Scientists Discuss Bill Making
 28 Days in Each

Washington, Feb, I. - A national and scientific men to discuss the ques- ton Of calendar reform with view to endorsement of bill now pG~ding in congress 10 substitute for the pres ent time calendar one divid.ag the year into thirteen months of 2S days each, convened here today at the na- tional museum auditorium under the auspices Of inc liberty calendar asso- citation Of America The liberty cal ondar" bill ns introduced In the house hy Representatives Schall Of Minnesota, with the endorsement Of the association would put the new time schedule into effect In 1928 10 give the ''other nations an opportunity to follow"
 The bill is advocated by the asso- c'ation as affording a standard time schedule for every year which would definitely tiy for all time the dates Of every day of the week by the uniform 2s day month division and thus dis pense with the need of yearly cnlen- dars and end the inconvenience of having 10 refer 10 these 10 establish the coincidence Of days and dates" On S6b day years the odd day re- maining would be disposed of as New Year Day" the first Of the year to be given no other designation and retained as a legal holiday. In 'leap year. the additional one day lap would be disposed of by creating Heap year day between the months of June and July. as legal holiday. The extra month of the calendar would be called "vern" to include the 'vernal equinox" and begin spring.
 The proposed calendar would begin the week with Monday instead of Sunday. Thus 1928 is selected for in- stalling it. advocates explained, be- cause the next day after the first is T Monday. The same dates for every month then would be fixed for each day of the week until the end of| time. An estimated saving of $25, 1 100000 a year now expended on cal | sndars is one argument of the asso- ,iation in support of the proposal.

ODD LEGION BEHIND
MANS FIRST RING
[From the Detroit News1

There is legend for most things
a story kept going by repetition.
There is one concerning the Greek
tale of the way men came to wear
jeweled rings. These ornaments
commemorate an important advance
in the climb up from savagery since
they mark the bringing of fire to the
earth or rather the punishment Of
Prometheus is commemorated.
Prometheus stole the sacred fire
and brought it down to earth so thai
savage man could have fish fried in
stead of raw, and have something
to see by at night. This fire steal
ing was terrible crime in heaven.
so for his audacity he was sentenced
to spend 10000 years chained to q
rock.
He started to serve the sentence,
but in a few weeks Jupiter was in
better temper and wanted to par.
don him. Somebody with a legal
mind figured it out that Prometheus
could wear link of his chain on
his finger and a piece Of the rock
could be fastened to it. So he came
TO wear the first set ring. To keep
him from feeling peculiarly orna-
mented others started to wear rings.
