Woman Takes Advantage
OF All Opportunities
Miss Carroll Makes Them if
She Can't Find Them, En-
planning Success

The brown eyes of Miss Jane Car
roll fairly snap with enthusiasm as she
talks OF her work She is born pro
moter. That is how she happens to be
managing promotion for the American
Express Company. While it takes some
women years of 'toiling upward
through the night" to achieve business
success, her ascent was rapid and spec
tacular. She explains it briefly thus
Take advantage of every opportunity
that comes your way and where there
is no opportunity-m one"
She is q clever talker as we'll as an
original thinker. And she can hold her
own with men when it comes to bat
tie of wits. She represented the Amer
lean Express Company at the conven-
tion of the United States Chamber of
Trade Convention, held recently in
Chicago.
Part of Miss CAROLS work is edit
ing the Foreign Trade Bulletin" is
sued by the company. But the main
part of her time is devoted to working
out plans for bringing new business to
the various departments. There are
twenty-five branch Offices in Europe,
the Orient and South America. There
are 10000 foreign banking CORE
spondents and shipping correspondents
in the large commercial centres and
ports Of the world
Handling promotion for an organi-
cation so vast takes considerable in
genuity and initiative. And there ap-
pears to be no lack of either where
Miss Carroll is concerned.

Rules Committee of House
Refuses to Let Repeal
Slip In as Rider to the
Agricultural Nj G asure
Demand an Open Hearing
Senate Committee Has Too
Much Other Work to
Get to 1t Until October

WASHINGTON, May 3O-The extra
hour of daylight provided by the day
light saving act Will not be eliminated
during the present summer Advocates
OF the new time system made this
confident assertion to-day following
the action of the House Rules Com
mittee in declining to report special
rule giving the daylight savings re-
pealer a parliamentary status as a
rider to the agricultural appropriation
bill
Before reaching a final decision on
the. special rule requested in the
Agriculture Committee, Chairman
Campbell of the Rules Committee con-
ferred to-day with the Republican
steering committee. Upon the advice
OF the latter committee. the Rules
Committee held that the daylight saw
ing repeater should De brought into
the House in an orderly way, as
separate resolution.
The Steering Committee felt that it
would not be we'll for the Republican
Congress to offend the residents of in
dustrial centres at the very beginning
by clearing the way for jamming the
Iepealer through. BY allowing for
hearings on the repeater as separate
measure, it was felt that rural r-si-
dents, who are clamoring for the abo-
Auon of daylight saving, would be
given no cause for complaint
Hearings To Begin Monday
Chairman Esch of the House Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee announced to-day that hearings
upon his resolution dscontinung day
hight saving by turning the clocks for
ward at Il. nj. on the third Sunday
following its approval by both Houses,
would begin before his committee on
Monday. Representatives OF the United
States Chamber of Commerce, who are
opposed to the repeal, will be the first
10 be heard.
Friends of daylight saving said to-
day that the hearings before the House
Committee would be so comprehensive
that the repeal resolution would not be
likely to come up for action in the
Lower House inside of month. When
the resolution is reported. however,
there IS no doubt of its approval by the
: House by large majority.
The repeater then will 90 to the
Senate, where it Will encounter further
7aelay. 1t will be referred 10 the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee. This
committee mas more work ahead Of it
than any other committee of the SEN
ate. In addition to farming legislation
for the return of the telegraph and
telephone facilities Of the country to
their private owners, the Interstate
Commerce Committee will have charge
OF all railroad legislation, including
that for the safeguarding Of the car
rlers after the properties are returned
to private ownership.
1t is unlikely that the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee will find
tine to consider the daylight saving
repeal before the end of the summer.
BEFORE IL acts this committee also
must hold extensive hearings.
May Not Act Before October
1t is believed by supporters of the
daylight saving system that October
vii have arrived and the present day
light saving period have come to an
end before the Senate will get chance
70 act on the repeal resolution.
In the meantime it is understood thct

organizations to fight the repeal will
have been formed in practically all the
large industrial centres of the country
and that they will bring pressure to
bear upon Congress to continue the
system through the summer of 1920
and thereafter. How successful this
effort will be cannot at this time be
predicted.
The House Agricultural Committee,
in spite of adverse action of the Rules
Committee, has not yet lost hope, and
Chairman Haugen announced to-day
that he Will make an effort to have the
repeater considered when the agricul-

the War Department in 1904 de-
claring against the navigability of
the river north of the Maryland line.
Up to that time the Susquehanna
was a public highway under act of
Congress, but in 1913 General Bixby,
then Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army,
declared that the former decision
was merely departmental ruling
and the question had not been ad-
judicated by the courts. AS early
as his speech on the subject in 1914
Mr.. Moore declared that the i'm
provement of the Susquehanna
river was an important question en-
tering into the cost of living, hav-
ing special reference to the cheape
ing of the transportation cost of
fuel. He contended in his discus
sion of the matter before Congress
that any action removing the Sus-
quehanna river north of the Mary
land line from the jurisdiction of
the War Department was unfair and
ought to be revoked and that the
arbitrary closing of the river at Nc
Calls Ferry should be promptly un-
done by compelling the power COM
pany to install n lock or other pas
sageway for navigation.
Mr.. Moore's bill declaring the
Susquehanna and it's tributaries
navigable was introduced October
%, 1913, and the foregoing speech
to which allusion has been made was
in support of this measure. He
thought the river should be made
navigable for the people from it's
headwaters to the Chesapeake Bay
and under date of June s, 1914. the
final ruling was made restoring the
Susquehanna to the jurisdiction of
the War Department so that no dams
or bridges could be built without
consent of the government. In this
decision it was practically deter
mined that the consent of Congress
under existing law must be OBJ
tanned for the construction of a
dam or bridge across the river.
Study of Project
Replying to a letter from the Tele-
graph requesting his views on the
impending survey of the Susque-
hanna river by the engineers of the
some interesting information we'll
worth the study of all interested in
the big proposition:
Dear Mr.. Stackpole: Answering
your favor of July % with regard
to the proposed survey of the Sus-
Quehanna river, | would advise YOU
that along with Congressman Griest
and Kreider l am very much inter
ested in this proposition. My in
terest dates back to the organization
of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association which stands for the
development of our transportation
system and for the proper and wise
utilization of our interior water
ways. Several times l have spoken
on the subject of the Susquehanna
with regard to the advisa bility of a
survey to ascertain whether the
river could be made navigable by
canaliZation or otherwise. This
question is n live one, particularly
because the river is completely shut
off at McCall's Ferry where there
should be at least lock to permit
vessels to pass up and down. The
government. of course, moves slow
ly in undertaking great projects
Like this. But if Harrisburg could
be made a. seaport by the improve
ment of the Susquehanna river or
that improvement should be car
ried north into the coal fields of
Pennsylvania, and up to some of the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-08-01
NAVIGABLE RIVER
DUE PENNSYLVANIA
[Continucd from First Pagc.l

it irrigates some of the richest farm
lands in the United States and
courses through the great anthra-
cite coal fields.
In these speeches and in his later
discussion of the inland water
ways Mr. Moore shows a familiarity
with the Susquehanna river and its
possibilities which justifes his
leadership in the development of
these natural transportation sys-
TENS. His research has brought to
light some interesting facts regard
ing the early movements to make
navigahle the Susquehanna river and
its main tributaries.
River Not Closed
In presenting the subject to Con-
gress he called attention TO the fact
that the McCalls Ferry dam, con-
structed by a private corporatiop
at cost of S16,OOO,OO0. would never
have been built but for the action of
