The picture above shows what the first two months
of this year would be like under the new calendar
The sma figures in each square show the date under
the present calendar. The year would have begun
for example, on Dec. %, 1929.
Most holidays would get new dates under the new
ARRANGEMENT. Washington's birthday would be cele-
brated Feb. Is; Lincolns birthday Feb. 49, ST. Pat
rcks day, March 20; Decoration day. June 10;
Columbus day. Oct S. The Fourth OF July and
Christmas would be unchanged. Easter would al
ways fall on April 8, and Thanksgiving day always
would be Nov &C.
This is the calendar which now is being urged
throughout the world. It's sponsors predict that it
will be universally adopted within the next decade.

CHICAGO HAS NO FUNDS
Efforts to Raise Millions for City

CHICAGO. Jan. 22.-Wheels of
Chicago'S governmental machinery
slowed down almost to stop today
and creaked from lack of tax money
fabrication. A three-day search for
millions by a rescue committee
of bankers, headed by Silas Strawn,
came to an end with no millions
found.
Unless sore means of producing
cash for city. county and school pay

Labor on the Air

The radio commission has thankless Job In ap-
Forthcoming wave lengths. There are not enough to go
around Every applicant for a broadcastng station Is
certain his claim is better than the other fellows.
Outsiders can not hope to pass Judgment on these
conflicting claims in general except to point 10 the
necessity Of an adequate check on the commissions
decision to prevent discrimination
But there is one particular claim and It's handling
in which the public has unusual interest. That Is
the application Of the American Federation OF Labor
and the Chicago Federation Of Labor.
These organizations, according to the testimony OF
an A. F. Of L. attorney at the senate radio hearings,
have been blocked repeatedly in their efforts to obtain
a cleared channel and high power for national la
Dor broadcasting station.
The Chicago federations station, VIGIL Is re-
strcted TO low power and is excluded from the air at

this case. Organized labor represents a sufficiently

Congress and Mergers

Attorney-Genera Mitchell few months ago in
public address announced determination of the de-
partment of justice continue to enforce the anti
trust laws and abandon the plan of giving formal
opinions legality of proposed mergers.
The statement was considered important, since
the outstanding tendency in American business in
recent times been formation of bigger and bigger
combinations in every direction feeling had grown
up that the antitrust laws were being permitted
to become dead letter.
In light of this. the attitude Of the house ap-
propratons committee is interesting. 1t refused to
grant the antitrust division of the department of
justice increased funds. although advised by the
sisant attorney general in charge that work for the
coming year would be the greatest in the divisions

amount which has not varied greatly in twenty-five

REASON By Ff hASDIs

TIME finest thing this government ever did is to
l. plan and finance this European trip next sum-
mer of five or six thousand Gold Star mothers who
will visit the graves of their who buried over
there.
Nothing like 1t ever took place before and this
pilgrimage will be the most eloquent protest in all
history against the CHASTITY folly Of war.
However, this government should have done 1t
right by sending the Gold Star fathers also.
Mr. Griswold, deputy commissioner Of public
health in Michigan correctly states that those who
have high blood pressure can enjoy many comfort

And they can add few years by forgetting the

TINE bright spot in Chicago's lawlessness is the
l. heroism of her policemen, who almost every day
take their lives in their hands and charge the strong
holds of the gangsterS.
It has become fashionable to abuse the police, but
if the rest of our law enforcement machinery meas
ured up to them in courage and character our crime
problem would be cut in half.
This collie dog which travelled 500 miles from West
Branch Ia, to his old home in Missouri evidently did
not appreciate the honor of residing in President
Hoover'S birthplace.
Remembering that General Phil Sheridan
graduated from West Point by the skin of his teeth
is led to fear that We may have lost or two
real commanders when the military academy dis
missed those sixty cadets for deficiency in scho

Personality is one of the essentials in military
leader, but this doesn't count at West Point.
TOR instance. personality enabled General Fred
l. Funston, who not West Pointer, to plan and
capture Agunaldo over in the Philippines when all
the rest of them had failed to do it.
These members of the national crime commission
who recommend that voIatorS of the prohibition law

evidently overlook the fact that the Constitution pro-

SCIENCE
By DAVID DIETz -
Stetson Belieues Moon Causes
Measurable Tides IN Land
as Well as on the Ocean.
BY DAVID DIETZ
THAT the moon causes measur-

