A NEW YEAR is at hand, bringing
N with it new problems to be
faced, new ideas to be consid-
"fA cred and new opportunities to
1~ be grasped or let slip. Will the
A Anew year see definite steps TAX
~ en- toward the adoption of a new
| W. M calendar, that schedule by which
n.y. T1 mankind arranges his affairs?
~ AZ Over in Geneva, Switzerland,
e9 D an international conference is
SNN being held under the auspices
Of the League of Nations to
wrestle with the perplexing problem Of calendar
reform because 1t is felt that present system
of reckoning the days of the year, with its an
noying irregularities and its shifting days. has
outlived its usefulness and Is hampering human
progress. This conference is participated In by
representatives of both members and non-mem-
bers of the League Of Nations and should the
representatives be able to agree on new cal
endar, the next step will be the signing of a
treaty which will require separate ratification
by the different governments before the treaty
becomes law in each country
1t is the hope of the proponents Of calendar
reform that such a treaty and its ratification be
secured this year that calendar revision may
become effective on January l, 1888, which falls
on Sunday. If this hope is not realized calen-
dar reform probably will be delayed six years,
Tor new year does not start on q sunday again
until 1889.
So far. more than 1S5 proposals for calendar
change have been submitted to the League of
Nations but many of them absurd the
face of them and others are too complicated or
too revolutionary to have much chance for seri-
Gus consideration. From present appearances
the contest between all the different proposals
seems to have simmered down to two plans and
1t is upon the merits of these two that the dele
gates to the conference will pass in making their
decision One is the proposal for an interna-
tional fixed calendar, commonly referred to as
the 13-month plan and the other is the world
calendar a revised 12-month plan.
The 13-month plan is the device of Moses B.
Cotsworth, an Engshman who made calendar
revision subject of his study for many years
During the Coolidge administration a national
committee On calendar simplifcaton was ap-
pointed at the request of the League of Ma
endar reform. This committee, of which George
Eastman, millionaire manufacturer Of Roches-
ter, n. Y, is chairman, made survey and re-
ported that "a large and representative body of
American opnon"-particularly the business in
terests-recognizes the grave defects" Of the
present calendar and demands" a new calen-
dar-preferably one of 13 months although the
committee does not recommend that the Ameri-
can delegates to the League of Nations confer
ence be committed to any one plan.
Mr. Eastman has been the leading proponent
In this country of the 13-month plan which, to
put It briefly. would

FLOGGING
DRAWS FIRE Of
/ EDUCATORS
By DOROTHY DUCAS

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 QN.SO.
The public flogging administered
to three boys in a woodbury., N.
j., courtroom as punishment for
creating a disturbance in mo-
ton picture theater was denounced
today by leading educators as
''harmful to everybody concerned"
The wisest minds of the world
have long abandoned the practice
Of inflicting corporal punishment
for misdeeds, realizing its futility,
but Recorder Frank L. johnson
passed sentence of 10 lashes apiece
on Franklin Reiser, Is; Norman
Redfield, Is, and William Elliott,
IL, it was believed.
Reaction to Anger
Mrs. Sidonie M. Gutenberg, di-
rector of the Child Study Associa-
ton of America, said:
"When an act of this kind
comes from some one of i'm
pOrtance, such as a Judge, it
makes everyone else who has a
temper think there is nothing
better to offer in the way of
Just punishment. Whipping is
the natural reaction of an an
cry person, but one expects
more constructive pronounce
ments from judges as from edu-
Gators"
DR.. Patty, Hill, of Teachers Col
lege, pointed out that while she
did not approve of corporal
punishment, she felt whipping
might be more humane than i'm
prisonment, if there were a
choice between the two sentences.
DR.. Hill said whipping should
be done, if at all, with the con-
sent and in the presence of the
parents of the children. She
added:
"If there is any whipping
needed, I'm perfectly capable
Of doing it myself. as the
mother of nine children"
Has Change of Heart
Recorder johnson, in the
meantime, announced he had had
q change of heart and now is
sorry he passed the sentence on
the boys. He explained:
'Tt worked adversely. In
stead of showing the boys the
error Jf their ways, it made
them heroes in the eyes of the
public"

.BROADCASTING
and There
In the Realm
Of Radio
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Now we know why prooucIlon
managers go ga-ga!
Some of these sponsors CT ra-
dio commercial programs have
'ideaS" cow a broadcast should
be achieved, much to the dismay
of the production man.
A sponsor with absolutely no
idea of showmanship will want
a singer to warble Loves Old
Sweet Song" in a Sp' where
1.-THE Burning of Rome" would
be most appropriate. Then they
wonder Why there is little lis
tener reaction" to the products
they are trying to sell.
Some time ago a sponsor VINO
was spending plenty in broad
casting told the orchestra leader
he had d friend whose son-in-laW
was a baritone. He wanted the
young fellow to sing on the pro-
gram because "the father IS a
great friend of mine"
The ha 'itone was put on the
act end proved ordinary. but he
stayed for five weeks. Then the
sponsor sought the leader.
Kick the baritone OUT" he
ordered.
"Why?" asked the leader, curl
ouS-like.
His father calle" me liar
at bridge last night"
Thus is art served on sponsored
programs-or some of them!

casually to explain their weight differences BY
the variation in the size of their bones" Dr.
Shelton observed
| JOWEVER the difference In weight between
large-boned and small-boned skeletons of
about the same height is actually only few
pounds, while their owners may have differed
In weight by many pounds. The greater part of
this difference in weight in the living persons
must have been made up for by the soft tissues,
fat and muscle and body fluids.
The large-boned person, for example, must
have larger muscles than small-boned person
Likewise his system of blood vessels must be
large enough to supply his big body with blood,
and he must have enough fat and fluids to keep
him healthy and, incidentally, to make him look
as we'll as his smaller-boned brother. All of
these tissues, muscles blood and blood vessels,
fat and fluids, add to his weight
So a method of determining your ideal weight
takes into consideration all these factors and
allows you enough poundage to be adequately
supplied with them in proportion to your bony
framekork.
Mr. Willoughby's weight determination meth
Cd involves the application. of certain funda-
mental geometric relationships which he has
observed in the human body. He compares the
body dmensions-those pertaining to length,
area and volume-to a cylinder.
The length of the cylinder is represented by
the stature or height of your body; the area of
q horizontal ross-section is represented by the
square Of the unit taken to denote the general
thickness Of the skeleton, he explained in de-
scription Of his method appearing in the Re-
search Quarterly of the American Physical
Education Association.
THE body weight-volume Of the cylinder
! should vary as the denoted thickness Of the
skeleton, squared, multiplied by the stature or
height
mo single measure Of skeletal breadth or
thickness can be assumed in the individual as
an index of general thickness of bony frame
work." he pointed out.
He, therefore, takes six measures representing

not the same for men as for
women. For instance, supposing
the ankle measurement were the

to take an unusual case, but an
easy one to figure-the proper pro-
portions would be as follows:
For women-Knee girth, 1895
inches; wrist girth, 7.403 inches;
breadth of hips, 1911 inches;
breadth of pelvis, 13.41 inches;
breadth of shoulders, 1891 inches.
For men - Knee girth, 1916
inches; wrist girth, sos inches;
breadth of hips, 14.67 inches;
breadth of pelvis, 1858 inches;
breadth of shoulders, 1928 inches.
