NORTHWESTERN HERALD"
MAKES FORMAL BOW

The first issue of the Northwes-
tern Herald came from the press in
jefferson, Ashe county, on the 3rd,
and judging by the initial effort the
publication will be successful and
power for good in Ashe county.
The Editor Mr. D. Clinton Nance
formerly of the Winston-Salem Jour
nal, has been in the newspaper game
directly and indirectly for number
of years, and has as his publisher
Mr.. R. F. Gentry, printer and jour-
nalist of the "oldl Fchool' and back
ed as it is by soh> of the strongest
men in Ashe County, the growth of
the venture seems unquestionable.
The first issue contained four pa
ges, all home print, and in view of
the fact that things are not yet run
ming smoothly in the shop, some of
the equipment having never yet ar
rived, it's a wonderful beginning. It's
clean and neat, and we welcome ano-
ther champion of the Northwest"

TUT SARCOPHAGIJS
ALL WAS EXPECTED
VIII Be Impossible for Some Time
to Get Very Comprehensive View
of the Tomb.

LUXOR, Egypt dispatch. For the
present at least ind probably for
some time it will be impossible to get
a comprehensive view of the gigan-
TIC granite sarcophagus of Pharaoah
Tutankhamen, surrounded as it is
by the nest of shrines.
There is abundant evidence. how
ever, that it fully bears out the sur
mise OF the archaeol0gists that the
Sarcophagus of Tutankhamen, the
magnificent, would in everywise be
worthy of the great era of art in
which that Pharaoh reigned. The
coffin of Harmahib his successor, now
lies in the depths of Harmahib's rui-
ned tomb not 400 yards from the
resting place of Tutankhamen, is al
so of pinkish stone and is of a purity
of design and delicacy of workman
ship that represents the great sculp-
ture of Egypt at it's best, notably
the protective goddesses at it's four
corners, covering with outspread
wings, as it were, the body of the
dead king.
1t is considered probable that the
excavatOrs will arrange for view of
the sarcophagus in its shrines for
the official world within the next
week or so.

severest weather for few DAYS that
1t has had for number of years, if
ever. On Sunday the thermometer

10 to Is below. One standard instru-

possibly safe estimate. The tempera-

er for on Monday morning it register
ed rs degrees warmer than it did on
Sunday, though it is not warm yet.
This seems to be the storm that has
been brewing over the west for some
days.
The Training School opened ON
January 3, after nearly two weeks

weather a number of the students
did not get back on time. Quite a
number of new students have already

What some of the older inhabi-

said to have shown 10 degrees below

Although the cold wave covered

YEARS OF IS MONTHS MAY
BEGIN IN 1928 IF LEAGUE
AGREES WITH ASTRONOMERS
Plan to Add Four Weeks to Calen-
dar and Divide it into % Day Pc
riods Explained to Scientists.

Every year beginning with 1928
will consist of thirteen months in
stead of twelve if the astronomers
have their way at the League of Ma
tions committee meeting on revision
of the calendar next year. The plan
for inserting an extra month in the
proposed worldwide calendar to be
evolved at the meeting, was explain
ed before the American Association
of Science in Cincinnati, recently by
M. B. Cotsworth of Vancouver, its
originator.
Each month under the plan would
consist Of twenty eight days or four
complete weeks, the thirteenth month
to be inserted between June and July
and to be known as "Sol." In leap
yearc ''leap day" instead of falling
at the end of February, would be in
serted. at the end Of the new month
and there would also be an extra ho-
liday on December 29th, not desig-
mated as any particular day of the
week. Sundays always would be the
first day of the month.
Easter also would be set at a per-
manent time instead of being govern
ed by the position of the moon as
under the present Gregorian, calen-
dar Tentatively, April 8, the middle
point between the earliest and the
latest easter has been selected.
The Gregorian calendar, with its
month of uneven length, is inconve.
nient to present day business and
domestic life, Mr.. Cotsworth declar.
ed. While salaries, rents, accounts
and budgets in many cases are on q
monthly basis, the discrepancies in
the length of months cause much con.
fusion, he said.
Should the new calendar, said to
have the approval of Representatives
of number of countries, be adopted
national holidays might be dated al
will, but translation of birth date:
into terms of the new system would
be necessary.
