THE PRINCE AT POONA WONDERFUL RECEPTION.
POONA, November 19th. Looking back on the morning's eventa: one could not help feeling that great as was the reception in Bombay, we were at Foons, coming to grips with the real India, which tands solid behind the Throne and the Empire. The lining of the routes for the different functions pro- vitled an example of Imperial unity in miniatura. Kilted Scotchmen, smart men of the British Line Imperial Service Indian Infantry all well

The dashing uniforms of the Governor's Body Guard the brilliant escorts of the Eolahpur and Gwalior Cavalry provided the touch of military ceremonial just as the khaki of the route lining troops indicated the workmanlike Yet despite purpose of their. presence.
this military display when the Prince walked past the thousands in the pandal ho was well ahead of his bosta and Star, and the cries of "Badshahk Jai" that rang out to his passing, told the tale of confidence and affection. which found a fitting climax in the even more intimate talk with the pensioners, clothed in their everyday garb of civil life, yet upright in the memory of the old days deeply hon- oured by the smiling and affectionate attention of one, who like them has the right to call himself a soldier of the Great War,

The object of the reform," Professor Emmanueli, Astronomer of the Speccoa Vaticana, explained, is to make new calendar, which should be invariable for every year, so that the same day recurs every year on the date This would be quite easy to do could the number of days composing the calendar year be exactly divided by seven. To bring about the reform it would be essen tial to put one day by itself at the begin ning of the year, without including it in the calendar week at all.
This day would stand apart as New Year's Day. This would be followed by the 384 days, which are divided into 62 weeks, making the first day of the week. Sunday. The Edditional day in leap years could be placed after 30th June and, like New Year's Day, be considered as quite apart from the calendar,
Having thus fixed the calendar, it be necessary to decide on what date Easter should fall. At present Easter falls between 22nd March and 25th April.
It is suggested that in the new calend the second Sunday in April should be selected as Easter Sunday Lord Des borough's proposal for fixing Easter without reforming the calendar will. cer- tainly receive careful consideration."
