filed recently by John E. Smalling,
World War veteran, against Smith.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon and
the disbursing ofiicer Of the bureau to

that Smith had not received any In
jury emitting him to disability COM
pensation.
Through Attorneys John Lewis Smith
and John Paul Jones, the chief counsel
Of the bureau asserted the court !;
without jurisdiction to entertain the
suit, which fails to state q cause Of
action and In which the petitioner, al
mere citizen. has no legal or equitable

suit.
The court has no authority, the de-
PENDANT claims, to review his rating b

February Is Perfect In The
Calendar

A rare phenomenon. perfect month
in the calendar year, is offered in 1881
through the month of February. which
begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
This is the ideal month of those who
advocate adoption of a fixed and uniform
calendar, a twenty-eight-day month con-
sisting of four weeks beginning with the
first day of the week and ending with
the final day of the week. Such a
month will not present itself again until
1912. under the present calendar system.
The proposed thirteen month fixed
calendar would make every month thai
way by shortening the other months tc
exactly foar weeks each, and combining
the surplus days, except one. into new
month of four weeks.
Each of the thirteen months would be
made to begin on Sunday by starting
the year on Sunday and ending it with
Year Day." the one day in each year
in excess of fifty-two weeks which is not
absorbed by the extra month.
The added day in leap year is like
wise given the new name of Leap
Day." In this way the calendar would
becoms fixed as well as uniform.

Celebration Nation Wide

There seems to be an impression
in the minds Of many people that the
George Warrington Bicentennial
Celebration is to be held only in
Washington, D. c. The impression
is entirely erroneous.
The celebration marking the Two
Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth
of George Washington is to be ma
tion-wide in scope. Every state,
city and town is to participate.
Every locality is to honor the Father
of His Country in its own way.
Representive Sol Bloom, Associ-
ate Director of the George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission, ex-
pressed;the idea accurately when he
said:
"The George Washington Bicen-
tennial Celebration is to be different
from any celebration ever held in
America. We are planning no world
fair; we are planning no national ex-
position. Instead of bringing the
people to the celebration we are tax :
ing the celebration to the people. "

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION
Cleaning Woods Roads Advo-
Gated BY Forestry Dept.

The removal of brush and other
inflammable material from woods
roads was suggested as an important
measure whereby woodland owners
can obtain better forest fire protec-
ton in recent statement by District
Forester, Kenneth j. Seigworth,
Salisbury.
According to the statement, 'the
past season of an unprecedented
number of forest flies has shown
that individual owners must assume
more of the responsibility for protec-
ton. Inaccessibility of the wooded
areas, loss of time in reaching the
fires, and the necessity for cutting
fire lines was often responsible for
the spread of large fires. Woodland
owners generally are interested in
securing maximum revenue from
their woods and in protecting them
from fire. During the winter
months is the season when it is GUS
tomary to work in the woods. Prac-
tlcally every piece of woodland on
the Eastern Shore is crossed by at
least one road. These Roads, if kept
passable make any part of the forest
readily accessible. If kept clean
they retard the spread of fires and
serve as excellent vantage points
from which fire fighting can be
started. One man with a bush axe
and rake can clean up large section
of road in a day. Part of the mater
ial cut can be used for fuelwood.
The pine straw and leaves can be
used for bedding or as soil mulch. "
''The State Department of Fores-
try, continued the statement, will be
glad to assist the owner in laying out
fire lines and will advise regarding
other protection and improvement
measures.
The federal aid which a state re-
ceives under the Clarke-McNary
law is based on what the state and
private agencies spend in fire pro-
lection activities. Individuals who
spend money in protection work
should keep an itemized account and
submit it to the Department of For.
estry so that all possible federal aid
may be secured.

On SJandary 5, the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting in
New York, in a unanimous ruling al
firmed the conviction OF Louis E..
Thibault of Windsor, Vermont, who
had been accused of possessing
and selling two pints of whisky. The
defnse lawyer in the case had assisted
in presenting the case OF William
Sprague before Judge William Clark,
who recently held that the Eighteen
tn Amendment was illegally adopted.
His opionion was thus reversed by
the Appellate Court. The opinion OF
court, written by Judge Manton, de-
clared that the Supreme Court had
already decided that "the Admend-
ment had been lawfully proposed
and ratified and had become a part
of the Constitution and must be re-
spected and given effect the same as
the other provisions of that instru-
ment."

Rural Populations Increase

OF six states out of 48 which show
ed an increased rural population in
1880, as compared with 1920, three

ton dropped from 94.8 to 90.2, while

and Maryland, were in the South At
lantic section, and one, Arizona, in
the mountain section. The Delaware
Nrban decline was from 54.2 to 51.7,

In the December Vanity Fair. Jay
Franklin does a splendid bit of work
in Analysing the theories advanced
on so-called issues in the last cleo
ton.
There was, Mr.. Franklin says,
only one real issue before the Amerl-
can people when they came to the
polls in November, the economic
situation. The upheaval, he contin-
ues, was due to popular resentment
against the politicians who failed to
cure the actual causes of that resent
ment. "The Four Horsemen OF the
Economic Apocalypse: hunger, cold,
unemployment and fear OF the
future
