UP AND DOWN PARISH STREET

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHTa Getting around Ito my
favorite Saturday Night Spots, I
ran into a number Of young profess
sors who stopped to engage me in
one Of those conversations that one
finally gets around to in the more
intelligent groups and places. One
Of the subjects that came UP for
attention perusal and considera
ton was that of RUMOR MON
GERS and certain types of people
whose regular appellation / don't
care to use here, but. who. every
body Of average intelligence who
study their activities know are de-
ing a lot of harm everywhere they
go along. especially to the cause
Of race relations and Negro conf
munity betterment. Talking about
RUMOR MONGERS. one Of the
worse that | have heard about with
reference to the subject Of race
relations is the one that got out
about the meeting to discuss the
means of bringing about a better
relationship between the races in
Jackson, and to ease the existing
tension, which was held UP at Far
lSh Stree Church the other night.
Well Sir, according TO a most re-
liable informant, certain folks have
heen called into question about
that meeting because somebody
told it that the Negroes had a meet
ING up at the Parish Street Church
and there was a Big Negro coming
from up north to deliver a speech
al the meeting. but, the reason he
didn't get here, he goG left IN Vlcks
burg and couldn't make the APP
pointment. That fellow who started
that rumor, or told them felix's
that yarn needs watching more
than anv bic Negro from up north,
and anything or anybody else. He's
one of them human beings that
names don't fit. who sets out 30

pocket. Trying to FOOL the White
Folks and the Negroes at the same
time. The kind that better race
relations anywhere viii have a
hard time until thay have been
caught up with and exposed by
White people and Negroes every
where they attempt to operate their
nefarious schemes.

First Choice in the Service

If you've ever noticed the top Of
q Marine Officers visor cap,
you've seen on it something you
won't find on any other cap worn
in Uncle Sans service-a neat
''X'' of Hoped braid.
There's a story back of that
braided "X', and it goes back
more than $50 years, to a time
shortly after the U. S. Marines
were first organized.
In those days of sailing ships,
naval battles often ended in close
hand-to-hand fighting, as the crew
of one ship tried to board the 9TH
Grand Marines, of course, were
in the thick of the fight. Some were
in the boarding party, and some
were posted in the rigging to fire
down on the enemy. 1t was be-
cause of those men firing from
high On the masts that Marine Of
ficers-whose uniforms from above
resembled the enemy's - fixed
"XS" ON their hats.
In other words, that braid meant
to the Marines in the rigging, "X
marks the spot-not to shoot att"
Since those days, the "X' on the
cap has become standard part
of the Marines uniform. Another
piece of STANDARD equipment"
you'll notice among Marines these
days-whether they're wearing
dress uniform or combat dunga-
rees-is the American cigarettes
they carry with them wherever
they 60. In all those news pictures
you've seen of Uncle Sans fight
ing men, snapped as they are re-
Taxing while "off duty" you'll find
that in most cases they will be
smoking a cigarette. And what
brand do they prefer? Well, actual
sales records show that the favo-
rite with men in the Marines-as
in the Navy-is Camel. Likewise,
according to the sales records,
Camels are first choice with men
in the Army.
Fighting men who have come
back from jungles, deserts, and
Observation-Disclosures Uncle Sans
forces are stationed - give one
pretty good reason for this choice.
They say that Camels stay fresh
that out in the jungles of Guadal-
canal, for instance, the Camels
they get are actually just as fresh
tasting and full-favored as the
ones they used to get back home.
OF course, the millions of men
in training camps here at home
want their cigarettes just as much
as soldiers. Your dealer now has
Camels in special Christmas car
tons, gay and colorful-and he
will be glad to wrap them for you
for mailing.-Adv.

Beyond Emily Post

Here is a complaint about eti-
quette that should interest every
parent: ~
'The children now Id luxury,
they have bad manners, contempt
for authority, they show disrespect
for elders, and love chatter in
place of exercise. Children are
now tyrants, not the servants of
their households. They no longer
rise when elders enter the room.
They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble up
dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and tyrannize over their
teachers"
The Greek philosopher Socrates
registered the complaint over
1000 years ago. We parents might
as well resign ourselves.

An Inca calendar, made Of ham,
mered gold, found in Peru. The SYM
bols around the rim are supposed to
represent the months. Many ancient
peoples devised fairly satisfactory
calendars, often having the year di-
vided into IL 30-day periods. The
five days left at the end Of the year
were special days, sometimes feasts,
sometimes unlucky or evil days.
possible, would be celebrated on
Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
Holidays, at least in the United
States, would fit into the week-ends
rather conveniently. Christmas, the
25th of December, would always be
on Monday, giving most working
people a 2k or three-day holi-
day. The new holiday, "Year-End
day." being an extra Saturday on
the end of December, would length
en- the New Years weekend, for
New Years day would be Sunday
always. Labor day would fall on
Monday, September 4, every year,
providing nice long weekend. The
disruption of holidays in the middle
of the week would be done away
with.
Thanksgiving day could be moved
to Monday, November 20, if it were
thought necessary, or Monday the
9th. Washington's birthday could
be celebrated on Saturday, the 18th
of February, the original date be-
fore the adjustment of 1852, which
brought it to the 22nd. So various
other holidays, observed in different
sections and states, could be moved
to the nearest Monday, Saturday, or
Sunday.
Churches in Favor.
Church councils and synods have
gone on record as favorable to the
World Calendar, as well as a fixed
date for Easter. Between 1881 and
1886 the Episcopal church, the Pres
byterian, the United Lutheran, and
the Methodist Episcopal of the
South, to name a few, have all
passed resolutions endorsing calen-
dar reform, and a fixed Easter. The
Roman Catholic church, while max
ing no formal declaration of approx
al, has stated that no dogmatic diff
fculties exist. Eighteen Catholic
bishops and archbishops, throughout
the world, are members of the World
Calendar association. The Eastern
Orthodox church, through the Pa

