tirely feasible and can be constructed
at any time. In fact, several Euro
pean inventors and manufacturers are
patenting designs of the second type,
notably the Frenchman Bleriot, one OF
the pioneers of aviation.
Experts for the government studied
the second type during the war, it was
furthCr.
construc ton, DR.. Zahm said were,
first, the great cost; second, the in
creased weight of the machines as
compared with present engine cfIici-
ency; and, third, the need of develop
ing motors with greater power and
less weight per horsepower and with
a greater amount of dependability. AS
it is, he said, a successful helicopter
may be flown to any height, but the
operators will never know when the
engine will give a cough and die away.
The German experimenters, how
ever, he added, have in part overbal-
anced this disadvantage. 1t has been
determined by experiment that pro-
pellor of three or four narrow blades,
caused to revolve by the air pres
sure resulting from a forced descent
with dead engine, will develop as
much parachute resistance as solid
disc of the diameter of the blade
chine is equipped with air cushions
on the landing bottom so that the
landing, if forced, may be made COM
paratively easy.
Means Of steering experimental
Eelicopters, and of which one would
undoubtedly be used in a successful
machine, are two. The first is means
of fitting the propellors shaft or the
whole machine, when it will travel in
that direction; the second being the
use of vanes similar to those already
described. With the latter, DR.. Zahm
thinks, helicopter sufficiently pow
cred, should be as able to cut capers
in the air as aviators do at present
Any of the types advanced, would
in warfare, be of great use in bomb
dropping or for observation. The main
disadvantage, that of being gool
target for artillery fire while station
cry, could be offset by quickncss of
movement from point to point, and
short stops while lowering.
Still, Dr. Zahm points out in sum-
ming up, the fact that the war de-
partmcnt was ocered such machines al

a glance at the chart will show.
There were five Saturdays each in

were calendar-forced to buy a fifth

Conversely, storekeepers In the
months of five Saturdays are encour-
aged by their inflated incomes TO over
buy.
Now Tor the ways OF remedylng the
calendar defects:
We cannot alter the length Of the
days, weeks, or years. but we can
easily amend the months, so that each,
like February In 1914. will contain
% days in 7-day weeks, which exactly
and best quarter the month for bust.

ideal month is the standard proposed
because 1t is not an experiment but
| the easiest and best now used. To ex,
pedlte long counts of days between
any two dates, 1t would be better to
number, instead of to name, the
months; but if names are more de
sirable, the new month "Sor" could be
inserted between June and July as

When these changes are made, 1t
follows that the same day in each
week will always fall on the same
four fixed dates each month, so that
each weekday name will always de-
note Its monthly dates, and vice versa,
as the standard month" would then
apply to all months.
A less essential change is the pro-
posal to abolish moon-wanderlng Eas-
tiers by the international churches fix
ing Easter at the most convenient
date in April.
Referring to the illustrations given
herewith: Stonehenge, the collection
| of great monoliths in England whose
purpose was so long mystery, is now
| known to have been for calendar pur-
poses. Sir Norman Lockyear- has cal
culated that the so-called Sunrise
Stone" was erected about 1880 b. G.
The pyramids were erected by the
ancient Egyptians In order TO meas
ure the shortest noon-shadows. that
the days between might be counted.
The sphinx played Its part In the cal
culations by which the Egyptians
reckoned a year Of 365 days and a
fraction. Thus the pyramids were
built to safeguard the life Of Egypt,
which depended upon utilizing the
Nile valleys advantages by applying
calendar knowledge to agriculture.
The various pyramids were used as
tombs for Pharaohs only after each
one except the one In use had been
superseded by a more perfectly sloped
pyramid.
1.-THE Standard Month and the "Day
Pointer" below 1t practically explain
themselves. "Sol," 1t will.ibe noted, is
twenty-eIght days, four complete
weeks. Every month Is to be like II
and will be licked or by the DAY
Pointer"
The calendars for January and Feb
ruary Of 1922 show unequal months
split the weeks at month-ends mOst
awkwardly, causing many inconveni
ences.
The remaining figure Of monthly
dates show the broken weekly range
in 1922, which includes AZ complete
and 81 broken weeks, including alsC
the odd day. December 81. The latter
by being Sunday, like January 1

Turks. Chinese, Japanese, Egyptians
and other nations have adopted the
Gregorian calendar for governmental,
legal and other natural purposes.
Nevertheless, as everyone knows, the
Gregorian calendar has defects and
every now and then somebody comes
forward with a scheme for changing 1t.
Now 1t is purposed to assemble the
International Government Conference
Of All Nations to make changes which
seem advisable and adopt an "lnter-
national fixed calendar"
The defects In the Gregorlan cal
endar and the changes which seem
advisable, together with other useful
and interesting information are set
forth In an illustrated article In the
Pan American Union with the title,
"The Evolution of Calendars and How
to Improve Them" by Moses B. Cots
worth, r. G. s., F. S, A., F. G. A., sec
rotary treasurer Of the International
Fixed Calendar league. The defects
In our calendar are summarized In the
following outline:
We earn and pay by the month, but
have not an equal monthly measure,
except for prisoners, whose time is
counted In months of 30 days.
Our months vary from % to 81 days
Ill per cent difference-yet the
same monthly salaries. rents. etc.
must be inequltably paid. Monthly
business charges for maintenance, de
probation, ETC., are unfairly appor.
toned, and monthly profits credited
as though each month were produc
lively one-twelfth Of the year.
The confusing changes In weekday
names for the same dates In success
sive months, through the Intrusion Of
New Year and leap days, cause furth
er disparities which are misleading
in business, as evidenced when com
pairing monthly output Of full working
days from Monday to Friday, plus {
half day on Saturday. On this basI.
March, 1922, has IA per cent more
earning time than February, which Il
only one-thirteenth Of the year.

cial life with many tiresome refer
ences, limitations. and troubles. A few
