Daylight Saving.
 April 20, 1921.


 To the Editor:
 Who knows that daylight saving was an economic benefit during tho war? It is often asserted to have been so. but I doubt it. I was in the government service myself for four- teen months and it robbed me of an hours sleep each night, thereby talk ins from my efficiency. It undoubt- edly worked in the same manner wit, others besides myself.
 I have no doubt that there were more deaths from influenza as re- suit of lowered vitality among the ''victims'' of daylight saving.
 To whose pleasure does it add? To that of the man or woman working easy hours and beginning work not later than a. m. To whom is it burdensome, injurious and inconven- tent? To the farmers who must arise in the dim hours of early morning, to tho railroad and trolley employees who start their day when all tho daylight saving enthusiasts are snug in bed and to any and all men and women who commence work not later than 2 a. m-
 To be sure, you now and then hear some one who is not obliged to arise early, loudly extolling the great bene- fits of early rising, but you can also occasionally find someone who enjoys the flavor of green plums or the sweet odor of kerosene.
 This is one of the most purely sell fish things that has even been infiict- ed on the people who can't help themselves. I recently read some thing of yours wherein you expressed the opinion that the people who arc against daylight saving should be generous and uuselfish and consider the poor things who keep bankers hours and let them have a little more time to enjoy themselves. How about the advocates. of daylight saving showing bit of altruism and unsel- fishness and considering the common critters" who. are forced out to com- mence their labors when all sensible people are more comfortable in bed.
 This morning I heard trolleyman speaking to a lady on his car.> She said something about the early hour Git was then 9:3O) and he said Early. do you call this early? Why, 1 have been up five hours. I get up at 4:3o."

might feel that times were better. if there were more dollars in circula- tion. There remains another step to be taken, however. before the full value Of that increase may be real ized. Work must be more plentiful
 With the purchasing value of the dollar thus increased. and with the coming of more work for everyone, provided the prices are not again raised, we may feel that we are just eighteen cents richer on every dollar we earn or possess than we were a year ago. Until the condition of unemployment ceases we will not realize to the fullest extent just all this more valuable dollar" means to all of us.

trouble in condemning the meat pro- viding that it was under four weeks old. and we assume that it was, as being unfit to eat. The state laws would have upheld him. It has been done here, time and again, in bob veal' cases. Simply because he was within his rights was small excuse for suggesting that it be shipped out of the state. Of course Alderman Paones- sa was hopeIessly in the minority when he criticized the doctor for his alleged action, of course we are in the minor ity as far as upholding the Alderman goes. But-nevertheless and not with standing-had it been Mayor Curtis who had taken exception to the action of the Health Superintendent-wh You know the rest.

wHITEwASHING DIR. HARRIS

The finding of the Corporation Counsel as submitted to the Common Council last evening as regards the shipment of alleged bob veal into the state of Massachusetts with the con- sent and approval of the Superinten- dent of the Health Department and the disapproval of Alderman Paonessa of the Sixth ward, is undoubtedly an admirable document from many onerates the Superintendent. The Counsel states that the Health De- partment had no right to prevent the shipment of meat assuming that the calves in question were wholesome and fit to eat" It was at the instigation of Alderman Paonessa that an inquiry was ordered into the case which oc- cured some months ago And. if we remember right. the Alderman took exception to advice which is SUD- posed to have come from the Health Department to ship the calves out of the state.
 The document states that there is no minimum age limit, as far as the United States laws are concerned, for meat. providing it is sound. The state of Connecticut prohibits the sale of calves under four weeks old. Also that the Health Department has no right to condemn meat. unless it be impure or unfit to eat.
 But. the big fact remains that the meat was not allowed to be sold in !. this state or city by pr. Harris also that the Alderman alleges that he ad- vised that it be sold in another. He was. according to the city law official, perfectly within his legal rights in from our markets. Legally he may have been right. or rather he was not wrong. but from an ethical standpoint 1t certainly seems as If he should have taken pains to see that the v4Al was not sold anywhere. If it was not it to eat under our state laws he was not morally justified in advising the owner to ship it out to another s.ate as AL derman Paonessa claims he did The document of Judge Kirkham proves that he may not be prosecuted for what he did assuming that the meat was fit to eat. but 1t cannot prove that he is acting in the best fulhllment of his public office when he advises that meat that is at least questionable under out statutes be showed onto an,,hor conn rnunfty where the laws d,

