URGES CHANGE ' IN CALENDAR United States Asked to Take Part In International Calendar Conference Washington, Aug. 14.—(U.R) -Recommendations favoring the proposed new calendar of 13 months of 28 days each were made to Secretary of State Stimson today by the national committee of calendar simplification. American participation in an international conference to provide for such revision of the calendar was urged. The report was transmitted to Stimson by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde on behalf of George Eastman. Rochester, N. Y., chairman of the committee. "It seems the time is near at hand when the adoption of one simple universal calendar by all the nations of the earth will confer important benefits upon all humanity and our posterity.” Secretary Hyde wrote. “I believe that the efforts of this department to perform its functions In the fields of science, agriculture and meteorology would be materially promoted and facilitated under a better calendar than the one now in use.” The committee is an unofficial body with government representation from several departments. Charles F. Marvin, chief of U. S. weather, is vicechairman. o SEVERE STORMS HITS NORTHERN PART OF STATE (CONTINUED FBOM PAGE ONE) in Indiana and Ohio. Two Boys Killed Huntington, Ind..

Aug 14 —(UP) —Several men in high standing in Phoenix and Maricopas county will be brought into the Paul Edward Reynolds case before the murderer of the department of justice agent is apprehended, investigators declared today. Reynolds’ brief cas<> contained hints of exchanges of large sums of money between some of the state's leading citizens, they brought out. The finding of the automobile in which Reynolds went to his death last Friday, speeded up the chase for the slayer or slayers of the federal agent. John S. Gange, U. S. attorney for Arizona, has arrived here from Tucson and taken charge of the investigation. “We arc working on some valuable clues and expect to get results within 24 hours,” he said. —o — DECLARES DIVIDEND New York, Aug. 14.—(U.R)— Directors of the Sinclair Oil Company today declared an extra dividend of 25 cents on the common stock in addition to the quarterly dividend of 50 cents, both payable October 15. to stockholders of record September 14. o The Eternal Turmoil Women do not make men better; they bother them. That is nature; the law of God. Throughout the Bible one finds evidence of the natural friction between men and women. “Wives, obey your busbands,” says the Good Book. It is also declared that women must keep silence in the churches; the old saints early had trouble with their women.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. o —— Turpentine Production Turpentine is derived from the sap of various trees, and can be made from some which grow in the northwest, but the turpentine of commerce In the United States comes almost entirely from certain pine trees which are distributed throughout the southern states.
