Copyright 1919, The International Syndicate. ~ HIS day is becoming one of the A most important of the days set A aside and dedicated to a special Sap purpose. Long before it was recognized by law it was observed in many places as the result of the agi- taGon of those who were determined 10 preserve our trees. not only for their beauty, but for their usefulness as sources of and reservoirs of nature for productive purposes.
 The American people are slow 10 realize the evil effects of some prac- tices which seem to be in keeping with the absolute right to do with what be- longs to one as one pleases. So 1t took time to be thoroughly aroused to the importance of planting moro trees and taking steps to again replace the Tavages of time due our virgin forests. But now the sentim ent is quite general and on the designated day in every part of the land something is done to replenlsh our trees and to impress upon the people the great benefits that will accrue to them through more attention to these cautiful and useful creations of nature.
 Some years ago a day was set aside by the legislatures Of most of the States of tho United States for the

 Did you ever think that you were on @ new time schedule after you once got started last spring on the Daylight Saving scheme? Of course not. And yet what a nice long time you had after office hours in which to enjoy yourself in one way or another. "The wisdom of the daylight saving law is a thousand times manifest" was the comment of one editor; and another recently said: Having profted so pronoUncedly from our first summer of the plan, we should make it a GUS tom through the years to come, after it's originating necessity has passed" A third wrote: "We will have many lessons out of <he war, but none bet ter than that of more daylight It is doubtful if there is a citizen who has not, by the example of last summer, been won over to the plan of more daylight
 On account of the millions to be fed in Europe and all over the world this year, of course, most importance ought to be attached to the value of daylight saving because of what can be done in the way of greater food production. Nobody has ever been able to dispute the wisdom of old Ben Franklin when he said, in one of his Poor Richard proverbs:
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-03-26
'Early to bed and early to rise
 Makes a man, healthy and wise.' g

In addition to the numerous other ideas and projects of which he was the originator, Franklin seems to have been the first to call attention to the value of daylight saving. Of course, it was not adopted in his day. IL was 134 years after Franklin wrote before daylight saving became a reality.

concerning maritime
patents

Numerous inventions produced by Uncle
Sans staff, under stress of war need, will
contribute in many instances, according to
an authoritative journal, to quicken and
cheaper processes of manufacture in a wide
range of industries. Illustrative of these
net gains from the war are the new styles
Of kilns for wood. Ordinarily, in this coun-
try, oak and other stock for manufactures,
such ~ vehicles, was air dried, requiring .
period of from two to three years. Experts
Of the United States forest service invented
kilns and evolved improvements in the
process that bid fair to revolutonize drying
practice. By the use of the new equipment
oak can be dried with q much smaller per-
centage Of loss in kilns than in the open air,
and the period of drying reduced from two
to three years to two to three months.
Other patents cover a gravity fruit separ-
ator, processes for the preservation of
fruit juices, an ingenious sirup evaporation,
a new leavening agent, a simpler acetylene
generator for travelling Photographic work
rooms, q proposed standard for dry cells, a
new type of porcelain for spark plugs, an
airplane camera, nonshatterable glass, vari-
Gus protective coatings for inside and out

ZIHLMAN, COMMITTEE
MEMBER, IS NEIGHBOR
Maryland Representative Has Per
sonal Interest in Washington,

Representative Frederick N. Zihl-
man. who has just been assigned to
the District committee of the Sixty
Sixth Congress. has the distinction of
being closest to Washington" of any
member of the next House.
He represents the sixth district of
Maryland. which borders two sides of
the National Capital and comprises
Cumberland county. There are more
government workers from his district
engaged here than in any other poll
tical subdivision of State and he
thus has a personal interest in the
welfare of Washington since it affects
his constituency.
In addition to service on the Dis
trict committee. he will be chairman
of the Committee on Expenditures in
the Postoffice Department, and will
serve on the Labor Committee, and the
Committee on Insular Affairs.

The Herald's Weekly Sermonette
THE VALUE OF PRAYER.
By REV. WILLIAM JOSEPH MEEKs,
Pastor Union Methodist Episeepal Church.

