GERMANY's WISE COURSE Is TO PAY

The State Departments note calling on Germany
to pay 1928 036.54 for the sinking of the American
sailing ship William P Frye by the Germany cruiser
Prnz Eite Friedrich is brief and to the point, but
expressed in friendly terms Moreover it doesn't
bear the earmarks of being an exorbitant charge.
This polite but firm request for reparation is not
even accompanied by an "itemized statement" 1t
simply calls for the payment by the German gov
ernment of fixed amount which is regarded by
the American government as fair basis of adjust
ment for the damage DONE
Of course it is Germany's right to call for
specific information if she feels that she is being
gouged that it is necessary, and there is no doubt
Uncle Sam would provide that information, but
suming that Germany is satisfied that Uncle Sam is
not trying to get than the American ship
do is to pay the bill and close the incident on the
very reasonable basis proposed.
There seems to be little doubt that the commander
of the Eitel in error when he ordered the Frye
sunk The Frye was an American ship carrying
food to a foe of Germany. If Germany justfes the
action of the Eitels commander in sinking the
American vessel presumably it would be hard for
Germany to explain Germany s objections to Brit
ish interference with neutral ships carrying food
stuffs to Germany.
Germany can settle the Frye incident with dignity
and honor by paying the not excessive charge of
United States government, and thus not only avoid
the danger of dispute with this nation but also
avoid weakening Germany's position in the inter
national controversy regarding the British attitude
toward neutral shipping.

FIR EMEN GET WORD OF THANKS
Citizen Company Receives Letter Of
Gratitude From Managers

A letter of thanks has been received
by the members of the Citizen Fire
Company from the board of managers
of the Day Nursery through its secre-
tary, l.. NJ. Montgomery, for the kind
ness shown by the firemen in giving the
use of their engine house parlor on
Tuesday night, March 16, when the
Nursery Home was destroyed by fire.
The letter follows:
"To the Citizens Fire Company,
North Fourth street, city-Gentlemen
To no one are we more grateful nor
more indebted than to you. May [ tell
you now thankful the Board of Managers
of the Nursery Home feel for your
great care of our little ones, not only
as brave fremen, but as royal hosts.
Surely You can picture these boys after
having been a real firemen for one
night and being in a real engine house,
how important and brave they have
grown, to them it was a night never to
be forgotten, and when we ask them
now, what they want to do when grown,
they promptly reply, join the Citizen
Fire Company and be real firemen, and
who can tell but some of their wishes
you words fail me, but possibly you
may read between the lines all that my
heart in its thankfulness wishes to ex
press for all that you have done for
our little ones for whom we are most
anxious to do our best. Come and see
the children when we settle in our new
home on South Cameron street, for 1
assure you the latch string is always
out and most cordial welcome awaits
you, for none can take your place.
Hoping that the coming year may be
one of success and prosperity and in
all peril or danger, that God will wrap
his protecting arms about you and bring
you safely to your loved ones at home
will ever be the prayer of the Board Of
Managers Of the Nursery Home.
every respectfully,
sd. NJ. Montgomery, Sec"

PLANNING TO SAVE DAYLIGHT

The daylight saving idea which had been agi-
tated in England, Canada and the United States
not so very many years ago, but had been aban-
doned because of evident impractcabiity, has again
been brought into prominence. The probable adop
tion of the scheme in Germany has been announced
Of it is the that is responsible for the
revival of the plan at this time.
Germany's purpose in adopting the untried
scheme would be to economize in the use Of fuel
If all the clocks in the empire were to be put for
ward an hour during the summer months, all the
stores shops and factories would start their daily
activities an hour earlier than at present and of
course would close an hour sooner, thus giving the
workers sixty minutes of daylight for their even.
ing recreations in substitution for as MANY min
utes of darkness
There is really but one reason why in Germany
in this country either so many workers should
sleep through the precious early morning daylight
and be awake long into the darkness of the night
That reason is the persistence of modern men in
relying so completely ON clock and watch dias in
arranging their every activity. Before time was
measured it is now, human beings were awak-
ened by the rising sun and became sleepy at evening
twilight This condition still exists of course in
rural districts where standard time is not taken too
seriously, and where seven a. m. in summer is not
considered the as seven a. m. in winter lust
because the hands of clocks and watches happen
to be in the same relative positions.
In cities, of course the wheels of industry could

