ARGENTINA NOW
 b|G O|L CENTER
Standard Oil Company Is in Field After Making Big
 Purchase
Ny Associated Press

Buenos Aires. October 14.-The oil possibilities of Argentina have al- ready attracted Standard oil. Anglo Persian. and the Royal-Dutch groups. and now smaller investors are be- ginning to appear in the field. The latest arrivals are the Chileans, and three prospecting corporations have been floated in that country with the object of exploiting lands in the Comodore Rivadavia and Neuquen territories of Argentina.
 Since the Standard oil company of New Jersey purchased the properties laco for $2.o00.o0o Argentine pa- perl. Standard oil of California has taken over extensive prospecting rights on the other side of the Neu- quen field and near the Standard of New Jerseys concessions, which bor- der the River Covunco. A new cor poration, the Andes Petroleum corpo- ration. which will work with Argen- tine capital, has just offered stock to the public and intends, If the flo- tation is a success, to prospect in the Covunco district also.
 The West India oil company is completing a large refinery at the Port of Bahia Blanca, through which practically all the oil produced In Ar gentina must pass on it's way to mar ket. and proposes to construct . similar plant in Uruguay. probably at Montevideo. A number of geolo- gists are at work in the last named republic and 1t Is believed that that country. too, has great possibilities as an oil producer of the future.

RUSSIAN DANGERS
 NOW PLENTIFUL All Kinds of Freak and Eratlc Dancing Seen at Moscow
 Theatres
Bx Associated Press

Moscow, october 14.--The opening of Russia's theatrical season has brought out examples of freak and impressionistic staging and erotlc dancing in several theatres. but nevertheless, the classic Russian ballet. the old style opera, and the drama seem more popular than ever.
 Both the strikingly new impress sionistic presentations and the time he nored pallets, however, draw large crowds, and the opening perform ances in the theatres featuring these respective styles were sold out long before the curtains.
 At the Nobles Club theatre, where Goleysoysky presented impressionis- tic dancing by dozen or more youths and girls from the Kamerny ballet, cubist and spiral structures and ordinary blanks and ladders were used as scenery to represent palaces, mountains. pyramids, etc. The dancers, posturing wierdly to music by Bier, Strauss and Debussy. seern- ed to be cubist drawings come to life.
 When the curtain went up on the first performance of the ballet this year, 1t was evident that the dancers had enjoyed their first year of good feeding since the revolution. All were much bumper, and some cynics in the audience argued that another civil war might help their figures. Madame Geltser, for example, must have put on 20 pounds since last year. but her technique seemed better than ever.
 Along with everything else, prices for theatre tickets have scared in Moscow since the close of last sea- son. Formerly obtainable for the Rus sion equivalent of about 25 cents, parquet seats this year brought about g at the box offices. and from $5 to $15 each from speculators. The audiences. however, seemed to have nc trouble in securing the nec-
 essary millions of rubles, and the
 opening night crowds were mixture of proletarian and bourgeoisie thea tre lovers.

other people have often wished they could do--he dug out 10 days from one month-October of that year and drew them into discard, in order to readjust March q to the equinox and the rest of the calendar to the seasons.
 Since then we have been travelling under the Gregorian calendar. In con sequence, the league complains, Gregory moved the Christian years end (which ever since the establish ment Of the Christian era had been cerebrated as Christmas) from Christmas to January l, one week farther away from natures years end. December 22." Russia and Greece alone did not comply with that edict. and continue as of old.
 Conference Called
 After several national and inter- national conferences during 1922. of those interested in the new move ment, final international confer ence was planned to be held some time during the coming year. It will De held here. at the Presidents call Many representatives of world na- tions will attend to discuss a pro- gram which includes:
 Location of the year day" removal or leap day to be a midsummer's &,~f'NosF AnG DESl TIanREmfnt t0 Tit the present 52 yearly weeks into per- manent months, a name for inc pro- posed month Sol" the best perma- nent date for Easter, the best date on which to begin the "yearaI' or equal month year Tentatively set at 1e2S). ana 10 draft recommendations con- corning the above into legislatfve form for adoption by all nations and remit that standard bill to their re- spective governments to insert their 0ational holidays therein and to- setner make it law for their respec- tive nations"
 Those Interested
 Interested in the movement m. cording to the league, are: Interna- tional chambers of commerce. inter- national conferences of Euronean calendar advocates, the International Astronomic union. International Ro- man Catholic churches (throueh inc vatican). The government of Can oar associations have all unanI- and the international conference of united States and Canadian Calen- oar associations have all unani mously indorsed the International Fixed Calendar Plan" as the best thus far devised to remedy the de- fects in existing calendars.
 Practically, 1t Is said, the revised calendar would aid in agriculture in preventing crop failures by planting at incorrect times because the call endar calls for 1t. It would be of value to labor and capital alike, it Is claimed, and would aid industry gem orally. It would equalize dating sys- tems throughout the world. and fi- nally. the 2s-day month would free about per cent of monthly money now held for 30 and 31 days.

