At corrective eonsidsration. There are
~ grounds for the protest against
ezeiudinE women from this examina-
ton. One Is that women are already
employed in that capacity. and have
done and continue to do excellent work,
some Of it Of the highest value. The
other Is that the Department Of Agri-
culture should have no special exemp-
ton from military service. In other
departments women have taken the
places vacated by men who have gone
into the service. If this work for
which examination is soon to be held
were such as can be performed only by
men there would be no ground for pro-
test But in view Of the excellent rec
ord Of woman plant Psychologists al
ready IN the service there is no reason
for any barrier to be erected against

throughout the winter, the clocks will
be "turned back" one hour tomorrow
morning-or as a practical matter the
last thing tonight. Thus noon tomor-
row according to the clocks will be
noon according to the sun.
Much has been said about the best
way Of readjusting the timepiece. Ger
tain mechanical difficulties exist about
turning back the hands. Some clocks
will not submit to this procedure with
out arrangement. AL striking clocks
are upset in their internal arrange
ments when the hands are shifted back
ward. The safest and most practical
way to readjust the clocks to the sun
time is to turn them forward eleven
hours. This preserves the striking
system and does no harm to the works.
Everybody should take heed, there
fore, to prepare at the hour Of retir-
ing tonight to set the clocks so that
when Sunday dawns the old time will
be restored. There should be no lapse
Of memory in this matter.

The 'Neutrap Belgian Commission


Germany, it is announced, has organ
lied q commission Of neutral resi-
dents Of Brussels" to investigate
charges Of unnecessary devastation and
destruction during the German re-
treat from Belgium. Just how @neu-
trail" this commission will be is to be
judged from the fact that it will be
under the direction of Baron Won der
Lancken, civil governor Of Brussels.
This is the same Won der Lancken who
virtually condemned Edith Caveu to
death by refusing to allow her to re-
ceive a visit from q Belgian lawyer at
the appeal Of Minister Brand Whit
lock, the same Won der ,Lancken who
interposed obstacles in the way Of a
protest against summary execution Of
that victim Of German brutality. The
impartiaGty Of commission named
and guided in its inquiry by him is
easily to be measured. The appoint
ment Of the commission in the circum-
stances is a deliberate afront to the
allied governments, an impudent an
nouncement that Germany proposes to
be her own judge Of her conduct.
