Staccato explosions of man darin firecrackers, outside display of paper lanterns, posters and all other Indication of exuberant celebration ax mining. Representative Chinese citizens of Salem attribute the dearth of cele bration to three causes: at present the Oriental population of Salem la very mall; secondly, there Is general at titude among modern Chinese to adopt the Gregorian calendar com monly used among other nations. The third reason for laoJc ui undue cele bration of the new year, is one with which the leading Chinese families here ara well satisfied and that is the lack of gin and other exonerat ing fluids. According to Chinese computation, this la the sixth day of the new year, 9, from the beginning of the Chinese republic In old computation the rev olution took place in the year 4609. While 1926 Is the English "leap year" the calendar of the Orient has "beaten us to It" by having Just pass ed the Chinese leap year, which con tains thirteen months and about 380 iays. The usual Chinese year has 11 months or about 354 days. The Chi nese "Leap year's" bears no special privilege for the feminine sex so far as broaching the proposal to enjoy marital bliss is concorned. The leap year of the Orient (Chi na) occur every three years or with slight addition of time, twice In each tlve year period. The noxt leap year by this old calendar will be In 1923, according to local Chinese who ex plained the time system very care fully to the Capital Journal reporter. This reporter states that all went well until his informant started to ex plain the transition of the Chinese Qult.ndar, from the year 197 and a half. Then politeness and courtesy were summoned and a promise "to call later" brought the Chinese New year story successfully to a close. Tha only general observation by the local Chinese of the Oriental new year during the past two weeks has Ibeen the inevitable exchange and pre sentatlon of gifts between friends.
