Leap-Year Reckoning
Quite Simple Matter

The year 1923 is leap year, as it
is Invisible by four without remainder.
There has been no change in the cal
endar for the last two centuries. AS
the exact length Of year, determined
by the earth's revolution around the
sun, is a little less than 365A
days, the old Julian calendar, CIV
Ing leap year every four years,
was inexact. A new calendar, called
the Georgian, was proposed anG
adopted by most Christian nations in
the Sixteenth century or later, to
rectify this error. This calendar pro-
vides for 81 leap years in each 400
years. The only difference from the
Julian calendar is that century years,
such as 1900, 100, 1900, 1900, etc.,
are not leap years unless they are
Invisible by 400 without remainder.
Thus 1000 and 1000 are leap years,
while 100, 1900. and 1900 are not
leap years.

Milk POPULAR
in CALIFORNIA
REPORT SHOWS

Other parts of the country may
argue over the wet and dry problem,
but in the meantime California
drinks milk!
The consumption for the past
year in this state, according to an
announcement made yesterday by Is.
l.. Carver, vice-president in charge
of the milk division, California Dair-
les, Inc, was 33,450,212 quarts.
This was at the rate of 1,1S7,530
quarts day!
Once upon time, it is recalled,
a brewery of the old style boastcd
about its sale of the "one million
glasses a day But, said Carver,
that is now all past history.
Every Californian last year con-
sumed six quarts more milk than the
year previously. This increase, it
is believed, was due largely to the
increased demand for milk delivered
at the factory gates. During the
noon hour at almost any California
industrial plant, the milk man is a
person of Importance and when lie
appears he is fairly mobbed by work
men who finish off their noon repast
with milk as the favorite beverage.
Not only in California but every
V here in America, the expert de-
clared, milk has become the work
ilgman's favorite drink.
IN addition to the great increase
in the amount of milk consumed in
California each year, said the cX-
ccutive, there is more discrimination
as to quality and methods of pro-
duction. The public wants to be
assured that proper sterilization and
rasteurization methods are employ
ed: that their bottles contain milk
If the exact percentage of butter

That milk is daily growing in pop
ularity as a food, not alone for chill
dren, but for adults as well, is indi-
Gated by the increased demand felt
from restaurants and hotels. Car.
rcr predicted that this year Cali.
fornia will pass the half billion
mark in milk consumption.

comedians and critics say the best

Charlie Murray, who is featured in

The Gorilla' is the hilarious

"The Gorilla'' is an adaptation
of Ralph Spence stage play of the

elements of fun and chills that

picture have been enlarged over
those in the stage play. 1t is re-

weirdest, spookiest mystery and the
greatest comedy imaginable.
Murray and Kelsey have the
roles of the two dumb detectives,
Mulligan and Garrity, whose great
