HOUR GOES IN COLD
STORAGE TOMORROW
Operation on Father Time Ex-
pcctcd to Cause Some Tenn
porary Confusion.

In conserving daylight the city oI
Wilmington is preparing 10 remove one
hour from the calendar, and has selected
n. m, Sunday. April 25, for the opern.
ton The operation will be painless. ~
far ms Old Father Time is concerned. but
the temporary loss Of sixty minutes from
2 to 3 II. IN. is likely TO cause some com
plications among the people.
The cause of the greatest confusion will
bo the fact that the railroads and the
Federal government viii continue to
operate under old, or standard, time. And
this means that the local yards and freight
Offices Of the railroads will also observe
standard time.
Mnil collections and deliveries will be
bv standard time. and the clock on the
postoffce building in defiance of all the
other clocks and watches IN the neigh
borhood viii refuse TO take notice Of
Wilmington's now time.
Under the complications Of railroad
and city time, after tomorrow you can
be an hour late in getting TO the station,
and still make your train.
So far as could too learned, all
Catholic churches OF the city will OBJ
serve the new tune in the services. and
the bells that ring at q, ~ and q. morning
noon and night, will ring at those hours
under the daylight savlnHy ysten. Prot
estant churches generally viii have their
services in keeping with the new time,
one exception noted being ST. Johns
Protestant Episcopal. which has nunounc-
ed its services for tomorrow under stand
ard time
The offices Of the city md county in
the Public Building will all observe the
ban. sbaa al lss
industries of the city.
The greatest confusion on account Of
the change will result to commuters from
down state who do business in Whining
ton. Those employed here will have TO
get up at the regular hour 10 make their
trains, which run under standard time.
and will reach Wilmington an hour
earlier than it is necessary.
The Wilson Line steamers To Phila-
delphia will run under the old time, on
account Of the fact that Philadelphia has
not adopted daylight saving A change Is
made necessary in the schedule Of the
ferries on account Of Wilmington's change
in time
II il expected, however, that any con-
fusion resulting anywhere from the change
will he matter Of \ few days only, as
people soon become accustomed 10 change,
and readily adapt themselves 10 changes.
The Peoples Bus Line announced to-day
that il wifi conform TO the new city tinc.

SMYRNA TURNS OUT
TO HEAR ANTS
Opera House Meeting Crowded
With Opponents of
Suffrage. Z

"we had perfectly splendid meeting
at Smyrna last night, said Mrs. Henry
b. Thompson, President of the Delaware
Association Opposed to Suffrage today.
Tho meeting was held in the opera house
which was filed to capacity, some men
coming up on the stage and standing In
the 'fies" as there were no seats left.
Mrs. s. j. Reynolds presided and
particular feature of the meeting were
the decorations. Red roses abounded
everywhere even to the stage trimmings
and the decorations of the foothghts
Mrs. Thompson emphasized the ne
cessity of those opposed TO suffrage m
forming their legislators how they felt
about it. They should inform the present
members of the Legislature and also new
members that might be chosen from time
TO time.
Colonel George w. Sparks, president
of the Street and Sewer directors, made n
spirited appeal to the audience to hold
fast to the constitution of the State. He
quoted the constitution to show that
what the opponents of suffrage were con-
tending for was right. He said that shanges
In the constitution should not be rushed
through but should be seriously considered
before any change was contemplated.
Miss Charlotte Rowe national field
secretary for the opponents to suffrage
delivered oneof her characteristic addresses
dwelling at length on the duty that wom-
an owed TO her home and family in prefer
ence to outside affairs such as politics.
Representatives Snow and Stats and
Senator Latta were present and Senator
Latta when called upon, came forward
20 the stage and made an address, He said
that he was in sympathy with the oppo-
nents TO suffrage and was supported by
his constituents. He said that he would
not vote for suffrage because his people
did not want II.
When the meeting was called upon to
express its sentiment for or against suf-
frage, there were % women and men, Mrs.
Thompson said, who arose favoring suf-
frage. The remainder of the audience
numbering between 500 and 600 arose and
expressed themselves rs against suffrage
when the negative side of the question
was asked
