Tales from the Morgue

Mr. Schlusing said he cheap jerseys will offer his calendar lo the United Nations with the hope it will be adopted by every country, thus contributing to uniform measurement of time and to world understanding wholesale nfl jerseys and peace.THE SCHLUSING calender consists of two six month periods with what he calls a "solar week" sandwiched between.The six month periods hove 180 days each, a total of 360 days. The solar week has five days, making a 365 day year, with an added day, Saturday, to be used cheap nfl jerseys when and if needed as Leap Year day.Actually, Mr. Schlusing avers, the Leap Year day would not be needed, once time is measured scientifically."He contends his calendar then would be self adjusting" to any fractional time changes needed to keep track of the earth annual journey around the sun.IN CONTRAST to the existing calendar, the Schlusing world calendar has 30 day months and six day weeks, there being no cheap nfl jerseys months with 31 days and no weeks with seven days. Days of the week would fall on the same days of the month the year round, Sunday, wholesale nfl jerseys for example, would always be on the first, seventh, thirteenth, nineteenth, and twenty fifth of the month.Friday would never fall on the thirteenth, sparing people a lot of anxiety about bad luck.To achieve a six day week inventor Schlusing does away with all Wednesdays. This raised a question: How would churches observe Ash Wednesday?"Just call it Ash Tuesday," said Mr. Schlusing. "All previous calendars have been inaccurate anyway."There exist enormous discrepancies in accounting for the passage of time. So much so that varying arbitrary dates have been employed for personal, political and ecclesiastical reasons."GEORGE WASHINGTON birthday (which he doesn change) cheap jerseys is Feb. 22, according to the Gregorian calendar we now use. 400 and A. D, 1400 there apparently was no calibrated time, no significant evidenceof a beginning or end. For all we know, we may now be living in the 10th Century!"Easter, which moves about on the present calendar, would always fall on Sunday. April 13, by Mr. Schlusing calendar. Christmas would always come on Sunday, as would New Year Day.FOR HIS SIX DAY week, he envisions four working days of nine hours each, or a 36 hour week, with Sundays and Saturdays off. There would be no holidays in the four day work week, but everybody except essential workers could take off during solar week, he explained.Among the many advantages Mr. Schlusing attributes to his calendar are: It would simplify auditing, provide five working weeks every month and five pay days, cheap jerseys permit weekly publications to have 60 issues a year instead of 52, and be so uncomplicated that a child could learn it in the primary grades.Mr. Schlusing said he has been working on his calendar for two years, but got interested in the idea as a boy, when he saw his father invent what he called a "century calendar." It had a sliding device to determine on what day any date fell."MY CALENDAR is so simple it would be ridiculous not to adopt it," he said. "The only people it would hurt would be the calendar manufacturers. Mine would never have to be changed."Mr. Schlusing plans for his world calendar to become effective when there is another Jan. I that falls on a Sunday, as it did this year.The bachelors who figure they will be safe during 1940 had better look at the records In Mr. Lowry office for the last wholesale jerseys 12 years.The marriage license records show that El Paso maidens have been using their right to pop the question during the last three leap years 1928, 1932 and 1936. There were 1792 marriage licenses issued.In 1929, the year after leap year, marriages wholesale nfl jerseys dropped off by an even 400 when the question was left entirely to the men. That year there were 1392 weddings.In 1931, the year before the 1932 leap year, marriage in El Paso reached ebb tide with only 679 licenses issued. But the women used heir fourth year rights in 1932, and there were 1122 men who went to the altar to say "I do.".
