IT'S DONE WITH MIRRORS

Armistice Day comes on Wednesday, so Mayor Curley would observe it on Saturday. This may be his frenzied attempt to catch up with time, or it may be equally well the retarding influence of James J. Walker. At least, this is consistent with the inconsistent policy of Boston's progressive City Hall. The Plan submitted to the American Legion would have all holidays, except Christmas and July Fourth, observed on the Saturday of the week they come in. The Legion in no flowery language excludes Easter as a holiday for Lilies.

Should the Legion have its beer, it would not whine about holidays. Harvard, too, would rejoice at Saturday freedom, despite mutterings of the Overseers. Perhaps Curley's calendar distortions would make a subject for a Cambridge mayoralty issue. That Curley could slip through the job is certain. He would not have to search far into his administration to find some one who is adept at the necessary juggling of figures.
