DAYLIGHT SAVING WILL
END NEXT SUNDAY

Daylight saving time in Perth AM
boy and in a majority of the cities
which have been observing this kind
of time during the spring and sum
n.er will come to an end at 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning. at which time all
clocks will be retarded one hour so
as to bring tfem back to standard
time.
The last Sunday in April saw the
clocks being advanced one hour in
order that daylight saving time
might be had for the spring and
summer months. An ordinance was
passed by the aldermen this year
adopting the daylight system as the
kind Of time to be observed in this
city. Banks. theatres, churches and
business houses changed SO that
there was no difference in time. Ihe
railroads running out of the city
maintained standard time, however
this causing a little confusion.
The city ordinance rule that all
clocks shall be retarded one hour
this coming Sunday morning at z
o'clock. thus giving everyone an ex-
fra hour between midnight and day
light. As many clocks cannot be set
back without damaging them they
should either be stopped for one
hour or set ahead eleven hours. At
any rate every clock and Watch
should be put back n hour by some
method before arising Sunday morn
ing in order that it might again reg
lister standard time.

NIGHT SCHOOLS TO OPEN
IN MIDDLE OF OCTOBER

The public night schools will be
open approximately the middle of
October, according to the report of
the superintendent of schools here
today. 1t was originally decided that
no move in this direction would be
made until after the october meet
ing of the Board of Education, but
because of the great amount of prep
aration necessary before the open
ing, it was thought ~expedient to be-
gin activities as soon as possible.
Royal Predmore, principal of
schools 4 and 10, who has for the
past several years also been the prin-
cipal of the night schools will again
be in charge and is now working
upon the organization. The sessions
will hold forth at school 5 and at
the grammar school as usual, and
there will be, it is thought, five
teachers besides the principal. Last
year, considered tho most successful
year of the night school department,
there were enrolled 256 men and

PROHIBITION OFFICE MAY
Be MOVED TO TRENTON

NEWARK, Sept. 21:-It is rumor-
ed that Charles II. Brown, prohibit
ton officer. is ~endeavoring to have
the prohibition office removed from
Newark to Trenton. Mr.. Brown not
being in his Office this morning, 1t
could not be confirmed or denied,
but it is known that there is some
movement afoot. According to the
law, the prohibition officer has the
authority to make such move pro-
viding he a show Washington
some good reason for his action.
At the present time there are
twenty employees in the Newark
office, all of whom live in the city or
in the immediate vicinity. If a
change is made it would probably
necessitate an almost complete
change of force.
1t is also said, however. that n
group head will be maintained at
Newark for enforcement. The posi-
ton is now held by George A. Bema
and among those mentioned for the
iob is Samille II. Cone of South Am
boy as a possible group head.

PLANS MADE
Tentative Program Which u.
S. Has Sent to Powers Sug-
gestS Many Problems

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81 (By The
Associated PresS)-The tentative
agenda which the United States has
transmitted to the principal powers
who will participate in the confer
ence on the limitation of ornaments
and Pacific and Far East problems,
suggests on broad lines subjects for
consideration. Foreign Offices to
whom it has been sent have been in
formed that it is essentially sugges-
tive and subject to amendments or
additions. An outline of the agenda
follows:
Limitation of naval armament;
basis of limitation; extent of limita-
ton: fulfilment of conditions.
Rules for control of new agencies
Of warfare.
Limitation of Land armament.
The Pacific and Far Eastern
questions are set forth thus:
Questions relating to China; prin-
ciples to be applied.
Application to subjects.
Territorial integrity.
Administrative integrity.
Open door; equality of admin
istrative and industrial opportunity.
Concessions, m~onopolies and
other economic privileges.
Development of railways.
Preferential railroad rates.
Status of existing commitments.
Questions relating to Siberia.
Similar to questions relating to
China.
Inundated islands.
Plans for the two-fold observance
of Armistice Day and the opening of
the conference have not yet taken
detailed form, but they are expected
to include a nationwide demonstra
ton for the limitation of armament
by organized labor. prayer services
in many churches, special meetings
of women's organizations and cere-
monies of various forms by civic
industrial and political bodies gen.
orally. 1t is probable that a Pres
idential proclamation will set the
day aside as a national holiday.

number of other important measures.

ed by Republicans and Democrats

Democrats to Oppose Repeal.
According to Democratic leaders
their guns will be trained particu-
larl, against provision for repeal OF
the excess profits tax and a reduc-

against them.

provisions in their original form.

cess profits tax as of next
January 1, and for increased ex-
emption to heads of families having
a net income of $4,000 or less and
on account of dependents retroactive
to last January l.
To Cause Reductions
While the senate committee agreed
to the House proposal to reduce the
maximum income surtax rate from
%sixty-fve per cent. to thirty-tWo per
cent, it changed some of the rates
below the latter figure so as to bring
about some reductions in the amount
of taxes to be paid by all individuals
except single men having ncomes II
$4,000 OIL less. 80,
Other major provisions in the bill
as revised are:
An increase of five per cent. in
corporation income tax effective next
January /.
Retention of transportation taxes,
but with rates on freight and pas
sengers reduced one-half, and with
provision for their repeal on January
1, 1928.

Guild Opposes Lyons and Peterson

At a recent meeting of the Pros
fessional Guild of Middlesex County,
held at the Y. Nj. c. A. in New
Brunswick, a resolution was unani-
mously passed stating that in tho
interest of public welfare the Guild
was opposed to the reelection to the
assembly of c.. r. Lyons and Il. j.
Peterson. as they failed to protect
the public from men who were not
properly educated in the healing art
by refusing to vote for such meas
ures as would raise the educational
qualifications of such men. 1t was
declared hat these men had failed
to recognize a public necessity for q
public measure and therefore failed
to deserve the honor of reelection.

es were made by DIR. Hoffman, DR..

SCHOOL NEWS

A new system has been Instituted
in the lower grades of the city
schools by Miss Alice Mihleis, super
visor of the primary and kindergar-
ten grades, which proved a compar-
alive success last year. and with
more time it is expected will be thor
oughly efficient this year. BY the
means of intelligence tests the chill
dren are advanced or set back 1t
is the plan to work the pupils up to
the maximum Of their ability and
capitalize their original capacity.
Thus If a child has more intelligence
or a greater capacity for learning
than the others in his class. as
shown by the intelligence tests, he
is sem on to the mex grade. In this
way 500 children in the primary
grades made a year and a half Of
work in one last year. The system
has proved successful here, and it is
expected that it will be elaborated
upon very soon and all it's phases
used. This means that there will be
no holding back part of the class
because the other part has not been
able to study equally fast. and IN
this way a child's advancement will
depend upon his natural ability.
n very SltdL llIlIIpN tilltib a
been made in the grounds at School
s, which heretofore was made up of
large mud puddles when it rained
and clouds of dust in dry weather.
Small crushed rock. laid generously
upon the entire ground has formed
a drain for the rain and made a
comparatively fine playground. The
stones are small enough so as to be
! packed down and make a level sur
face while enough ~crevices remain to
drain the water. A substantial ce-
ment wall has also been constructed
on the south boundary of the ground
which had hitherto been an insight
ly dirt bank. A concrete sidewalk
now runs from the main walk to the
entrance.
The continuation classes continue
to grow larger daily and at the
present time there are 290 enrolled
students. If the sections increase to
any greater extent some new means
will have to be found to dispose OF
the surplus. The classes at the pres
ent time are over-crowded and the
superintendent of schools is at a loss
as to how to place the new appli-
cants. The state law requires that
every child under sixteen years OF
age, who is not enrolled in the regu-
lar schools, must take six hours OF
study a week.
