TOMORROW
GA&HHDAR . . . .? again
Unless the League of Nations finds
itself Otherwise occupied, this is the
year in which it is expected to take
up in a serious way the matter of cal
endar reform.
i
Most of the opposition to calend.-ir '
reform has vanished, ; nd the ma' i
qo4)$ion now seems to be whether it
will be a 13-month year , as was ad
vocated by the late George Eastman,
or a 12-month venr with the mont'is
rearranged by subtracting days fro n -
some of them and adding them lo
others. At present the 12-month pfou
seems to tie in the Unci.
Changing the calendar is a go *1/
deal like changing from standard
time to daylight saving time; a lot mi'
people seem to think that it is huiititi
tinkering with an act. of God;. Bnl
?ur present calendar has been revised
twice since it was first promulgated .
by Julius Caesar, and the last revision
was directed by Po|>e Gregory VI.
The present Poj>e has expressed .1
friendly attitude toward further re
vision, and so have the leaders of
other religious groups. I think some
thing is going to come of this.
CHICKENS,. . . tattoo
Thie principle obstacle to bringing
chicken thieves to justice is the dif
ficulty of identifying the stolen chick
ens. Some bright, poultryman inven?
ed a method of branding chickens, and
the movement for registering the in
dividual tattoojnarks of each profes
sional poultry raiser is spreading
throughout the northern and eastern
parts of country.
Cattle rustling and horse stealing
were mado difficult and finally almosl
eliminated by the use of private regis
tered brands. I don't see any reason
why it hhould not work equally wcM
in the war on chicken thieve*
ADMINISTRATION . . . man
It is .a rare thing in this country
to find a inan so well trained in publi'i
administration that cities bid .against
each other for his services. The city
of Toledo, Ohio, has just appointed
John N. Edy as City Manager. Mr.
Bdy was mity manager, of BeAeley,
California, at $75,000 h year. Flint,
Michigan, hired him away from
Berkeley by offering him $15,000. Dal
las, Texas, offered $16,500 and got him
away from Flint. Then Uncle Sam
drafted him as assistant director of
the budget. Now, Toledo ha.^hired
him to run the town, ?t $5,00(1 a
yeafl.
There are 426 American cities now
managed by professional, non-parti
san city inanagers instead of by polit
ically elected mayors. There would
be more if then' were, more trained
administrators available. I can think
of few more useful or profit/dde
oareers for which ambitious and in
telligent young men might train.
RAILROADS motor*
Just, as J he railroads are waking up
to the fact that they can compete
successfully with motor vehicles for
passenger transportation, tEe motor
people arc showing the railroads some
real competition in long-distsinco
freight hauling.
A motor caravan of trailers hauled
by trucks, a'week or two ago, carried
a pay-load of freight from Chicago to
I/tN Agmdcs. heating the best raihtT*
M'hcduie l?y hours. Thffe? turn. I ?
around and c/irried a full M trm
Los Angeles to New York is 78 lwfrs
less than the best railroad freight
time.
But thi western railroads and some
of the eastern, with their new li -hr?
u eight, high-speed, air-eonditioned pa3
senger trains are finding their onco
despised passenger business ean be
made profitable in spite <rf automobile
competition.
This i3 the kind of competition in i'
which the public gets the chief benefit*
ECONOMICS . fore!
Somebody remarked not long ag>
that everybody is an economist, the*
days. Certainly there hi* never
sincc the early 1800's such widespread
discussion of economic question* mid
so much misinformation and loose
thinkiner u bout them.
Thoma? W. Lamont, partner in the
House of Morgan, gave i half million
dollars t h?- other day to Harvard Uni

he "Political economy concerns
