' LONDON, March 31-The British
Government is _takingl immediate revenue of 'the Doni ‘ f - steps .to ascertain the views of thel Hmm or the U
commercial _community of the King
dom on the question _of revising the calendar so that a given date shall hlways fall on the same day of of
the week. '
The action was taken in consequen- ee of the invitation from the Swiss Government to take part in un inter- national conference. That invitation is in turn the result of a propossl approved by the International Con- gress of Chambers of Commerce sit-
ting in London.
The proposal is that the first day
of the year shall be a bank holiday, which shall not count. This leaves for the rest of the year 364 days, which divides exactly into fifty-two weeks of seven days each.

TRIAL BY JURY A
FARCE IN MONTREAL
MONTREAL, Murch 29-The Mon-
treal courts are notable for some ex- truordinary verdicts by Fi°cnch-Cana- dian juries. Not infrequently in past years have there been findings which parelleled the historical Scottish ver- dict of “Not guilty, but don’t do it again."
Several years ago when a French-I
Canadian agitator sued the Montreal Witness for libel a jury ol his com- patriots found that he, the plaintiff was not guilty.
During the present week there have
been two examples of the idea of Bri- tish law and French-Canadian reas- oning do not reconcile.
In the case of a. young man, J. A.
Lemieux, charged with, holding up and stealing documents from the sec- retary of _ Emancipation Lodge of French Masons, an anticlerical organ- ization, a French-Canadian jury ac- quitted hlm, despite the fact that Lemieux had boasted of the exploit. Judge Lavergnc told the jury that a verdict of not guilty would make the French-Canadian people subjects for ridicule throughout the Dominion of Canada, but the warning. had no ef- fect.
Today in the superior court nn-
other French-Canadian jury rendered a verdict which Judge Demers could nobsinterpret. In a claim of a work- man for damages because of injuries sustained in a dynamite explosion, the jury answered "Yes" to the ques- tion: "Is the defendant wholly re- sponsible," and also “Yes" to the
sponsible."
Inasmuch as the imswerd were flat-
ly contradictory Judge Demers sub- mitted the verdict to the court of re- view.