CALENDAR FIRST COMPLICATED BY
 JULIUS CAESAR
League Now Plans Confer ence at Washington With Idea of Establishing
 28-Day Months

Washington, October 14.-Julius Caesar, by his unscientific juggling of the calendar, has caused unneces- sary confusion for centuries, say members of the International Fixed Calendar league, who advocate the adoption of 13-month year with each month containing 2S days, and an international holiday added each year to make up the 365 days of the solar calendar.
 There Is really no reason why the calendar should be so broken up. league members say. In the days oi the ancient Egyptians. who oriEi- hated the calendar, working with tne shadows of pyramids and ooeiisks, the calendar was arranged with Id months of equal length, with five days festival at the end of the year to square things up with the sun The reason for the pyramids and ope- lisks was their use in astronomy and calendar making, it is said.
 In 46 B. C.. Julius Caesar, dissatis- fled with the moon chasing calendar of his day, adopted the Egyptian sys- tem-with notifications. The Ro- mans were superstitious about odd numbers, so Julius started to do with the calendar as he had done with the world, and when he was through the equal length months were all broken up. the five-day fes- tiyal was eliminated, and the months were arranged alternately With oO and 31 days.
 So pleased was the Roman Senate with Caesars work it immediately named the seventh month in his cal endar in his honor. and the system is known as the Julian calendar.
 Julius to Augustus
 That worked for a while until one of Caesars successors, Augustus by name, changed his forebear's work, in B. c. 2s, and when his heavy hand was through, tho calendar re- suited in its present state: the add and even numbered months were changed around and arbitrarily fixed. February was given a little more liberty than the other months and the half years were set on unequal bases, the first half getting only 1s1 days and the second 1s4. The Ro- man Senate retaiiated by changing the name of the eighth month to 
 birth month as July was Julius.
 "Constantine the Great" says a league publication. "conferred the ever welcome Sabbath rest each seventh day on Europeans; but the unequal lengths of 2s and 31-day months imposed by Julius and Augus- tus have since forced the Constantine weeks yearly to slice months into dif- ferent weeks, and at month ends al- most split weeks into parts, inces- sanity but neediessly confusing weeks and months"
 In 1852 another change was made. when Pope Gregory XIII found Julius had been wrong in his arithmetic and made an error in computing leap years. and that as result 10 extra days had piled up from somewhere In the meanwhile. The sun and the earth. according to that time table were not travelling on the same schedule. So Gregory did what many

ATOMS MAY SOON
 DO MANS WORK
An Uncontrolled Atom Would Blow All to SmithereenS,
 Says Scientist

