revision of the calendar have been ofereo' until
the World Calendar was presented only one

DIR. Ismael Gajardo Reyes, chairman of the

made a tour of Ia American countries for
two purposes: First to learn the official opinion
of the leading South American governments
second to ascertain definitely the OPINION OF the
Roman Catholic church.
Dr. Reyes states: ION the latter point was
able to reach certain clear conclusions. one OF
these was that the Roman Cathohc clergy IN
South America is not only informed ana inter-
ested but distinctly favorable to the adoption
of new calendar. All the priests with whom
discussed the matter, in various parts OF South
America were in favor of reforming the cal
endar on the basis of the plan proposed py the
World Calendar Association.
Under the forceful leadership of Bishop Man

The things that people live by are work, play
/ and our 354-year-old calendar. Most people
go to work on Monday morning, work until
Saturday noon, then speed somewhere for the
weekly playtime. If Friday happens to be
holiday as was December 25, 1886, there is re-
ioicing as it means longer holiday but when
holiday dates vary, they play havoc in business
and in school work
Business firms, schools and colleges are beset
by difficulties in making their annual calendar
with due allowance for holidays The defects
of our present calendar are-that it is incon-
venient irregular and costly A given years
calendar is duplicated only at rare intervals.
Every year is different and no one can tell ex-
cept by reference to future and often unavall-
able calendars, or by laborious reckoning on
what day of the week future date will fall
COMPUTATION of future dates is made more difh-
cult by lack of uniformity and orderly rotation
in the length of the months. One month has
% or 2e days four months have 30 days seven
have 81, This results in varying quarters OF the
year. -.
Our calendar defects are accepted without
much thought because the calendar has come
TO lis hallowed by custom and hoary with age
We still regulate our work, play and lives
nv the Gregorian calendar which had its 354th
birthday October Is 1886. 1t was in 1882 Pope
Gregory decided to revise the Julian calendar
and sought the advice of astronomers. 10 prlng
II I'D to date he decreed that the day a1ter
october 4, 1882, should be october 10 instead
of October 9Th.
-HIs Gregorian calendar has served people
/ for three and half centuries but II is not
practical for us to regulate our days and doings
bv so ancient calendar. This is an age of split
seconds-when speed counts even to the half
second Can anything be done about it?
A great deal can be done to stabilize our cal
endar. Astronomers and students the world
over have given thought to this important mat
ter and modern calendar has been evolved
balanced in structure perpetual in form. The
ecua1 srters consist of three months. The first
Month has 81 days the remaining two have 30
aoys These quarters contain 13 weeks or 81
davs of which 13 days Sundays and 1o
are weekdays Each month has 26 weekdays
The better to understand the need of a mod
ern calendar consider just few facts OF cal
endar history. The Egyptians had sacred cal
endar in which every day, almost every nour,
had it's special religious ceremony. Thls was
especially true in regard to the last hVe Gays
in the wear and the occasional extra leap day
which priests automatically inserted IN the cal
endar in order to keep it true with the seasona
occurrences The Egyptians, as far back al
a241 3 c. had adopted 12-month solar calen
dar the months having exactly 30 days, but al

DR.. BOWMAN SCORES
LAW BY PROPAGANDA
Johns Hopkins President Says
Scholars Should Have Right to
Think, Discover, Report.

BY the Associated FEeSS.
BALTIMORE, February 22-Dr.
Isaiah Bowman, president of the
Johns Hopkins University, today de-
Tended the right of scholars ''to think,
to discover and to report" without
Government interference.
He decried the displacement of
scholarship by propaganda in some
countries It was DR.. Bowman's first
official presidential address and 1t
marked the elimination of the cele-
bration of the sixtieth anniversary of
the founding OF the university.
When Government tries to do our
thinking for us, not only are our lib
critics lost, but our thinking ceases"
he asserted. Politics has never trained
q creative writer or great physician
or a painter or an engineer.
Observing these things in their
historical connections as we'll as in the
contemporary world. we inevitably
conclude that freedom to think, to
discover and to report is more i'm
portant than either Government or
society itself, for 1t was out OF that
freedom or its winning that there
came ultimately the builders OF our
civilization, these United States, and
the house of freedom we now lnnablt.

ULSTER GAZETTE
FAKES NUMEROUS
If You Have a Copy, Don't
Think It's VaIuabIe-0ne
Genuine Known.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February eff you
have a copy of the Ulster County
Gazette in your home don't give 1t
a second thought.
It's a million to one that it's
phony.
The Ulster County Gazette, as you
may or may not know, is that weekly
newspaper, dated January 4, 1900. and
telling. among other things, of the
death and burial of George Washing
ton.
AT least 100000 copies of this
famous fake, or reprint, or hoax, or
whatever you may want to call it, are
scattered about the country. And
every year hundreds are dug out of
attic trunks and family Bibles and
submitted to libraries and to rare
book dealers as veritable first editions.
One Genuine Copy.
The incredible fact about the
Gazette is that after reprints had
turned up for years and years finally
one day a genuine copy was found.
Just one.
1t now is in the Library of Congress.
It was discovered at time when some
bibliophiles were beginning to be-
lieve that no such thing existed.
How did the one authentic copy
come to light?
There had been rumors over
period of years that it was in existence.
This was logical, as earlier and later
issues of the same newspaper were
known and it seemed unreasonable
that one lone printing had been faxed.
Lead Is Followed Up.
In fact, the most plausible story
was that tcld some years ago to a
member of the American Antiquarian
Society by Hudson Valley New York
er that he was the owner of three
original copies of the Gazette for
December %, 1899; January 4 and II.
1900, but that he had lent them and
had lost track of them.
A few years later the Library OF
Congress received an inquiry con-
corning the same three issues and,
following up the lead, obtained the
veritable copies from the descendant
of a Revolutionary soldier who had
lived in Ulster County.
While the January issue is men,
orable because of the numerous re-
prints, the other two numbers are
equally as interesting. AS matter of
fact, the December % copy also con-
tains an announcement of Washing
tons death, in addition to extracts
from two letters from Alexandria, Va,
dated December Is, the day after. Civ
ing details of Washington's last hours
and plans for his funeral.

The play will be presented In seven
elaborate scenes. The proceeds will go
to the Navy Relief Association.
The two Saturday performances will
be primarily for midshipmen. The
Friday, March 6, performance will be
for officers, but Capt. Smith announces
departure from custom, in that the
Friday, March 10, performance will be
for civilians in Annapolis. They will
be given a preference of seats that
night.
This move constitutes an effort to
show the Nays appreciation of the
support of our many friends in An
napolis," Capt. Smith said.
