AsoLIsHEs DAYLIGHT SAVING

England has discarded daylight say.
ing time and is now working again I'M
der Greenwich time, summer time hav-
ing ended on last Monday. 1t is stated
that the daylight saving plan will not
be resumed In the future. In an article
written by DR.. Benjamin Moore, pro
feSsor of bio-chemistry at oxford, and
published in the London Times, the
doctor is credited with the statement
that from the health point Of view day
light saving in summer is not bene-
fetal but an evil, especially during a
season of intense sunshine and high
temperature. Doctor Moore contends
that the plan of advancing the clocks
one hour during the summer months
Is particularly Instantaneous to
school children, agricultural interests
and some Industrial workers. We are
very glad to learn that one country at
least Is going to abandon all foolish
ness about daylight saving and we
trust that the United States will be-
come sane on this proposition In the
near future and that we may not have
this plan in force another year any
where In this country, says the Wis
consin Agriculturist. 1t is dlsadyan-
tage, as the doctor claims, TO school
children and especially TO the great
agricultural interests of this country,
and is opposed quite generally by or
gained labor. 1t should be abandoned.
as It Is Of no advantage whatever, ex-
cept to a few people who want hours
OF leisure in the early afternoon so
that they may tour the country in au.
tomobies and play golf or some other
amusement.

GERMAN GAINS
BREATHING: SPACE
THREE YEARS DELAY FOR IN.
DEMNITY PAYMENTS-AGREE.
MENT SAID TO HAVE BEEN
REACHED WITH ONLY AC-
TUAL DETAILS REMAINING.

Paris Dec. 6.-Germany will prob
ably be granted a three years delay
in her cash indemnity payments,
the Associated Press is Informed
from the most reliable source. Nego-
tiations are now going on between
reparations officials of France and
Great Britain and the responsible Of
fcials of both countries virtually
agree that Germany must be given a
breathing spell. All that remains to
be done is to work out scheme &C.
ceptable to both countries.
The suggestion of three year
! moratorium has been abandoned at
the. earnest solicitation of France.
The French representatives explain
ed that the word moratorium was
especially offensive to the French
people in connection with the indem-
nifty inasmuch as it was understood
as meaning complete suspension! of
payments of all kinds.
The greatest progress has been
made in the last few days in bring
ing the French and British view
points together; the result Of this
progress has been the decision to
give Germany a chance to regain a
normal status.
The reparations holiday can not
be used by Germany as a means of
evading all future payments of in
demnity, French officials explain
but it is being considered so that
Germany will better be able at the
end of two Or three years to fulfill
her reparation obligations and she
then must be prepared to pay in full
a reasonable indemnity"
The whole problem will be formal
Iy placed before the reparations
commission when the German reply
to the last reparation note is receiv-
ed probably at the end of this week.
In the meantime the officials are
working hard to reach a common
plan of action. Numerous sugges-
tions are under consideration.

CHICAGO WOMAN KILLS
NElcHBoR's BABY GIRL
When Police Find Body in Base
ment Stove She Takes Her Own
Life With a Bread Knife.

Chicago Dec. 3.-The dismember-
ed and partly cremated body of
three year-old Margaret Coughlin
was found today by the police in a
stove in the basement of the home
of Ralph Penses. In bedroom up
stairs the police found the body of
Mrs. Penses, AZ years old. She had
committed suicide with bread knife
while the police were battering
down the door.
The little girl was the daughter of
South Park policeman who lived
across the street. AS neighbors go the
Coughlin and the Penses families
were friendly and the child crossed
the street most every day. On Wed
uesay afternoon she disappeared af-
ter she had gone to the Penses home
to play.
Mrs. Penses pretended to help in
the all-night search which followed.
She sat in the Coughlin home caring
for Margaret's younger brother until
3 a. m. This morning she hurried her
husband and her daughters off to
work and school kissing them good
bye.
AS soon as they had left she locked
the doors and windows and went to
the basement. With saws and hatch
ct she cut up the baby's body. The
legs and one arm were wrapped in
newspapers and stuffed into the
stove where a brisk fire had been
started. The torso was hidden in a
wash boiler the head and one arm
were bundled up in papers and Mrs.

