PROPOSE NEW 13 MONTH CALENDAR

A new calendar which would give this country "equal months," or months exactly four weeks in length has been proposed by the American Calendar Association, and a bill to that effect introduced in Congress. This simplified form has been approved by many authorities and, according to the plans of its inventors, it could be adopted on Sunday, the first day of the year 1922, without causing any noticeable inconvenience.

The changes would be made in the following manner: first, New Year's Day would become an independent legal holiday. "It would not be included in any week or month. Second, another independent holiday, called "Correction Day" would be provided for leap year. Third, the 364 days would be divided into thirteen months of exactly four weeks each, every month commencing with Monday.

Neither the number nor the length of our months is governed by the moon or any natural law which means that the months may be changed as the country sees fit. In this new form the months would be named as followed: January, February, Liberty, March, etc.

Many advantages are urged for the new plan. All holidays and anniversaries would always fall on the same day of the week while a promissory note given for any number of weeks, months or years will always come due on the day of the week it was given. The plan also provides that Good Friday and Easter Sunday be observed on certain fixed dates.
