They depend upon the kind of year, common or leap, and on the day of the week that the year begins. In any century these fl varieties occur in cycles of eS years, but by reason of the fact that of centurial year only those divisible by 400 are leap years, it requires complete period of 400 years for a complete cycle to occur.
 Due to the number Of days in the months, there are eleven varieties in a year. Apart from the year in which q monthly calendar may appear, there arc altogether oS varieties of monthly calendars. The shortest per iod of time in which these 2S varieties may occur is 24 years and one month, the latter being February if a leap year. In other ways the present call endar is inadequate to meet business and scientific demands.
 Should the 15-month style of calen- dar be chosen, the congress would settle details and draft resolutions in legislative form for adoption by the governments. Such a calendar, Dr. Yanney declared, should be good for 5000 years.

NEW CALENDAR PLAN OF
 YEAR OF IS MONTHS
System May Be Changed in 1928 So That Each Month Will Contain
 2S Days.

Wooster. O., April 1.-The worlds calendar may be changed all around in 1928. The year then may consist of 13 months. each 2S days, with an extra day in regular years and two extra in leap years.
 Such is the objective of scientists, ! according 10 Dr. B. r. Yanney, pro- tfessor Of mathematics and astronomy at the College of Wooster, and the revision probably will be acted upon at world congress of scientists likely to be held in Geneva. Switzerland, in October. A special committee. of which Prof. M. E. Cotsworth. Van couver. E. C.. director of the Interna- tional Fixed Calendar League is sec retary. soon will set definite date for the congress.
 The committee was selected at the Association for Advancement of Science.
 International agitation to, change the existing form of the calendar now has reached such 6 stage that organ ization to change to a simpler type is under way. Dr. Yanney said. He expressed himself as certain, if the proposed Scientists Congress adopts the thirteen month style, that senti- ment will be strong to bring about its adoption in 1928 by all countries.
 There are many defects in the pres cnt calendar, Dr. Yanney asserted. It is of Roman origin with number of changes by Augustus Caesar and Pope ! Gregory NH.
 There are 14 varieties of yearly | Dr. Yanney continued.

Fires on Farms Cost
Over Sol, 900 Each Day

Farm fires cost $50, 46O,524 for tho
four years of 1918 to 1921, inclusive.
according to the National Board Of
Fire Underwriters. This was at the
rate of $61,274 day. The rural fire
losses in the State of Indiana for
1928 were put at $3,593,614 by the
state fire marshal of the Hoosier
State. The lack of water system
is largely responsible for such huge
losses, according to the research de-
partment of the National Association
of Farm Equipment Manufacturers.
which has launched a cooperative
movement with the agricultural col
lege extension departments and farm
engineering divisions to stop the ter
rife fire and health losses from lack
of proper water supply systems for
the average farm homes. Less than
one farm In ten has running water
in the home, according to the United
States census figures, and even the
water used for cooking, laundry and
scrubbing must be carried in the prim-
tive way by the farm women az in
the days Of their grandmothers.

Fisheries Bureau Drops
Protest on Power Dam

OLYMPLA.-Constru work on
the huge hydro-electric plant Of the
Stone & Webster Company at Con
crete, on Baker River, In Skagit Coun-
ty, may now begin at the convenience
Of the company, following withdrawal
of the protest filed by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, it was an
nounced by Charles ]. Bartholet, as
sistant state supervisor Of hydraulics.
The bureau objected to the con.
struction Of the plant, which includes
the erection of an impounding dam
235 feet high, on the ground that the
dam would prevent salmon from as
cending the river to their natural
spawning grounds, and especially be-
cause the development would render
useless hatchery Of many years
standing at Baker Lake. A fish lad
der was impracticable, it was held.
Following negotiations, the COM
pany proposed two methods whereby
the development would not interfere
with the fish, according to ]. r. Rus
sell, field superintendent for the bu-
reau. The company at it's own ex-
pense will construct pond below the
dam and the bureau is to catch and
place quantity of adult salmon taken
while en- route to Baker Lake, and de-
termine whether they can be held to
maturity at Concrete below the dam,
1t was stated.
II this proves feasible, the bureau
can avail Itself Of the provision in the
state law and accept hatchery below
the dam in lieu OF fishway, Russell
said. Should this method fail, the
company will install and operate a
lift which will put the live fish into
the pond above the dam and will per.
nit an overflow over or through the
dam during the month Of June each
year to permit the young salmon to
migrate down stream.
The plant will have a capacity Of
$4,000 horsepower and will cost ap-
proximately 100000. according to the
estimate.

ern methods of manufacture there is
little competition between fats Of the
different classes.
Vegetable oils are refined, clarified,
bleached, neutralized, deodorized and
decolorized by l m p 9 processes
known to industrial chemists. Remov-
ing the odors and the tastes, for ex-
ample. is accomplished by blowing
through the mixture of fats super
heated steam or hydrogen.
Owing to its comparative high price
when considered along with vegetable
oils and other animal fats, and it's
enormous consumption throughout
the world, no other oil or fat has been
so subject to ophistication-or imi-
tation Il as butter. Unfortunately,
adulteration of a systematic charac-
ter is facilitated by the natural vari
alton of pure butter itself.

Concrete is ideal for smoke
house because 1t Is fireproof and
ratproof. The smokehouse may be
either rectangular or circular. A
circular structure is convenient II
forms like those used for building
silos are available. A particular
advantage of this plan Is that dis
tributlon Of smoke Is more uniform
than In square structure.
The fre-box should be located en-

sions of the house will vary ac-
cording to requirements. The meat
should be hung at least seven feet
above the floor, for the double plr
pose Of securing even smoking and
to keep 1t from overheatlng.
Concrete block may be used for
building smokehouse walls, care
being taken to lay the block up
with well-fllled joints. No rein
forcing will be required when
eight-inch blocks are used for walls.
A concrete smokehonse should not
be used until 1t Is at least thirty
days old, as the heat from the fire
will cause the concrete to dry out
before II has thoroughly hardened
