By the new arrangenient the year will have 364 days and -!exactly 52 weeks. There will be~ two months of 30 and one o.f 31 ,days in each quarter`. The greatest innovation is to he the Nameless ' Day, which will fall between the last day of December and the first: of January, `and will belong to neither the old nor the new year. Business on that day -will come `to a. complete standstill, as merchants will not be able to enter the day in their books, fbecause it is not in- cluded in the calendar. will a1:wa.ys come on Monday and Easter always on Anpnil 14th. The able for the vintroductiion of the new calendar. because under the present C1'Ll`iSlJn13.S . or Gregorian system, it begins on a 2 Monday. The existence of different systems throughout the world of computing dates has provided mazny obstacles to human progress and national unity, and the effort of the gathering will be an attempt to standardize and x the calendar dlor year 1923 is said to be ideally suit- all time to come.

British revenue during the rst seven months of the present scal year amounted to $568,968,277. which equals 45.8 per cent. of the estimated yield for the entire year. However, the nal period of the ;year is Lhe one in which heaviest] D,\':lll`I1l.S of revenue are received. In the f1rsi.se\'en months of the -last scal year revenues received ` iwere only `slightly above one-hall` of 't.he total estiinrated yield, but the iiinal quarter's payments brought the ltolal up to 7,000,000 in excess 01' the e'sLima.1es. ' A reduction of approximately 50,000,000 nin the total British debt between Dec. 1, 1921, and March 31, 1922, when the scal year ends, is`possi`b1e if the latest estimates of revenue and expenditures are real-I ized. The London Joint City and Mlidland Bank estimates that 26,- 'ooo,ooo of debt may be paid off out of surplus revenue in the final period of the scal year and the ! other payments up to the full 50, 000,000 would represent 1'ede:mp- (ions through the operation of the }sin`k.1'ng fund. ; Y\_.2Af-1. _.-,_.._,, s - -- - .......v 9-vs-\4 Auuunuuu nun...
