Daylight Saving on the Farm.

To the Editor or The Star
Seeing in the papers that the day
Iight-saving system is about to go
into effect again, 1 would like to
give my views on the subject as per-
taining to the farmer. l don't know
whether those who hrst introduced
the system ever were on a farm or
not. II they had been. 1 don't think
they would have advocated the time
change Take the dairy section of
the country for instance. Under the
old system the farmer has to get
up at o'clock in order to get his
milk to the station. But as soon
as the daylightsaving system goes
in effect he is required to get up
at o'clock, requiring an additional
expense of one hour more oil light
a good item for the Standard Oil
Company, not to mention the rest
taken from the farmer. When 5
o'clock pm. comes, which means
stops the team and does his few
chores and sits down whether the
farmer has hay or grain in the field
If shower comes up it matters
nothing to the hand" 1t is his quit
ting time and he quits. If Congress
would stop and study these subjects
it would be doing the farmers. who
are the backbone of the country,
some good, as the farmer works from
daylight to dark under the old sys-
TEN. and to require him to get up
an hour earlier is a gross injustice.

Middleton-Lennox Recital

A large audience manifested genu-
inc appreciation of the recital of Ar
thur Middleton, the noted oratorio
singer and bass baritone of the Met
ropolitan Opera, and Miss Elizabeth
Lennox, a young contralto of charm
at the New National Theater yester-
day afternoon at the eighth concert
of the T. Arthur Smith Ten-Star Sc
ries. Mr.. Middleton's splendid voice
is too well known to need description
to the concert patron in Washington.
He gave his audience varied pro-
gram of song, including the aria,
"Arm. Arm. Ye Brave" with recita-
tive, Il Feel the Deity Within,' from
Judas Maccabeus," by Handel. but it
was perhaps in his matchiess senti-
mental numbers. HawIey's Noon and
Night" sung as an encore; McDer-
mid's ''Sacra ament, Uncle Rome" by
Homer, and THE Dawn CT an Indian
Sky by Ward Stephens. and in the
stirring patriotic number, The Amer
leans Come" by Foster, that he made
his strongest appeal. These numbers.
especially the sentimental ones, were
exquisite, while the last thrilled the
audience to an outburst of genuine
enthusiasm.
Miss Lennox is a newcomer to Wash
ington. She has n cha rming person
and sympathetic appeal, la cking. only
perhaps, in power and volume. She
quickly won her audience, which was
generous in its applause and sympa-
thetic throughout. There was moth
ing of the I-know-it-alI or I-have-it-
all to her manner, but a modest and
withal artistic entertainment of sweet
song to her program that finds it's
strongest appeal to those who are
content to rest while from the ag-
gressive in music as in other things
