The question before the house, is: How much
more leisure have we of winter evening than we
have of summer evening, when practically every
evening of the year finds us each one snugly en-
sconced within cloistered niche at the hour of
$3.50 p. NJ?
According to standard rules of com putation,
between the hours of $50 P. NJ. at which hour we
arrive "home," and 900 P NJ, at which time
taps' are sounded, there is an interval of three
hours and ten minutes And inasmuch as time units
are not subject to expansion during even the most
torrid days of summer. to contraction during
even the most frigid days of the winter season
(Which rule it it did obtain, would have exactly op.
poste results from those advanced by our esteemed
contemporary Mr.. G. R. S., we have not as yet
been able to detect any variation in the movement
of the wheels of time, in one season as against
another This, notwithstanding the fact that we
have in our possession two clocks, one of which, if
there greater lesser degree of fuctuaton in
the passage of time, we would regulate for the sum-
mer season, the other for the winter solstce
If. however, there is a marked difference in
time between two given points on the DIAL in one
season against another, which has so far escaped
our attention. would be pleased to have the pre-
misses upon which such conclusion is based made
clear to us.
This, not because we have desire to lengthen
any part of the present cycle of time, but. rather
that might, if possible. reverse the order of time
movement and shorten. not only the evenings but
the days as well, thus drawing the front gate many
degrees nearer to u.s.
What is the solution OF the problem friend S.?
Give US your fggers," for they do say as how fig
ures, when placed in correct juxtaposton to
another and employed in accordance with the we'll
defined rules governing the science of numbers and
the art OF computing by them, will have their Sc
quence in results against which the charge of error
may not truthfully be preferred Or, in words of

THE MINOR LEAGUES
 NEED A STIMULANT
By HAMILTON

NEW YORK, Sept 9.-Baseball club owners in the minor leagues, with a very few exceptions, will be glad to see the end of this season, just as they were tickled when they wound up business a year ago. Base ball in the minors, apparently, has seen it's bets days. A year ago when business was dull the whole thing was laid to the Federal League, and every one was happy; this year business again is dead, but there is no one with a good explanation for it.
 However, there is one phase of the baseball business which probably ap- plies nearer to the case of the minor leaguer than any other. Minor leagues have nothing to play for ex- cept the empty honor-to proies- sional athlete-of winning a trophy, the pennant of this particular league, denoting the championship. In the major leagues this is different. Each year there is a hot race to the end of the season and the two best clubs then get together in a series for the worlds championship. The players get their share of the gate receipts and some city gets the honor of being the home of the worlds baseball champions.
 There is the remedy for the minor leagues. If some way might be de- yised for the minor leagues to play a worlds championship series it would give a stimulus to the game in the lower classifcations. There would be driving fight among the various clubs to get into this title play and the big games would put many dol lar into the coffers of the minor mag mates. Even if they only broke even

on the heavy expense of a trip to the city where the games were staged they would have the velvet from a season of hot competition and interest aroused among the fans.
 For some time there have been de- suItory efforts by minor league mag mates to decide the minor league championship. For several seasons, when Denver was pennant winner in the Western league and Milwaukee and Minneapolis carried away bunt- ings in the American association, the respective club owners got togther and arranged a title series. There was quite a bit of interest, but the series was a failure because the Ma tional Commission or the National as sociation had nothing to do with it and pennant was not awarded.

WATERWAYS MEN PLAN A SYSTEM OF WATER ROUTES
 AGAINST FUTURE STRIKES
Especial to Gateway by United Press)

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-The plan for a system of inland waterways to insure the transportation of freight and passengers in the Eastern part of the United States in case of a gener- al railroad strike will be considered by the annual convention of the At lantic Deeper Waterways convention that opened here today.
 An inland waterways system con meeting all navigabe rivers, lakes and canals, delegates pointed out, would serve the dual purpose of rendezvous for the navy in time of war and of a means of transportation during labor troubles.
 Although Congressman J. Hampton Moore, president; Rear Admirals Will liam S. Benson and A. w. Grant; Major Generals William NJ. Black and Tasker II. Bliss and Brigadier Gener- al F.. M. Weaver and others confined their remarks to plans for the At 1antic coast, other speakers later will urge similar plans for the Gulf and Pacific coast states.
 About a thousand delegates from Atlantic coast towns and cities are here. The convention will last four days, during which, it is expected, ad- dresses will be delivered by United States Senators and Congressman of the Rivers and Harbors committee and the Commerce committee.
 Navy Secretary Daniels is to speak before the convention Sept. 16 at the League Island Navy Yard.
 Tomorrow the delegates will move their convention to Trenton and the following day to Chester Whining ton and Delaware City to examine canals.
 At Delaware City Thursday Presi- dent Wilson is expected to adress the delegates after an inspection tour of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, "the Kiel of America" as the dele gates call it. If the President cannot come, someone will be present to rep resent him.
 One of the most important phases of the convention will be taken up at Delaware City; the transformation of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal into a body of water large enough to float the largest battleships built, building or contemplated. This would afford a quick and safe passage Tor the sea dogs from the importan Chesapeake Bay, from whence it would go to the defence of Baltimore and Philadelphia via the Delaware river.
