Senator Owen has the right idea He be-
Ieyea that the interests Of Egypt should be
protected, but he does not offer amendments to
the league Of nations covenant to that end. He
offers a reservation defining the American
of the arrangement between
Egypt and Great Britain, leaving the matter
open to adjustment by the League Of Nations
This does not interfere in any way with the
ratification Of the treaty. The Oklahoma SEN
ator is wiser than many Of those who sit with
him under the giIded dome.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS
ENDORSED BY LABOR

washington. Feb 26,-~Organized
lanor today endorsed the proposed
daylight law Frank Morrison, sec
rotary of the American Federation of
Labor, issued the following statement:
Under the daylight saving plan ali
working hours are daylight hours, and
men. women and children In industry
nave greater opportunity fer recrea-
ton in the sunlight. II is believed
that IL would result in materially re-
ductns the number OF Injuries from
accidents. AS physical energy Is at the
lowest ebh in the late afternoon hours.
Warrant for this belief appears
IN the industrial accident statistics OF
pennsylvania, In that state the num-
Der Of accidents was 43.036 less In
1918 than i'll 1917. and 1912 less,
than In 1916. The total for 1918 was
ASA, OF which mum Der 1900 were
Killed. In that one state alone the
casualties from accidents were nearly
the same as the American casualties
in The great world war. Much of the
Industrial casualties In PENNSYLVANIA
can he very materially reduced by the
application OF the daylight saving
law" ......
