Calendar Reform, May Bring World Fame to Chinese


 TIENTSIN, China, Oct. 14-If his calendar reform plan is accept ed by the League of Nations. world wide fame may be the lot of Jos eph Polyen Hsue, 66 year old sage of this city.
 Recently the Leagues commis- sion on calendar reform went through more than 200 proposals submitted by chronologists from every quarter of the globe. The projects were sifted down to two, one of which is Hsue's.
 His plan proposes months of 28 days each with an extra day at the end of each year and two extra days at the end of each leap year. Under this scheme the first day of each month would always be a Monday.
 Hsue once invented clock which showed, besides the hours and min- utes, the day of the week. the day of the month, the full moon and the new month In both the lunar and Roman calendars.

ALFALFA BILL"

Governor of Oklahoma Proposes Scheme with
 Many Features
By SHERMAN J. M'NALLY

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 14.-Faced with a perplexing unemployment relief problem in it's cities but bol- stered by stores of food on it's farms, the southwest is moving to meet the challenge of the coming winter.
 Semi-official leader in the com bat against unemployment is Gov. w. H. (Alfalfa BilD Murray of Oklahoma.
 Calling two unemployment con- ferences, the first at Memphis and the second at St. Louis, Gov. Mur- ray has worked out his own plan for relief without the dole.
 It includes a moratorium on all public debts as means of low ering the cost of living.
 Other features of the plan are:
 Appointment by governors of county representatives to stimulate employment through public build ing programs and appeals to in- dustry. ltj
 Appropriation by Congress of funds for internal water works im- provements.
 Speeding up of work on $4,000, 900 worth of public works already au- thorized.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. l4.-Dlxie' 2 biggest unemployment problem this winter will be the white collar worker
 Professional men and those &C., customed to cleric al or similar work-too proud to beg and who do not want charity-are the ones relief workers say will be hardest hit.
 This is particularly true of New Orleans, Atlanta and Nashville.
 There is little worry over the souths rural population. 'Live-at- home" movements in practically every state have resulted in full crops of foodstuffs that have been canned, preserved and stored for winter use.
 Atlanta Prepared
 Atlanta faces the task of provid- ing work for between 5000 and 10000 heads of families or raising funds to feed them.
 Frank Miller, director of the At lanta community chest, said the hardest task Is providing for the white collar man whose children must be kept in school and for whom it is difficult to obtain reg ular employment.
 All relief agencies are co-operat- ing. A plan expected to bring good results is that of the Penny club. ? which requires members to con tribute one cent for each meal for five months to aid the idle.
 Food Preserved in Louisiana
 New Orleans and Shreveport probably are the only Louisiana cit- ies where relief work will be ne- cessary. Louisiana farmers have stocked their cellars with food and fruit.
