 These are some of the advantages that are put forward for the world calendar which will be proposed at the next session of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in resolution by the delegate from India The proposition is not a new and sudden one. t has been urged by the World Calendar Organization for several years and is backed notably by Sir Harold Spencer Jones, astronomer royal of Britain
 In fact, Sir Harold notes that 1856 would be a particularly convenient year to make the change from the present Gregoran calendar, since in that year January will fall on Sunday, controlling feature of the new plan Thereafter, if the revision were accepted the first month of each quarter would have 31 days all other months 30 days and the 365h day be observed world holiday at the end of each year, with another holiday inserted at the middle of leap year.

MORE WOMEN HOLDING OFFICE

The Women's Division of the Republican National Committee recently reported that more women are serving in public office than ever before. Division Director Bertha Adkins says results of recent survey conducted by the committee show that there is an ever-ncreasing recognition of women and their quali fcatons for important places in government"
 The study showed that there will be 12 Congress- women in the second session of the 83rd Congress, six Republicans and five Democrats in the House and Republican in the Senate. The study also showed that there are 289 in the state egsla- lures today whereas the figure was only 29 women in the legislatures in 1920-the first year of womens suffrage in the United States.
 The four states which do not have women law makers are Alabama, Nebraska Oklahoma Virginia.
