Government Printing Office EN-
ployes VIII Quit Half Hour Sooner.
Notices were posted in the Government
Printing office yesterday of certain changes
OF working hours for the employees of that
institution. Heretofore the rule has been
to go to work at a m and continue until
1 p. m; then take the hour until . p m.
for lunch or dinner and resume at = ,concud-
ing the days work at 8 p. m.
Recently there has been desire for a
change, the sentiment i'll its favor being
largely in a majority. Circulars asking
for change and against it were handed
around, but the new rule was agreed upon
is that the employees should work from 8
until m, take a half hour for lunch, begin
again at 1890, and work until 1870 p m
This schedule of hours has been approved
by the Public Printer, and it Will be in
effect on Monday next.
Those who oppose the new schedule say
that it is distinctly in favor of the people
who live at a distance from the office, in
the surrounding towns, and Baltimore, and
especially iu favor Of the baseball crauks.
They also say that it is in the interests OF
no business except that of the saloon and
luuch counters,

A recent decisi on OF the Court of Appeals

ment, forunmarried men and women to CO.
habit in the District of Columbia. But it
is a questi on if milder means to induce
these misguided persons to marry should
not first be led before the severe penalty
of the law is inflicted. There are thou
sands OF reformers, both white and colored,
in thi city who are actively engaged in
benefiting humanity and here is a field of
labor that has been neglected and which
demands their earnest efforts.
No offense strikes so deeply or proves
SO demoralizing as the social evil. Open
and fragrant violations of wedlock are
too common for public good, and it is time
aneffort wasmade toSuppress them. Where
people live together IN the face of public
decency they should first be requested to
marry, and if they refuse the full penalty
OF the law should be inflicted. Let an or
gained effort be made TO crush out this
evil

REAR END COLLISION.
Two lexington Cars ColIided on Sixtl
Street.

Two lexington Cars Collided on Sixth
Street.
Slippery tracks Oh the hill at Louisiana
avenue and Sixth street northwest caused
two horse cars of the lexington and Sol
diers' Home railroad to collide yesterday,
injuring one horse and a driver, and shak-
ing up several passengers.
Driver Pendletou lost control of the car
driven by him when he reached the top Of
the bill on the down trip, and in spite of
the brakes it started down the hill at a
lively speed, knocking down the horses
and dragging them some distance before it
was brought to a standstill.
While it was still there the car behind it
reached the top of the hill and also started
down. Driver Cline did not know that the
car in front was in trouble, but when his
car got away from him he pulled the pin
from the double tree and released his
borseS.
| His car then struck Driver Pendeton's
carin the rear, spliutering them both slightly
and shaking the passengers up in both cars.
Fresh teams were telephoned for aud the
tracks Were sanded to prevent a repetition
of the accident

KIDMELL HEIRS, SUIT.
Mr.. Taggart Concludes His Argument
and Mr.. w ilson Beg ms.

Mr.. Nathaniel wilson began his argu-
ment yesterday afternoon in behalf OF
the claimants to the Kidwell meadows,
forty-seven acres, lying just south OF the
old Naval Observatory, and was speak
ing at the close of the session. He viii
resume when court opens Monday next.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart,
who began his argument against the
validity OF the KidweIl claims four days
ago, concluded his presentation OF The
government case vest erday morning.
In summing up he said the Kidwell
patent is void, because the land was,
when granted, a part of the Potomac,
and is now as firm land within the city
limits; also because OF irregularity in
the grant, and because the land called for
by the patent cannot be located.
Mr.. Wilson, i'll beginning his reply, made
the point that in letting the matter
rest without prosecution the government
has waived its rights.

The crops are always an important
factor at this time of the year in the
business situation, and they were
never more promising in midsummer
than they are at present. Corn's con-
dition is put at 99.3 by the Agricultu
raj Department., which is!higher than it
was for many years at this time:
winter wheat's is 65.S and spring
wheat's 1922. The low figure for
winter wheat, offset by the high one
for the spring variety, will make the
aggregate wheat yield from $50, 000,-
900 to 475,OoO, 900 bushels, or an aver
age crop. Corn, however, promises
to beat all records. The condition
and acreage mean yield of over q,
800, 900, 900 bushels, which is about
300, 900, 900 in excess of any previous
production, and almost double last
years yield, which was 1,25O,OOO, 900.
