AERONAUTlCAL STATION
TO REMAIN. DENBY SAYS

Secretary Of the Navy Edwin Den
by today sent a letter to the Chamber
of Commerce stating that the Navy
Department did not contemplate the
removal of the aeronautical test sta
ton from the Washington Navy Yard
to Philadelphia.
A committee from the chamber.
composed OF Charles w. Darr. chair
man; Robert N. Harper. and James
T. Lloyd, recently appeared before
Secretary DENLY and stated they had
been informed that removal of the
test station was proposed.
The committee contended that since
the bureau offices are in Washington
and most Of the officers interested
reside here. 1t would be impractical to
remove It.
The test station originally en-
ployed fix or six men. Today there
Is staff of about seventy-five, the
majority of whom own their own
homes in this city.

Prior to the municipal election

1t was one Of the few occasions
In the history Of the nation that an
all-woman ticket had been put UP
for a municipality. Women were
out for all offices from mayor down,
and there were visions of a town in

The extra month which the "Yearal
Calendar" gains is inserted between
June, and July and will be known as
SOL" for the reason that heretofore
the sun has been overlooked in the
nomenclature OF the year. While
thirteen months of twenty-eight
days each total only 1854 days, and
year. scientifically speaking, totals
1854 days, provision is made for
the extra day by inserting 1t between
the last day of the old year and the
first day Of the new. This day has
no day name and is designated sim
ply as New Years day" 1t will be
indicated on the model calendar by a
star and, of course, would be a gen.
eral worldwide holiday, recognized
as such by all nations.
In the same way every fourth year
an extra day will be inserted at mid
summer, which will be simply known
as Leap Day" This, it is contend
ed, will make for greater balance
and a more scientific partition of the
year. 1t also will be an extra world
wide holiday without a day name,
because it would be the only way In
which a dislocation of the perfect
calendar could be avoided. Mr.. Cots
worth has repeatedly pointed out the
fact that two-thirds of the human
race use a thirteenth month at the
present time, although the number
of calendars in use is very great.
The principal ones in use are the
Gregorian (our OWN, serving 453

the proposal.
The "Yearal Calendar" which was
indorsed by the Canadian govern
ment in 1919, was under considera-
ton by the British government in
1914, but the outbreak of the war
made the international conference,
which was to have been held that
year, impossible. The original plan
was to have had the calendar In
general use by 1917.
Instead Of ending on the day we
now. designate as December 81, the
"Yearar" will close as December %
the day after the shortest day Of
the year, and the natural end of the
year. With thirteen months in the
year every week will begin with a
Sunday and every month end with a
Saturday. Every Saturday will be a
seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first or
twenty-eighth, while every Sunday
will be first, eighth, fifteenth or
twenty-second, and so one with the
other days continually.
Holidays will always fall on the
same definite dates. For instance,
Christmas and New Years will al

will cease to be movable feast sub

SMALL INVESTOR

It cannot be stated with too much
emphasis that anyone who really
wants a safe investment with good
interest return can secure the same
without the slightest difficulty. On
December fifteenth last the wife of
the President Of the United States
purchased from Mr.. Mellon, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, the first Treas
ury Saving Certificate sold by the
United States Government. These
are now on sale at all post offices
and many banks and can be had by
mail direct from the Treasury Depart
ment. They pay rs per cent on the
money invested for five year period.
They are guaranteed by the Govern
ment to pay this figure, and guaran-
teed against any decline in price.
They are beyond question The safest
and surest investment available to
any American citizen, and II they are
not good. then nothing in the world
is.

cheap platitudes about the necessity
and advantages of thrift and savings,

rHIRTEEN-moNTH
YEAR 10 NOW URGED

According to DIR. Moses B. Cots
worth, +. @. s., of Vancouver, b. c.,
the proposed new thirteen-month cal
endar, Of which he is the father, will
bring this old world more luck and
saner happiness than It has ever had
under the twelve-month system. He
does not believe, you see, in the "13"
superstition. He believes, instead,
says p. e. McGillicuddy in Leslie's
Weekly, that since there are thirteen
lunar months In every year, whether
we like II or not, It would greatly
simplify matters IL there we're their
teen calendar months also, AMI a
great many persons Of Importance
agree with him.
For years DR.. Cotsworth has been
looked upon as one or the worlds
greatest scientific statisticians. While
resident In England, prior to coming
to Canada, Mr.. Cotsworth was one of
the ardent spirits in the Information
al Almanac Reform League, and for
some twenty-seven years he has been
busy at work perfecting his "Yearal
Calendar" which is designed to do
away with the present confusing sys-
tenn of dividing the year into twelve
months of unequal lengths.
The new calendar, which has been
under consideration for some time, is
expected to receive the endorsement
of the International Conference of
Astronomers which meets in Rome
in this month, following an impor-
tant conference of the Roman Cath
Ollie church dignitaries, which is al
so expected to approve the change.
Other scientific societies have al
ready given unqualified approval to

