With look of desperation on his face. he gives the 'get together" signal.
 Then come Mitchell, slowly, little lame, and almost "all in, Phipps- -HericlS thrusts the receiver into his hand As he listens a beautific expression spreads over his face. It lasts long time, and then he lays down the cylinder with a sigh.

SAVING PLAN
BECOMES LAW

The daylight saving bill was
signed Tuesday by President
Wilson. 1t puts all clocks for
ward an hour on the last Sunday
in March and turns them back
again on the last Sunday in Octo-
Der.
The daylight saving plan will
go into effect and be observed
without the slightest disorgani-
zation or impairment of existing
conditions. Trains will run as
usual and every feature Of daily
life into which the element of
time enters will remain I'M
changed.
Before retiring on the last
Sunday of this month the Ameri-
can householder will set his
clock an hour ahead and then
may go to sleep and forget en-
tirely about daylight saving until
the last Saturday of October
On that date he will reverse the
process, turning back the hands
of the clock an hour and the next
day the nation will again run OF
"sun" time.
In the summer, the American
actually will rise, transact his
daily business and retire an hOul
earlier than has been his custom
J but with his clock an hour fas

HIS SHARED

" henever ranks of olive-drab
swing down the avenue,
While bugles blow and throbbing
drums roll out a brave tattoo
4 little fellow that l know looks
on with shining eyes,
And waits until the lines have
passed and all the shouting
dies,
And while far down the street
there fades the steady tramp,
tramp, tramp,
He takes my hand and says, Lets
go and buy another stampl'
Whenever in the news we read
that yet more troops have
gone,
And more and more will follow
them while still the war goes
on,
l see thoughtful little face close
up beside my chair,
A face that never yet has borne
the slightest trace of care,
And when the papers laid aside
l hear a small voice say:
eff you don't mind, think I'll buy
another stamp today"
