CALENDAR REVISION

Should the United States Chamber
of Commerce vote favorably on the
George Eastman movement to re-
wise the calendar, the probabilities
are that the proposition will be put
to final test, and it will not be at
all strange if the experiences of a
little more than two centuries ago
are repeated, and by changing the
calendar of the world. All histories
relate two calendar birthdays for
George Washington, Old Style, Feb
ruary IL; new calendar, February
%, 1882. The Washington Post edi-
torially commends the proposal to
change the calendar and says that
it is receiving strong support.
T. V. O'Connor, Chairman of the
United States Shipping Board, says
that "a simplified calendar would be

checking up the amount of travelling
expenses" It's most positive advan-
tage from the standpoint of shipping
would lie in the clear Interpretation
which could be put upon general
statistical data. "The gain in having
month that always contains the
same number of days and an even
number of weeks would more than
counterbalance any disadvantages
that might arise" says Chairman
O'Connor. 1t is remarkable to read
the opinions of hundreds of business
men of the country who have agreed
with the suggestion of Mr.. Eastman
for a change in the calendar. The
new method would give equal
months and Is months to the year.
