SELFISH NEW YORK.

The s|elnshness of New York City
IS plainly illustrated in the following
from an editorial in last nights New
York Globe on the daylight saving
matters;
New York city, for one, is satisfied
with the operation Of daylight saving
and would dislike TO shift it's clocks
again. The urban citizen has heard the
arguments of his farmer n~eighbor
against the practice, n no longer de-
sire to make him get the COWS out of
earlier than these pets desire; but he
is convinced that his own happiness
and welfare are served by advancing
his clock one hour during the sum-
mer months, and it is difficult to see
that upstate politicians should have
anything to do with the decision"
In the first place the law which The
Globe wants Governor Smith to veto
because it repeats the daylight saving
Ill LNtN LOAh 0Ndtt mas a AONdl Oll4VAi
clause so that any municipality in the
state hat desires to advance the clock
an hour I'm summer may do so. This
leaves New York city still free to en-
JOY its daylight saving to its hearts
content, and as long as the railroads
continue to follow New York's lead
other towns and cities within the
metropolitan district will have to adj
vance their clocks to conform there
with. But. apparently. New York city
lis not satisfied with that. Tt would
compel upstate" farmers TO accept
New York's dictation whether it suits
their convenience OF not.
But 1t is a question whether all the
city jewellers favor the daylight saw
ing idea. A letter published in The
Sun and New York Herald Il day or
two ago, written by a New Yorker,
asked whether anybody who has to re-
port for work at S o'clock is in favor
of the advanced time. The writer
stated that he had failed to find any.
THE daylight saving may be all right
for the man who gets down to his
Office al . or $50 o'clock, but for the
fellow who has to travel a consider
able distance and be at work at Z or
8 o'clock it means getting up almost
before daylight.
We have a striking Illustration of
what daylight saving a here in
Perth Amboy today when h schools
convened at s o'clock, new time, in
order to have one session because of
the use of the school buildings for
voting this afternoon.
If anyone should suggest that the
children be in school at Z o'clock in
the morning there would be a protest.
Yet that is exactly what happened to-
day according TO standard time
When the clocks at Jamesburg, fol
instance. pointed to I o'clock this
morning. the Perth Amboy children
were in school. This may seem very
thrifty and smart but it has caused
considerable inconvenience in moro
than one home today.
Here on the border line between the
two different times is where the in
convenience Is felt the most. Half OF

Perth Amboy the polls dc not close
until 10 o'clock tonight in the primary
election because the state as a whole
is on standard time. The situation Is
preposterous.

came from St. Louis that it's plans to cap ture the big meeting, abandoned several days ago, might be revived if com promise solution were sought.
 Both the San Francisco and Kansas City delegations were confident they would win, workers for the Pacific cosst city going so far as to declare they had a majority of the committee pledged unequivocally This claim was denied by the Kansas City supporters, who declared sentiment in their favor was growing hourly.
 When the committee meets tomorrow the bids for the convention will be re- quired in writing, and a hearing on them will be given in open session. San Fran cisco is prepared to accompany it's invi- tation with pledge of s100,000, while Kansas City will present a check for $50- 600 and an offer of free use of the city hall The selection itself, as well as the adoption of resolutions, is expected to take place in executive session.
 Discussion of the time for opening the convention, also to be determineda to- morroWs meeting, centers about June 22 and June %, with the final decision de- pending on the place chosen. It was pre- dicted generally that if San Francisco captured the honor the latter date would be more likely

WORE NO SHOES
 FOR TWO YEARS
Los Angeles Woman Lived in Bed and Pillowed Chair Until She Started
 on Tanlac