Roman Emperors Gave Us
Our Present Calendar

Our present calendar was arranged
largely by julius Caesar and his nephew,
Caesar Augustus. When julius returned
from his Egyptian campaign in 46 b. c.,
he brought with him Sosigenes, famed
astronomer, to correct the Roman calen-
dar. This sage established the length Of
the year at 1854 days, divided into IL
months. The unevenly numbered first,
third, etc., had 81 days each, and the
even months 30 days, except February,
which had - days, regularly, and 80 only

throw the World Calendar out of
joint, as the extra day is fitted in as
a numberless or ''intercalary" day
like Year-End day. Leap-Year day
is an extra Saturday too.
Next in importance, probably, is
the fact that every quarter of ev-
cry year would contain the same
number of days, 81, making calcu-
lations of interest, rent, compare
tive production, and so forth, much
easier. Each month would have 26
week days, so direct comparisons
of months as equal working periods
would be possible. Thirty day
months would have four Sundays,
31-day months five Sundays, so the
extra day would not be working
day anyhow. Holidays, insofar as

tional Date line, out in the
Pacific. 1t would not be hard
to get accustomed to the
change. It is only about 60
years since the Standard
time system was adopted.
The difficulties as well as the
advantages of Standard time
are now taken for granted.
Right now we are living I'M
der a temporary disturbance
of this system, called War
Saving Time, which incon-
veniences many, despite it's
benefits. The "Year End
day" would fit in much east
er than it seems at first
glance.
Advantages of the World
Calendar are several. First,
the calendar is "perpetual";
that is, any particular date in
any year would always fall
on the same day. Thus, for
instance, May 81 would al
ways fall on Tuesday, no
matter what the year. It
would be Tuesday in 1850,
1876, 1919 or any other year.
Fourth of July would always
be Wednesday; Christmas
day always Monday. April
Fools day always would fall
on Sunday. This is what is
meant by a "perpetual' cal
endar.

Any Date Always
Falls on Same Day
Of Week, Every Year
BY ELLIOTT PINE
released by Western Newspaper Union.


New Years day falls on Sat-
urday this year. If it hadn't
been for Hitler and the ambi-
tons of Japan, New Years day
might be Sunday this year, and
next year; in fact it would be
Sunday every year.
Back in 1881 the League of Ma
tons began to talk about calendar
reform. During the next four years
there was much talk, but at last
two plans emerged from the weller.
One was the l3-month year, and the
other the World Calendar. In the
World Calendar, New Years day is
always on Sunday. If it were not
for the war, the League would still
be functioning, and the World Cal
endar might be in use by now. So
Hitler is responsible for wrecking,
or at least sidetracking, calendar
reform.
But the calendar can wait. Time
goes on, and better way of meas
uring it can be adopted at some
future time. Of the two schemes,
the World Calendar seems to be the
more favored as it does not break
violently with custom and tradition,
as the 13-month calendar does.
Principal advantages of the World
Calendar are: first, it is perpetual;
that is, any date in any year is al
ways the same day of the week.
Second, every quarter is the same
in length and arrangement. Third,
the months are almost the same
length; eight have 80 days and four
81 days. Every month has 26 week
days.
How 1t Works.
The World Calendar is based on
the idea of equal quarters. Each
three month period contains the
same number of days: 81. The first
month of each quarter has 81 days;
the other two, 80. So January, April,
July and October are 31-day months !;
the other eight each have 80 days.
To accomplish this Encouragement
1t is necessary only to change seven
days in the familiar pattern. The
first is in February. That peculiar
month gets two additional days.
These two days are the 31st of
May and Of August, which are TAX
en- off these two months, leaving
them each an even 80 days. Then
the 31st of March is sliced off and
put onto April. Lastly, December
81 becomes "Year-End day." which
has no number on the new calendar.
This "Year-End day" is the really
brilliant feature of the World Cal
endar. The 365th day is the one
that throws every attempt to formu-
late an evenly Invisible year into
chaos. By calling the last day of
the year "Year-End day" and max
ing it an extra Saturday, the prob
lem is pretty well solved.
One other difficulty, the additional
day of leap years, as 1914 is, must
be taken care of some way. This is
done by adding day to June. In
leap years the last week of June
would have two Saturdays.
This "Year End day" seems
somewhat fantastic, the first time it
is thought about, but it is no more
difficult in principle than turning
back or advancing your watch an
hour when you cross one of the
time belts, or picking up or los
ing a whole day at the Interna-

The governor has until March 10

During the busy week following
