1.-THE holiday hunter would now have
taken part in all the principal New
Year celebrations Of the world and
could return to the Western hemis-
phere to spend the Christmas with
which he is most familiar at his own
hearth side. In six days less than
a year he would have chalked up
seven New Year and two Christmas
celebrations to his credit.
"The worlds multiplicity of New
Year Days and Christmastides is due
to the fact that our calendar is largely
an arbitrary device. The earth re-
wolves around the sun In 365 .2422 days,
which makes the true year a very odd
measure Of time. And 1t Is almost
as difficult to choose a logical be-
ginning for the year as 1t Is to find
the starting point Of circle. Different
peoples have selected different start
ing points and have also assumed the
year to be Of slightly different lengths.
This has not only resulted In the
years beginning at different times
but has also caused the times of be-
ginning to vary In their relations to
one another from year to year 1t Is
as though a clock had half q dozen or
more hands all moving around the
dial from different starting points
''The most logical starting points for
the year would seem to be summer
and winter solstices and the spring
and autumn equinoxes and all Of
them have been made to mark the
beginnings Of the years In some parts
Of the world. The Gregorian calendar
that is now In use In the United
States and throughout most Of the
Christian world, Is the Julian calendar
slightly modified. When julius Caesar

Of Christmas celebrations for good
measure" according to a bulletin from
the Washington headquarters Of the
National Geographic society.
''Our American might start his pro-
gressive holiday jaunt by going to
some western European country for
the approaching New Year which the
United States too will celebrate. He
could then travel to Greece, Jugo-
Slavia, Rumania, or Bulgaria In time
for Christmas in those countries.
Christmas is also December 25 in the
countries named, according to their
calendars, but corresponds to January
Z In America.
"By remaining a week in the same
country he could also spend New
Year Day, called January l, but cor
responding with the American and
western European January IA. BY
pushing on and making good connec-
tions he might be able to reach Singa-
pore, or by supplementing steamers
with airplanes could reach China IT.

Worried by German Competition.

The announcement that the Ameri-
can Wooden Co. has, through subsid-
larry, taken an option on the output
of Is textile mills in Germany and
Austria for the purpose Of selling the
products to foreign trade hitherto sup
piled by exports from their own mills
in this country, has caused sensation
in the textile industry.
While this is the first known in
stance of an American manufacturing
concern pursuing this policy, business
men and manufacturers who have re-
turned from Europe, say that British,
French and other Eurouean interests,
despairing Of competing with the Ger
mans, are organizing companies to act
as distributing agents of German
goods throughout the world. They de-
fend their action upon the ground that
if they do not thus maintain their for
eign agencies they will lose out alto

They Save Us From Poison.

!. We owe big debt Of gratitude to
the old elm tree, and to the cinnamon
rosebush, and even the big pigweed
that jeers at us from the cornrows.
Everyone learns that. animals live
through breathing in from the air
pure oxygen and breathing out poison
Gus carbon dioxide. But how many
ever stop to- think where the poison
goes after it is breathed out and where
our fresh supply of oxygen comes
from?
Leaves are four-fifths water and al
most all the rest is carbon. They get
the carbon from the air, breathing it
in through multitudes of tiny mouths.
In one square inch of lilac Leaf there
are 100000 mouths. These crifces take
into the leaves from the world the
one million carloads of carbon dioxide
that arc passed daily into the atmos-
phere. The leaves break up the carbon
dioxide into it's original clements, car
bon and oxygen. They retain the car
bon and give us back pure oxygen in
return. Thus they maintain natural
equilibrium; we owe our very existence
to the trees and plants.
Without the microscope We should
never have known about the mouths
of the leaves and what IN all i'm
portant part they play in our lives.

New National Guard.

It is pleasing to learn through an
official announcement by the war de-
partment that the national guard has
been recruited up to 10000 officers
and men, which is more than half it's
normal strength. Under the reorga-
nization plan adopted, eighteen ma
tional guard divisions are authorized,
with a total of 215,397 officers and
men. The country is divided into nine
corps areas, with two militia divisions
to the corps. The fact that within
less than three years after the armis-
tice was signed voluntary enlistments
in the national guard number more
than half the organized strength is
a matter for congratulation that au-
ours we'll for filling the ranks in the
comparatively near future.
For some time following the close
of the war the growth of the national
guard was very slow, and naturally
20. The youth of the country had
teen "fed up" on war and had no de-
sire for further military duty. But
AS time wore on the aversion passed
and the militia units began to spring
up with the satisfactory result noted
The federal government and the states
co-operated to stimulate interest in
the guard, for it is we'll recognized
that the militia is not only reliable
force for the preservation of order
within the states, but constitutes the
chief supporting arm of the regular
army in event of an emergency.
During the world war $4,000 men
entered the military service of the
United States through the national
guard. This was about 10 per cent of
the entire American army. The
guardsmen in preparing for service
abroad showed the advantage of their
training in the militia. Consequently
in the reorganization plan provision
is made for all the auxiliary arms of
the service, and in each army corps
with two divisions of the national
guard will be division of regulars.
The purpose Of the war department
eventually is to have the guard so or
gained that it can be ready for field
service in few days or a few weeks
at most
The valuation of a national guard
organization to any state was we'll ex-
emplified recently during the miners
riots in West Virginia. There the
legislature had authorized the reorga-
nization Of the militia, but steps to
this end had been delayed, and as a
consequence when mobs took the law
into their own hands there was no
state force adequate to maintain or
der, and it was necessary to call on
the federal government for troops.
Had the state militia been available,
West Virginia would have had no &C.
casion to invoke aid from the federal
government.
It is such instances as this that i'm
press upon the public the value to any
state of national guard organization.