her first birthday anniversary. The

profusion of spring flowers in a pretty
color scheme of pink and green. The
little guests spent a merry evening with
music, games and contests, after which
birthday luncheon was served.
The table appointments were in pink

flowers as centerpiece. For each little
guest there was pretty favor, tiny

not run smoothly if it were not for the regularly
rotating wheels of clocks and watches. Standard
time is indispensable in busy communities, even if
it does prevent the earlier use of daylight at this
season of the year. The putting forward of the
clocks would remedy matters theoretically, but it
would surely confuse beyond control all such sys-
TENS those Of the railroads, which dependent
upon carefully followed schedules.
In Germany at present the country is in state
of less disorder and the clock might be put
forward in that country with comparatively little
added confusion to industries. One objection that
might reasonably be raised, however, to the adop-
ton of the "daylight-saving' plan in Germany is
that the idea is that of an inventive Englshman,
whose country would no doubt feel highly honored
by such recognition of British ingenuity.

WHEN SENSE OF SMELL GOES WRONG

There is man in the county Jail in Spokane,
Wash. who is to be pitied His lot is not remark
ably hard one merely by reason of the fact that he
is confined in a cell, for that is the common lot of
very many luckless mortals. His particularly re-
markably misfortune is disorder of his olfactory
which causes everything he comes in contact
to smell like grease"
Consider for moment what must be the feeling
of man who lifts to his nostris beautiful rose
which gives out perfumes of axle grease or who
raises to his mouth delicious morsel of food which
smells like unto lard. There would hardly be much
JOY in life for such one. Little wonder that the
Spokane man has pleasant visions of himself dang
ling at the end of a rope, and that the county
authorities must force to prevent him from tax
ing his life.
If man is color blind he still can live happily
by keeping his mistakes to himself and if his hear
ing is defective he merely refrain from answer
ing questions and thus prevent laundering; but if
something goes wrong with his sense of SMELL so
that even his food is repulsive he may, perhaps
be condoned for harborng suicidal designs

SEE PENNSYLVANIA FIRST"
j. Horace Mcfarland Will Deliver Lee
ture Before Engineers Society


j. Horace Mcfarland, vice president
of the Pennsylvania Conservation As
sociation and president of the Ameri-
can Civic Association has prepared an
illustrated address entitled 'See
Pennsylvania First which he will
deliver before the Engineers Society
of Pennsylvania on Friday evening,
April 16, at the society's house, 81
South Front street.
The lecture is intended to show
few of the more than ffty-seven va
rieties of scenery easily available III
the Keystone State, and incidentally
to call attention to the yet unchecked
desecration of scenery which in other
parts of the world is held to be an
important economic asset by reason of
the income derived from its display
and exploiting.
Mr.. Mcfarland takes his hearers on
rather jumpy trip from the north
east corner of the State, also on the
Delaware to the water courses near
Philadelphia, thence up the Schuylklll
and to the valley of the Susquehanna.
He shows not only the natural wild
beauties of the State, but the beauties
created by the agricultural use OF the
soil. The Cumberland Valley is visit
ed, and there is trip up the Juniata
and across the mountains, touching
very lightly upon the northwestern
corner of the State.
Two great regions are carefully
visited, one including superb natural
park which ought to be a State park,
and the other the famed Eagles Mere
vicinity, which Mr.. Mcfarland insists
presents a nepitome of all the finest
scenery of the United States.
There are something more than
hundred perfectly colored slides which
will be shown including many from the
Pennsylvania State museum, which at
Mr.. McFarland's suggestion has de-
veloped the idea of making Pennsyl-
vanians acquainted with Pennsylya-
mia.

SWARTZ HAS NEW FAX PLAN
Submits Bill Providing Penalties for
Delay in Paying School Levy

Representative Swartz, of Dauphin
county, last night introduced bill in
the House allowing school tax receivers
to give one per cent. rebate on all
taxes paid before August in the year in
which they are levied and providing
that penalty of three per cent. be
added in October and one per cent.
each month thereafter until the taxes
are paid.
The bill applies to second, third and
fourth class districts. The present law
does not allow a rebate, but provides
an added penalty of five per cent. in
October.
Representative Nissley, of the Second
district of Dauphin county, presented a
petition in the House last evening,
signed by sixty-fve teachers in the
county outside the city, praying that
the teachers retirement bill become a
law. The petition was regularly en-
tered on the House journal.