"JEST RUNIINATIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

When folks are young they see no joy in later life worth while: when folks gets old they longs to live despite each weary mile they've travelled as they passed along; despite un- happy days-an' life is far more pleasant when they think O things that pays-not dividends in money, not in silver nor in gold, but things that pays in other ways the tale that can't be told. Unthinkin' is part O life; first childhood, then brave youth: beyond this line there comes the dawn O somethin' like the truth. Give childhood an give youth its joys, but let 'em understand that most O life ain't spent in that care free, unthinkin' land. An let 'em know the seed they SOW when young most allus thrives, to influence the greater part of all their thinkin' lives. Bout twenty years will start 'em out; what sort will be the end-the sixty that will follow, on that twenty will depend. Don't eat your cake right up," says that or briar pipe O mine, but save it for the later years O life that will be thine."

The lady said. What will you do when they have daylight saving in Hartford?" The man said. Well, ! shall have to get up at 3:3O a. m. But it is no matter if the bankers get what they want.'' By bankers, he meant, of course, the men who work short hours.
 There 1t Is in nut shell. It is a measure that has been adopted and forced upon the people who do tha hard. unpleasant work of the world arising normally at unpleasantly ear- ly hours to do 1t, for the sake of the pleasure and enjoyment of those who have the lightest and easiest work. That it has ever benefited anyone to any great extent, aside from giving them more pleasures, when they al- ready had enough, very much doubt.

TAP MATTERS.

Reports have it that the American note to Japan stating the position of the United States has not changed Japan's ideas in regard to the Yap mandate granted her. There is another complication in the fact of agreements made by the Allies with Japan before the United, States entered the war.
 The present trouble seems to be. on the face of it, the fact that Japan at least pretends to feel she may act only through the Supreme Council. If the mandate has been granted her, she must, unwillingly or willingly, take the good things she has been given.
 There can be no question about the United States. If the matter were in a court of law in this or any other civilized country. the case of the United States would be very plain indeed.
 The name of the United States was signed to a contract without the au- thority of the United States. Thus the matter may be plainly put. The United States may not allow procedure and the Allies know it. It is impossible to conceive that they will allow this section to remain without reconsider ation.
 If a man gives some property to three other men to share and two of the recipients give their property to someone else, pretending that it comes from the three to whom it has been tion, no matter what informal words have been said by the party who does not join in the gift to the outsider. And we have it on the authority of former President Wilson that he made no promises which would bind the United States, even morally, to give the island of Tap to Japan.
 Japan may bow to the Supreme Council-to the decision of the allies or she may not. Certainly she would if that decision was favorable to her 1t is doubtful if she would, unless com- pelled to do so. if the decision were to be adverse.
 Meanwhile the United States must stand on the position she has taken. And meanwhile, once again the United States may regret that she is not more closely in touch with her former as- when will they be acknowledged?

Loss Of Fast Ball Pitcher Kept Crit

Last Year-Record Has Been
Sensational.

Walter Johnson, the human ma
chinegun of Clark Griilith's cunning
corps for more than ten years, is COM
ing back strong in 1921.
This is the threat Of the greatest
fast-ball pitcher that ever wore a
glove, after having been forced to !Cy
aside the uniform in the early part Of
1920, due to a cold contracted in the
muscles of his gun-arm.
The blow of losing Walter Johnson
sent the Senators down to the bottom
of the pile at the moment when it ap-
peared as though Griffith might finish
in the first division. 1t was shortly
after the famous pitcher had hurled
the first no-hit nO-run game of his
entire career against the Boston Red
SoX that he contracted the ailment
which finished him for the year.
The arm of the pitching king be-
came weak and he lost the terrific
speed that for years terrorized Ameri-
can league sluggers. He tried treat
ments Of all varieties, but none Of
them seemed to have the desired eff
feet. Finally Johnson went to ROches-
ter, where his arm was treated for
several weeks. He was told to take a
long rest and he followed instructions.
Now King Walter is ready for the
ball once more, according to his own
belief
JohnsOn's record with the Washing
ton club has been sensational in every
respect. For years Griffith has been
struggling along with mediocre out
fit that never was better than second
division material.
In 1910 Johnson startled fandom by
winning 25 games with one of the
poorest teams in the league. Since