out tools and he cannot save without
secure place to put his money. A
splendid work is done by the saving
banks, but they do not cover the en-
tire country by any means. There
are millions of people whom they do
not reach. Life insurance covers an
even wider field, but is only practi-
cally saving and investment propo-
sition. The Government is the only
agency that can appeal to everybody,
and at least, after much experiment
ting during and following the war,
it has devised a permanent form of
small investment which is simple,
convenient and which meets the
needs of all except the wealthiest
classes.
People were asked to buy Liberty
Bonds during the war on patriotic
grounds. Although the bonds have
not recovered in value they declined
severely for time and many people
lost heavily. Though the Govern
ment is selling Treasury Saving Ger
tificates partly because it still needs
money, another reason is to give peo-
pie something in the way of an in
vestment that cannot decline in price
to make up for the losses sustained
during the war.
Many peouple are not in position
to study or analyze investments.
Many people have no time for such
study. There is the country doctor
who works day and night and does
not have time even to keep up with
the most important developments in
his own science. Most town and city
doctors are little if any better off.
Quite often their incomes are rela-
lively large, and too often they fall
victims to the get-rich-quick lure.
But the doctor can put his money in
to the Treasury Saving Certificate
without any worry for the future.
These certificates are always sold
at the same price $40. $50 and $500.
In five years they are paid off at $25,
$500 and $1,000 respectively. This is
IL per cent interest compounded or
per cent simple interest. 1t is 20
per cent in five years. There is no
state or local tax on these certificates
and no normal Federal income tax.
Any individual can buy as much as
$4,000 each year, and the same a.
mount is available to any member OF
his family. They can be redeemed at
any time before the five years is up.
Since the name of the owner is reg
istered at Washington the loss of the
certificate does not mean the loss of
the investment. There is no risk, de-
probation in value or promoters or
brokers' commission to pay, there is
liberal interest and immediate cash
withdrawal value.

A NEW BILL OF RIGHTS.
The agreement entered into bv which

. lhe agreement entered into by which interna-
tional organizations OF brick layers and other work.
men engaged in the building trades consent to a de-
cree enJoinlng certain practices of the several unions
which have been under investigation by the federal
government is described by the attorney general as
a NEW bAl OF rights for the home builder, the rent
payer, the manufacturer and the business man who
has to build"
The principles which are embodied in the de-
cree provide that no limit shah be placed on the
productive capacity Of the workman: that there is
TO be no interference with the right Of the employer
to purchase materials wherever and whenever he
pleases, regardless Of whether the materials are the
product OF union labor or not; that there shall be
no discrimination by the unions toward EMPLOYERS
OF trade associations or against persons who NAV
met De members OF such associations; and that the
!abor organizations are not to permit themselves to
be used tor the collection of debts or the enforce
ment of claims.
This agreement is-the result OF the federal in
vestlgatlon OF. building trade scandals in New York
CITY, IN the course Of which there was the
existence OF a conspiracy extending into many cities
and to remote Parts of the country, for the. purpose
OF eNtortlng money from the public through extrav-
agant wages, extortionate prices for materials, m
efficient labor and raseally construction. The OBJ
era!lons 81 TINS gigantic conspiracy were character
lied by blackmail, intimidation, sabotage, and al
most every imaginable foW, of graft and corrup-
ton. Some OF the ring1eadefs of the conspiracy op-
Grated as labor leaders, some as contractors. some
as Purveyors OF material, and in New York city,
where the disreputable work was most thoroughly
organized, legitimate operators in the building
trades were terrorized into acquiescence by the
knowledge that resistance to the demands of the
combination would mean their loss of contracts, in
reference with their work, inability to buy ma
terials, and, in all probability, bankruptcy. -.
Some of the prime movers in this conspiracy
were prosecuted and are now serving richly. merited
prison terms. Others are yet to be tried for the
grosser forms Of '%extortion which they have prac--
ticed. it is a deplorable thing that such a state of
affairs could exist, and that a court order was neces-
Sary to protect honest builders, honest workrnen and
honest owners of structures built or to be erected
in the exercise of rights which are as sacred as is
tbs. right to live and breathe. And it is gratifying
to know that public resentment against the scandal.
Gus practices from which the public has suffered has
made itself felt in such a way as to bring about even
a belated agreement that the practices complained

FATHER AND son

The annual Father and Son banquet has -.
come an established institution in Gland Forks.
The gathering is to be held this year on Tuesday
evening, in accordance with numerous announce
ments to that effect. 1t is expected that the at
tendance will be larger this time than On any sini'ar
occasion IN the past, a gratifying evidence Of the
growing recognition among Our people Of the, i'm
portanee OF developing, in a wholesome way, one
OF the most sacred relationships of life.
Youth and age possess different qualities and
have separate interests, The child has not the ma
turlty OF body or of'thoughtw which fits him for the
activities OF maturity, and the man has acquired in
terees\Whlch must largely exclude the things Of
ch'ldhood from his personal expeEpnee. Yet in the
transition from childhood to youth, and from, youth
to manhood, there is a continuity which, cannot be
broken without injury both to the individual him
self and to the younger persons for whose training
ana development he is responsible.
That boy is unfortunate whose father has not
a sympathetic attitude toward youth,
and who does not find in parental counsel and guild
ance the understanding which can-exist oniv with
close comradeship. And the man himself is I'M
fortunate who permits the years to rob him of the
spirit OF youth without which life is a desolate>and
hopeless thing. Fortunate are the father and son in
whose experience the life Of the Younger is enriched
and strengthened by all that is best and finest in the
lite and the thought Of the elder. between whom
there exist mutual confidence, mutual fcrbearanceI
and respect, and the mutual knowledge OF a love
that passeth all understanding.
The purpose Of the Father and Son dinner is
not merely to make>a record OF attendance. or to
enable a multitude to pass a pleasant evening. II is
to aid in promoting the development OF character.
toward the highest ideals through fixing s,tessie,.
on a sacred relationship and developing its, posi-
b1i1tles IN a wholesome and natural way. No work
is more worthy of the best effort OF both men and
boys.
