FARMERS ARE CLOCK FREE
Daylight Saving Called n Boon for
Them as for Other Men.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str:
have discussed daylight saving with q
number of farmers in New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Vii ginia. and have not found any one
who raised any serious objections to It.
One man in central Pennsylvania, who
raises truck for the city market, which
is near. said that 1t required him to
get up slightly earlier on market days
Another man, who Is a dairyman in
Maryland. said that he was required to
leave home earlier in the morning to
complete his route SO that all his GUS
toners could have fresh milk for break
fast.
The plea that the clock does not lift
the dew from the ground is not a vital
one, as there are only n limited number
of days when this makes any particular
difference in farm work. and at such
times as haying and harvest II would be
a very unreasonable man who would not
be willing to make some slight adjust
ment for the benefit OF his employer
Harvesting as a rule does not last over
week on any farm, and haying, taxi
ing all the different periods collectively,
would not ordinarily cover more than
two weeks. making a total of about three
weeks In which the lifting OF the dew
would make any practical difference, and
on the average farm there is not nearly
SO much time given over to these things
Under present conditions II is hard
enough TO satisfy farm labor and keep
II on the farm without refusing to give
Ia hAr 10
arrangement as this. All the available
time in daylight for the rest OF the sum-
mer season should be given TO the la
borer. thus giving him more time for
the innumerable things around his own
home that are always waiting to be
done. Furthermore. II is hardly a time
for the farmers to Rntagonize labor
AZ a matter OF fact the people on our
farm govern their hours of work more
by the sun than by the clock. and II is
that way on every other farm that
have ever known. The farmer Is really
the only man who can set his own hours
without interfering with any one else.
The amount OF farm help that would
adversely be affected by the change Of
time would amount to ] per cent. OF the
entire industrial world, and for the farm
ers TO place themselves as n class in
opposition to this plan when there is no
real benefit to them is not good judE-
ment.
This daylight saving plan Is the only
really helpful thing that has been done
by our Congress for years without cost
ms millions of dollars. but It is the COM
mon sense thing 10 do and has mora
than doubled the available time for rec
reation and pleasure OF 90 per cent OF
the working people. and has In addition
been of inestimable value in improving
the living conditions OF those who could
not otherwise have cultivated their gar
dens. GEORGE L. BURGESS.

FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.
The Bill Before the Legislature Fa
yOred by Labor ORGANIZATIONS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: Mis-
leading statements have recently been
circulated In New York State in an at
tempt to make It appear that organized
labor 10 opposed to a health insurance
law. Quite the contrary 10 true.
Organized wage earners in this State
are solidly supporting the Davenport
Donohue health insurance bill now pend
ing in the Legislature. 1t is tho fore
most demand on labor's programme.
This well considered bill was adopted
by the State Federation at n Statewide
conference OF more than 300 delegates.
with only one dissenting VOTE, after two
years study by the Federation's COM
mittee on health. There was a practical
referendum of all local unions through
out the state during the past year. as
we'll as two Statewide conferences.
eliminating in labor's overwhelming in
dorsement OF this health Insurance bill
The central labor bodies of Brooklyn.
Albany. Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo.
and the New York Allied Printing
Trades Council. as a matter OF fact, are
all actively working for the passage Of
the Davenport Donohue health insurance
bill. 1t Is also heartily supported by an
impressive array OF leading civic and
social service organizations with hum
dreds OF thousands OF members In New
York State. including the Women's
Trade Union League. the Consumers
League. the Young Women's Christian
Association. the State Suffrage party.
the Federation of Women's Clubs, the
Maternity Center Association, the Asso-
citation for Labor Legislation. the two
City Clubs of New York and public
spirited employers and physicians. as
well as representative public officials.
Governor Smith puts health insurance
foremost among pressing reconstruction
measures.
The passage OF the health insurance
bill is a leading demand in the recon-
struction programme adopted January Is
at Albany by a Statewide conference OF
representatives OF labor.
The wage earners of New York are q
unit in favor OF the Davenport-Donohue
bill because they understand that COM
pulsory health insurance is the only Just
and effective means OF distributing the
burden OF sickness which now falls with
crushing weight upon the workers and
their families. They know that sickness
causes six times as much suffering and
dependency as that due to industrial ac-
cidents. And just as workmen's COM
pensation protects them in case OF IN
jury. health insurance, they know. will
protect them against the ever present
hazard OF illness.

