DAYLIGHT SAVING DIES.

The news that the Daylight Saving act after hav-
ing been kept the statute books by two vetoes of
President Wilson, had at last been definitely killed by
the house and senate overriding the veto, came with
great satisfaction to many, and regrets to many others
There isn't the slightest doubt that large part
of our national population against the act just
there were millions in favor of it. But the opposition
was largely confined to the farming districts and what
that the farmer wants-and wants badly enough-he
uay gets And perhaps, after all that the better
for the farmer is the upon whose shoulders rests
the responsibility for producing practically everything in
the way of the necessities of life required by mankind
And despite the value of the arts and sciences and the
many other things that go to make life worth while,
the physical necessities first
The farmers of the great west were solidy against
the act They said that the law extremely expen-
to them and to the nation in food production They
argued that with shortage of farm labor already acute,
the law shortened the work day hour, which was
made up and for which they had to pay just the
same. They declared that the farm hand works only
limited number of hours just the city aborer with
fixed time for beginning and for quitting; that many
kinds of farm activities impossible in the early
morning when the dew is heavy, and that to have the
report for work an hour earlier than under the
old scheme of time meant hour wasted
The city laborers in many cases protested against
law because they sad it made them arise too early
Some city employers said it resulted in decreased eff
ciency on the part of their factory other hands
that, while the workers had to arise hour earlier
than before they did not retire hour earlier and
consequently did get the necessary amount of sleep
to keep them in good mental and physical condition.
Such were the arguments against the act, and they
arguments born of actual experience with the
measure Against them placed the theories of in
hours for gardening the part of the day la
borer clerk or office man. and the opportunity for in
creased recreation in the sunlight hours and the
and the argument that since worked well for the
nation and the world during the war, it would prove
just as valuable although less essential in an emerg
ency sense, during the
Both of Georgia's senators voted to override the
Presidents veto of the repeal measure and there is
no doubt but that they represented the majority of
sentiment of their in this action in disagreeing
with the President. The mes-Recorder has been a
supporter of the Daylight Saving law and still believes
that the nation would be better off, from every stand
point if it should remain the statute books and be
observed But that is only an opinion and the great
bulk of the people who have tried it have indicated they
do not want it.
Wen go back to the old scheme of things in Oc-
tober and then those of who object to early rising
may indulge an extra hour each morning.

Experts or Theorists
Which?

Tho packing industry is intri-
cate, complex-far more so than
the railroads or the telegraph.
Every day multiplying needs
of society increase it's problems
and multiplying responsibilities
demand more of it
Highly trained experts, spec
ialists of years experience,
thinkers and creative men, de-
vote their lives, their energies,
their activities, to solving the
problems ofthe packing industry
and meeting its widening duties
Swift & Company is not few
dozen packing plants, a few
hundred branch houses, few
thousand refrigerator cars, and
a few million dollars of capi-
tai, but an organization of such
men. It is the experience, in
telligence, initiative and activity
which operates this physical
equipment.
Can this intelligence, this ex-
perience, this initiative and cre-
ative effort which handles this
business at a profit of only
fraction of a cent per pound from
all sources, be fostered through
the Intervention of political
theorists, however pure their
purposes? Or be replaced by
legislation? =? Does Congress really
think that it can?

Ladybirds for France.

Southern California has, during re-
cent years. been credited with leading
all other sections of the United States
in developing natural methods of COM
batting insect pests. Among these Is
the ladybird the tiny red bug which
feeds on plant insects. Millions OF
these bugs, propa gated In the Califor-
MIA nurseries, are now being sMppeu
overseas to France, where they VIII be
incubated until spring and released to
do their part in destroying noxious IN
sects. Great stretches of land in SOUTH
ern France have been untitled during
the war, and it is expected that verl-
Gus pests will be greatly in evidence.

Freaks of Fashion.

The crinolines of the reign of Louis
Napoleon had prototypes in remote al

devised an equivalent of the hoopsklrt

some future time. Only a few years
ago the high waists and sheath gowns
which women Of fashion affected were
hailed as novelties, but the instigators
of them had borrowed the idea from
Nine. Recamier. She, says Roger
Boutct de Marvel, was inspired by thu
Creeks and Romans. In the eighties
there was a fashion among men Of
wearing trousers that made many Of
them resemble skeletons. But In the

ed that our ancestors "wore clothes
so tight to ye skin that 1t might well

A HOMEMADE DOLLS HOUSE.
BY HllDA CUSiCk.

A friend of mine entered her five
year-old son in a kindergarten. She
took him there every day. and once in
a while stayed with her three-yearold
daughter to visit. Noticing that the
children were happy because they were
busy with work which appealed to
them, and that the dolls house was
frequently the center Of attraction,
she decided to allow her little ones TO
make house at home. So for 20 cents
two wooden egg boxes were secured
from the grocer, amid much excite
ment on the part of the children.
The boxes were taken straight to
the children's corner, and 1t was de-
cided that work should be done on
them on rainy days only. and that the
children were to do all the work II
possible.
At their dictation, mother made a
fist Of the things they intended to do:
Paint the outside Of the boxes white:
make curtain across the front: have
q kitchen, dining room. sitting room
and bedroom; paper the rooms; make
rugs for the floors. and make furniture
for the different rooms. The next thing
to do was to prepare Q list Of the va.
rious materials needed: Paint, paper,
scissors. thumb tacks. cardboard boxes.

Naming the Fingers.
Baby points to each finger as de-
tcribed. In this game he becomes ac-
quainted with his hands, his fingers,
himself.
This is little Tommy Thumb,
Round and smooth as any plum.
This Is busy Peter Pointer;
Surely he's double-jOinter.
This is mighty Toby Tally;
He's the biggest one of all.
This is dainty Reuben Ring;
He's too fine for anything.
And this little wee one, maybe,
Is the pretty Finger-baby.
All the five we've counted now,
Busy fingers In a row,
Every finger knows the way
How to work and how to play;
Yet together work they best,
Each one helping all the rest.
Laura e. Richards.
The Greeting.
Baby's hands are held up, facing
each other, and do as hidden. In this
little game. baby advances from know
ing to willing, and his fingers are his
tools, to be u,ed for a definite pur
pose.
Thumbs and fingers say, Good morn
ing,
IT'S very Pleasant day;
Little pointers bow politely,

While the rese with joyful greeting,
All their little friends are meeting.

The Family.

up, first one and then the other. and
beginning with the thumb. In this
game, baby becomes acquainted with
the world Just Immediately outside
himself.
This is the loving mother,
Always good and dear;
This is the busy father,
Brave and full Of cheer:
This is the merry brother,
Grown so strong and tall;
This is the gentle sister,
This is the baby small;
And here they all together meet,
This whole glad family complete
Here's grandpapa and grandmamma,
And father, too, and mother,
With baby wee, one family;
Oh, how they love each other.
The aunt and uncle now we see,
And little cousins, one-two-three;
And this good family is found
In happy love together bound.
