Civil Service Tests Are Re vealed-75 Per Cent
 Lose Tn Exams

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2-The Civil Service tests which caused 75 per cent of the prohibition field forces to funk in their ex- aminations have been made pub lie by the Civil Service Commis- sion, and showed variety of questions ranging from what an agent should do when fellow worker was charged with being .crooked,' to the reasons for making finger prints.
 On5 of three practical questions dealt with what should be done if a bootlegger whom the agents were after told them that he had been told they were trying to trap him.
 Another asked what should be done if three agents were working on a case and one of them told the applicant that the third was negotiating directly with violators of the law. The third asked for a report on an imaginary case where town and county officials were protecting liquor dealers.
 The mental tests required the applicants to pick from material furnished them the best answers to various questions. One of these questions read
 "A number of pint bottles of whiskey were found in the auto mobile of man arrested for driv- ing while in state of intoxica- ton. Which is the best indica- tion that the man intended to dis tribute them?"
 Friends call frequently at his residence" "The bottles were wrapped separately and addressed to different persons at an athletic club" Liquor of the same brand and label is possessed by another man in the same neighborhood.' , "The man owns stock in soft drink manufacturing company which operates near his home" "He attempted to conceal the li- quor."

PLANE CARRIES
 LARGE SHIPMENT OF ALASKA FURS.
Merrill Returns to Anchor age from Bethel with
 Cabin Filled Furs

The return oI Anchorage Air Transportation plane, Pilot R. II. Merrill, from Bethel, where he took Douglas Austin and Marion Goldstein. fur buyers and Howard Happier mining man, brought out what is thought to be the largest consignment of fur ever carried by airplane in Alaska, according to the Anchorage Times. which carried the following account:
 With what is believed to have been the largest shipment of furs ever carried by an airplane ill Alaska. the cabin ship of the An chorage Air Transport. Inc, re- turned 10 the Anchorage base late yesterday afternoon direct from Akiak, with Pilot R. H. Merrill at the stick. The furs completely filled the large cabin of the plane, leaving barely room for the lo pounds of first class mail brought over
 "The plane left Anchorage for Akiak on January ? with Micky Goldstein and D. Austin, fur buy CTS, and Howard Happier. mining man, as passengers. The flight to Akiak was made in four hours and half, with the temperature ranging from 90 to 54 in the cock pit of the plane during the jour ney and it was zero at Akiak when the landing was made. The return flight yesterday consumed more time because of head winds encountered. the plane being VI the air five hours and 20 minutes.
 "The three passengers set out from Akiak with dog teams. en route down the Kuskokwim river. Later one of them returned to Akiak from Bethel to request Pilot Merrill to take them down the river. but because the plane was needed at Anchorage. the re- quest could not be granted. Mer- Till did go as far as Bethel, how ever, and returned to Akiak On Tuesday with number of con signments of furs from that dis trlct. The remainder of the cargo was loaded at Akiak. with sorle furs left behind because there was not room in the plane for them. Some of the furs were shipped Dy Goldstein and Austin and the rest by trappers and traders located along the Kuskokwim river. The furs will be shipped to the states on the next steamer by the An chorage Air Transport.
 "On the return flight from Akiak, Merrill flew low as he passed over Lake Chackachamna but was unable to see Valentine and Legrid, the two trappers he landed there on an earlier flight, and who are now awaiting the re- turn of the plane with additional supplies. It is supposed the men were up one of the valleys when the plane crossed the lake.
 "No flying difficulties were eN- perienced on the long flight, either going to or returning from Akiak, the big ship performing wonderfully throughout the entire trip"

CALENDAR

The proposed 13-month calendar
was explained in detail by Lieut.. Col.
Edmund Bulls to members of the
City Club at their weekly forum
luncheon today. The plan for inter
national calendar reform, which is
being pushed by certain business in
terests, he said, was selected from
185 proposals submitted to the
League of Nations.
This proposed calendar" he said,
consists OF 13 months of % days
each. The first Of each month would
fall on Sunday. A new month, called
SOL, abbreviation of Solstice, would
be inserted between June and July.
The 365th day, known as year
Day." would have no weekday name
and would be inserted between Satur.
day. December %. and Sunday, Jan
uary l. In a like manner every four
years, Leap Day" would be placed
between Saturday, June %, and Sun
day. Sol i.
THE League of Nations committee
has developed three undisputed de.
fects in the present calendar. The
first Is the inequality in the length
of months. quarters and half years,
which upsets all statistical and &C.
counting comparisons.
1.-THE second is the want of fixity
in the calendar which makes the
work days, rest days, pay days and
week ends unequal in consecutive
months and in corresponding months
of different years. The dates of
periodical events cannot be definitely
fixed,
Third. the wandering East causes
the church year to vary in length.