What is prayer? Bishop Phillips
Brooks once defined it as "A wish
turned Godward." That is prayers
first value, the outreaching of the
human spirit after God. in which
effort the sout finds an uplift of
life. Too often and long are the de-
sires of the heart centered upon the
sordid things of life. until man is
depressed and discouraged-and. 1t
may be, soiled and weakened there
by. For this condition prayer is a
great antidote. For the gaze of the
soul turned Godward secures the
uplift Of the whole life.
The instinct to pray is universal.
History shows that no race has yet
been found which did not believe
in and pra ctice habits of prayer.
Crude and ignorant may have been
the approach to the God of all, yet
the longing of the heart for the In
finite Father was manifest. This
suggests that the reality and neces-
sity of prayer is a fact and a law
OF life and not. an act of religious
fanaticism born of any cause what
soever. save OF mans deepest need.
So, we conclude that the man who
prays Is true to his best self and is,
perhaps unconsciously. seeking to
fulfill the divine purpose on his be-
half.
To whom shall we go as an au-
thoritative source on value of
prayer? Surely not to the hyper
critic, the unbeliever, the material
ist. nor the goddess man. These are
UNIT to Judge or instruct in a realm
of which they are ignorant For the
philosophy of this intangible force
we turn to such as those who have
tested and proved the value thereof.
The aged apostle John gives 1t in a
single sentence: And this is the
confidence that we have in him (the
Son of God) that IL we ask anything
according to His will, He heareth
US"
For the reality of this philosophy
of prayer we will turn to those men
whose lives have been made radiant
and powerful in character and serv-
ice-made so amid untoward sur
roundings, because they trod the
path of prayer with unfailing regu-
larity. Men like Isaiah and Paul of
the Bible, and such as Franc,s
Xavier. Melville Cox. Chinese Cor
don and William Grenfell, of Labra-
dor. These men achieved the impos-
sible, and prayer, according to their

At the Ninth Street Christian
Church, Ninth and D streets north
east, there will be a special service
of recognition to the returned SOL
diers tomorrow night. Each of the
los men who have gone out from
this church wilr receive public
recognition upon their return and
each will be. presented with a
worthy token. a gift of the church
in honor of their service. All who
are now in the city will attend on
Sunday night and have special seats
reserved. There will be a special
musical program led by the church

own testimony. was their mightiest
weapon for the pulling down of
great strongholds.
In the tragedy of the great world
war the value of prayer has been
learned anew. Letters from the chap
lains at the front line in France tell
how the boys, when preparing for
the attack on the enemy, would say
in the midst of preparations for the
advance into danger and death:
Chaplain, can we have a bit of
prayer" On hearing the answer,
Yes" the reply would come in CRATE
full accents, I'm glad; it helps"
But prayer helps not only when the
soul faces danger and death-ah, in
deed, nothing else helps then-but
likewise prayer is valuable for the
less spectacular hours of stress and
strain.
No need to resort to drugs that in
jure; learn to practice the habit of
confiding prayer. For the habit of
life that is an expression of mans
deepest need, that leads to the ave-
nues of moral power: that makes for
tranquility of soul and for courage
and victory of spirit in life's supreme
tests is of all habits most valuable.

Americans Concerned In
Anti-Nipponese Out
break at Tientsin.

Anti-Japanese demonstrations oc-
curing in Tientsin. China. and
Seoul, Korea, were reported to the
State Department yesterday. Amer
lean soldiers are said to have par
ticipated in the outbreak in Tient-
sin. their opponents being Japanese
policemen and civilians.
Minister Reinsch at Peking cabled
the report of the Tientsin affair, but
gave only meager details. He has
advised the State Department that
First Secretary Spencer has been
sent from Peking to Tientsin to in
vestigate.
Acting Secretary Polk of the State
Department declined to discuss the
matter last night in the absence of
a full report from the minister.
State Department Lacks Details
Secretary Polk said he was not in a
position to deny or affirm the report
that Americans in uniform had raided
the Japanese Consulate in Tientsin and
wounded the japanese Consul. If this
had been done, II was pointed out, 1t
will compel an apology from the
United States for violation of the Con-
sulate of a friendly power and punish
ment of those guilty.
The demonstration in Seoul against
the Japanese was a protest by Ko-
reans against restrictions on freedom
of speech, right of petition and use OF
the Korean language in the schools.
The trouble originated with the cir
culation of a document signed by
thirty-two Koreans containing attacks
upon the japanese government and
declaring the independence of Korea.
Parades were broken up by japanese
police.

LEAGUE TO COMBAT
LYNCHING CONSIDERED
Miss Ovington Says Lawlessness Is
Responsible for Violence.

That a movement is on foot to form
league to combat lynching was the
declaration of Miss Mary White
Ovington, chairman of the board OF
directors of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, at a meeting in Fifteenth Street
Presbyterian Church, Fifteenth and r
streets northwest.
Negroes are not lynched because
they are rich or poor or because of
their crime, but from, an element OF
lawlessness that exists in the parts OF
the country whore lynchings occur"
