A NEW CALENDAR

1t is universally conceded that our
present calendar, with months ranging
from % to 81 days in length, presents GER
tain disadvantages because of that lack of
uniformity. Many plans have been sug-
gested for reaTanging the days of the
year, so as to equalize the length of the
months.
The late George Eastman devoted con-
siderable time and money to an effort to
secure adoption of calendar with Is
months of % days each, making the extra
day an additional holiday. In leap years
his plan each date in every month would
fall on the same day of the week. The
extra holidays would not be considered as
belonging to any month.
This arrangement would have many
advantages for accounting and statistical
purposes, but would present difficulties in
other respects. A 13-month year could not
be easily divided into quarterly and half
yearly periods, and it would also require
a wholesale Encouragement of birthdays
ana OIHef anniversaries.
Another proposal is now being put
forward by calendar reform associations in
New York and London, which would retain
the present 12-month year, but give 81
days to the first month of each quarter
and 30 days to each of the other two. Thus
January, April, July and October would
have 81 days, while all the other months
would have 80. The extra days would be
disposed of as holidays, as under the East
man plan.
There is some valid argument for each
of these plans, but it is doubtful that either
will gain acceptance within the lifetime of
anyone now on earth. 1t took many hun
dreds of years to establish our present
calendar. even among the so-called civilized
nations.

SLOT MACHINES
Pensacola News)
nations.

Sheriff Gandy's pronouncement regarding
slot machines. held by some to be innocent amuse
ment devices and by others to be vicious gambling
apparatus. brings up controversy that may be
some time in settlement
The City OF Pensacola has legazed the ma
chimes By granting them license at 500 each.
Governor Dave Sholtz says that there is ample law
for their suppression. Sheriff Candy, in his an
nouncement this morning. definitely labels them
as gambling devices" The late Judge Sheppard
in United States court granted an injunction re-
straining county officials from interfering with
their operation on the grounds that they had not
been proven gambling devices.
AS Sheriff Candy is answerable to Governor
Shotz in the performance Of his duty as peace Of
ficer Of Escar1bia county, it appears up to him to
obey orders OF the chief executive Uncle Sam
says however, that it must be proven that the par
ticular machine in question is a gambling device.
This is a difficult matter.
Owners OF the machines maintain that they
are amusement devices. They say that men, wo-
and children who play them drop in their
nickels to see how many brass checks with holes in
them and OF value whatsoever, they can get out.
These checks are then put back into the machine
IN an effort to get more checks until the machine
finally. gets them all back This is an inyariable
rule if the player stays with it long enough.
Pulling the lever which operates the machine
is a moderate form Of exercise said to build up
tn muscles of the right arm. The left may
be used with slight inconvenience. The machines
also furnish eye exercise when the operator watches
the spindes to see II a winning combination comes
up. Most Of the machines are SO located that they
must be played standing up, thus affording the
operator ample opportunity to exercise his feet.
However, Il the public demands it, it is quite
likely that the machines could be adjusted that
they could be operated in a sitting or prone posi-
tion
The controversy over the status of the ma
chimes appears to be equally divided-the governor
and the sheriff on one side and the federal court
and the city on the other 1t will be interesting
70 watch developments.

JOE JACKSON MAKES GOOD
 SHOWING ON THIBERT CREEK

F. A Richardson arrived here Friday night on the Hazel B No. 2 from Thibert Creek where he went few weeks ago to look over Joe Jacksons placer properties.
 He took passage that evening for Seattle to report his findings to group of men who are willing to back Jackson in developing the ground, If they find the property warrants the needed expenditure of money to bring it into production.
 Richardson stated that the prop erty far exceeded his expectations. It is a hydraulic proposition, easily worked. Jackson has 34 open cuts on his three claims, has sunk sev- eral shafts and drilled claim num- Der one. The gold content of 50 pans was so high that Richardson hesi- tated making the figures public.
 He believes that Jackson will be able to get all the backing he needs and that next year will find the Three claims in production.

ALASKAFLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHICWORK
 SAVES YEARSOFTINE OVER OLD WAYS

Captain George W. Goddard, one of the leading photographers of the U. s. Army Air Corps, who was among the personnel of the off cers of the ten Martin bombers which during the past month flew from Washington, D. c to Fair banks, Alaska, on a photographic mission was aboard the Aleutian Wednesday,
 Before he left the interior. the Fairbanks News-Miner reported the following discussion of aerial photography by Captain Goddard:
 When the World War broke out in 1914 nothing was known of aerial photography. The airplanes at that time were in their early development stage and no thought was given to taking photographs Ordinary commercial type cameras were used in the early days and since then special types have been developed. It was thought also that pictures could not be taken from a fast moving object like an al.- plane.
 Shortly after the start of the World War a German aviator took some photographs of the French lines. The Germans found that from the photographs they had perfect map of the enemy lines. After this discovery aerial pho tography became of great import ance to all armies engaged ir the conflict.
 Development of cameras and lens has taken great strides since the World War and aerial photog- raphy has played q principal part in military and commercial work in mapping all over the world In unexplored countries and jungles photographs are made from the air, when it would be absolutely impossible to map the areas on the ground.
 Two Kinds of Film a
 There are two kinds of film The film for the single lens is 75 feet in length and is g inches wide. Film used in five lens camera is 120 feet long and inches wide. Five rolls are used in each five lens camera.
 Special development equipment and formulae are used to develop the pictures. A portable tent lab oratory, darkroom and lighting sets are being given test in Fair. banks
