Here, There And Euery1Dhere

doubtless protest against adopting the calendar for which MT East man labored in life and for whose continued advocacy the trustees of the University of Rochester have made provision in recognition of his interest. For the thirteen. month calendar, with which his name has been associated and will continue to be, makes special claim to those virtues which are related to method and punctuality. It is chiefly because of the industrial, commercial and statistical conven- fence of having all months of equal length that this revision comments itself-a very different world from that whose less exacting demands the Julian or Gregorian calendar sought to meet.
 The international conference on calendar reform held . year ago under the auspices of the League of Nations was unable to reach | definite conclusion on the type of reform to recommend for adoption. But on economic and social grounds the opinion seemed strongly to favor the thirteen month perpetual calendar. which in some of the dispatches is re. ferred to as the Eastman calen- dar." It is significant, however. that business is not yet permitted to have it's undisputed sway in this industrialized, commercialixed, me. chanized and even socially stand ardized world. Religious belief Is still a powerful factor. It was from certain religious faiths that the strongest opposition came.
 There was practical agreement as to a fixed Easter, but a "mov- able sabbath" seemed to detract somewhat from the authority and sanctity of the seventh day." World economic conditions are as- signed as the cause of postpone ment, but deeper than this is the religious influence.
 l It is not conceivable, however, that a way cannot be found to re- concile what religion requires for its own nourishment with the req sonable demands of the social and economic order. The fund in Mir Eastman's memory set apart by the University of Rochester should be helpful to that end. His own contribution to the world has found permanent recognition in It's many languages. A thirteen month year may yet recall him in its calendar.

OiI-Burnin1 Autos

To an fnexpert bystander. it has seemed inevitable that sooner or later motor cars would switch from gasoline to oil. thus gaining power and saving fuel money. as water craft have been doing more and more for many years. There is no reason to think that the Diesel principle cannot be adapted to automobile motors and even to airplanes motors. in spite of the size and weight of Diesel motors in, the past. Some notable experiments have been made in this direction. Horsepower per pound of dead featuring. from combination of lighter metals and more scientific design.
 This process may be hastened by labor atory experiment which has been conducted by Captain Frederick A. Pippig. who de- veloped the first super-eharger for aircraft engines during the war. By a newly dis covered principle. the surface tension of molecules of fuel oil is said to be broken down by short waves, the mixture ionized, and complete combustion of the heavy fuel obtained at relatively low compression.
 The ordinary Diesel motor requires pressure of 600 pounds per square inch to ignite the fuel. calling for great structura! strength. If, as the inventor claims. by the new process oil could be burned by motors no heavier than those now operating at high speed on gasoline, something will happen to the motor industry. It would be just too bad for the oil refiners, but would make big hit with the public and might put new life into the automobile game.

vantages.

Fifteen organizations in New York state have allied themselves to prevent eonstruc- ton within forest preserves of recreational facilities. The matter is to be voted upon this fall when New Workers go to the polls. It is contained in the Porter -Brerton amend ment. introduced in the General Assembly several years ago. It has twice passed both houses. but has been vetoed. Governor Roosevelt is, opposed to it and also Conser- vation Commissioner Henry Morgenthau, Jr. If that is the case, we are more than satisfied that the amendment does not de- serve too much consideration from the voters of New York. Say the opponents. Every necessary service which the public requires in the forest preserve is now avail able under the administration of the Con- servation Department and if extensions should be necessary, owing to increased. public demand. further developments could be made under existing laws as interpreted by the highest courts of the state and by the attorney general of the state of New York. =. = It does seem as if New York with it's advanced program of reforestaton and system of state parks and forests would not need to vote on the need of recre- ational facilities in its forest preserves. We are inclined to think that perhaps it would be most .unwise policy to advocate. l. might lead in time to deforestaton of public areas sadly in need of protection.

the need of automobiles stopping directly on the tracks SO that they can break through other traffic lines. The markers will be placed in concrete bases so that they will withstand the abuse that such guides com monly received. The crossing is eompli- cated by the fact that five streets intersect right at it. Along two of them state highway passes. The railroad tracks ap- preach the crossing on sharp grade and also curve. ali of which adds to the dan- gerousness of the spot. It is certainly, a wise move that the city is taking and one to be appreciated by all.

Washington's Teeth

.r When we commented upon Washing tons false teeth some few days ago it was with an apology for taking such freedom : witt, that great patriots person. It was 7 not with the intention of poking fun at ', the Father of Our Country that we com 3mented upon them. either We simply be- 7 lieved that the remarks of Dr Walter J. .sPryor. Cleveland dentist. to the American ' Dental Association, gathered in national @ convention at Buffalo, N. Y. were worth z passing comment. And we still do, al- :. though Rep. Sol Bloom of New York. 7 head of the George Washington Bieentennal ~.Commission is somewhat pained at this il- fusion to General Washington.
 z However, we think that the genial Sors outburst has an ulterior purpose. 1852 IS fast drawing to close. Interest in the : Washington bicentennial is just about at ' minimum right now. What could have suited the commission chairman better than this opportunity to debate the subject of Washington's false teeth. In the first place Sol Bloom doesn't think that Washington ever wore a set of false teeth made by Paul Revere. Of course history records Revere as silversmith among other occupations so he might we'll have turned his hand to pro- ducing set of teeth for General Washing ton. We recall recently somebody's reference to Revere as South Boston thug.
 Dr Pryor among other remarks to his colleagues declared that Washngtons false teeth were a source of much annoyance and pain to him. He had various sets with vary ing results. Some times his mouth was forced agape by failure of the hinge on the plates to function properly. And there was another set so awkward that Washington was advised to soak 1t in port wine each night and thus alleviate the pain somewhat when he replaced them in his mouth the next morning We don't doubt but what the talk was received with considerable at tention by the convened dentists. but not so by Mir Bloom.
 Here is part of his. indignant response ''There is absolutely no reeord of proof of Paul Revere having made set of false teeth for George Washington. Likewise, there is no record of Washington having false teeth at the time of the crossing of the
 Now, we know that when Washington came to New York in l789 to assume the duties of the presidency he consulted John Greenwood. famous dentist of his day. about having set of teeth made. These were made and the false teeth fastened. as Dr Pryor stated. by spring, but it was small size gold-wire spring which could not possibly have had power enough to hold Washington's mouth agape' Gas Dr Pryor said) and to prevent him from closing it.
 'As to advising the General to soak his teeth in port wine. the dentists advice in letter of Dec 28. 1798. was exactly to the contrary. He said that false teeth were black either because of soaking them in port wine or because of drinking port wine.
 ''As for practicing dentistry on his slaves. though Washington wrote volumin- ously and left diaries and record books, there is nothing in these to show that he was even an amateur dentist. ."

Connecteut's state parks and forests are at their best at this time of the year. In fact. Connecticut shows to its best advantage in late September and October. Trees are re- splendent in their changing foliage: lakes and rivers sparkle under clear skies and bright sun. We wonder if many local peo- ple have visited High Rock since the state acquired it as state forest. It has certainly changed in the brief year of ownership. It is now reereational area that can be en- loved by all who have taste for nature at her best.
