My Rival

go to concert, party, ball
What profit is in these?
sit alone against the wall
And strive to look at ease.
The incense that is mine by right
They burn before Her shrine
And that's because I'm seventeen
And She is forty-nine.
The young men come, the young men
Each pink and white and neat,
She's older than their mother SHUT
They grovel at Her feet.
They walk beside Her rickshaw
wheels
They never walk by mine;
And that's because I'm seventeen
And she is forty-nine.
But even She must older grow
And end her dancing days,
She can't go on for ever so
At concerts, balls and plays.
One ray of priceless hope l see
Before my footsteps shine;
Just think, that She'll be eighty-one
When / am forty-nine.

Like tall and upright soldier, al
ways at attention, the thistle, with
it's outstretched spiny arms and head
pointing stiffly to the sky, stands
faithful guard over the sunlit fields
!, of summer Grasses may bow and
sway before the ripping breezes,
daisies and clover may bend their
heads in gentle submission, but the
thistle, like true sentinel, uncom-
promising and unafraid, stands ever
erect in unconscious challenge to the
world
| But, in spite of the gallant soldiers
piercing weapons and the sheath Of
spreading prickles that cover it, like
new kind of armor, from head to root
the bees and butterflies lowering above
the flowers lovely lavendar head bear
witness to the fact that beneath the
forbidding surface there is a sweetness
and a fragrance that are all it's own.
For the perfume of the thistle, al
though faint and rather elusive, is the
very essence of the sun-warmed sum-
mer meadows, bringing with it visions
of long, lazy days in the open to the
accompaniment of the deep drone of
the honey bee and the twitter of a
casual bird flying overhead.
The guardian thistle" is the ma
tional emblem Of Scotland, dating
back to the days of the Danish wars.
At that time, the story runs, ma
rauding Danish army, hoping to sur
prise a camp of Scots by night, ad-
vanced barefoot on its foes. A soldier
of the Danes, however, stepped by
chance on prickly tuft of thistle
leaves, and the shrek of pain that he
could not forbear uttering warned
the Scottish forces and saved them
from humiliation.
Another old tale centering about the
thistle is that of the envious peasant
who. meeting a prosperous merchant
, ou d ioucly iodu, iSu upOu I'LL duu
put him to death. AS the dying victim
sank to the ground he fixed his glaz-
ing eyes on the murderer and SOL
EMMY uttered these cryptic words:
1.-The thistle will betray YOU"
Whatever the warning meant, the
peasant was not impressed, for he
gathered up the gold and the priceless
fabrics of the merchants stock and
made off, For time he lived in ap-
parent peace, but, as everyone knows,
wealth does not always bring happi-
ness, and the crime he had committed
kept preying on his mind Gradually
he sank into a state of morbid terror,
suspicious of every one, fearing to
spend his gold, yet dreading its loss
at the hand of thieves. The warning
of the murdered merchant kept rank
ling in his memory, and neighbors
noticed that he walked great distances
out of his way to avoid patch of
thistles. Asked the reason of his
strange actions, the hunted man would
only shake his head and answer,
dare not say, and the thistle cannot
tell"
Finally, half crazed by ceaseless
brooding, he confessed his crime and
was hanged. After the execution the
neighbors visited the scene of the muir
der, and on the spot where the mer-
chant fell they found a thistle growing
with buds and branches resembling
human heads, arms and hands.

One Schedule of Hours

able to All Trades

BOSTON, May 1.-The National In
dustrial Conference Board, in a report
issued to-day on the hours of work
problem, reaches the conclusion that
no single schedule of hours is equally
adaptable for all industries from the
standpoint of productions
I'm general" the report says. "thc
ability to increase hourly efficiency and
thus make up, either wholly or in part.
for reductions in hours, was largely
determined by the amount Of hand
work performed in any given process.
Those industries characterized by a
relatively large amount of machine
work as rule showed marked de-
crease in output when hours were re-
duced."
The board investigated 1918 repre-
sentative establishments in five indus
tries cotton, wool, boot and shoe and
metal manufacturing. Of these, TAO es-
adjustments had reduced hours and
furnished definite information regard
ing results.
The report says the investigation re-
vealed no clearly established relation
ship between changes in wages and the
rate Of production, but the evidence
clearly indicated that the piece-ra te
system was more conducive to efficiency
than the day-rate system

Daylight Repeal Bill
Will Be Argued May IL
Governor Will Hear Final Bout
Between City and Rural
Interests
INTERESTS
Special Dispatch to The 7ribn,

ALBANY, May 4.-The city and rural
interests clashing over the repeal of
the daylight Saving act will have their
final bout here May II. when the
Fowler bill repeating the daylight saw
ing act will come up for hearing be-
fore the Governor. The measure is a
veteran of several legislative battles,
and was carried to victory only when
Speaker Sweet insisted it must be
passed to insure his prestige with up
state farmers. There is little likeli-
hood Governor Smith will approve the
bill.
Representatives of organized labor,
city officials representing New York
and other munici ipalities in the state
and representative business men de-
manded hearing on the bill so they
might present to Governor Smith their
arguments why it should be vetoed.
The measure is backed by the farmers,
who declare the daylight-saving act
has seriously interfered with produc-
ton.
Several bills were signed by Gov
ernor Smith to-day. Two of the meas
ures affect New York City. One Is the
Boylan bill establishing retirement
and pension system for New York City
employees.

Two hundred members of the Retail
Clothiers Association of New York
City, at luncheon at Lussier's Restau-
rant, 147 West Forty third Street, yes
terday, assured Armin w. Riley and J.
J. Price, of the flying squadron. of the
Department. of Justice, that prices in
mems clothing would be reduced ma
terially by them beginning to-day.
According to the clothing and wear
ing apparel dealers they are not only
willing to reduce prices, but hope by
selling out their present stocks at low
hgures, in many cases at cost, to give
the factories an opportunity to catch
up in production. The stores will stop
buying for the present, it was said.
NecktIes will be lowered from the
prevailing prices of 50 and So to rs
cents and 81; mems hosiery will be
from 90 cents to 81, and silk shirts,
underclothing and hats will decline in
price in many large retail clothing
stores, it was said. The price of white
collars is to be 25 cents throughout the
city.
:. Colonel Fred Levy. president of the
National Clothiers Association, ex-
pressed the belief that prices would be