SAM BROWNE BELTS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sir: A

belt was worn in the civil war by cav
airy and such infantry officers who pre-
ferred steel scabbards TO the leather
things that the tips fell OF from. They
served to relieve the diaphragm or gig
zard or something from the weight of
sabre and revolver. A picture OF my
self taken by Brady in 1863 shows the
shoulder belt.
Many Russian troops have suspended
their swords in this way, with the
scabbard rings in front instead OF as
with us. Thrs'ho doubt allows d7awlng
the weapon for sudden slash perhaps
half a second sooner than with the hilt

Cunning Again for the State Fish
Culturist.

Assemblyman GEORGE II. FEARoN of
Syracuse has introduced bill In the
Legislature abolishing the office of
fish culturist In the Conservation De
partment. The bill has been referred
to the Committee on Ways and Means.
1t is designed to get rid of JOHN W.

GEORGE d. PRATT, Conservation Com
missioner, has been paying from his
own pocket the salary OF the State fish

Protection for the Innocent.

The Federal Trade Commission has
been investigating transactions in
Liberty bonds and War Savings
Stamps in which inexperienced inves.
tors have parted with Government Sc
curities for stock in private concerns
peddled by glib statesmen to the limo.
cent. JAMES A. GnL, representing
the Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York, says:
we have found this practice wide
spread. They are offering par and
sometimes par and n premium for
Liberty bonds providing that the Lib
erty bonds are exchanged for oil or
other stocks that are alleged to yield
in some instances as high as 30 per
cent. and which are for the most
part worthless"
Every owner Of a Government bond
or n War Savings Stamp should
know exactly how much it is worth
II 1t must be sold. The prices paid
for bonds are printed every day in
the newspapers; the stamps are re-
deemable at post Offices. Any stranger
who offers more than the market
price OF a bond or more than the
official redemption price of n War
Savings Stamp is open to suspicion,
and when the offer Is contingent on
accepting shares of stock in payment
for the bond or the stamp he may be
set down as swindler.
These swindlers prey on the unso-
phisticated, on men and women who
have had no experience in invest
ments in stocks and bonds, and in
many cases they are slick, well
drilled, we'll appearing rascals, care
fully trained to impress the persons
they set out TO rob. 1t is easy
enough to say that their victims
should not be deceived by their ridic-
ulous talk. but the fact remains that
thousands of honest men and women
have been fooled by them and have
given up Government bonds for worth
less stock certificates. 1t is the duty
of all experienced persons to prevent
this exploitation Of others and to do
all they can do to insure the full re-
ward of patriotic thrift and self-de-
nial to those who bought Liberty
bonds.

Making a World Safe for Babies.

The infant death rate in New York
city for 1918 was 91.7 a thousand,
lower than the rate In any other Of
the ten largest cities In the country,
and only 90 points above the lowest
rate ever achieved here, which was
1873 for 1917.
This rate is described by Health
Commissioner COPELAND as Eek
tremely gratifying" in view Of "the
war, economic conditions and the In
fiuenza," and particularly because
New York "is the clearing house for
all conditions which might have been
expected to affect adversely the In
FAINT mortality rate" A tragic detail
Of the statistics is disclosed In the
assertion that:
up to last October Nex York city
had over 700 fewer deaths of babies
less than one year old than for the
same period Of the previous year.
1.-The increase in October and No
vember was due largely to the deaths
OF young mothers"
1t must be remembered that a part
Of the calendar year was covered by
the nationwide campaign conducted
under the auspices Of the Federal
Government for the protection Of ba.
bies and the instruction of mothers
in the care Of infants. This move
ment aroused wide interest, and un.
questionably resulted in saving the
lives of many babies.
Having got the infant mortality
rate down to the figure 1t has now
reached, the authorities and the pub
lie must not think their work is done,
IL must be kept down, and brought
lower, and no investment Of money
time and effort that can be made will
pay dividends SO good as those which
will flow from making the world safer
for babies.

WANTS AMERICAN SHOES.
Italy Changes Its Taste and Now
Offers n Good Market.

From the Scientific Ameticdn
1t seems strangely appropriate that
the country shaped like boot is a
growing market for the American shoe
manufacturer and just as Italy's toe
dipped into the Strait OF Mcssina, is
rounded, so do the Italians like good
comfortable footwear and shun freal;
fashions. Mems and women's lines OF
typical American shapes and latest con-
sentative styles are sold TO the exclusion
OF shoes built on an exaggerated swing
last or with an extremely pointed toe.
Before the war great quantities OF
shoes were supplied to Italy by Ger
many. and at n recent meeting of repre-
sentatives OF American factories the
question was raised whether German
firms had much chance Of reGaining their
former hold. From our experience |
don't think they have, for a while any
way" said one of those present
