World war, the Russians, Siberians,
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 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 Inter
national fixed calendar"
The defects In the Gregorian 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, F. G. S., r. S. A, F. @. A., sec
retary 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 80 days.
Our months vary from 2S to 81 days
ii per cent difference-yet the
same monthly salaries. rents. etc.,
must be inequitably 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 dlsparities which are misleading
In business, as evidenced when COM
pairing monthly output Of full working
days from Monday to Friday, plus a
half day on Saturday. On this basis
March, 1922, has IA per cent more
earning time than February, which Is
only one-thirteenth Of the year.
The changing weekday names bring
Christmas, New Years, and other hol-
idays on Sunday and into weeks which
they split, depriving toiling millions In
all countries of the more-prized holi-
day extensions combined with week
ends.
The shifting range of weeks through
the months burdens business and So
cial life with many tiresome refer
ences, limitations, and troubles. A few
examples here may suffice:
We are constantly forced to consult
the calendar to trace how many weeks
intervene between any given dates,
and to ascertain the weekday names
throughout the months. Periodical

He didn't like

ready-rubbed tobacco
And probably he preferred
horsecars to the trolley

He admitted frankly that his tastes
were peculiar. He didn't know why. 1t
was just matter of fact that while he
was an inveterate pipe smoker, he
never smoked Edgeworth.
"But don't let that worry you. I
don't like white bread. And there are
many other things that nearly every
body know ikes-and don't"
We have always recognized that no
one tobacco would just hit the taste
of every pipe-smoker We have always
known, too, that we couldn't make all
the pipe tobacco in the world even il
itwere possible to make tobacco that
everybody liked.
So we have been content to jog
along, seeking and finding men who
do like Edgeworth, who find its indi-
vidualfragrance exactly suited to their
taste.
Those are the men we want to smoke
Edgeworth. If we can give them the
full Joy of smoking and keep our fac
tories running somewhere near capac-
ity, it is about all we expect-and it is
enough.
One thing we do want to be sure OF.
1t is this: That every pipe-smoker try

for himself whether or not it is the
right tobacco for
