In the election next Tuesday you
have two duties to perform for your
self and for the community in which
YOU live. One duty is to be sure to
come to the polls as early in the day as
possible to cast your vote, and don't let
any business keep you away. There is
nothing more important to all the peo-
pie of Albuquerque than for you to
vote. then if the result is not satisfac-
tory to the people every man can
blame himself for his share of the
trouble
The other duty you owe yourself
and the people of the city is to vote for
three men who will serve the city
faithfully and who have the ability and
time to do it. What good will it do the
city if you elect three perfectly honest
men whose daily occupations keep
them steadily at work all day long
every day? 1t is a waste Of votes.
This city will need the attention of the
three Commissioners for a great part
of many days and nights also before
the town is on a good business basis.
This is not political "ring around
the rosy" button, button, who's got
the button" proposition, but a serious
business that must have lots of time
and day time spent on it.

WILL TRY TO MAKE
HOME PLATE WIDER
Tener Would Extend it Inch
and Have Three Balls
Suffice.
EFFECT PSYCHOLOGICAL

New York, Jan. 3l.-President John
K. Tener OF the National league, said
today that he will submit to the joint
rules committee, which meets here
next month recommendation to in
crease the width of the home plate
from seventeen to eighteen inches and
send batsman to first base on three
balls instead of four. Such change
in the rules, he declared. would bring
about the desired increase in batting.
Il believe simply sending batsman
TO. first base on three balls instead of
four would be too great a change
and would throw the balance too
much in favor of the batsman," Tener
said. by widening the plate an inch,
however, the pitcher would have
better opportunity of getting the ball
over, but such a change would be
about two-thirds in favor of the bats
man.
Il believe increasing the width of
the plate would have more of a psy-
Geological effect than an actual one.
The pitcher, knowing the plate had
been widened, would have more con-
hdence in his ability to get the ball
over, while the batsman, also con-
scious of the increased width of the
plate would feel he had to hit the ball
instead of trying to wait for base
on balls

Chamber of Commerce Com

Authorize Change.
MANY ADVANTAGES CITED

Washington, Jan. 3l,-Congression-
al action to authorize the setting of
all clocks in the country one hour
ahead of the present standard time
was recommended to the Chamber OF
Commerce of.the United States today
at the opening Of its fifth annual
meeting, which will conclude Friday
night by committee on daylight
saving" As an alternative the COM
mittee suggested the plan at least for
the months between April and De-
cember !.
The committee report on daylight
saving said:
"The considerations supporting this
provision are physiological, economic
and social. 1t will substitute a cool
morning working hour in summer for
warm afternoon hour. Increased
daylight in the hours of greatest ia
tigue will tend to lessen tuberculosis,
will decidedly reduce eye strain, will
increase personal efficiency and ma
terially lessen accidents. In cities the
advantage of having thl evening
rush hour, when transportation facili-
ties are taxed, come in daylight is
apparent:
The directors report stated the
national chamber sis able to speak
for over 100000 firms, corporations
and business men"
