. The French liner Lafayette, in yester-

or the trip. the turbulence of cyclonic
seas preventing their appearance at
meals or elsewhere.

cotton in large quantities. and that the

SCHOOL GIRLS LOSE
TRANSFER STRIKE
Protest Parade at Prospect Of
Three Extra Blocks Ends
in Surrender.

The militant woman, exemplifed by
$50 school girls who were angry because
the authorities had decided they should
walk three extra blocks to school. came
out loser yesterday in a bout with Sam
uel vlertel, a kindly but firm diplomat,
who Is principal of Public School No. TO-
Eagle avenue and 1881 street, The
Bronx.
The girls were pupils of Public School
No. 81. Trinity avenue and 15Sth street,
which is to be made junior high school
for boys. When the order was given to
transfer the girls to Public School No.
10 there was CONSERVATION. The girls,
accompanied by several of their mothers,
hastily improvised banners and lined up
for parade of protest. They marched
around both buildings until Mr.. Viertei
got tired of 1t. He called the Nor
risanla police. station and asked that a
policeman be sent TO help him. In a
few minutes Mr. Viertel and the police
man met the head of the parade. The
strikers were invited to come inside.
Once inside the auditorium Mr.. Viertel
said
Young ladies. this Is one matter over
which you have no control. If you re-
fuse to go to school you either will be
classified as truants or your parents will
be violating the law by not sending you.
take 1t that your protest Is caused in
part by your sorrow at leaving the old
school, but you are getting to be big
girls now and you must learn to look at
things like this In a more sensible was.
Your loyalty to your old school Is splen-
lid, but it will not have any effect what
ever on the transfer order"
After that. according to all reports
the strikers went to their classes and
there was no more trouble. The girls
were all of the IA and 7-B grades. Mr..
Viertel said afterward he thought "a
Few misguided parents" probably were
to blame for the demonstration.

DAYLIGHT SAYING
CEASES TONIGHT
City Will Return to Eastern
Standard Time-New Rail-
road Schedules.

New York city at A. NJ. tomorrow
will cease to save daylight. At that
hour. in accordance with the local ordi-
nance, all conscientious citizens will
arise, stop their clocks for one hour.
start them again and then return to bed.
For the reason that the railroads.
with the exception of the Long Island
line. clung to Eastern standard time
the clocks in the terminals, which have
been an hour behind daylight time, will
be possible for breathless citizens with
watches In their hands to dash into
Grand Central or Pennsylvania Station
and find that instead of being thirty
seconds too late to make the something
forty three they are just So minutes 80
seconds too early.
The railroads have embraced the op-
portunity to join the time changing with
the usual adjustment of trains to winter
traffic conditions. New time tables
have ben prepared for all the roads. In
general through trains will depart at
the same time, Eastern standard time,
that they have been using. Local trains
will conform to the changed time. so
that man who puts his watch back
according to law can trust 1t to get him
to the station at the right time Sunday
or Monday.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, In a bull
letin issued to explain the daylight saw
ing alteration, announces various i'm
provements In service, which would seem
10 indicate that business is brisk. The
improvements include new sleeping
car line to Louisville and Memphis via
Cincinnati, leaving New York at s 40
p. NJ The r. NJ New York-Philadel-
mia train will be routed through to
Washington. The running time Of the
Commercial Express to St Louis will be
cut down by fifty-ive minutes, for the
train will leave New York at 10 :05 in
stead OF 3 10 A. NJ. and will reach st.
Louis next day at / 80 p. N. Local
trains in general will be put back one
four. The same Is true of other roads
Daylight saving this year has appar-
emily been a great success. despite the
fact that 1t was not adopted officially by
New York State. In this State, accord
ir.g to statistics prepared by the Mer-
chants Association, daylight saving was
adhered to by about 751a per cent. OF
me ertire DcpuiallOn. BESIDES NeW
York, 1876 other towns and cities adopted
the plan In this State. twenty-six in
Connecticut, two IN Delaware. twenty In
Maine. elghty-one in New Jersey, eleven
In Ohio, sixty-three in Pennsylvania.
twenty-one in Rhode Island and two In
Vermont. Massachusetts as State
adopted the plan.
An additional advantage which will
appeal even to the few who opposed day.

are exterminated. Another man. accord
ing to Inspector Lonergan, had TO send
his children out of the city because they
were bitten so many times. The Health
Department believes the fleas came from
some foreign country and found the bo-
hemian atmosphere OF Greenwich Village
congenial. While there is no particular
danger in their presence, they act as
intermediate hosts and germ carriers
1t was said.
Health inspectors are using cyanide
gas, carbon bisulphide and carbon chlor-
ide and the dogs. cats and other domes-
tic pets of the district are daily bathed
and sprayed. Firms engaged in the flea
