vened by the Council Of the League Of
Nations during the latter part Of

win Draw Up Treaty.
For the purpose Of organizing the
conference, the League viii employ the
machinery Of the Fourth General Con-
ference on Communications and Tran
sit. These quadrennial conferences are
constituted of government represents
tives to which the Council OF the
League invites all nations and to which
the United States has sent delegates
In the past. On this occasion calendar
reform will be virtually the only sub
iect on the agenda. The delegates will
have power to draw UP a protocol or
treaty enbodying its decisions for sub
mission to the respective governments.
The decision to create preparatory
committee Of experts was governed by
the fact that the worldwide discussion
Of calendar reform in the last few years
has produced many ideas as TO the
best plan to adopt and developed diff
fering viewpoints among various inter-
ests In different countries. These are
being assembled by the national COM
nittee or special committees on cal
erdar reform that have been estab-
lished In nearly all countries at the
request of the League. 1t will be the
duty Of the preparatory committee TO
collate the information and recommen-
dations Of these committees In order TO
facilitate the work Of the conference.
The preparatory committee will at the
same time hear representatives Of any
interested organizations who wish TO
present their views.
U. S. First to Send Report.
Notice will be sent to all national and
special committees that their reports
should be in hand at Geneva not later
than March 81, 1881. The report Of the
United States committee, headed by
George Eastman, and the first to be
formed, was transmitted to the League
through the State Department in Au-
gust of last year. Most of the other
national committees are still engaged in
their surveys, some of them having only
been established in the last few months.
Among the most recent and most
important Is the British committee,
headed by Lord Burnham, editor Of
the Morning Telegraph and COM
posed of prominent representatives of
British industry. labor, law, education
and other fields of activity, with q
member of Parliament as secretary.
The German committee Is headed by
member of the ministry of economic af-

Of other departments of the government
and Of economic and other interests.

First Taken Up in 1923.
The question Of calendar reform was
nrst taken up by the League of Nations
In 1928, chiefly at the request OF the
international Chamber of Commerce,
which asked for an international con-
ference for the purpose Of adopting a
perpetual and fixed calendar. The
League appointed a special committee
OF inquiry, which studied the subject
for three years and examined 1855 plans
OF calendar change. The report Of the
committee was sent by the League to
all governments in 1927 with a request
that the subject be studied by a ma
tional committee established for the
purpose in each country and that the
League be informed as to public opinion
on the question.
Among the larger American organ
izations which have recently adopted
resolutions favoring improvement of
the calendar and the participation of
the United States In an international
conference for the purpose are the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
Association of Governmental Oficials
In Industry, Academy of Science Of
New Hampshire and American Opto-
metric Association.
Several other national industrial and
labor organizations have appointed
committees to study the subject, and
it is on the program of the conven-
tons Of others.
The use of the 13-period calendar
as means of avoiding some of the
difficulties of the present calendar in
business operations continues to spread.
Among concerns which have advised
the committee that they have adopted
this calendar system. or announced
their intention to do so, are the Bodine
Electric Co., Chicago; Consolidated
Laundries Corporation, New York;
Globe Knitting Works, Grand Rapids,
Mich; Green Cafeterias Co., Kansas
City, Mo, and Ludowici-Celadon Co.,

T HAVE a friend who occu-
a pied a prominent official
position in Washington for a
number of years. After his re-
tirement he opened an office
and let it be known that he
would act as an adviser to
individuals and companies
having business to transact
with the Government.
Recently he told me that his
first years income was about
10 times as large as he had
dared to hope for.

grew out of work which I did
for a certain charitable or
ganization, with no thought of
personal gain. And a large
piece of business once walked
into my Office, sent by the
brother of a man whom I had
been able to help many years
before, and in an entirely diff
ferent part Of the country.
Speaking generally, I should
say that the chance of being
rewarded for good works is
sufficient so that any man is
justified, from a purely selfish
standpoint, in going out of his
way occasionally to be kind.
To say nothing of the fact
that doing things for other
people brings a personal salts
faction which Is, in itself, a re-
ward.

for common market price for export
wheat among the succession states.
Naturally If Rumania and Jugoslavia
agree to boost their price then the Hun
garian crisis may be averted-tempo-
rarily-with the other fellow paying the
bill. And it explains Hungarian terror
at any proposals for customs unions be-
tween the other countries-which might
very well be Hungarys ruin.
Domestically the results are even
worse. It Is not exaggeration to say
that people are starving in Hungary
today. The government has had to
distribute free food in several quar-
tiers. Emergency workers have been
employed on irrigation projects to stave
on riots. Hunger marches have begun
on Budapest. Up In the north, people
say, peasants are being buried in sacks,
because they can afford coffns no
longer.

June a field Office in Panama CITY,

An enthusiastic movement for high
way construction is at the same time
developing in the Latin American
countries, and fair indication of 1t Is
the interest with which they have all
participated in the meetings of the
Sixth International Road Congress in
Washington. The Latin Americans are
beginning to realize that the material
progress of people Is measured by the
miles of railways and highways in ito
territory.
They want to see cross-road and
speed-limit signs substituted for the
old CLOSED during the rainy season"
signs along their highways. And they
want to scratch from their minds the
memory of that primitive little railway
which many years ago was making
trips between two small points of
certain Southern country with a single
car and yet passengers of first and
second class, the difference being that
the latter had to leave the car here
and there and help to push the engine
along.

Ultra Violet Ray Used
In Torch light Fishing

A new feature has been added to age
old torchlight fishing by M. Georges
Gourdon, a scientist He uses ultra
violet rays. Electric lamps immersed
in the water had already been tried to
obtain q stronger light than that of
torches. but the lighted radius remained
very small.
M. Gourdon invented the immersion
OF mercury-vapor lamps, and saw that
the ultra violet rays emanated create a
sort OF phosphorescence, spreading I'M
der the sea in the shape of a milky
sphere visible from q great distance.
That strange marine moon attracts
fishes until they come close to the lamp;
there they avoid the binding glare by
a quick dive and get caught in a deep
sea net fixed in line with the light boat.
