Columbus has his supporters. too.
who think the day this country was
discovered is OF sufficient Importance
to be celebrated more widely than 1t
is. Various groups are urging congress
TO make Armistice Day Il permanent
holiday.
Bills for new holidays are presented
to congress every year. but this year
there seems TO be more interest In
them than usual.
Arrnistice Day stands the best
chance of being put on the calendar as
"A permanent holiday now. Sentiment
In favor OF it is strong. and the time
is opportune. But lengthening the list
of holidays is a serious step. and now.
especially. there 10 a tendency to stop
to consider Nhether we have enough
HOLIDAYS already, whether they are an
economic asset or liability. and what
holidays cost anyway.
A large number of feast days Ia re-
garded by some authorities as a sign
OF economic degoneracy. The cvi-
dence seems 10 ne mat we nave not
too many holidays now. As the differ
ent states decide for themselves the
holidays they will celebrate. the num-
ber varies from seven to "A dozen or
more. The average which Is about ten
compares favorably with tho holiday
lists OF other countries. Scotland, IL Is
true. gets along with only Ave nation
al holidays. but Australia has six

only nineteen national holidays. IL is
estimated that all OF It's 80 local holl-

Back in ancient times, Roman his

OF holiday excess. out OF 3f5 days In

MONDAY BEST HOLIDAY
Monday. like Saturday. is desirable
as a holiday. Here. again. the week is
not broken up by two separate rest
ing spells Monday is the best day in
the week for a holiday, from the work
er's point of view. because II gives him
two days together.
Besides this, II has been found that
when holiday falls in the middle OF
tho week, factories often shut down
for the half OF the week following the
celebration. Occasionally, tho whole
week is given to the workers-with-
out pay.
So far as the people who work are
concerned II would be further desir-
able to have our holidays scattered

brations.

What holidays cost is shown IN a
