I SPLIT PATERNITY OF TWINS SHOWN
(Continued from page one)
It was brought out In this connec
tion that the people will probably be
given an opportunity to vote on the
bill in May.
Wm. Brlggs, state consultant for the
League of Oregon Cities, in explaining
the Knox bill, stated that It la far
more strict than the average city
would make an ordinance, and that
the licenses under the bill are also
higher than most cities would impose.
He stated that once the original three
million dollars going to relief has
been raised, the cities will obtain
more revenue than they would in moat
cases receive under home rule.
City budgets have been made up
in many cases, however, It was also
ahown at the meeting, with the un
derstanding that the revenue from
liquor channels would be available,
and the cities are as a result facing
a difficult situation. Mr. Brlggs ex
pressed the belief that the three mil
lion dollars to go Into relief would
be rained In less than a year, and
that the courts would uphold the
Knox bill.
Describing Medford'a situation, he
stated that this city would obtain
approximately 7,000 a year from
licenses under the Knox bill after
the three million requisite had been
satisfied.
CWA Need Recited.
Need for the continuation of CWA
work In all towns was reported In
response to a verbal survey made at
the meeting by Herman Kehrli. direc
tor of the bureau of municipal re
search and service at the University
Bf Oregon.
Each town's representatives an
nounced that there are sufficient
projects needed to keep the men at j
work during the spring and summer :
and that there Is still a great need
for employment. J
Mayor Wiley of Ashland expressed
considerable dissatisfaction with the
number of men so far allotted to that
jectlon, stating that there are still
jsony men in desperate need of work.
Tengwald Tell Progress.
Progress of the CWA program was
described by Victor Tengwald. field
representative, who urged cities to
keep their applications before the
board. Should the state of Oregon
be allotted more men, he explained,
It would facilitate matters greatly to
have the outlines at hand. He in
formed the group that he could not
forecast what will happen in.CWA
work after February 15.
Mayor E. M. Wilson of this city and
Mayor Walter Stockwell of Grants
Pass presided at the meetings.

They said nothing, but their enthusi

.To the Editor:
In the January 4th edition of the
Mall Tribune was a news Item stat
ing that the people of Rod an the, N.
0.. do not know how they came to
observe January fith aa Christmas.
January 5th Is the date of Christ
mas on the old or Julian calendar.
The people of the North Carolina
Banks are descendants of Sir Walter
Raleigh's colonies In America. They
came from Devonshire, England, and
due to the isolation of the islands
up to recent yeara they have retained
the customs and language of their
ancestors of the Elizabethan period.
The Julan or old calendar was used
by the English-speaking1 people In
America until 1752 when England
adopted the Gregorian or new cal
endar. The change was executed by Pope
Gregory XIII. Gregory in 1582 Issued
a brief abolishing the Julian calen
dar in all Catholic countries.
The amendment ordered was this:
Ten days were to be dropped after
October 4, 1582. and the 15th was
to be reckoned immediately after the
4th. Every 100th year, which, by the
old style was to have been leap year,
was now to be a common year, the
fourth excepted; that Is, 1600 was to
remain a leap year, but 1700, 1800.
1900. to be of common length, and
2000 a leap year again.
The Catholic countries of Europe
had all adopted the revised calendar
by 1587. By 1753 it waa accepted by
ail European nations with the ex
ception of Russia.

ury Secretary Morgenthau that he
will have a hard time getting his
friend Baillie confirmed as under
secretary. The senators are planning
to air Baillie's Wall Street record on
South American bondo. For that
reason the under secretary Job will
go to some one else, probably Tom
K. Smith, a St. Louis banker.
Also the White House is planning
a liberal to the ICC, probably Con
gressman Rayburn's adviser, Splawn.
Speaker Ralney assured a press as
sociation confidentially that Mr.
Roosevelt would not by any means
come to congress to deliver the mes
sage In person. Which makes Rai
ney'a batting average on predictions
still zero. His prediction that there
will be no stock market regulation
this session will not raise his average
either.
Mr. Roosevelt's speech at the Wil
son dinner was written only a few
hours before Its delivery. They say
he had not put a word on paper at
4 p. m., the day of the speech and
dashed It off In a hurry before dress
ing for dinner. He always lets his
speech go until the last possible min
ute, which keeps the White House
staff in a fever. What if he does not
