Promoters of ‘Yearal’
Calendar Figure on Its
Adoption in Year 1928
» alendar reform seems to have passed
he htage at which the only demonstra
tions it evokes are those of contemptu -
ous hilarity and derisive glee. The
originators and promoters of the
' yearal” calendar are figuring on its
universal adoption by civili.^d nations
.n 1S28. Leading scientific societies
the world over have already given un
qualified approval to the proposal,
while among the first staunch supjwrt
ers of the yearal were such well known
public men as Camille Flammarion. the
French astronomer; Lord Avebury, Kir
Norman Lockyer, Sir Oliver Lodge,
Cardinal Stoner of Home, President
ladley of Yale, and scores of bankers
and business men in Europe and Atner
ca.
The yearal calendar divides the year
nto i:; months of 28 davs each, with
each name day always falling on the
•same date. With 13 months in the
year every week will begin with a Sen
day and every month will end with a
Saturday. Every Saturday will be a
1th, 14th, 2/st or 28th; every Sunday a
st, 8th, 15th or,22#tf»nd so on with the
: other davs forever. Holidays will al
ways fall on the same definite days.
Christman will always be on a Satur
day. All church festivals, including
Easter, and national holidays will be
definitely allotted to a certain day.
Every month will have four .Saturdays,
hence four paydays. The advantage
of this will at once be apparent to busi
ness men and workers alike, for it will
•/reatlv tend to simplify both bookkeep
ng and expenditures
The extra month, which will be
called “Sol” in honor of the sun, will
>e inserted between June and July. As
13 months of 28 days each total only 304
days, and the year, scientifically speak
ng, is 385f days long, provision is made
'or the extra day by inserting it be
tween the last day of the old year and
the first day of the new. This day
would not have a name day, but would
be designated simply as “New Year’s
day,” and would be indicated on the
model calendar by a star. It would be
a general holiday, and in legal circles
a “dies non.” Similarly, every fourth
year an extra day would be inserted at
midsummer, to be known as “Leap
clay.” This also would be an extra
holiday, without a day name, this
being the only way in which dislocation
of t/he perfect calendar can be avoided.
As scientific men and learned bodies
havo been familiar with the “yearal”

proposals for several years and have
heartily approved of the idea, its pro
moters think there will be no great
difficulty in convincing the ordinary
individual of the advantages which
will accrue with a thirteenth month, j
but they mav be reckoning without
their host. To the popular mind the
days of the year as they are lixed by
the almanac now in use are something
as unchangeable as iho laws of nature,
and anv effort to rearrange and classify
them on a new basis is little less than
sacrilege. Still, the world do move.—

This Bill Would Send Cheek
to-Jowl Dancers to lockup
Albany, N. y.—Jail sentences for all
kinds of cheek to-jowl dancing are pro
vided in a bill being drafted for intro
duction in the State legislature at the
instance of William Sheaf Chase, of
Brooklyn. Those who have read the
tentative draft assert it is one of the
most remarkably worded attempts to
regulate, through statute, the conduct
of the individual.
Among other things the proposed
law delines the manner in which a gen
tleman shall approach his prospective
partner when proposing a dance, ex
actly how he shall encircle her waist
with his arm and where the palm of his
hand shall rest upon her hack, pre
cisely how her arm shall drape itself
about his shoulder while the two are
embraced during the dance, and just
how far apart she and he shall remain
while the dancing progresses.
All close-up position would he spe
cifically prohibited, and the shimmy,
the turkey trot, bunny hug, the Chi
cago and many such dances barred by
name. An expert is drafting the bill
in the hope it can escape constitutional
obstacles.
