body reckons the first day or
spring as the goth of March;
that of summer as the 21st OF
June. or that of winter as the
22d of December. Some OF these
dates are really far past the open
ing of the seasons to which they

Coolest Day
Walter P. White, of the Geo
physical Laboratory calls atten-
ton to a curve drawn for the
climate of our city, which shows
that ''the average coolest day OF
the year is, within a day or so,
the 21st of January; the average
coolest ninety days runs from the
7th of December to the TIN OF
March. Similarly, the middle Of
summer is very cloes to the 21st
of July, with the whole summer
running from the 7th Of June to
the 7th of September
This curve, he thinks, may not
run very far out for the north.

But he wisely adds that by
splitting months in meteorological
calculations dealing with the sea
sons of nature as IL we counted
those seasons from the first of
December. March. June and Sep
tember."
That, of course, is the way we
do count them. and having been
used to the system so long, we
don't find much inconvenience in
it. Upon the whole, too. Julius
Caesar seems to have been about
right when he changed the be-
ginning of the year from March
to January. The advantage Of
the old system used in Rome be-
fore Caesars time, and in Eng.
land until 1852, was that 1t kept
the beginning of spring close to
the vernal equinox, which Is the
time when the sun crosses the
equator from the south side and
begins to make the days longer
than the nights In the Northern
hemisphere.
Less Illogical
That was all very we'll as long
as there were no civilized people
living in the Southern Henri
sphere, but today IL we should
make our year begin with the
spring equinox, our contempt
raries south of the equator would
have an equally specious reason
for making their year begin with
the autumn equinox, the 21st Of
September, for it is then that, for
them, the sun introduces the com.
ing summer by beginning to
stretch the length of their days
and to shorten the nights.
Nowadays we have to take the
entire world into consideration,
and it Is surely less illogical for
the austral inhabitants Of the
globe to have their mid-winter
occur in the month called July,
and their midsummer in the
month called January, than il
would be to have their year begin
six months apart from the begin.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 23.--CP)-
After drifting and rolling helplessly
about in the Atlantic for more than
20 hours, 30 miles off Cape Charles,
with both of her propellors gone. the
127 foot yacht Sebonac. owned by a.
{. Burton of Houston Tex, was tow

aboard, little the worse for their cx-

Mr.. Burton, who is navigating the
craft himself, aided by Captain J. w.

week in New York and was taking it
to Houston with a party of friends as
his guests.

Opposition to the emergency officers
retirement bill. one of the principal
proposals in the American Legion leg

Representative Simmons, Republican,
Nebraska, former American Legion de-

Mr.. Simmons said he was opposed
to the bill as passed by the Senate at
the last session because it would "cre-
ate inequalities" between the emer-
gency officer and the enlisted man of
the World War. The bill would per-
nit retirement of emergency officers
with the same privileges and pay as
allowed regularofficers for service in
yolving disability.
The measure would benefit less than
1900 of the 5000 disabled emergency
officers. Mr.. Simmons said. and will

Alexandra Will Be Buried
at Windsor Beside
Edward VII.

SANDRINGHAM, England. Nov.
2S.-R)-The body of Queen Mother
Alexandra lies in little. dimly light
ed church here. where it will be on
view until Tuesday, so that those who
desire. may pass by the bier and pay
their respects to the beloved woman
whom many of them had known or
seen in Sandringham. Throughout last
night four servants Of the royal house
hold watched beside the homemade
oak coffin.
With the purest sympathy. the cas-
ket was taken over the path which
Alexandra was wont to use in going
from the palace 10 the church to offer
up her devotions. 1t was wheeled un-
der trees by servants, followed by
Princess Victoria and Princess Mary
of Greece. On arriving at the church,
it was placed before the altar and
over it was thrown as pail the queen
mothers own standard.
No crepe was to be seen inside the
little church nor were the candles
lighted. A few wreaths, the floral
tokens of affections from the men,
bers Of the royal household were
placed here and there about the cof-
fin.
Simplicity also marked the funeral
service which was held later. The min
lister delivered a tribute to Alexandra
but did not preach n sermon. The
service was attended by King George
and Queen Mary and the Prince of
Wales. and other royal personages.
With them mourned n large number
Of the regular members of the con-
gregation.
King George went afoot from the
palace TO the church, taking with him
a wreath and cross made of dark
hued violets and white and pink flow
ers, blossoms which had been favoritcs
Of the queen mother during her life
time. These floral pieces were the joint
tributes of the king and queen.
After the service. King George and
Queen Mary and al the royal person
ages returned to Sandringham house,
and four servants took their watch be-
side the coffin which was made from
oak cut on the royal estate, and built
by estate carpenters.
After the funeral services Friday
in Westminster Abbey. the body of
the queen mother will be taken to
Windsor Castle. There on Saturday,
it will be laid beside that of her hus-
band, King Edward VII, under the
Albert Memorial Chapel in which they