THAT the moon causes measur-
L able tides in the land as well as
in the ocean is the theory advanced
by DR.. Harlan T. Stetson, director
Of the Perkins Observatory OF Ohio
Wesleyan university.
Scientists always have realized
that the moon exercises q gravlta-
tional pull upon the land as well as
the ocean.
1t has been felt, however, that
the rigidity of the land was so great
that its response to this pull was too
small to be measured.
DR.. Stetson, however. says that an
analysis Of astronomical observa-
lions leads to the conclusion that
the shift of given point on the
earth's crust due to the moons pull,
may, in some instances, become as
great as five or six feet.
This new theory of DR.. Stetsons
is of vast Importance, both to as
tronomy and to geology.
If the earth's crust shifts with the
position of the moon, it seems that
astronomical observations at any OBJ
servatory have a systematic error
in them, due to shifting Of the
earth's crust at the place where the
observatory is located.
1t may be necessary, therefore, in
the future when very exact observa-
tons are made, to introduce cor
rections into them, based on the po-
sition Of the moon at the time the
observations were made.

A THOUGH I didn't get up in
n time to hear King George
speak on the radio when the naval
parley opened, this feat of broad
casting seems to me impressive.
And a little terrifying. 1t Is the
potentiality Of rebroadcasting which
aroUses fear.
According to one account, "two
short-wave stations at Schenectady
rebroadcast the rebroadcast In It's
entirety. Past records OF these
transnitters show that they regu-
larly reach out to lonely trapperS
beyond the Arctic circle, to China
and Japan, to the Antipodean coun-
tries, and even to the present most
southerly residents on the sphere,
the Byrd expedition In Little Amer
lea.
1t is q comparatively safe as
sumption that the opening cere-
monies Of this conference could
have been heard by any listener
with a radio receiver in any place
on the globe"
1t was an excellent thing, Of
course, that the whole world should
hear ruler speak in favor Of re-
ducing ornaments.
For this achievement have the
greatest enthusiasm, and still 1t
makes me feel creepy to learn that
any human voice can be sent COM
pletely round the globe in practical
ly no time at all.

Sins of the Mother

The biblical prophecy that the sins OF the parent
will be visited upon the children is than coming
true in America. All the land mothers-to-be are
finding it necessary to let their offspring life first
inside grim prison walls

tells that the womens wing houses lis inmates
and three babies" In San Quentin, Cal, an expect
ant mother recently was removed from her felons cell
to give birth to baby
The birth of another edgling jailbird to Mrs. Sue
Brown serving in California jail for alleged boot
Logging, was prevented by what many consider the
merciful hand that caused the infant to be born
dead.
In view of the prevalent fashion of falling ex
pectant mothers it is suggested respectfully that
equip aiIs and prisons with maternity wards and
nurseries.

VACCINATION
Jan. rs.

I'm JAN. IS, 1875, Edward Jenner,
Nan English physician, discov-
cred vaccination, a method Of pro-
ducing immunity against smallpox.
Although inoculations against the
disease were made before this time,
it was because of Jenner's investiga-
lions and experiments that VAGINA
ton was given significant niche in
medicine.
The word vaccination is derived
from "vacca," Latin for COW, for it
was from dairymaid who con-
tracted cowpox that Jenner first
extracted his vaccine.
With a small dose Of this poison,
Jenner innoculated an 8-year-old
boy in whom typical case of cow
pox, which is similar to smallpox,
developed. But when the boy was
subsequently inoculated With real
smallpox germs, no Ill effects re-
suited.
The theory on which Jenner
made his discovery was that the
mild cowpox poison set up resist
ance against smallpox because the
body Of the person inoculated man
ufactures a counter poison, known
as an anti-body.
The first known use of vaccina-
ton in this country was in Boston.
when DR.. Zabdiel Boyleston inocu-
lated his son and two Negroes In
171f a wear before the SrraIiUox
epidemic In that city.

