MIR. Marks Challenged.
An Opponent Of Daylight Saving
Offers 10 Convert Him.

TO THE New York HERALD: You call
attention 10 the fact that Europe beats
America in saving Of daylight, mas
much as England. France and Belgium
put their clocks ahead one hour at !
A. NJ, Monday, March 81. while Man
haitian and a few other Eastern cities,
and I believe the State of Massachu-
setts, will not advance its clocks until
April 80.
You do not, however. say that France
has found that daylight saving is not
the unqualified blessing Marcus NJ.
Marks would have everybody believe
that it is. and has served notice that
with this year the so-called daylight
saving in France will finish. Mr.. Marks
says that daylight saving will be more
general in the United States this sum-
mer than ever before, Philadelphia, At
lantic City. Pittsburgh and several New
England cities having been converted TO
the cause, and that the only remaining
opponents are found in the backwoods
where they say THE Lord made the time
and 1t is blasphemy to tinker with It,"
To Mr.. Marks and a great many OF
his associates in his national body time
means simply the divisions on the face
OF q clock, while to the backwoods men
time is the seasonal division of the day
with it's atmospheric phenomena as laid
out by the Creator of the universe In
His wonderful scheme for providing the
necessities OF life for His creatures.
From time immemorial small bodies
0. men vain in the imagination OF their
own hearts have tried TO alter the pro-
found laws of nature, from the building
OF the Tower of Babel down through the
ages TO this august body. the National
Association for Daylight Saving. which
with it's magnificent attempt to improve
the habits of our dear old Mother Earth
will only fail. as have all the others
who have gone before.
France, which in the past has expert
mented with natural law moro than
any other nation, has seen the folly OF
IT and will give it up. II Mr.. Marks Will
come out to my farm here in the back
woods OF New Jersey, seventy-fivc min
utes from Broadway, when his daylight
saving is in fun swing, will guaran-
tee IN one week TO make him the most
enthusiastic supporter of the Lords
time and he viii lead his flock back TO
nature and nature's time in 1928.

and workers are to continue their
scale negotiations. both Of them, nc
doubt, with a shrewd eye on the fall
ing levels in the coal bins.
But the mine owners and the union
workers in the vastly more impor'
tant bituminous fields are not and
have not been negotiating new terms.
The operators have resolutely de-
clined to go into conference with the
leaders Of the miners on any ques'
tions. They have insisted that they
themselves must make the scales,
which must be governed by the eco
nomic conditions of the country and
by the aggressive competition OF the
non-union producers.
The bituminous unions charge bad
faith against the owners in refusing
to go into conference with the union
scale committees, since the now ex'
pired contract between the two sides
contained an agreement that there
should be conferences to negotiate a
new contract to take the place OF the
old one after midnight last Friday.
On the other hand, the owners de.
clare that it would be useless for
them to negotiate the only kind OF
contract the bituminous miners would
accept, since under such contract
they would not be able to do business
in competition with the non-union
producers.
And so it appears at this opening
OF the great coal strike as if, in the
bituminous fields, at least, it would
be fight to the finish.

The Birth OF the Daffodll.

Reached down through mass and mold
And woke the bulb asleep within

Tho sun came out and warmed ths

Was cropping In the clods of earth
To fiud the kindly light.
The south wind blew across the fields,

other hand, condition against which
the author must struggle. He must
make his problem much more intense
and he must increase the effective
ness of his humor il he would keep
his audience interested and amused.
There must be some substitute for the
variety that a larger number of fig
ures create, and in order that the
public may be engrossed in a few
characters these must be doubly inter
esting in what they do or what they
say. Yet the manager is usually will

