Odd Situation Caused
by Old Chinese Calendar

If winter comes can spring be far
behind? The question has found an
unusual answer by a Chinese stu
dent in a Shanghai newspaper, who
states and proves his point that in
1920 spring actually came on the
calendar before New Years day.
The old Chinese calendar. which
was the lunar calendar of 40, an
nounced the festival of Li-chun, or
springs commencement day, on the
twenty-fifth day of the twelfth moon,
which was equivalent to February 4
on the solar calendar; whereas Chi
nese New Year did not come until
February 10.
Since New Years day is generally
considered the commencement of the
cold weather, il can safely be said
that in China in 1920 spring came
before winter. 1t is not likely to
happen again, though, for the Nam
king government has decreed that
in future the lunar calendar is to
be abolished, the foreign style cal
endar taking it's place.

was transferred to England, returning
to America in 1885. On August Il,
1891. he died in Cambridge.
Horace Mann, born in Franklin.
Mass, May 4, 1886, after his grad
uation from Brown university became
a teacher, and then lawyer. He was
a member of the Massachusetts legis-
lature from 1927 to 1887, and from
1887 to 1S4S served as secretary of
the Massachusetts board of education.
Mann visited Europe in 1913 and
brought back with him reports on for
eign school systems which attracted
wide attention. Due to his efforts the
school system of Massachusetts was
entirely reorganiZed and became a
model for many other states. From
1S4S to 1858 Mann served as men,
Der of congress. After his term was
over he became president of An
tioch college in Ohio and served there
until his death in 1859. History has
preserved his fame as the founder of
the normal school system in this coun-
try and father" of the American pub
lie school system.
John Lothrop Motley won his
fame as historian of a European
country. He was born in Dorchester.
Mass, April Is, 1914, and was gradu-
ated fom Harvard in 1881. He then
went to Germany to study, and upon
his return to this country studied law,
although literature was more to his
taste. He published an American nov
ell in 1889, but it attracted little at
tention. After a short career at the
American legation in Russia he re-
turned to America again to serve a
term in the Massachusetts legislature
After ten years of hard labor, dur
ing which he returned to Europe and
found it necessary to rewrite much of
that which he had already written, he
published his "History of the Dutch
Republic" in 1856 and was immediate
ly acclaimed both in America and
abroad. Along with these literary
honors came a call to public service.
and from 1861 to 1867 he served as
American minister to Austria. and
from 1850 to 1870 to Great Britain.
Motley died in Dorchester, England.
May 20, 1877.
A statesman, writer, an educator
and inventor and two historians-such
was the contribution Of Massachusetts
to the 1880 Hall of Fame ceremonies.
To make it complete, she also provided
a great jurist-Joseph Story. He was
born at Marblehead, Mass, in 1910.
Harvard graduated him in 1898 and
Salem saw him begin practice as a
lawyer in 1901.
He was elected to congress in 1905
and in 1911 became speaker of the
house. Soon afterwards President
Madison appointed him associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, and during his long career
of "a years ON that high tribunal he
assisted in the development of Amer
lean constitutional law and in fixing
the status of the American admiralty,
patent and equity Jurisprudence. He
died in Cambridge in 1916.

Curling, long considered a mans
game, has become feminine pas

become experts at the game. and
many new curling clubs for them
were formed during the winter. The

form a women's section, which is al

One phrase, "Give me liberty or

the name Of Patrick Henry, "the Ora
tor of the Revolution" Born at Stud
ley, Va, May 90, 1876, the future adj
vocate of freedom was an indolent pu-
pill in school and a failure in business.
But when he took up the study of law
he found himself and soon became.
known as one of the most brilliant law
yers in state noted for it's legal lu-
minaries. By 1853 he had acquired
renown as an orator and this was in
creased in the famous Parsons Case"
when he denied the right of the Brit
ish king to abrogate acts of the CO.
lonial legislature.
Henry was an influential member Of
the Continental congress from 1774 to
1776 and a signer of the Declaration
of Independence. In 1776 he was chos-
en- governor of Virginia and served IN
til 1910. He sat in the legislature
from 1850 to 1884, again served as
governor from 1854 to 17S6, and once
more, from 1856 to 1890, was a men,
Der of the state assembly. He de-
clined to serve in the Constitutional
convention and opposed the ratifica-
ton of the Constitution. Again in
1899 he ran for the legislature and
was elected but died in Charlotte
county, June 6, 1899, before he could
take office.
Elias Howe, inventor of the sewing
machine, was another Bay State prod
uct, having been born in Spencer,
Mass, in 1919. In 1S43-45 he ex-
perimented with lock-stitch sewing
machine and finally perfected it, Sc
curing a patent in 1916. For years he
vainly sought recognition of his inven-
ton, both in this country and in Eng
land, where he sold his rights in 1S47
for 80 pounds sterling. While absent
abroad his patent was infringed upon
by others, but eventually the courts
decided in Howe's favor, and after
years of wretched poverty Howe sud-
denly found himself wealthy. In 1868
he erected large sewing machine fac
tory at Bridgeport, Conn.,, where he
died in 1867.
James Russell Lowell, born in Cam
bridge, Mass, on February %, 1919,
was one of the famous groups of writ
ers which Massachusetts gave to the
nation during the middle half of the
Nineteenth century, and of them all
Lowell was undoubtedly the most ver-
satile. Having been graduated from
Harvard in 1888 he Immediately en-
tered the Harvard law school, took his
degree in 1910 and began to practice.
After several years abroad Lowell
returned to become a teacher in Har-
ward and to enter upon an epoch in
his life as scholar and critic. He
became the first editor of the newly
established Atlantic Monthly in 1857,
resigning in 1861 to become associ-
ated with the North American Review
in 1864. He resigned that position in
1872 and again went abroad, where the

Seven Have Been Eliminated
Definitely and Three Others
Have Small Chance

Washington, Sept. 12.-R)-Al-
though proportionately less hard hit
than the senate by this years party
primaries. the house appeared today
to have lost through verdict. of the
voters so far five more members than
its companion chamber.
While five senators were refused
denomination, seven representatives
have been eliminated definitely and
three more appear slated to go into
unsought retirement.
An Official canvass of the vote in a
questioned county showed Represent
alive Louis G. Cramton, Republican
dry leader of Michigan, an almost
certain loser to IN opponent who
favors a referendum on prohibition.
The dean of all Democratic Georgia
delegation, Thomas H. Bell, seemed
hopelessly behind his district primary
vote which spelled his defeat.
Those definitely beaten for renom-
ination in the primaries held so far
include: Willis ]. Sears, Nebraska;
w. w. Chalmers, Ohio: Grant M.
Hudson. Michigan, ana John Frank
lin Miller, Washington. Republicans:
and John G. Box, Texas; Joseph
Whitehead, Virginia; and j. lad
Spearing. Louisiana, Democrats.
Miller and Hudson, both pronounced
drys, lost to vets in Wednesdays vot-
ing. Chalmers, from the ninth Ohio
district. was also dispossessed Of his
party's nomination by a man classl-
fled as q wet-Wilbur M. White.

not figure perceptibly In the defeat Of