Scrap the System

TINE best way to stop the racket
l. in bail bonds, to prevent the cor
ruption in which they have resulted.
to wipe out the distinction they
make between rich and poor, is TO
scrap the whole system.
Bail represents nothing less than
confession of weakness on the part
of our judicial system at the very
start.
Considering what we have done to
eliminate crime, the elaborate ma
chinery we have devised, the drastic
penalties we have provided, 1t is
disgraceful to begin by calling on
friends of the accused" or q pri-
vate corporation, to see that defend
ants hang around until their cases
are called, or forfeit a certain
amount of money if they do not.
If the state can not perform that
service effectively, how in heavens
name does it ever expect to convince
people that it can do the rest?
1t goes without saying LnaG peo-
pie should not be kept in jail while
they wait for the grand jury, or the
court to get around to hearing their
cases.
BY the same token, 1t goes without
saying that, if anything, people
without friends, without influence,
and without money should be pro-
tected more zealously In this right
than any other, because Of their OBJ
yious need.
The well-to-do defendant much
better could afford to stay in jail a
month or six weeks, than the one
whose daily toll is the only thing
that stands between him and actual
want, but under the bail system now
in vogue, it is the well-to-do defend
ant who can avoid staying in Jail.

When the records of a consider

It's Rotten [ leftover

IRON an historical standpoint
l. bail may look beautiful. From
a modern standpoint, it is one OF
the rottenest leftoverS of the past.
If private companies can make
money out Of bail, why can't the
state, and If private companies or
friends can guarantee a defendants
appearance in court, why can't the
state?
If one man IS entitled to liberty
when charged with certain Of
Tense, why is not another, and why
should a few dollars make any diff
ference?
Bail is chiefly significant because
it enables people with a little cash
in their pocket, or with little pull,
to get something out of the law that
other people can not.
In the end, it guarantees nothing,
and adds nothing to efficiency Of
the judicial system.
There is no reason In the world
why a defendant entitled to liberty
while his case is pending should
not be allowed to report to magis-
trate or probationary officer at
stated intervals, and let 1t 60 at
that.
The idea of compelling his friends
to put up bond, or of permitting
commercial institution to render
that service for a stated price, is
not only Anticipated, but contrary
to fair play.

find out whether he contains the
germs responsible.
The occurrence of such cases in
the United States is new evidence
of the fact that methods of trans
portation, exchange of products
among various nations, and the
complete abolishing of boundary
lines between peoples makes it i'm
possible any longer for nation
to be isolated. The disease of one
people sooner or later will appear
among others.
Already cases Of many Of the
tropical diseases have been found
among the sick in the United
States.
It is probably that more and
more cases are likely to APP
pear in the future, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the United States
public health service and all OF
the health organizations of various
nations are concerning themselves
with the prevention of such trans
mission.

Universe

THIS Is the second important
l. piece of work which DR.. Stetson
has done to show the close relation
ship Of our earth to the rest Of the
universe.
Recently he showed that there
was direct connection between
radio reception and Sun-spOts and
that radio reception improved as
spots on the sun decreased.
The old astrologers imagined that
the configuration of the planets con-
trolled the destinies of individual
men. The modern astronomer re-
CARDS astrology as nonsense.
1t is interesting, however, to note
that each day brings to light more
connections between the earth and
the rest of the universe, not cratic
and superstitious connections such
as the old astrologers imagined, but
physical connections which can be
explained on the basis of science.
The sun is important to life.
Without its heat and light life
would not be possible. The process

dioxide Of the air and the water of
the soil into starches and sugars is
possibly only with the energy of sun
light.
In addition, recent studies at the
Mayo Foundation tend to indicate
that the various wave lengths of
sunlight have varying effects upon
plants, some even acting as brakes
or checks upon certain processes.
Finally, there are the mysterious
cosmic days, coming in from outer
stellar space. These rays are so
penetrating that they pass through
and through all living organisms.
Perhaps some day they will be found
10 play some fundamental role in
life processes.
