REPEAL. OF DAYLIGHT
SAVING AGAIN DEFEATED

For a second time the attempt to
repeal the daylight saving law has
failed in congress.
/ The first time the house passed the
agricultural bill containing clause
that repealed daylight saving, but
President Wilson vetoed the law, and
! the house failed to pass it over his
head.
Friday when a new agricultural bill
was voted ON, a rider providing for
the repeal of the daylight saving
clause was defeated, Republican oppo-
nents of repeal joining with Demo
Gratis in voting to eliminate the repeal
provision.
Immediately afterward, the agricul-
tural bill carrying $39,000,000, was
passed without dissenting vote.
The final vote on the repeal of day
light saving was 203 against repeal
to II for.
The senate, regarded as heavily in
favor of repeal, has now before it
house bill to repeal the daylight saw
ing law. The senate may pass and
send to the president the separate re-
peal measure.

money was given, incidentally, to help
the aged artist. The Toledo Art Mu-
scum paid $4,000 for his Brook by
Moonlight
He originally sold that picture for
$500, and it was near the highwater
mark in the prices he received for his
work. A ten or twenty dollar bill
was nearer the average recompense
for his labor.
His other "Moonlight," the one that
sold last for $500 he first took
under his arm, hoping to dispose of it
for $50. He was threatened with dis
possession for ncn-payment of rent
and his eighth child had just been
born. He was lucky. Eventually he
received $500 for the painting. How
ever, there was the other extreme Once
a junk dealer paid him s3.O3 for a
picture. Blakelock sold the entire con-
tents of his studio once for 800
Though he was worn down and
harassed by debts, he never seemed to
realize the value of money. When he
had it he was as apt to spend it for
an ornament as for the food his family
needed. Living on little or nothing,
worried, but wrapped always in his
art, he became more eccentric as time
went OH until finally the eccentricity
verged on madness, reached it and
passed the barrier. The Money he
valued so little came to stay in his
imagination. The hand that made the
Indians dance the pipe dance became
| fretful and useless.
Seventeen years away from the world
he stayed, forgetful and uncompre-
hending of the fame that came too late.
The story of his return is too recent
to repeat. The rift that came in his
couded reason, the hope that he might
return to the world sane man, that
he might even paint again is common
story But the truth is that in spite
of every care given him by his friends
and admirers Blakelock never was

were always with him. 1t is certain,

war cannot be reckoned solely
by the actual number of dead,
wounded and missing in the mill
tarytary records, according to Miss
Julia c. Lathrop, Of the Children's
Bureau, United States Department

to the general decrease in the birth
rate. In a speech before the an

Atlantic City, she declared:

sheer physical problem of child welfare.
The war has caused double loss of life.
The War Department estimates that the
war has cost nearly 7,4s2,200 battle
deaths, all suffered by Europeans, save
48,900 charged to the United States,
and most OF these nations lost two or
three times as heavily from disease
deaths as from battle action.
I'm addition, the reduction in the
lowered number of births was a vast
