DAYLIGHT SAVING STICKS.
Renewed Attempts of Republicans to
Repeal Fail.

Washington, July S.-Renewed
attempts of House Republican leaders
to repeal daylight saving through q
rider of the 1920 agricultural appro.
priation bill were defeated in the
House today when Republican oppo-
nents of repeal Joined with the Demo,
Gratis in voting to eliminate the re-
peal provision. immediately after,
wards, without a dissenting vote, the
agricultural bill carrying S33.900,00O
was passed to the Senate.
Final action on the daylight say,
ing repeal came after day marked
by sharp political clashes in both
houses and in committees. Demo-
Gratis, including those favoring re-
peal, refused to join in making the
repeal rider in order, and in speeches
on the floor attacked the Republicans
as "playing politics"
Republican leaders, however, insist,
ed that the rider alone would assure
early passage of the agricultural bill
which Democrats said was certain tc
be vetoed again by President Wilson
if it included the repeal provision.

Waist League to
Put a Stop to
Order Cancellations

In order to drive home to the re-
tailers OF wornen's apparel through
out the country the principles gov
erning the return of merchandise and
cancellation Of orders the United
Waist League Of American set forth
in a statement issued yesterday the
conditions under which a retailer
may or may not cancel an order or
return merchandise shipped to him
The statement marks the taking of
very definite step in the leagues
campaign against members Of the
retail trade who habitua1ly practice
the evils referred to. 1t was issued
by Executive Director NJ Mosessohn.
and follows:
Our instructions to our members
are that where binding agreement
TO purchase and sell has been made,
there Is no right to cancellation
For an order to be binding there
must be several elements For in
stance, orders must be divided into
two classes, those for $50 and up
wards. and those for less than $50
Orders for $50 or more are bind
ing on the customer If the customer
has actually received and accepted
part OF the goods. or has made a pay
ment on account Of the order of has
given written order signed by him
self or his agent
Acceptance may be by word that
Is some statement of the customer TO
the effect that he accepts the goods
This is point which Is not to be
overlooked. Furthermore. ii must be
remembered that, when customer
retains goods for any length of time.
that act is an acceptance OF those
goods. They ca n only be returned
within a reasonable time for very
good and sufficient reason
Written orders need not he m erelv
on regular form or blank They may
be In the form Of letters. or may be
any ms memorandum showing the es-
,sential terms For instance. nerchan-
disc, quantity and price Of order.
Time Of delivery is not necessary.
Where no mention is made, a rea.
sonable time is allowed
AN order need not have a sigma
ture at the bottom. A printed sigma
ture is sufficient In a recent decis-
ion 1t was held that bill in the
| usual form. having the sellers name
printed in at the top and the words
Sold to- printed in before the nam e
| ~ S1iV CoSLoAiiUE, W MIN IL written III,
was sufficient signature to make the
contract binding. So 1t is analogous
that orders made out by customer
on the customers own printed form
are binding on the customer.
| Orders for less than $50 do not
| require any of the elements men
| toned above. An oral order Is good
| but an oral order for less than $50
is good provided the question of We
| racitv can be determined @

something to reduce their accidents,
