What would you do If you had a job
behind a counter in a suit and cloak
store and you suddenly discovered that
you had fallen heir to 100000?
That was the question which con-
fronted Miss Ruth Johnson when she
read in a newspa per that the police
here had been ms tructed to seek her
in order that she might claim the es-
tate of her grandfather Henry John
son. of Danville, H., suicide.
What did she do?
She went back to the store and re-
sumed her selling OF clothes to rich
women who think themselves much
above counter jumper
1T seemed the most natural thing
to DO" she said.
About the only change in her pres
ent mode OF living. she said, is that
she will resume her rightful name.
After her father died. when she was a
little girl. she took the name Of her
stepfather, Hibbs. She now is % years
old. She is a blonde with blue eyes
and delicate features.
For the present she will content her
self with trip to Danville to settle UP
her grandfatier's estate. She has
plans. of course Who wouldn't if more
money than she ever expected TO see
were suddenly laid at her feet? Among
other things she thinks 1t would be
nice to be able to go to the theateI

Des Moines, March 30.-The rail-
road companies, telegraph and tele-
phone concerns and all big business
firms are preparing today to begin OPP
Grafton under the new daylight sched-
ulc Sunday.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has arranged to send out a spe-
cial crew of linemen to set all of its
electrically operated clocks ahead an
hour. Special orders have been is
sued by the Rock Island railroad lines
to all employees giving instructions as
to how the various crews are to take
up their work under the new time
schedule. At . a. m. Sunday morn
ing all clocks in train dispatchers Of
fees and railroad offices open at that
hour will set their clocks ahead one
hour. All train men are expected 10
compare their time with that OF the
train dispatchers.
The daylight saving plan is given
little space in a new war cyclopedia
forwarded to the state defense council
offices here. 1t is explained that the
idea originated with Benjamin Frank
lin. However, it was not put into er-
feet in those days, as is we'll known.
The idea was taken up in 1907 by
William Willetts. an Enslishman, who
published a pamphlet on the subject.
The title of his pamphlet was Waste
of Daylight. The plan then gained
general discussion. In 1915 1t was
adopted by England, Holland, Aus
tria. Turkey, France, Norway, Sweden
Denmark, Portugal, Italy, Switzer-
land, spain and later in few cities in
the United States. Germany also
adopted the plan.
In some Iowa papers there has been
discussion as tho the adoption OF this
plan was optional. 1t apparently was
not recognized by these papers that
the government has made this law
and that the entire country must adopt
it and that communities which hold to
the old plan will find themselves out
Of gear with the business world so
seriously as to greatly handicap then

Liaht Companies Lose Revenue.
Officials of the light company fig
ure that the daylight saving law is
a misnomer as far as their business IS
concerned.
When the new law goes into ef-
feet and the clocks indicate retiring
time an hour earlier than at present
the II 900 resident consumers OF the
Des Moines Electric Company will
shut off approximately $40 revenue
daily.
This estimate is based upon an
average Of three light of so watts each
for each consumer. The cost per
hour to run such lamp is one-third
Of a cent.
Three lamps for each of $4,000 con-
sumers, turned off an hour earlier
will mean $40 daily. or $4,000 per
month, which the light company must
lose
Besides resident consumers, the

nishes current 70 about 1000 business
meters. This item will show similar

NOTED MouNTAlNEER DEAD.
Ono Of Trio to First Ascend Mount
Blanc Dies in England.

London, Feb. 21-(By Mail)-The
Rev. A. s. w. Young, who has Just died
at his home on the Thames, was the
last survivor Of three brothers who won
the attention of the world in 1866 by
making the first ascent of Mount Blanc
without guide. On their return
journey they fell 1000 feet over a prec-
ipice, one of them being killed but the
other two escaping practically unhurt.
The three brothers Young, athletes
and experienced mountaineers, an
nounced their intention Of climbing
Mount Blanc at the most dangerous
season Of the year. All endeavors to
dlssuade them failed, and in view Of
the great danger Of the enterprise the
main streets of Chamonix we're
thronged with spectators and tele-
scopes were much in demand.
towards II o'clock the three brothers
were discerned looking like pigmies
far UP on the loftiest terrace of the
Grand Plateau. climbing with remark
able vigor. They disappeared in the
corridor and were lost to view for
an hour, when they reappeared and
were seen standing together on the
extreme summit Of Mount Blanc. Thew
remained there for a few minutes and
then commenced the descent,
suddenly all three VANISHED and an
instant later they appeared 1000 feet
below One Of the trio had slipped on
the edge OF precipice and the broth
ers, being roped together were shot
down an almost perpendicular slope of
ice to point where it joined the bord
err Of the upper glacier. Horror-strick-
en-. the watchers below presently saw
two of the men rise to their feet, and
for two and a half hours they bent
over the PROSTATE form Of the third,
who seemed inert.
Then the two. one walking with great
difficulty, began the laborious descent,
leaving the lifeless body Of their broth
er. 1t was dark before they reached
the Corridor" and they did not reach
a safe stopping place until about three
o'clock in the morning. A rescue par
ty from Chamonix afterward recovered
the body Of the brother. whose neck
had been broken by his fall.
