Surb n calen dar would make quarterly payments and .other, established business customs diftl .cult, Doctor Heriiic says. Ho Is not eager to have either pro position taken too seriously by this , 0 generntion. ' "Nothing will be done." he said to day, "I merely advance these idea" to 'how the possibility of changing the abominable calendar we now have." He was asked how be would name the ten days of the week in hi- plan, and ,h6 said such matters were mere de tails. Annther suirretion he has is that there be twelve months of twenty -eight business days with two days nf legal holidays at the end of eaeh month with a full week of rest at the end of each year. "Why not change the length of the day?" he was asked. "That would be impossible." he re plied. "The day is based on the length of time it takes for the sun to rotate on its axis and if the day were ar bitrarily made any longer or shorter, we would some day be working at mid night and sleeping in the day time. Only a change in the solar system could make the daj any different and of course that would be a calamity." Under his plan he said there would be not much difference in business con ditions except to add to the conveni ence of life. With the present half holiday Saturday the world works five and a half dayH and then rests a day and n half. His system would reduce this to a half day in five or one day in ten instead of three in fourteen as is the custom now. "Hut none of us will ylVe to vp- it," he laughed, "so we won't worry tibutit the details."
