PAGE TWO TODAY K PARKER BRID6E CALENDAR again Unless the League of Natk/ns finds itself otherwise occupied, t’his is the year in which it is expected to take up in a serious way the matter of calendar reform. Most of the opposition to calen dar reform has vanished, and the main questif/n now seems to ibe whether it will be a 13-month year, as was advocated by the late George Eastman, or a 12-month year with the months rearranged by subtracting days from some of them and adding them to others. At present the 12-month plan seems Va be in the lead. Changing the calendar is a good deal like changing from standard time to daylight saving time; a lot of people seem to think that it is human tinkering with an act ai (iod. But our present calendar has been revised twice since it was first promulgated by Julius Caesar, , ■ , • and the lust revision was directed mtelligent young by Pope Cregory VI. The present | Pope has expressed a friendly at titude tc/ward further revision, and so have the leaders of other re ligious groups. I think something is going to come of this. ♦ ♦ ♦ CHICKENS tattoo The principal obstacle to bring ing chicken thieves to justice is the difficulty of identifying the stolen chickens. Some bright iioultryman invented a method of branding chickens, and the movement for marks of each professional poultry raiser is spreading, throug'hout the iK/rthern and eastern parts of the country. Cattle rustling and horse stealing were made difficult and finally al most eliminated by the use of pri vate registered brands. J don’t see any reason why it should not work equally well in the war on chicken thieves. * * * ADMINISTRATION . . . man It is a rare thing in this country to find a man so well trained in puiblic 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. Edy was city man ager of Berkeley, California, at $7,- 500 a year. Flint, Michigan, hired him away from Berkeley by offer ing him $15,000. Dallas, Texas, of fered $16,500 and got him away from Flint. Then Uncle Sam draft ed him as assistant director of the budget. Now, Toledo has hired him to run the town, at $12,000 a year. There are 426 American cities now managed by professional, non partisan city managers instead of by politically elected mayors. There would be more if there were more trained administrators available. I can think of few more useful or profitable careers for which ambi- men THE FRANKUN PRESS AND THE Hl€HLANPS MACONIAN i [ r Nasturtiums these days.

Lamont, partner m the House of Morgan, gave a half million dollars the other day to Harvard' University to establish a new chair of political economy. In making the gift, he said: Political economy concerns itself as much with the behavior of man as a so cial animal as it does with any known laws of industry and trade. That, it seems to me, is the most sensible statement I have seen in a long time. Professional economists are as apt to overlook the laws of human behavior as the amateuf THURSDAY.
