How did our first experience In day

and the jlg was up. II would not
bibber. Our congress repealed the
National Daylight Saving law and
passed IL over the presidents veto.
and 81 ia a dead law now except 20
trouble makers. IN 1918 the con-
gress created the more daylight law
as a war measure. probably for the
period OF the war. But the war IS
over now and no more war-gardens
will be created. but there are as
many cats and dogs in the city for
the police TO MAIN and cripple, as in
1918.
If the c. Of c wants to do a fair
thing let them give all residents a
vote on the daylight saving Ordin-
ance. But most people prefer the
line Of least resistance. which is an
easy way OF getting by.
Now while we are saying things
We want to mention the great
stunt introduced in our city schools,
OF weighing. measuring and examin-
ing the pupils. A number Of them
were said 10 be underwclght. Some.
it was learned were 10 - pounds
/ shy. A milk diet or treatment was
recommended. One girl who was
reported 10 pounds short began the
treatment at the end OF six days
] she was said TO have gained six
pounds. What a stunt While this
one girl was 10 pounds short, though
growing like a weed, others were 10
rounds above the average, and they
also took the milk treatment, prob
ably to reduce their weight. on the
same theory OF the man who drank
beer in the summer 10 make him
cool, and in winter to make him
warm.
Was the milk doped. 10 increase
weight or decrease il. or doped at
all. II short weight was a sign of
failing health. how about over
weight. Will milk retard too much
adipose tissue. As an encourage
m+nt the pupils were requested 10
pay in advance, and were hurried
while drinking the nauseating
stufi. Then the school principal got
tired of the interruption. so the
milk cure is dying out. Well let it
die.

SPEAK ONLY FOR THEMSELVES.

Eultof NeWb-llmeS:
The morning Issue OF the News
Times carries a statement signed by
the Catholic clergy, and opposing
the proposed daylight saving plan
While it is a fact that there is
now in effect an ordinance which
provides for daylight saving in
South Bend, and which cannot be
affected by mere protest OF certain
individuals. the public should know
that the letter in question which
carries with IT a statement OF the
membership OF the various congre-
cations. is merely a protest OF the
individual pastors and not a protest
from the entire membership of these
churches.
Returns on the QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the Chamber of Commerce
indicate that the majority Of fair
minded people arc in favor OF day
light saving. No canvass has been
made among the members of the
congre cations represented by these
pastors, but I venture the belief
that if straw vote is taken, the ma
jority OF these men and women will
favor continuance of the present
ordinance.

lighter receipts in the aggregate at the
