JUGGLING WITH TIME

Time, just plain time, has puzzled
philosophers from Plato down to
Bergson. But few of them have
made such valiant attempts to solve
it as this latter-day William Patter-
son Borland.
Past history now records his first
bout with the elusive element, and
his efforts to adjust Government
clerks to his ideas of its limitations
for the working day. None abashed
at being counted out on that occa-
sion the Missouri philosopher grabs
the buzz saw once more. Now he
wants to legislate the clocks an hour

CHEVY CHASE LAKE

The pleasant ride. the cooling breezes,
and the splendid music OF Meyer Davis
orchestra have made Chevy Chase Lake
a mecca for pleasure seekers lately.
In addition to the dancing there are
many other forms OF amusement with
which both the old and young may
while away a few hours and call them
well spent.
The crowds that have taken the op-
portunity, to visit the lake in the last
two weeks bear testimony to Its ever
increasing popularity.

Amount for G. A. r. Fund.


To the Editor OF THE TIMEsi
In recent issue Of your paper. I
noticed whore the Pension office claims
that they made the largest collection for
the Memorial fund. Grand Army Of tho
Republic. Allow me to state having
made the collection in the Government
Printing Office. which amounted within
few cents of $500. which was the
largest collection made In any Govern
mept department. The claim Of the
Pension Office Is utterly incorrect.
While they did the best they could. still
II Ia not right for them to make this
claim. The employees Of the Printing
Onice have been at all times more than
liberal In contributing toward the q.
A. r. Memorial fund. And no DEPART
ment can claim a larger collection than
the Printing Office. simply make this
statement In Justice to the patriotic men

Vocational education is to-day a
fact in Germany. England, France,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden. 1t was
an established fact in Belgium when
there was a Belgium. 1t is fast be-

to the wealth of these countries, to
their industrial efficiency and COM

people in these countries more demo-

In the United States, with excep-

theory. We are still debating the
democracy of vocational education for
children who leave school at fourteen,
children who will never see high

debating we are filling our juvenile

Their Place in the Sun

The United States does less to give
sun than any country of consequence
in Europe. And in the intricate form
of society in which we live this
means that the entire Industrial sta
bility and commercial progress of the
country is undermined. The laborer
is link in the chain called society,
and no chain is stronger than its
weakest link.
The United States still spells oppor-
tunity to the child who comes here
from abroad, because that child comes
either with better training or else
with a mind that has been stirred to
great eagerness. To the youngster
born or bred in this country it spells
handicap, because of our oligarchical
