POE'S CHARACTER
GETS NEW DEFENSE
Poet Blamed for Acts His Fl.
der Brother Did, Assert
Biographers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December "a false
impression Of the life of Edgar Allen
Poe prevails in the national mind as
the result of biographers confusing
his life with that of a little known
brother. it is contended by Hervey
Allen and Thomas Olive Mabbott in a
biography of William Henry Leonard
Poe, the brother, to be published soon.
Henry Poe, as the authors call him,
was born, like his brother, in Boston,
in 1907. He died In 1881. He was
Edgars elder by two years. The
authors do not find confusion in the
general character of the brothers, due
to alleged composite pictures in pre-
vious biographers writings, for, they
assert. the brothers were much alike,
but they perceive a confusion Of the
brothers experiences.
Henry Called Rather Wild.
Henry" they say, "is known to
have been rather wild, to have early
developed a fondness for drink, to
have been fond of female society-and
to have died young. That he must
also have possessed a considerable
charm. not a little talent, a some
what precocious development, and a
vivid magination--what little we have

was much like that of Edgar, but he
was a little taller. He wrote poetry
on Iugubrious themes, was either en-
listed in the Navy or attached to a

choly and died early of tuberculosis.

collaborators, (Which Edgar Poe
afterward incorporated into his own

THE NEW CALENDAR

One of the minor matters handled by the League
of Nations, which may develop into something very
useful the worlds business, is calendar reform The
league is sponsoring the 'thirteen-nonth year and
really seems to be making little progress with it.
No nation has yet adopted the plan officially,
but report issued at Geneva shows that numerous
private OF ganizatons taking it up. They do so
because they find the innovation useful as auxiliary
calendar, for purposes of accounting and paying
ployees.
The peculiar merit of this calendar lies in the fact
that it makes the months all of equal length, each
months having % days and four weeks with the
day of the month always the same day of the
week The resulting simplicity and convenience in
estimating salaries and wages and in adjusting income
to expenditure is easily
Public opinion, the calendar committee of the league
admits is not yet ready accept such marked change
in time reckoning. But it may do eventually.
Every calendar reform ever made has net with diff
culties at first. An existing calendar is always re-
garded as an immutable law of nature Yet eXpe-
rience shows that they can be changed.
