dyer STARTS ROW
At HOUSE SESSION
Man From Missouri Wants Remarks
Put Into Record.

Seldom does the House lose an op-
portunity to wrangle. Yesterday it
met for but a short time. in order to
consider undebated legislation.
The scrap came over a request by
Dyer. of Missouri, to extend his re-
marks in the Congressional Record.
Vinson, of Georgia. had already
secured this permission. But Kincheloe,
of Kentucky, objected to Dyer's re-
quest. Longworth, of Ohio, was also
refused the opportunity to put his
words into print
There was quite a turmoil and sud-
denly Crisp, Of Georgia, cut the
Gordian knot by moving adjournment
to Friday, as previously agreed.
Walsh, of Massachusetts,, said last
week he would oppose putting ex-
traneous matter in the Record. He
was not present today. But some who
agreed with him were.

on tbs stage and concert p.a forms.
Balanced against the musical

cularly strong in personnel. Dr..

Chauncey Hawkins, the great

Of a revolutionary character, it was OPP
posed upon the imaginary grounds that
it was needless, confusing, etc.
On April 6, 1916, the German Federal
Council passed bill providing that May
LIST, all clocks should be set ahead one
hour. Reasons Of economy dictated
this action. Twelve other European
nations have since adopted the sugges-
ton and Nova Scotia has introduced it
on this side of the ocean.
No confusion or harm has resulted in
this vital change affecting the daily life
of millions, but to the contrary, much
benefit and especially much saving of
money. For example, England is saw
ing $12, 900, 900 on gas and electric light
every year. New York City could save
81, 500, 900 yearly on gas alone were
this valuable idea followed.

Everybody likes q freak man, one
that tells you his honest thought, one
you can rely upon when you turn your
back. But candor is not only in word
it is deed and work. Many time
will an untruth be hidden in a piece
of work, something that the person has
neglected or covered, so as to hide a
deceit. There are many Of this sort OF
people. They think that doing lie is
not as bad as saying one. What the
world needs in all the phases of life,
in church, in school, in society, in jour
nalism, in politics, are candid people,
not the obtrusive or Boosting kind, but
the quiet, steady kind whose word and
act can be counted on. It is a great
honor to be known as frank and sin
cere person, and it would be glorious
thing If society, politics, and business
was full of such people.

A NEW WORLD FORCE?

rs there scientific miracle brewing?
= A naturalized Armenian with the
euphonic name of Garabed T. K. Gira-
.ossian, offers the Government new
ind inexhaustible source Of energy ca
liable of running ocean liners without
iuel, of flying airplanes, of moving To-
comotives, autos, and all machinery in
,he same way without coal, gasoline,
&C.
Says Giragossian, II simply tap
hitherto unused source of energy
provided by nature as distinctly as
were beds of coal, pools OF oil, or
fields of gas. 1t is no more wonderful
than the energy that transmits wire
less messages half around the world
or carries the human voice thru
thousands of miles of space without
visible connection.
All he asks is that Congress pass
bill safeguarding his rights for II
Years, the patent license period, if tests
by five government scientists prove his
claims to be good.
An attempt, it is said will at once be
made, to pass such bill. This may or
NAV not be fake. But it promises, in
truth, little more wonderful than the
now accepted marvels of wireless 1ele-
graphy and telephony, and the phono-
graph, and should at least be thoroughly
Investigated.

A public clock which can be heard
but not seen is one of London's curl
Gus possessions, according to Tit-Bits.
Il is in the tower Of st. Mary Abbot's
church, Kensington, and is the only
public clock in the immediate neigh
borhood. 1t chimes the quarters and
hours, but commits itself no further.
It has no dial, no hands, no outward
and visible sign Of any kind to show
that it is clock. This eccentricity, it
is explained, is the result Of two
causes. When the tower was
built in 1879 a clock was advised as
an afterthought, but the architect pro-
tested that it would mean the addition
of Is feet to the tower, and the ruin
of it's cherished proportions. A sec
.ond point was that the church, having
slender funds, could not afford clock
with a dial. A compromise was ar.
rived at by installing the works of a
Ginning clock in the belfry without
dial or hands.
