DAYLIGHT LAW REPEAL
PROPOSAL IS DELAYED
House Committee Will Hear Opin-
ions Tomorrow on Effect on
Contracts in New York.

Refusal Of the House rules commit
tee to act Immediately on a request
that privileged status be given the
proposed repeal of the daylight saw
ing law. a rider on the agricultural
bill, delayed consideration Of the pro-
posal today in the House. The COM
mittee postponed action until tomor-
row, when it will hear the attorney
general Of New York whether the repeal
would affect legal contracts in that state.
The daylight-saving law is in dam
of New York, the author of the act,
owing to the persistent demand of
farmers that the law be repealed.
Senator Calder said today that mil
lions of persons living in the cities
and towns of this country have bene-
fitted under the daylight saving law,
and that many Of the farmers are not
opposed to it, in spite of the agitation
which is now going on. He will do all
in his power to block the attempt to
repeal the law, he said.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce today sent letters to each mem
be not repealed. The labor organiza-
lions throughout the country, it was
reported from other sources, are rail-
lying to the support of the daylight
saving law.
Senator Calder suggested that it
would be much more desirable for the
farmers who are now opposing the
law. to try to adjust their working
conditions to the daylight saving
law instead Of merely demanding a
return of the old order.

ZOO j, S. WATCHMEN
SOON OUT OF SERVICE
Those Appointed for War Period
Without Certfcation Must
Qualify to Keep Jobs.

At the instance of the Civil Service
Commission, about 200 watchmen en-
ployed by the superintendent of the
State, War and Navy building in
guarding temporary buildings in the
Mall and elsewhere in this city dur
ing the war. will be dropped from
the rolls in few weeks.
They are now on leave of absence,
on the expiration of which they will
be discharged unless they qualify by
civil service examination.
Capt. Hoover, assistant superinten-
dent. said that these men are ITEM
porary" employees and were appointed
under war conditions without the
customary civil service certification
and without reference to previous
honorable service in the Army. Navy
or Marine Corps. None of the watch
men in the superintendent's Office who
were regularly appointed through the
civil service. or who have had service
in the military branches of the gov
eminent, will be disturbed. There
are about 400 in that class.
In calling for the discharge of the
| Temporary" watchmen, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission said that, il the gov
eminent interests required it, they
would be replaced by an equal number
of men who are qualified through civil
service examination. preference as
usual being given to honorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines.
Capt. Hoover said that. as it is prob
able several more buildings will be
placed in the charge Of his Office by
action of Congress, there may be an
increase rather than decrease in the
present force Of watchmen, now num-
bering about 600, Notwithstanding the
prospective discharge Of about 200 of
those on the temporary roll. All of
the non-certified watchmen booked for
dismissal will be given an opportu-
nifty to qualify for reappointment I'M

Canada,s Representation.

Canada's future course in the matter
of separate representation in this coun-
try is delicate one for Americans to
handle. 1t is dangerous even for them ia
express any very decided opinion in the
matter because of the extreme probable.
ity that such an expression, even of the
most friendly kind, would occasion re-
sentiment in Great Britain. While the
home Britishers admit that the people
Of the self governing dominions have the
right and the power to 60 their own way
to degree almost unlimited, when the
realm Of international relations is en-.
tered they are very sensitive.
The matter is really one between the
home country and Canada. Until it is
thoroughly threshed out and decided be-
tween them, and Canada makes def
mite proposition to Washington, it does
not become us to NEEDLE. Americans
should wait developments, being pre-
pared to cooperate fully in making any
arrangement a complete suceess.--De-

THE BIG JOB.
Will Be Control of venereal Diseases in
Every State.

The control of venereal disease win
head the health program in practically
every state in the union for the coming
year.
This was determined at two.day con-
ference of state and territorial health
officers with the United States public
health service officials in Washington
last week, the first meeting of the kind
since the United States government Off
cially declared war on venereal diseases.
The conference was doubly important.
1t showed for the first time that state
health officers have recognized veneral
diseases as menace of prime impor-
tance and have determined to relieve the
public health service of large part Of
the work by shouldering their share Of
the burden. 1t also revealed the re-
markable progress already made in most
of the states in establishing clinics and
getting machinery in readiness to make
the crusade permanent.
The conference was remarkable for the
unanimity of thought One by one, the
secretaries or commissioners of the state
boards of health reported the activities
in their state. II was at once apparent
that each state was doing its utmost
with the facilities available and had
won the hearty support of legislatures
and promises of appropriations with
which TO continue the work. 1t was also
evident that each state board of health
had placed venereal diseases at the head
of the list of dangerous, communicable
ailments, and decided to control it.
There was, of course, some difference
of opinion as to the method Of attack
some limitations in power due to differ
ences in legislation in various states, but
from the most progressive, prosperous
commonwealth to the small, almost rural
state, there was predominating
thought, 1t was that venereal diseases
will be battled and controlled.

aTHE OTHER ROBIN
She Made Long, Lone Flight to Rejoin
Her Mate.

