. .~-..s-. -.
1 The practice has now become fixed.
The signals used are akin to those sent
out seach midday. These begin five.
minutes before the midnight hour by
way of warning, and cover each second

A NEW YEAR is NEAR.

Its corning boys.
It's almost here;
It's coming, girls.
The grand New Year!
A year to be glad in,
Not to- be, bad in;
A year to live in,
TO gain and give in;
A year for trying,
And not for signing:
"A year for striving,
And hearty thriving;
A bright New Year,
Oh! hold it, dear;
For God, Who sendeth,
He only lendeth."
