CALENDAR REFORM PLAN
Two Independent Days" Each Year IN Novel
Method Suggested by Nebraskan.

IN these ambitious times it Is
L not surprising that in many
enterprising minds turks project
of improving on the long-standing
work Of julius Caesar and Pope
Gregory XIII by means OF new
reform of the calendar.
A number of individuals and as
sociations are turning over various
plans and throwing out occasional
straws TO see where sits the wind
Of public favor in this matter
If such a reform should go
through 1t would have worldwide
consequences stamped upon hu-
man affairs for thousands OF years
TO come. Nm truth, it might be
made SO thorough that the calen'
dar would never need changing
again to the end of the days OF
man.
Among the schemes for this re-
form that l have seen none seems
more attractive than one outlined

Of the University of Nebraska, in
a. letter to Science" and think
that many readers will be inter

cooked for you, sewed for you, worked tor
you over the counter, listened to your cusslng
and put poultices on your neck when you had
boiIsY Sure she has. And now you have
the nerve to stand up and say that the re

Suppose she hadn't been your welded

keeper or clerk And suppose, after all
these years when she never drew against her

hand it over Moreover, even if you dldn t
approve of what she bought, you'd have to
keep your opinions to yourself. For it would
be HER money, honestly earned, and she
would have the right to do with it as she
chose.

Discussion Is Ended

Reage Lafayette tells the French Chamber of Deputies that
suffrage is great calamity It would mean for
France 1.-The collapse of society," says he.
gentleman should remember that society nearly
collapsed back in 1914 and 1915 when COULDN'T
vote.
The Frenchman adds that mo deny the natural
inequality of the sexes which isn't much of compliment
for his mother and sisters
But fortunately suffrage is fact in the great
majority of civilized countries and longer calls for serious
discussion.

Some Odd Results,

The leader of the next quarter
will be April, and it will begin
with Monday and have thirty-one
days, like January. Observe that
not only does the list OF January
always fall on Monday, but that
Monday is also the first day OF
every one of the four quarters
The second month Of each quar-
ter always begins with THURSDAY
and the third month of each quar-
ter always begins with SATURDAY;

Professor Candy also calls at
tention to the fact that an ooh-
cation running for three months
or any multiple of three months,
would always fall due on the
same day of ~ week. Those
who are accustomed to dealing
with commercial paper will find
many admirably convenient TEA
tlres in a calendar of this form.

right in affirming that its adop-

FIRST INTERSTATE FOOT
BALL CONTEST HERE IS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON

The second annual homecoming day
OF Teachers college will be featured
by the first interstate football classic
to be held in northern Arizona when
the college football eleven clashes
with the New Mexico Normal univer-
sity of East Las Vegas at McMullen
field tomorrow at 2::30 p. m.
There really is nothing on which to
compare the two teams, as East Las
Vegas has been playing teams this
season in Colorado and New Mexico
and neither team has played its op-
ponents. But, according to the
scores made by each team, the dope
favors the Lumberjacks. Coach Jes-
suppe stated today that he expected
his boys to win from the New Mexi-
cans but he is looking for a hard
game.
The East Las Vegas aggregation
was defeated by Menaul Z to 0, while
the Colorado teachers, runners-up in
the Rocky Mountain conference, hand
ed tfTEm a drubbing, So to 0. They
succeeded, however, in holding the
Texas A. & M. college to two touch
downs. The Lumberjacks have suf-
fered two straight defeats in as many
weeks.
The Normal university gridders are
expected in this evening on No. Z, and
will be met at the station by the en-
tire student body of the college.
All the business houses will be
asked to close from 2:30 to 4:30, ac-
cording to Mayor Loren Cress, who is
appointing committee of members
of the Chamber Of Commerce to inter
view the business men.
In the parade tomorrow afternoon
the local alumni will be represented
from graduating classes dating back
to 1901. The alumni and former stu
dents of the college will be guests
at the annual banquet and grand
ball to be given tomorrow evening.