Montreal, as most people know, is
blessed with long, cold winters. The
snow covers the ground for about five
months, while the thermometer is often
down below zero. Consequently all the
song birds leave early in the autumn
and do not return till toward the end OF
April or the beginning of May. OF
course the English sparrow stays, for the
sparrow can live, it seems, in any eli
mate. The crow and the flicker also
stay, but they cannot be classed as
song birds"
This winter il was surprise for one
to see a robin feeding on the dried ber-
ries which still hang on the Virginia
creeper which covers part of our house,
We wondered at first what had kept him
from flying off with all the other robins
last October, at which time we often see
large flocks making their annual migra-
tion south, but we soon found that one
of his wings had been injured, and this
had no doubt been the reason for his en-
forced stay.
He must have found some very warm
shelter in which to spend the nights
land ! assure you We have had one or
two very cold onesl, although the win
/ ter on the whole, haa BEEN very mild
for Montreal. We could not but pity
our robin, for we knew he m ast be very
lonely, with only the sparrows, who are
his "sworn enemies" for company. The
robins and the sparrows, 1t is sad to re-
late, fight all summer long. One morn
ing about Christmas time we saw for
the first time the injured robins mattel
The two were having very substantial
breakfast of berries. Since the return Of
the "other robin" we often see them
feeding togethrA
Now the most interesting part of my
story is the fact that the .'other robin
came all the way back from the South
Heretofore we always thought that rob-
ms did not remain mated after the young
birds had been fiedged. We knew that
the old nest was never reoccupied, and it
seemed natural that a new mate might
be chosen to make the new nest in the
far South after the long fight. tOuT
robins never build second nest in the
season. And then also. as the fiocks
going south number hundreds. it would
seem likely that mates might get sep
arated by miles and miles, and never
find each other again We know now,
however, that robins remain mated, and
we also know that mated robins will
seek each other, even going hundreds OF
miles to do so.
At Christmas the long separated one
having appeared for the first time, ]
have no doubt that last October, when
the time came for the long southern
journey, and hundreds of robins congre-
gated the "other robin" few off with
the great flock, and did not miss her
mate till the end of the long journey
had been reached When she could not
find her mate, she must have started
north, probably flying over exactly the
same ground, searching every corner,
covering hundreds of miles. How far
she few may be roughly estimated by
the time it took to get back here. Ii

Assessing a Persons Valuation.

A verdict for 1913 900 was awarded the
widow Of Fred s. Platt, former clerk of
the federal court, in her suit against
the Boston & Maine, recently tried in
district court at Windsor. Another big
damage suit, with claim Of 100000, has
been brought in the same court by the
widow Of former Governor q. II. Prouty
against the Canadian Pacific and will be
tried at Newport, beginning July s. To
the law OF the mind there is something
incongruous in awarding very heavy
damages when persons rich or well-to-do
are killed by railroads and relatively
small damages in the case of person OF
limited means. One would saw offhand
that life was life, as valued in one
case as the other, and should be compen-
stated for on an equal basis, or perhaps
some might estimate poor man as more
valuable to his dependents, if he were
their sole support, than a rich man,
whose family were abundantly provided
with means and able TO get on finan-
cially without him. The courts, how
ever, have adopted the principle Of as
sessing'a persons valuation in such cases
according to his earning capacity, pres
ent and prospective, of which his depend
ents are deprived when he is removed
from life through fault of the common
carrier. This means generally that a
man Of property is appraised higher than
one Of less earning capacity. 1t does not
seem quite right, in all cases and these
big verdicts spread the current belief
that law somehow favors the rich instead
of the poor. The aggregate of personal
damage expenditures nowadays forms a
very considerable item in the outgo of
the heavily burdened railway companies.

IMPORTANT CHANGES
Are Proposed in Public Education al
Milwaukee Conference.

Milwaukee, Wis, June l6.-Proposed

association, said IL was hoped to develop
a program that would make certain the
building OF greater and more efficient
system of public education
I'VE are face to face with a great
crisis" he said. IF our profession is
true TO its obligation there must be
brought to pass great national associa.
ton of teachers conscious of its power
and able and willing to accept its re-
sponsibility in the development of a sys-
tenn of public education which will make
good the promise of democracy.
I'VE shall, because of the justice of
our cause, secure the enactment of that
legislation which will place depart
ment of education in our national gov.
eminent with secretary in the presi-
dents cabinet.
I'VE shall secure those appropriations
from Congress which will stimulate the
states to provide properly traiaed and
adequately paid teacher for every Amer
lean boy and girl; which shall encourage
the states in their pudeavor IN rpn,nve
illiteracy and Americanize the foreigners
who live among us; which shall provide
for the development of program of
physical education and which will work
in the direction OF providing equality of
educational opportunity throughout the
nation. We have faith in the response
which the people of our country will give
in support of our program"
