DAYLIGHT SAVING AGAIN.

The State Senate has properly killed
the bill To repeal daylight saving
which Its committee reported. We shall
therefore remain ms we were, since II
would require the concurrent action
of both houses to make any change
In the existing daylight saving law;
we shall retain the benencent addi-
ton of two of the loveiicst hours IF
the day TO our time for our vacations
and avocations. The law has worked
well for the great majority Of the
people of this Commonwealth. and
that Is about all that can reasonably
be asked OF any law. Even those VINO
benefit Ivy 1t win seriously regret
the disadvantage which the farmers
feel as the result of Il. But In this
case the interest and desire of .he
great majority. IN our almost purely
industrial and commercial State, nee
essarily prevail over that of the
minority.
In replacing the repeal measure re-
ported by its committee. the Senate
adopted resolve To provide for an in

Mayor Harvey has designated the
period Of April 3 TO s. inclusive. as
Cleanup Week" in Wilmington.
Well. we need week OF thorough

mayor and devote all Of it to a gen

advice. and 1t Ia hoped the entire COM
