ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
Increase Of 81 500 In Fire Company Appro-
priatiOns il Sought.

Iequests for an increase Of 81 500 in
the appropriations of the fire companies
were made by representatives Of all the
companies except Friendship and Della
ware at the meeting Of City Council in
committee of the whole last evening.
This request and that Of the police de-
,partment are the first to reach the Coun-
Gil for the appropriations of the fiscal
year 1920-2l President Lyon assured
the companies that it would be given the
fullest consideration. IL was referred
to. the finance committee.
TRe present allotment to the fire COM
panies is $500 year. The delegations
last night stated that the increase was
modest and was necessary in the interests
Of the service. Brandywine company
alone asked no increase for itself. Presi-
dent George Watson of this company
stated that it is practically clear of debt
and can get along on its present appro-
priation. 1t proposes to divided its share
of the increase among the other companies

DAYLIGHT SAVING TO
START HERE SUNDAY
Beginning That Day the Clocks
in Wilmington Will be Adj
vanced One Hour.

Daylight saving will go into effect IN
wilmington at 2 o'clock next Sunday
morning. Now is the time for all good
citizens 10 40 To bed early Saturday night,
and TO turn their clocks ahead an hour Just
before they roll in; for when they wake up
10 will be an hour later than II was at the
same time on the day before.
The daylight saving ordinance passed
hy the City Council has stood the test of
public opinion. Petitions from several
large business concerns IN support of day
light saving have been received at the
City Hall, and votes taken by the en-
ployes of other companies have invariably
been in favor of getting up an hour earlier
and finishing work before sundown. The
solitary exception in the city has been the
Trolleymen's Union, which sent a delega-
tion TO protest against the ordinance be-
cause OF the change in working hours.
The great question at present is whether
the railroads will recognize the change.
In New York, where daylight saving has
already been in effect for some time, the
suburban trains are running on the day
light saving schedule, but the through
trains have retained standard Eastern
time. so that anyone who travels has to
keep his wits about him and be ready to
add or subtract an hour from his schedule
as he leaves or enters the station. Since
Philadelphia is sticking to Eastern time,
there is little probability that the rail-
roads will adopt the daylight saving SCH
dule here for the present.
Most of the larger industrial plants of
the city have announced their intention of
conforming to the ordinance. The ship
building plants and the leather companies
have taken the lead in this movement,
which promises to become general. Some
shops and stores have shown an IN
rlination TO hang back. Many of them
will probably keep Eastern time unless
the conflict Of bours causes too great IN
convenience to their employees, or their
trade is adversely affected.
The city ordinance, which was adopted
10y the Council, January ID and approved
hv the mayor two DAYS later, is as follows:
THAT the official time of the city of
Wilmington. Delaware, shall be standard
time, Eastern, except that from a. m. of
the last Sunday in April, until a. m, of
the last Sunday in September in each
wear. The official time throughout the
city Of Wilmington, Delaware, shall be
advanced one hour, and all courts, public
offices, legal and official proceedings, inso-
far rs they are subject to the charter,
laws and ordinances of the city of Viii
mington, Delaware, shall be regulated
thereby"
Banks will observe the city ordinance,
beginning on Sunday. The Wilmington
Clearing House Association, at meeting
Yesterday afternoon, in the offices Of the
Equitable Trust Co, adopted the day
light saving plan. During the time when
the ordinance is in effect the banks viii
open at and close at 3 by Wilmington
time, or open at s and close at by Eastern
time. On Saturday the closing hour will
be II, Wilmington time, or ii standard
time.

AMERICAN LEGION IN
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
In Connection With the Proposed
Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Exposition.

In connection with its proposed circus
and merchants and manufacturers ex-
position, which will be conducted May 81
to June 5, the American Legion is con-
Quoting a drive to secure as members for
the Legion, all former service men who re-
ceived honorable discharges. The aim Is
to make the Legion 100 per cent organ
ization. Many advantages to the ex-
service man are pointed out that he can
more easily obtain by joining the Legion.
As the fee for joining is but 50, and the
dues per month only 25 cents, which in
cludes subscription to the American
Legion weekly, the men who are in charge
of the Legion hold to the opinion that the
ex-service man does himself an injustice
If he does not join.
Through the efforts of the Legion many
steps have been taken already which have
benefited men WHO saw service In the
world war and many others are planned.
The Legion has secured added allotments,
compensation and travel allowance to
which the men were entitled by act OF
Congress, but bad not received. Liberty
Bonds, belonging to the service men, were
placed in the hands of their owners The
total disability clause in the Sweet bill
was increased to give the individual $50
instead OF $50 a month and like increase
according TO dependency. Under the first
war risk insurance plan the ex-servlce
mans dependent, upon his death, would
receive S5.75 a month from his insurance.
This was changed, through the efforts OF
the Legion, so that the soldier can change
his insurance any time within fve years
and make provision that the amount
named on the face of the policy be paid his
beneficiary at death or he can draw 1t IN
cash at the end of the endowment period.
The Legion has in Washington much
additional beneficial legislation of this
kind.
To secure 100 per cent membership, the
various posts of the Legion are working
practically as unit.
ANY former service man who wants to
join the Legion may arrange to do so by
dropping into campaign headquarters,
Church Building Tenth and Market
streets, any time during the day and the
office will be open every evening to re-
ceive memberships that are accompanied
by the application fee and the ex-service
mans honorable discharge papers.
In connection with the various objects
of this undertaking, for the success Of
some of which an appeal will be made TO
the public, the Legion has adopted a
motto which reads as follows: I'VE
helped you to keep home; help us to buy
a home
This applies especially to the plans for
a home for the Legion, which is to be one
of the main purposes of the circus and ex-
position.
The proposed exhibition has received
the Endorsement of many business con-
Germs, including the Manufacturer Asso-
citation.

HOW ONE BOY SUCCEEDED
IN POULT TRY BUSINESS
Aided in Getting a Start, He Has
Made it Profitable Business
at Frederick.

In the department Of vocational educa-
ton Of agriculture in Frederick, Delaware,
one Of the boys thought that he would like
to enter into the poultry industry, but
lacking financial support was IN doubt as
TO how to go about it. The instructor
purchased enough hens for nice size
project with the understanding that the
student was to take the hens and II the
project were failure, the instructor
would stand the loss, but if profit, the
student was to reimburse the instructor
with the amount paid out, plus interest at
six per cent.
The boy was twitted and joked and
teased about his efforts with poultry, but
he was undaunted, and conscientiously
continued his work, with the result that
he found poultry TO be rather a good IN
vestment.
In four months time he has taken over
all Of the hens and has purchased a new
pure bred rooster. His father is building y
new house for him, and he has established
himself in q small, but growing poultry
industry, which is entirely his own little
business His parents are not only inter-
ested in what the boy is doing, but are also
enthusiastic over the prospects which he
has.
lie rs selling quite q nuUiDtf OF Settings
to people close by, who have seer, the
quality of his birds, and while he should be
receiving the price which other breeders
are receiving for eggs, he Is selling settings
at s5 cents each. His reason Tor this little
price being that his birds are pullets and
are not mature breeding stock. lhls
student promises not only good profits 10
himself this year, but good enterprise IN
the future.
