Thirteenth street.
Doctor IlerinR mlvnnln this Men In
i opposition to one proposed in a bill in
troduced In Concross rstnbllslilnR a
' j year of thirteen months with each month
' ' containing four weeks. 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."

as Harold Bauer plays. It will play
the very selection that Bauer plays.
It is as truly Bauer that you hear as
when you actually hear Bauer at a
concert. You do hear Bauer.