PRUNING OF FRUIT TREES
Peach, Plum and Apple Trees Should
Be Pruned In Early Winter

Clemson College Dec. 6.-Fruit
trees such as peaches, plums and
apples should ibe pruned during the
late fall and winter months. At this
season the farmer as rule has
more spare time than at any
other. The trees may be pruned when
the soil is too wet for general farm
work.
1t is necessary to spray fruit trees
if profitable crop of fruit is to be
produced say the Clemson horticul-
turists. In order that the sprays may
be applied properly it is essential
that he trees be pruned before the
spray is applied. The time for apply
ing the winter spray is during Janu-
ary and February Immediately after
the trees have been pruned.
The surplus large branches should
be thinned so that the sunlight may
reach all parts Of the tree and thus
cause the fruit spurs on all lateral
branches to develop. If the tree is
left too thick fruit will form only on
the outer branches where the sun
light reaches them. After the tree has
been thinned properly the limbs
should be shortened back to at least
one half of the previous seasons
growth. If this is done every fall the
limbs will become stocky and better
able to support heavy crop.
In pruning apples it is not neces-
sary to prune back the branches of
the previous seasons growth if the
tree has reached bearing age; all that
is necessary is to thin out interfering
limbs and shorten IN any branches
that may be growing too rapidly so
that the tree may be properly bal
anced. Water sprouts or Inside
branches near the fork of the tree
should be removed.
Both peach and apple trees should
be pruned low so the branches when
weighted down with fruit will almost
touch the ground. This will protect
the body of the tree from the sun
and at the same time aid greatly in
the harvesting of the fruit.

quaintance without the: formality of
an introduction. Others manifested
signs of unjustifable indignation;
others entirely ignored the question
and one answered that she powdered
her nose to conceal the luster.
All of which this correspondent
AYERS is highly interesting as well as
instructive. This correspondent has
long wondered at the women for the
various methods they employ and has
finally decided they do great many
foolish things to make their women
friends jealous for they certainly are
not silly enough to think many of
their habits please the men.
Here's the opinion of the "beauty
specialist" Of this news service:
The cure for the shiny nose lies,
not in the use of/cosmetics, which
frequently clog the pores Of the skin
and aggravate the disorder, but to
healthful and useful exercise and
above all, abstention from rich and
oily foods. Another thing to prevent
a red slick nose exercise the muscles
of the nose daily by elevating it to-
ward the eyebrows. This program
can be facilitated by reading this
news story to- any number of the
halfIbaked persons who give more at
tention to the powder bag than they
do to their baby.

FORD GIVES WHY
Of MUSCLE SHOALS
SAYS THAT HE DESIRES TO OWN
BIG POWER SITE NOT FOR
. THE PURPOSE OF RICHES BUT
FOR THE GOOD OF COMMON
WEALTH.

Florence, Ala, Dec. 6.-"1 don't
want Muscle Shoals to own it.
want Muscle Shoals to complete it.
It's a wonderful job, one of the great
est opportunities ever offered any
man.
sT want Muscle Shoals so that it
can never be exploited to greedy pri-
yate ends. l want to complete is so
that it will always remain in the
service of the people and not to be
exploited by greedy financiers and
so-called bankers against people.
81 want Muscle Shoals because
Muscle Shoals properly built will
help to put an end to war"
Standing on the incomplete VIII
son dam Saturday, Henry Ford volc-
ed his real reasons for desiring to
undertake what he regards as the
greatest job in his career.
Thomas A. Edison, tall, angular
stood by his side wisp of his white
hair blowing in the breeze, shading
his eyes with his hand against the
binding rays of a declining sun.
GIVE got all the money I can ever
want, more than Edison can ever
want more than I can ever hope to
spend if tried to spend it on my
self, Mr.. Ford continued. "Now as
the result of the last great war, the
chance has come to me to undertake
the completion of the project which
if built as it should be ought to be
a source of national wealth and well
being for 1000 years.
Muscle Shoals should become
Americas greatest asset out of the
World war"
Gigantic steam shovels with four
to six times the capacity of the
ordinary contractors steam shovels,
will enable Mr.. Ford to complete the
great Wilson dam in half the time
and at almost half the cost previously
estimated by the government engi-
neers.
It was the inventive genius of Mr..
Edison applied to the problem OF
construction of the Wilson dam, that
evolved the plan for the new shovel
with its gargantuan NAV that will
soon be crushing its way across the
bed of the Tennessee river.
Not only has Mr.. Edison perfected
the plans for the new power shovels
but he already has completed SHOW
els working at his plant in New Jer'
sey.
It was because he knew OF Mr.
Edison's shovel and its effectiveness
on great constructive enterprise that
Mr.. Ford was so confident his organ
ization could successfully handle the
completion of the dam project, Mr.
Ford announced after turning from
his inspection of the dam.
