Daylight Saving Saved.

The refusal of the national House of
Representatives TO pass the daylight
saving repeal over the veto of the presi-
dent doubtless saves for the indefinite
future that interesting experiment. Here
is an example of the power of one man,
and that the president of the United
States, by his courageous employment
of the veto.
We have always believed that day
light saving would prove thoroughly sat
isfsctory as soon as people became used
to it. All new things have a great deal
of momentum to overcome. The farm
ers, for instance, undeniably have some
grievances against the daylight saving
plan. But in time the milk trains, which
seem to be the occasion of most of the
trouble, are likely to be adjusted more
nearly than now TO the farmers actual
needs. There will be other notifications
which we shall have to make and, having
done so, the community will profit i'm
measureably by the pushing Of the sum

A Tip to a Candidate.

Hiram Johnson, senator from CaIifor.
mia, is nursing a boom fervently and
with assiduity. A few days ago, being
introduced to a Detroit audience as "the
greatest possibility for the next presi-
deney of the United States" he asked
the people to resolve that their greatness
remain unlimited and unsullied, insist
ing that they retain their greatness for
themselves. He wants it for America
and Americans.
There il way to do this. II can be
done by taking advantage OF next NOV
ing day. IL should not be difficult for
the senator to have this country trans.
ferred to another planet which it can oc-
cupy all by itself and in which it can
enjoy monopoly of everything unlimit.

have to nurse boom 1t would thrive

RE-EDUCATION AND
INDEPENDENCE NOT
INCOMPATIBLE
The Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation Encourages the Disabled
Soldiers to Be Dependent
By Retaining.

Washington, D. c., July 23--Disabled
men with sense of independence, often
have a mistaken idea of the govern
ment's motives in offering them training.
Vocational officers spend hours in set
ting such men straight, but in the end
they realize that it is in the performance
of duty and not in a spirit Of benev-
olence that the scheme Of re-education
for disabled soldiers and sailors and ma
rines has been perfected. Mike 0'Toole,
for ii years tunnel builder, before
entering the army, after receiving Sc
we're wound from high explosive shell,
came to one Of the district offices Of the
federal board for vocational education.
He scorned the idea of training, said he

pay him enough to support his mother

write, so he found Eight job" hard to

school to him, a receiving school where
he would be thrown with men of his own
age, HoJ chlluEeHi the NeacAeFs real
friend and helper was described to him;
the compensation he would receive while
training was explained to him. All Of
this opened Mikes eyes. He began to
realize that this offer was not one of
charity, it was his right, in addition his
mother would be more comfortable on
the allowance made by the government
than on the small amount he could make
in his weakened condition. Mike saw

BLAME is ON CONGRESS
For Reduction of the Army to Below
.325,ooo Men.

Washington, July 23.--Responsibility
for the announced reduction of the army
by Sept 80 below the $4,000 men au-
thorized by the national defense act was
placed on Congress yesterday by Secre-
tary of War Baker, who appeared before
the House military committee to discuss
general army legislation.
Congress did not give us enough mon
ey to permit holding together such an
army as we recommended" declared the
secretary, cor money enough for the
army authorized by law, You made APP
preparations for $4,000 men, and we
have over 100000 men now After Sept.
80, we must get down to 225,000 to keep
within our appropriations for this year, "
Questioned as to whether reduction in
the appropriations for the air service
would result in the practical abandon
ment of that service, Secretary Baker
said officers for the aviation corps would
be obtained by assigning to the corps
men appointed to the signal corps or to
the regular army vacancies.
Secretary Baker told Representative
James of Michigan that he could not say
when the soldiers of Siberia would be
brought home, as no policy for their re-
turn had been fixed.

The economic gain in the saving Of illu-
minants alone is prodigious.
The country owes to the president a
debt of gratitude for his refusal to be

of Congress, into foolish piece Of re-
action under the threat of political re-
taliation. We believe that 10 years from

DOUGHBOYS' BRIDES
GIVEN MUCH CARE


The Girls Spend About 10 Days in Camps
Especially for Them at st. Nazaire,
France-Many of the Girls
Have Never Been More
Than 20 Miles from
Home.
St Nazaire, France, July 23.-French
brides of American soldiers on their way
from France to their new homes in
America are entertained in the hostess
house here until they and their husbands
are ready to go on board a steamer.
Thus far, 81 Of these newly made Amer
lean wives have been taken care of in
this temporary home for brides.
The work of caring for them is con.
Quoted by the Young Women's Chris
tian association with five workers under
the charge of Miss Mary Fay. The house
was opened May l. and is located in
grove of trees outside the limits of the
mems camp.
The wives, many Of whom have never
been more than 20 miles from their
homes before, are met at the station
with an automobile and taken to the hos
tess house, where they are given thor
ough physical inspection, teeth exam
ined and any necessary work to be done
on them is here done. After this they
are given the opportunity to battle,
change their clothing and are assigned a
bed in one of the spick and span DOR
mitories. Their life from then on until
the time they board the boat is chiefly
occupied in learning the English Ian
guage, sewing and exercises and recrea-
tions of various kinds in the mornings
and with their husbands in the after
moons.
Ten days Is the average time each girl
spends in this camp. From it she is
taken directly to the boat, where she
again meets her husband, he having been
transferred from his organization to a
casual company so that they can take
the same boat back. That the govern
ment is doing everything in its power to
make their life while still in the army
a happy one, is very evident.
A month ago it was estimated that
accommodations for So would be ample
for this camp. That was less than a
month ago To-day there are accommo-
dations for one hundred and twenty and
more barracks are being built. The 18th
cavalry alone brought 81 newly married
men and their wives. And now that the
service of supply troops are going
through here SO fast, it is suspected that
the hostess house may be swamped, for
these troops, unlike the combat troops,
