January. two-hou- By ELMO SCOTT WATSOII Drawing by Ray Walters. EAL that title and you will exclaim: 135 weeks In 1928? Impossible! Why, there are only 52 weeks in any year!" It Isn't Impossible at all. In fact, there may be even more "weeks" than that during the new year. For it was only recently that a nationally-know- n trade magazine printed an article under the head of EVERY YEAR NOW HAS 135 WEEKS, THANKS TO ADVERTISING MEN Like Eliza Crossing the Ice, American Public Leaps From Bread and Milk Week to Prune Week, Across , Linoleum Week and Into . Prayer Week." The article dealt with the Investigations made by Guy E. Marlon, manager of the research department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, in regard to the number of "weeks" that advertisers In our newspapers and magazines have succeeded in having set aside for special observance to capture the Interest of the public." In making up the list of these weeks, he was assisted by John Cotton Dana of the New Jersey Public library, the United States Ch Tiber of Commerce, the bureau of business standards of the Shaw Publications, the liicnco Daily News and the New York Times. Whet he had finished in the his labors he discovered that the Mh year had been stretched in 135 weel! If you doubt that there may be other "wks added to the list that Mr. Marlon has complied, tala to the governor of any one of our 48 states and learn from him how often he is beseethed by some day namer or week designator" for him to indorse this, that or the other day" or week." It may be that his approval for Eat More Pecans Week or Stop Begging Rides Week' or Wash Your Windows Week Is sought. Or, If the applicant thinks that he can have his cause sufficiently advertised without devoting a whole week to it, be asks merely for Indorsement of an Apricot Day" or Play With the Children More Day," or Stepmothers Day. One eastern governor receives thousands of such letters during the course of the year. They say something like this: "Dear Governor: We are going to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Anti-Ho- g Thief association here next month and because it is such an Important occasion In the history of our state, we would appreciate It .very much If yeu would write a letter giving your wt-ek- s observance of Anti-Hoapproval of the atnte-wld- e Thief Day," etc. Or It may be put up to liim In some such fashion as this: Your Excellency: We believe that the people of this country and our stare In particular should be made conscious of the value of brushing their overcoats and shining tlielr shoes every morning before going to work, ana wo would be very grateful to you If you would Indorse this movement In your characteristic style, thus helping us establish the precedent of an annual observance of Take Greater Pains With Your Personal Appearance Week," etc. Exaggerations? Perhaps, but these are no more ridiculous than some of the requests which governors and other persons In authority receive for approval of this, that or the other movement This does not mean, of course, that all of the special observances of days and weeks" are in the same category and that many of them are liot held in worthy causes. But the fact remains that our calendar Is becoming much cluttered up with so many "days and weeks" that If the average American took time to observe" all of them he would nave time for little else. Here Is the list that Mr. Marion compiled which shows why there will be 135 weeks in I92S, and If some of the day naniers" and week designators" hate their way about It that number may he greatly augmented by the time New Year's day, 1929, rolls around.
