Coolidge has been fighting against not only Democratic opposition but against many within his own party to hold the tax down approximately to $225,000,000, believing that any larger cut would result in a deficit. And to the thrifty New England mind a de- figit is about the most abhorrent state of existence this side of the 'infernal regions. The President was outspoken to callers in his denunciation of this at- titude. He had no hesitation in mak- ing his feeling plain despite the close co-operation which has existed he- tween this administration and the powerful business men organizations which has imposing headquarters in monumental building opposite the White House.

Hope for the five unaccounted for had been practically ahandoned.

Is this cherished memory of our early days to go to the scrapheap? It seems a thousand pities; but an astonishingly large number of other- wise perfectly respectable persons seem to have arrived at the conclu- sion that this is. its irrevocable des- tiny. It was 'nevitable that among our own multitudinous reform organiza- tions there should arise a "fixed cal- endar" league, but it is surprising, and not a little disquieting, to learn that calendar reformers are springing up all over Europe, the United Stages, Canada and Australia, e cornerstone of the new time- edifice they are striving to erect is the twenty-eight day month, The first day of every week under this scheme would be Sunday, and every week-day would recur on its four fixed monthly dates. Obviously, under this scheme, by chopping off the twa days from the four months which under our present Gregorian calendar have thirty days, and three from the seven which have thirty-one, we shall have twenty-nine left over and thirty in leap years. The only thing to do with these superfluous days is to make another month of twenty-eight of them, This extra month the reformers propose to sandwich in between our present June and JJuly under the optimistic denomination of "Sol. There remains the difficulty of the odd or twenty-ninth day. That pro- blem is disposed by dropping it in at the end of the thirteenth month, calling it "Year-day" and making it a general holiday. Every 4th year the other extra day would appear be- tween June 28 and So 1, with the title of "Leapday." The scheme would solve the puzzle of Easter, which at present varies between March 22 and April 25, by fixing it definitely for the third Sun- day in April, the fifteenth, which would automatically fix Whit Sunday for June 8, Christmas would fall on the last Sunday in December, the twenty-second, and this and all other holidays would perpetually be joined ' benefit the commerce of the world to the extent of at least £500,000,000 a year, would be a boon Yo labor, save waste, simplify calculations, and con- fer innumerable other blessings on all sections of the community--ex- cept, perhaps, the almanack-makers, who with a system of uniform weeks would be superfluous. DECLARES BRITAIN AND U.S. TO FIGHT Frenchman Predicts Them on Opposite Sides. in Next War London, Nov. 28--The United States will not be on the same side as Great Britain in another European war, Henri de Jouvenel, foreign French delegate to the League of Nations, predicted Friday in a letter read at the international war danger conference. M. de Jouvenel, who re- cently resigned his League post as a protest against the policies pursued at Geneva, was to have addressed the conference, but sent a message which was read instead, The French statesman pointed to the holding up of the recent naval conference and said: "Naval rivalry brings in its train concurrently with the growth of land armaments rivalry of great states which are potential foes." He predicted 1935 as a.crucial year under which the peace structure would hold good, but expressed the hope that by that time the League of Nations would have gained the authority necessary to prevent the recurrence of war, REPORTED IN COUNTY Birch Cliff, Nov. 26.--At a special meeting of the Board of Health in the Council Chambers here last night, Dr. C.
