to believing that he was purchasing
liquor bottled at the time of the date
on the label. The bottles are new.
however, it was said, as are the la
bells.
Even the liquor being sold from
Rum Row. 1t is said, is largely syn

RUSSIAN TINE

The proposal to change the cal
endar and the system III reckoning
time in Russia, submitted by a
special committee of the council Of
commissars, is indicative OF the
Soviet desire to fool with things
long established.
That the plan is unscientific IL
apparent. Better plans already
have been suggested, but the units
now in use have acquired a species
OF historic changelessness which
cannot be ignored.
The Soviets propose year Of
$50 days. divided into twelve
months a thirty days each. This
would leave 81 days unattached
to any month. The Soviets would
divide the days into twenty-six
hours OF fifty-seven minutes each
and put six weeks of five days each
in every month. The effect of this
arrangement would be to have one
rest day in every five.
The length of the day and of the
year cannot be changed. One rep
resents the quantity of time re-
quired by the earth to make one
complete rotation on its axis and
the other is the time required for
revolution about the sun.
The hour. the week and the
month are artificial units that may
be changed, although their antiqu-
ity gives them certain perma-
hence.
1t would be within the power OF
man to divide the day up into TWEEN
ty-six hours as the Soviets pro-
pose, but no practical advantage
would come of it. Also the week
or month could be shortened or
heightened Chronology has no
interest in hours and minutes.
If the Soviet really desired to
establish scientific system Of
computing the lapse of time, they
might accept the year Of thirteen
months. However, that appears
not to be the wish Of the Moscow
authorities.
They wish to be different, and
tic rest of the world is quite will
ing that they should continue to be
different.-Seattle Times.
