TO REFORM CALENDAR.
YEAH, or TEN MONTHS,
BUDAPEST, June 10.
A retired school teacher, Janos Watz, of Vereec, has sent a plan for reforming the calendar to the League of Nations.
Mr. Watz, who is ninety years old, has devoted the.past thirty years to the creation of his calendar, according to which the year consists of ten months.
In this calendar each month of the ten would consist of thirty-six days, and each week of six days, remaining five days (in leap year six days) would be distributed over the summer months. From the months of the present calendar April and June would be eliminated, and from the days of the week Thursday.
In Mr. Watz's calendar Christmas would always fall on the three hundred and fifty-ninth day, and Easter would be feted at dawn.