The atmosphere OF mystery that per-
vades the stories OF the Antigonisl poll
tergeist is attributable to some extent tc
the locale OF the performances. The
scene OF action is a hamlet the very
name OF which strs the imaginative fac
ulties. No more appropriate habitat for
q ghost could be found on the North
American continent.
| In considering extraordinary or SUI
pernatural phenomena the scene Of ac-
tion is OF the highest Importance. To
the credulous denizens of these States
a pleiosaurus in the Mississippi River
would be much less mysterious than a
plesiosaurus in an inland Patagonan
lake.
What am about to relate bears upon
the truth OF this assertion.
The incident happened not long ago
IN the prosaic city of Albany. II it had
happened in Paris or Petrograd or even
! in Pittsburgh or Buffalo it would have
! invited no little discussion, especially
in circles interested in psychic re-
| search, but in Albany 1t received scarcely
any attention at all. being dismissed
either with an Indifferent shrug of the
| shoulders or with expressions OF bored
incredulty. For Albany being the true
home of the prosaic admits nothing that
| is out OF the ordinary. Whatever hap
pens there must be accounted for in ac-
cordance with natural laws, impulses
and reactions.
II was in these prosaic environs that
the incident to which / have alluded
happened.
! shall set down the facts exactly as
they occurred except that for obvious
reasons I shall use fictitious names in
referring to certain persons and streets.
One evening last September my friend
Henderson and I were returning home
after spending the evening playing
| bridge at social club in the Pine Hills
| district.
1t was well after midnight as we
turned into Clyde street, narrow
| thoroughfare fringed on both sides for
considerable distance with tail. we'll
foliaged trees. There was a three-quar-
ters moon but its light was intermit-
tent. the sky being strewn with heavy
broken clouds.
We were walking rather slowly, snlok-
! ing and enjoying the cool air and the
first mellow touch OF autumn. The
night was very still everything seemed
agrecably tranquil
As we approached the center OF a
block OF rather ancient structures used
principally for residential purposes my
attention was attracted to a two story
house on my immediate left the lower
part OF which was in semidarkness
while the two upper windows were
brightly lighted.
What attracted my attention was a
rustling sound at the front door which
was raised about four feet from the
level of the street and was reached by
stone steps flanked with iron ratings.
Involuntarily I slackened my pace
just as Henderson. who was on my right
slackened his and laid his hand on my
arm.
| At tho same instant the moon rode
wholly clear OF bank OF clouds and
the entire front OF the house stood out
clearly in its mellow radiance. Not a
living thing was in sight. We had both
stopped.
Il thought some one was trying to
/ get in" said Henderson.
II did too I replied; 'it seemed as
| II some one was fumbling at the lock"
AS we stood staring at the door the
rustling sound shifted to the lower win

Central Park West.
Another Subway Wanted In Addition
TO Existing Tracks.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: We
need more cur lines on the West Side,
To take up the tracks on Columbus
avenue would be a calamity and make
matters worse. Central Park West can
not carry the crowds.
Building another subway under Hud-
son street, Eighth avenue and Central
Park West, or the Park. from Fifty
ninth street 10 104th or 10th street,
then branching cast and west, might
meet the trouble.
The sidewalk on the park front is
too wide. and tho west walk Of Central
Park West could be cut down to furnish
more room for the carriagoway. Then
II subway was built under It or un-
der the Park on the west side the
crowds might be carried without re-
moving any other surface tracks.
Tho one way traffic rule does not
help If the street was wider there
would be room enough for the travel

also other subjects, In all OF which

These prizes are all OF substantial
pecuniary value and the winners be.
come marked men. not only among
their fellows but also with the gen.
eral public. Unquestionably the wide
range OF these subjects gives opportu-
nifty for special talent to make mark
and also helps to develop the intel
lectual powers or the men VINO take
part in the competitions. 1t is ar.
gucd also that besides being OF great
value as a stimulus to intellectual
activity and ambition these competi-
tions help TO explain why graduates
of oxford as well as Cambridge, which
has similar prizes, often achieve early
in life distinction In scholarship.
In American institutions OF learn
ing subjects of this kind are less
emphasized. Examination OF the
list Of oxford prize subjects shows
that few OF them concern the class
OF subjects to which the topic chosen
by the Colby debating team belongs.

MERGER TALK PUTS
MIDYALE STEEL UP
Bethlehem Plans Control in
Addition to Lackawanna,
Is Report.

The epidemic of merger madness has
not disappeared from the financial dis
trict and yesterday. as the result Of new
rumors a steel mergers. certain steel
stocks were bid up sharply to new high
levels. The Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Corporation was the center Of the excite
ment as a result of reports that the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation was plan
ming to acquire that company. as well
as the Lackawanna Steel Company. In
terests Identified with the proposed
merger of six steel companies. including
the Midvale, denied that such a step was
contemplated. but no statement could be
obtained at the Midvale or the Bethle-
hem offices.
Thomas l.. Chadbourne. attorney for
the six company group, issued state
n1ent declaring that the heads of the
six companies had agreed to notify the
entire group II negotiations with any
outside concern were started. No such
notification had been received. Mr..
Chadbourne said. He scoffed at the
thought that Midvale officials would
enter into these negotiations without
notifying the others.
First intimations Of an official char
acter as to the possible preferred stock
and bond capitalization of the new con-
solidated steel company were contained
in Mr.. Chadbourne's statement He set
forth that the new corporation would
have fixed charges and preferred divi-
dend requirements Of only $1.10 ton
OF ingot output, which would amount to
s9,020,000 on the estimated ingot ca
pacity of the consolidated concerns and
would be but $330.000 more than the
combined interest charges and preferred
dividend requirements Of the six COM
panIes involved. which would indicate,
on an interest basis of per cent, that
the preferred stock and bonds of the
new concern would not be more than
$1,000. 900 more than the aggregate OBJ
legations and senior stock of the six con-
Germs. The total bonded indebtedness
Of those companies is about $89.00o,000
and their preferred stock outstanding.
