Speaker GIILErT had said In favor Of
the resolution, Mr.. CLARK added
"There are LAT members Of the vari

Daylight Saving Education.

The first thing the Daylight Saving
Association should do in Its campaign
to save for us the summer hour we
gain under the operation of the Fed
eral statute enacted last year is to
collect the facts on which the strong
opposition to the law among farmers
Is based and examine them dispas-
sionately and sympathehcally. Once
these are understood-and the farm
ers' complaints still puzzle and per-
pick advocates of daylight saving who
have tried to get to the bottom of
them-it should be possible to over
come the opposition.
Daylight saving has proved a great
boon to millions of Americans. These
benefciaries Of the new order are en-
titled to consideration. Their com
fort and welfare is worthy Of protec-

reasonable Incomes and the ferocious
focdprices Of to-day which, the higher
their wages and incomes are inflated,
tile less the American people can
stand. e al h
There are dozens Of. men In Con
gress sane enough and intelligent
enough to see this economic truth as
THE Sun sees II and has tried to make
others see It since the signing Of the
armistice nine months ago. Are there
no men In Congress Of enough genuine
public spirit. OF enough plain political
honesty, to declare that truth and
hight for that truth, as THE SUN has
fought for It and Is going to 90 on
fighting for IT.
Is there nobody in Congress who
will lay the blame for this whole mass
Of food price imitation, this whole
structure of high cost Of living, at
the door where 1t belongs-the White
House7 For, as you have Just seen,
II all begins with grain.
It Is grain which you pay for when
you buy your chops and steaks, your
milk and butter, your eggs and cheese,
at terrific prices. 1t Is grain which
you pay for when you buy your coat
or your hat or your shoes at terrific
prices It 10 grain which you pay for
when you buy your inflated passenger
ticket or your theatre ticket. It lie
grain which you pay for when you
buy a high priced cradle for your
baby coming into the world. It is
grain which your family will pay for
when II buys your high priced coffin to
send you out Of the world. 1t Is
grain which causes 1t all, because the
dear grain makes the dear food which
makes the dear wage which makes
the dear everything.
And It. Is Mr.. WILSON'S Food Ad-
ministration which, making dear
wheat, makes the dear corn, which
makes the dear food Of all kinds. It
Is Mr.. WILSON'S Food Administration
which does this by holding wheat back
from tho American people, doing It
out at famine prices to show a Treas
ury profit, when there Is and win be
more wheat in this country by hun
dreds of millions Of bushels than
Under the normal conditions of free
wheat market would be worth burn
Ing up for fuel.
There is talk here, there and every
where Of investigating the packers.
Investigating the cold storage people,
investigating the profiteers, investi-
eating this, that and the other thing.
Go ahead with such work, by all
means, for what little 1t may help.
But the fiat truth Of this terrific
crisis Is that only the investigating
which begins with the Washington Ad-
ministration will knock the bottom out
Of the wickedly and dangerously high
cost Of living.

SURPRISING CRIME.
A Raid BY the Police on the Bootblacks
Of City Hall Park.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir. Your
editorial article ''Wili Nobody Protect
the Policef' in which you recorded that
"the police have reported to the police
the theft of automobiles which are sup
posed to be used only by Police Depart
ment men-Inspector Henry and Deputy
Commissioner Wallis" and referred %
the nurse girl who was blaclc5aciced In
Prospect Park and the steamboat ticket
agent who was robbed OF $4,000" put me
In mind OF an incident which occurred in
City Hall Park few days ago. It was
evidence that the police OF the lower part
OF the city are very active indeed, al
though eye witnesses were not convinced
that these activities would prove efica-
cious in putting an end to loft robberies
and other forms OF crime practised in
our fair city.
On the afternoon referred to. when
the little bootbiacks who infest the park
were basking in the sun or shooting
craps with one eye open for prospective
customers, the tranquility was suddenly
disturbed by the appearance OF a num-
Der OF plainclothes men Those who
watchel the sleuthlike actions of the
men wondered what was IN the air. The
police were active at last and one al
most expected to see the violators Of the
law rise up and fee before the advanc-
ing guardians Of the town.
Spectators had not long to wait before
their curiosity was satisfied. The plain
clothes nsen swooped down on the unsus-
pecting boy bootblacks disarmed them
of their backing boxes and carried them
to the sub-station in the City Hall. The
pile Of boxes made an imposing sight
and gave evidence that at last the po-
lice had started on n crusade TO ersdi-
cate crime.
Then. Just to show the good citizens
that all branches OF the force were CO.
operating in the crusade. q patrol wagon
drove up to the curb and the boxes were
piled in and driven away. w.

OVAL LENSES DON'T TURN.
The Objection to Tortoise Shell Spec.
Gle Frames Easily Remedied.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE suN-Sr: 'TA
W." in his letter does not quite Accu-
rately state the adverse comments made
at the recent Atlantic City convention
OF the American Medical Association on
tortoise shell glasses. Tho criticism
was directed to the round lenses. not
TO the tortoise she'll frames.
Round lenses are liable to slip and
turn. thus materially changing the OPP
teal balance of the lens with relation
to the way the rays OF light enter the
eye through the lens. Cementing the
LEM to the rim does not seem to be a
sure preventive of this turning Of the
lens. when the latter IL rubbed In the
process OF cleaning nor have the frame
makers thus far generally introduced
any device by which a round lens win
be firmly anchored to the rim OF the
freme.
There are no such objections to oval
shaped lenses In tortoise shell frames
they cannot turn in the frames And
II requires only a slight ovalling of the
lens to overcome that serious defect of
the round lens. II. NJ O.
