 over on those who have to be at their machines when they start. In one shop, a superintendent stood by the ballot box while the workers were voting and watch ed how they voted. He had just previ- ously finished harangue for the day. light plan and followed it up with in dividual campaigning Despite that the vote went against the plan but yet the change was adopted.
 The canvass of the big shops made by the Chamber of Commerce at first also showed a big majority against the day light saving plan but a number of the chamber members were for 1t and the chamber therefore nOnchalantly decided that the first vote didn't express the true sentiment of the workers and started an- other poll. That, too, resulted against the plan but the voters (the workers) simply got 1t in the neck again and were in structed to come in an hour earlier. When they get through they can go home and work in their gardens, if they have any, and If they haven't they can go to bed an hour earlier and get ready for the next days work.
 So far the city as the city, has shown good judgment in refusing to monkey with the time clocks. The board of education started to do so this week, but was held up and the matter put up to the corporation counsel. On the whole the situation is more ridiculous than the situation arising from the 18th amend ment. Those who violate the latter do so because they want to. Those who are trying to live up to standard or day light times are up against proposition so they don't know what they're doing and feel just as if they are cheating themselves at solitaire

REJECT BILL TO
 DIVIDE THE STATE
 INTO 50 DISTRICTS
House Hangs Onto Farmers Pow CTS but Cut New Haven
 Into B Wards.

There will not be 50 senatorial dis tricts in Connecticut this coming year at least, although the legislature did gener ouslv pass a bill to cut New Haven up into B wards to break up the political cliques that were springing up III the local republican ranks and becoming too strong for the Big Bosses to control. The 50 senatorial districts bill was sum- marily ruled 'out of Order' by the House committee on constitutional amendments this week and will be reported in un- venes next week. It was offered by Rep rcsentatv Fred L. Perry of New Haven and intended to give more proper repre- sentatiOn to the larger cities and towns. The bill also cut the House membership down to one from each town and that killed the bill, because the farmers that now control everything up Hartford way couldn't see their number being de- pleted.
 The committee will, however, report favorably a bill providing for consti- tutional amendment making the age of retirement for judges 75 years instead of 70 years as at present. The resolu- ton, if adopted by the House, must lay over two years and be passed by the Senate and then will later have to be duOplCO Dy d SCllCI al lCICl lSlldlilll NOtN.
 The bill providing B wards for New Haven was engineered through by the republican committee and the city made a checkerboard of politics. The big wards are divided piecemeal, with the idea of controlling them, the Ninth for instance, being cut into five wards. AL dermen-at-l large are abolished and an | alderman will represent each of the B wards.
 One peculiar situation is shown in the division of the Ninth. One of the new wards will comprise practically the en- tire colored vote of the city, which oi late has shown tendency to give Mayor FitzGerald some support. The colored vote has always been claimed by the re- publicans and by having them placed al together i'll one ward, any defection 1T their ranks can readily be determienc and the source sought out and shut off.

HENDRIX STUDENT
 BODY INCREASES

Running ahead of matriculation for the opening day of any previous ses- sion, Hendrix College this afternoon at 2:30 had enrolled 222 students and the work was being carried forward as rapidly as the college staff could handle applicants. The same work will be continued through Thursday and possible will be completed by night so that classes may be organized and work started Friday morning. Registration thus far has more than justified the hope of Hendrix officials for attendance this year.
 Informal exercises to open the ses- sion were held in the auditorium this morning at II o'clock. A brief ad- dress was made by Dr. John Hugh Reynolds, the president, who returns after one years absence, and the stu dents were welcomed to the city of Conway by Rev. c. M. Reyes, pastor of the First Methodist church. Other visitors on hand to welcome the stu dent body were Doak s. Campbell president of Central, and Rev. R. L. Jetton, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Ministers from other cities were also in the audience, which com- pletely filled the auditorium.

HARRISON SPEAKS
 TO TEACHERS HERE

James J. Harrisn of Little Rock, director of the forward education movement, addressed teachers at tending the county institute this morn- ing at the State Normal School, his speech dealing with the purposes and progress of the campaign to improve the states system of public school education. MT. Harrison's splendid presentation of the subject was well received by the educators.
 The campaign now is being direct ed toward securing 100, per cent en- rollment of the teachers of the state and also the enrolment set for the citizens section. These two goals will be reached during the month, Mr. Harrison thinks, or early in October, and then the campaigners will be ready to undertake constructive work which w:ll benefit all public schools in Arkansas. Their program is an ambitious one and will stretch over a period of years.
 Teachers of this county probably will reach 100 per cent enrolment this week or next, when the institute for urban teachers will be held at the high school Some work also has been done to increase the membership of the citizens section This phase of the general campaign will be renew ed and pushed later in the year.

GOLDEN STATE CAT
 TOUTED AS PRODIGY

That Faulkner county cat which has by training become a good squirrel dog," as described in a recent issue of the Log Cabin Democrat, is equalled in animal sagacity by cat at San Bernardino, Calf. This animal, ac- cording to the Akron Times, earns it's board by catching rabbits. The Times says:
 Mrs. s. c. Smith, who resides near Claremont, has cat that earns his own board. His name is Tiger and every day for some time, he has been going out into the fields near the Smith home and bringing back rab- bit. When thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned, said cotton tail furnishes meat for the Smith family. And a choice we'll cooked piece always goes to Tiger. He's happy and he's cutting down the high cost of living for the Smith family"
