DEFEAT OLD H. C.L
Cheapest Place in World to
Live on High Scale of
Pleasure.

AS surely as the hairs Of your head
are numbered, just as surely are your
days OF worry over the problem OF the
high cost of living solved If you will
but heed the advice of one who knows.

two-by-four apartment when you can

over the fact that bacon Is Sc cents a
pound when a full-grown turkey is only
one dollar?
There are very few French and no
Americans who do not know who and
what the United States marines are.
A marine Is supposed toRbe able to do
anything at any time and at any place,
apd he has never fallen down on his
job. Knowing these facts, 1t goes with
out saying that when the Information
comes from one of the ~leatherneck or
ganization 1t is based on fact.
Capt, Louis Il, Pagan, in charge Of
the Memphis recruiting district for the
marine corps, is authority for the state
longer a problem. This question that
has caused the president of the United
States to lay awake nights, caused the
wasting of untold volumes of breath by
the senate of this great nation and
caused thousands of ordinary men and
women to pawn their family heirlooms,
is so simple that everyone wonders why
he didn't think Of it himself.
But leave it to a marine to ravel
the Knotty problem.
Capt. Pagan was for a long time sta
toned in Haiti and held a captains
commission in the Haitian army, and
the captain very frankly says that all
duds and betake yourself to this re-
public of the West Indies.
During the time he was in Haiti,
Capt. Pagan lived in a beautiful bunga-
low situated in the foothills near one of
the larger towns, His home boasted a
two-acre garden in the rear where trop-
ical fruits grew in abundance. Rent Sc

For the services of a native cook
and the captain says she was an excel
lent one-who did all the marketing,
cleaning and other household duties, in
addition to her culinary efforts. he ex-
pended the sum of 80 per month. A
housemaid who assisted the cook drew
the munificent' sum of So per month,
while a small native boy to run errands
and perform chores sometimes received
so cents per month. Food for the SER
wants amounted to approximately 10
CENTS per day for each one.
Turkeys and chickens are plentiful
in Haiti, Capt. Pagan says, and the
current price is 81 for a turkey and 90
cents for a chicken. Grapefruit, alli-
gator pears, breadfruit, nisperos,
guavos. mangoes and many other native
fruits and nuts are never more than
penny each. If your bungalow has
a large garden Won grow all these things
yourself, or rather sit down and watch
them grow.

KILLS DAYLIGHT LAW
SENATE FOLLOWS HOUSE IN
PASSING REPEAL OVER VETO.
Hour Gained" in 1918 Will Be Perma-
nently Lost" in October
Ends Hot Fight.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Repeal Of the
daylight saving act has been accom-
plished. The senate voted to sustain
the house IN passing the repeal meas
ure over President Wilson's veto. The
vote was 81 TO 10.
The repeal of the law, which nov
takes its place among the very few
which have been passed over Il presi-
Dental veto, becomes effective after
the clocks are turned back TO normal
IN October. 1t will go down In legis-
lative history as one of the very few
measures which twice have been We
toed by Il president and become law by
the vote of more than two-thirds in
both houses of congress.
Agitation for repeal of the daylight
but recently was buttressed by labor
unions, mothers clubs, rural school au-
thorities and many other interests.
Urban opinion also became divided
and officials of many cities and small
er towns demanded repeal. Congress
was flooded with petitions for repeal
and with petitions urging retention of
the statute.
Loss of time in farm labor was the
principal objection raised TO the law.
This complaint came principally from
farmers employing hired hands"
The complaint Of loss of labor was
based principally on the shortening of
the working day on the farm by the
advancing of the clock one hour from
March to October.
The farmers declared they could not
adjust farm work TO the advanced
time because, with the clock advanced
an hour, farm work could not be begun
as early in the morning as under the
normal time schedule and must close
an hour earlier. This is because the
dew on the ground in the early morn
ing prevented blowing and other farm
labor under the advanced time sched-
ule.
