OF possible repeal Of daylight saving
measure in New York and Philadel-
phia. Thus far little has been heard
in Wilmington favoring any repeal.
Directors OF the Interstate Mix Pro
dueers Association, representing 10000
dairy farmers in Delaware. eastern
Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey
and the eastern shore Of Maryland,
have come out flatly against any kind
OF a daylight saving, national, State
or municipal.
II. d. Allebach, yice-president Of the
association, in a public statement as
serts: ut has been demonstrated that
the plan causes increased cost OF pro-
duction, which could not be borne by
the dairymen, but from necessity
would have to be covered by an in
creased cost of milk TO the consumer
in order to keep up sufficient produc-
tion to supply the demand.
Difficulties with labor and troubles
in shipping milk at the earlier hour,
particularly should the railroads de-
eide 10 operate trains on an earlier
schedule, had and would continue to
have an unfavorable influence on farm
labor, resulting in a higher cost Of pro-
duotion.
On top OF all this comes the asser-
lion from Philadelphia that a law or
dinace passed there clashes with an
act OF the Pennsylvania Legislature Of
1887 fixing standard time and is void
Careful search today Of the indices
of the statutes OF Delaware failed to
reveal any such time fixing law here.
but Attorney General Reinhsrdt said
he would not be surprised if one might
be found tucked away somewhere and

The situation as a whole apparently
resolves itself into a dispute between
the residents Of the cities and those Of
the rural sections, in which the rail-
roads and telegraph companies are
likely TO have the deciding say.

other term as postmaster OF Newark.

that Postmaster Bowen had appointed
a Republican. Bond Brown, TO a vacant
clerkship in the Office TO the exclusion
OF Frank Mackie, a Democrat.
Postmaster Bowens reply was that
Brown stood first on the civil service
list and that he had no option in the
matter. This. explanation was evidently
accepted as his appointment was con-
flrmed and his commission issued. With
his commission came a nice letter from