London, October 14.-By the lib- eration of the atom man may some day have under his control force which will perform for him the entire work of the world, but if 1t gets beyond his control 1t may blow the earth and all IS inhabitants to shit hereens, Dr. Aston. of Cambridge, said in lecture delivered recently before the members of the British association. But the chances of such castastrophe are practically negli- gible. he explained.
 Dr. Aston opened his address with description of the infinited mi- nuteness of the atom. If tiny hole were made in the side of an evacuated electric light bulb" he could pass in nt a rate of i,00o,00o & second, 1t would take 100, ,00O.0 900 years before the bulb was full. and tnere are two atoms in each molecule of air"
 pr. Aston told how Professor Ruth erford had discovered that all atoms were simply different combinations of electricity. The positive particles were cemented together by the nega- tive particles. Tables. houses, chairs. motor cars-ln fact all animate and inanimate substances, including man himself-were composed simply of electricity.
 What we know as lump of coal" the speaker declared. lis simply an incomprehensibly large number or electrical particles clustering to- gether. If these particles could be liberated and controlled they would provide vastly more power than would be needed to run all the ma chinery that man ever could devise.
 Possibilities Great
 "Professor Rutherford" said pr. Aston, succeeded in arranging col lision between central portions ot two atoms. The result was the transmutation of the atoms into en- t.rely different forms of matter.
 "The possibility of such transmit ation on any scale is of enoromous importance If the amount of hydro- gen which goes to constitute a table spoonful of water were transmitted into helium. the energy liberated would be 200,000 kilowat hours. one seventh of the total amount of cleo ti iicity used in London in day Tor lighting and power purposes.
 "The possibility has been discuss ed" said Dr. Aston. that this energy, when first liberated, would be out or human control. In that case, If al the hydrogen on earth were detonated into space, the successful experiment would be published throughout the entire universe as the birth of a new star. The probability of this cata- strophe," added Dr. Aston. lis prac- tically negligible"

RUSSIAN BURBANK
 GUARDS GARDEN
 WITH HIS RIFLE
Aged HorticuIturlst Has De- veIoped Many Wonders by Crossing Various
 Plants
By Assoc1ated Press

KozIoff. Tamboff Government, Russia. October 14.-Luther Bur banks Russian rival, Ivan A. Mit- shourin, septuagenarian who works daily in his experimental gar den near here despite his advanced years, is still turning out hybrid wonders in fruits, melons, nuts and vegetables
 Professor Mitshourin is well known in American horticultural societies, and many orchards in the United States are planted with the Mitshou- rin cherry. His garden now is fuit of trees. bushes and plants in vari- ous stages of experimental develop ment. One of his latest achieve ments is new melon. a cross be- tween a water melon and cantel- oupe, which Is oval in form and with a dark green striped rind, much harder than either of its parents.
 The experimental field is full of trees bearing plums as large AR duck eggs, black entrants the size of grapes, and an extraordinary all mond said to have been produced by crossing bitter almonds with some wild nut.
 Some of the most extraordinary trees pedr thfee hiius VA Al ples crossed with pears; apples cross ed with crab apples, and apples crossed with both crab apples and pears, each species of fruit growing from one grafted branch properly pollenized.
 Mitshourin is very modest. When asked whether he wanted any as- sistance from the government, he an- swe-ed: Nothing but the permis- sion to keep a rifle to guard my gar den''

LONDON TO HAVE
 BIG, TALL, MODERN
 OFFICE BUILDING
By Associated Press

London, October 12.-A liberal car toonist today depicts Premier Lloyd George making a flight from Man chester in a new engineless glider, the discarded engine being the con- servative party. This broadly repre- sents the political situation, for al though Austin Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Balfour, and other conservative ministers, are still supporting the coalition, the bulk of the conservative party is believed to be opposed to the continuance ot Lloyd George in the leadership and anxious to get back to the party sys- tenn.
 An indication of the uncertainty of the position is seen in the sugges- tion made today that Lloyd George will wait for the Chamberlain speech tomorrow before finally drafting his Manchester speech, because Mir. Cham beriains speech will prove how far he may count on the firm support of the conservatives.
 The present belief is that both min isters will devote themselves chiefly to a defense of the governments Near Eeastern policy, and there are rumors that the premier may reveal some new facts.
 Excitement Continues
 Excitement in political quarters continues at fever heat, the only uni versally admitted fact of the situ- ation being that Lloyd George has rfo intention of resigning.
 Though an early general election is expected, 1t is believed 1t is more likely to take place in the spring than in the present year, as there are weighty technical difficulties in the way of election in November or De- cember.
 The first is the necessity if ratifi- cation of the Irish constitution by the Westminster Parliament, which re-assembles November 1. The Irish treaty automatically lapses December 12, and it is considered almost incon- ceivable that the premier would re- sign or dissolve Parliament until the Irish constitutiin is ratified. The re- volt of the conservatives against Lloyd George is largely based on his Irish policy. ''the die hards" never having forgiven what they denounce as his surrender to the Irish rebels.