''I had to be cared for just like a baby before I began taking Tanlac," said Mrs.. Alice Murphy, of 1501 Pennsylvania avenue, Los Angeles. Cal
 1.-TWO years ago I had very severe attack of muscular rheumatism."- she continued, and no one knows the pain and torture I have suffered since. My hands swelled until I could hardly work my fingers and I haven't been able to put on a pair of shoes because my feet were swollen so I had sharp pains through my back so bad that at times I simply could not keep from screaming. Sometimes I got so dizzy everything seemed to spin around and then I would have sharp pains and chilly feeling af- rewards I was so helpless that lived propped up with pillows in a chair or in bed all the time and had to be helped from one place to another.
 'I tried every medicine or treatment we could hear of but it was money thrown away and I got so blue did not care to live. Then my husband read in the papers about Tanlac and by the time I had taken it four or five days I saw it was helping me. Now, after talk ing several bottles, I can't praise Tan lac enough. My nerves are so much bet ter I sleep like a child all night long. am already doing my homework again and it is the first time in two years l have been able to get around at all and wear my ShoeS.'
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Pat ton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

MAY CHANGE RULE

The committee probably will be called on also to consider a recommendation that the rule requiring two-thirds to nom- mate be changed so that only a ma jority would be necessary, Chairman Cummings predicted today, however, that no such action would be taken.
 There seemed to be a feeling among committeeman, he said, that the change would be impracticable as long as the rule requiring state delegations to vote as a unit remained in force. With this rule and only a majority required to nom-
 nate, it was pointed out, it would be possible for an actual minority to name the candidates.
 The purport of President Wilson's let ter to the Jackson day banquet, charac- terized by the White House severai days ago as containing "an important word to the party, still was carefully guarded tonight It is understood it will be short, and it will be read before the speeches at each of the two sections of the banquet. Chairman Cummings conferred with Secretary Tumulty at the White House today and later it was said that no con- hdential copies of the message would be available to the press prior to the tune of it's reading

His Neck, Arms and Limbs Had Been Stiff from Rheu- matism Many Months, and Crippled Up So That He Had to Walk on Crutches
|"CRIPPLED FOR LIFE,"
 |SAIDONEDOCTOR TO ME
Has Thrown Away His Crutch, Limbs, Neck and Arms Timber As Ever, and Pains All Gone Since Taking Dreco, the Root and Herb Juice Tonic.

You will be a cripple the balance of you, life, for the stiffness of your joints is permanent is what doctor told this Birmingham man, according to his signed statement given for publication. He is MT. J. K. Flemming, and lives at 6o26 Sloss avenue.
 Tt is true that my neck, arms and limbs were so stiff and sore that I could not use them much,'' he continued, '.and had become very much discouraged over my condition for I had tried many remedies and several good doctors, but my aches never let up. I had to hobble about on crutch wherever I went any distance. My kidneys were in bad shape, and I've gotten un as much as six or seven times during the night to relieve them.
 My stomach became all knocked out from so much strong medicine I had taken trying to cure my rheumatism, so that could not eat many things l wanted.
 q read about Dreco and what it was dcing. so went m to Jacobs Pharmacy to see about it. While there I saw Peter Zotaler, proprietor of Little Gem restau- rant, second avenue and Nineteenth street, purchase six bottles of Dreco. so I knew Dreco must have merit for a man to do that. I bought three bottles myself, and that was the turning point in my suffering
 To-day I am the happiest most grateful man in Birmingham, for I feel free from paint for the first time in years. and have thrown my crutch away My arms limbs and neck are as Timber and free as ever in my life. and I walk with ease and comfort. Haven't had to get up during the night row for over week. My stomach is all right again and my family is pre- Ar airing to have a celebration and have ell the neighbors come in. Dreco is the greatest medicine ever offered for sale in this town. and everybody should know about it. All sufferers from rheu- ratism. kidney and stomach trouble should take my advice and give Dreco a trial"
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and is highly recommended in Birming- ! ham by Norton Drug company. Dreco is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug company. in Fairfield by Halls rharmacv. in Vivian by Central phar many.-Adv.

City Basketball League was resumed ar ter the Christmas holidays. With but one execution the games lacked interest pe- cause of the fact that the opposing teams were not evenly matched.

 In the opening contest Birmingham Southern showed a weakness due to lack of practice during the holidays and was unable to keep pace with the suDuroahl- tes of North Birmingham. This game, however was marked by hard fighting on the part of players of both teams.