SCHWILL STILL HELD
IN CHECK MYSTERY
Chicago Man Unable to Clear
Sources of Stolen Orders.

Despite all of the explanations which
Julius Schwil, millionaire malt manu-
facturer of Chicago, has made since his
arrest here a week ago for cashing un-
der an assumed name what have turned
out to be stolen American Express Com
pany money orders, the District At
torney's office was stlll unwilling TO
move for a dismissal of the charge
against him when his case came up yes
terday in the Tombs Court before Mag
istrate Edgar V. rockingham. Despite
the fact that Schwill had planned to
sail for Europe to-day, the matter was
adjourned at the request of Assistant
District Attorney Peter Sabbatino until
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when Il is
possible that Schwill will be asked to
take the witness stand again and sub
NIT to further examination.
The case first came up for a hearing
on Wednesday at which time the Dis
trict Attorneys office was disposed TO
consent to a dismissal. When Magis-
trate rockingham indicated, after hear
ing Schwills explanation. that he did
not approve this course, the District
Attorneys attitude changed. Yesterday
Mr. Sabbatlno stated that Schwill had
submitted to further questioning i'm the

Loss of Health, Friends and
Money Brought Suicide.

Deserted by his friends. broken in

room, 440 High street, that city. He was
66 years old. A fourteen-year-old grand
daughter. Helen Haussling, on going to
his room to call him in the morning.
found his body. A carving knife had
been plunged into the left breast, pene-
trating the heart.
Mr.. Haussllng came into prominence
as a public office holder when, from
1890 to 1898, he was Sheriff of Essex
county. He was first elected Mayor of
Newark I'm 1907 and held four successive
terms. retiring In 1915. His administra-
tlon was noted for the lberality of its
interpretations. especially with regard
TO Sunday selling of liquor. He was
known as an organization Democrat.
Hardly a social event was held In
Newark in the eight years Mr.. Hauss-
ling was Mayor at which he was not
present. But after he left office, ac-
cording to Mrs. Haussling, the thou
sands of friends and acquaintances he
had made gradually deserted him. In
1916 the mineral water business in which
he was engaged went into bankruptcy,
depicting his personal fortune of nearly
$4,000. Less than two years later his
health also failed.
These three causes, Mrs. Haussling
said, brought on a melancholia that was
markedly noticeable In the last few
months, the only bright day recently

Two men participated in the down.
town holdup. They walked into the
office of Katzkoff & Co. manufacturing
jewellers, on the ninth floor of 206
Broadway, at about II 80 2. NJ. Jo-
seph Maiorana. a partner in the firm,
was alone in the place at the time. The
robbers pulled guns as they entered,
the jeweller said, and demanded that
he elevate his hands. One stood guard
over him. he told detectives. while the
second went to the safe and various
jewelry cases. selecting pieces of jew
elry, which he threw into a satchel.
One Of the robbers hit Mr.. Maiorana on
the head with the butt of his pistol as
they were about to leave.
The jeweller slipped into a chair part
ly unconscious. He still was sitting in
this chair when Mrs. Hilda Kohn, who
lives in Brooklyn, called for a piece of
jewelry she had left to be repaired. The
woman asked the jeweller what had
happened when she saw him sitting in
the chair with his head I'm his hands and
blood trickling from a cut on the fore
head. He told her of the holdup, and
she ran out into the hallway and noti-
fled the elevator man. who called a
policeman from the street. Mr.. Maio-
rama could supply only meagre descrip
tions of the robbers. They stole jewelry
valued at 100000. which the jeweller
said is fully covered by insurance.
The murder of Modesto Anendolagina,

body of the watchman in a dressing
room on the first floor of the building
on the Bowery side. The watchman's
head lay on his pistol. A physician
said he had been dead seven hours.
DR.. Charles Norris, chief medical ex-

head, left breast and abdomen. All Of
the shots had been fired as close range.
