one of our skyscrapers where never a
ray OF sunlight penetrates. My home
Is situated in one Of the drab parts of
the city. However, after the change of
time some two years ago I found day
light hours in which to cultivate tiny
garden in the back yard adjoining the
house where l live.
This spring there came troop OF
brilliant daffodils to greet me, and now
there is glorious row of tulips. but
alas, for the last ten days they have
gone to sleep when ! reached them in
the evening or else il has been too dark
to see them at ALL but next week will
come the new arrangement OF our day
time hours and my tulips will not be
sleepy and the narcissus will greet me
and there will be time in which 10 tend
them and TO plant the seeds that lie in
their little packets waiting on my leis-
ure after business hours.
And for this delight that has come
into my life | would In a measure thank

agreement and if they ask President

A Sentence to Strike Terror.

The punishment dealt by Judge
RosALsKY to the Washington Square
burglars, DIAsET and BAGNoLI, should
be enough, in the Judges words, ITO
strike terror to the hearts OF all
evildoers." A sentence of not less
than forty or more than sixty years
in prison is in effect life SEN
tence. Serving the minimum, DIAsET
would be so years old at his release;
BAGNoLI "A. There could remain
nothing in the outer world for men
who had been in prison forty years.
For all of its length. the sentence
was not too severe. The crime was
atrocious. 1t was by the merest
chance that Mr.. and Mrs. SHATTUcK
and their employees escaped from the
alright vault in which the robbers
locked them. DIAsET and BAGNoLI
knew. when they imprisoned the
household, that their act was likely
to cause the death of the ten victims.
They were willing to add murder to
robbery.
When the bandits realize that the
machinery of the law has so tight.
ened that crime is really punished
New York will have less crime.

Chasing a Wet Rainbow.
Advice 10 These Who Would Modify
the VOlStead Law.

TO THE New YORK HERALD: Louis
Seibold in a recent Washington dispatch
said that criticism and condemnation or
the Volstead law and prohibition in gen.
eral made little or no impression on
Congress that without a rea asonable sub
sttute for the prohibition enforcement
law il was extremely doubtful whether
any progress would be made in the dr.
rection of changing this much abused
law That is about the substance OF
what Mr.. Seibold said
This obvious truth does not appear
to have had any effect on our misguided
anti-prohbition friends. who merrily
proceed on their way as they engage in
the pleasing pastime of chasing rain
bows. 1t is an axiom of politics that
you cannot beat somebody with no
body" This applies equally to what the
Observation-Disclosures are aiming at Which
recalls the neat observation made by a
political expert that lit may be good
mental gymnastics to strive for the un-
attainable, but 1t is not good politics"
That it would be desirable to modify
The Volstead law in a reasonable way Is
not disputed, but not until the extrem-
lists within the anti-prohibiton ranks
learn that governmental restriction and
regulation of the manufacture and sale
of liquor is here to stay will they make
any headway along the lines indicated.
Recognition of the fact that the abuse
of liquor is an evil and is going to be
curbed. whether these III advised peo-
pie like It or moi. might induce them to
mend their ways and offer practical
solution of the problem.

Daylight Saving.
Sentimental Reasons Against SHIFT
Ing About the Clocks Hands.

To THE New York HERALD: In addi-
ton to the numerous other objections TO
so-called daylight saving I feel sure that
there are with many persons sentimental
reasons against shifting about the hands
Of their timepieces.
From the period when clocks and
watches were invented their purpose has
been to record the true time and the
majority OF individuals form an attach
ment for a timepiece that is faithful In
the performance OF its duty or function.
Under the present arrangement these
faithful servants lie TO us. though not
through any fault of their own. More
over, the phrase daylight saving Is itself
misleading and a fraud. for while day
light may be utilized II cannot be saved.
Hence it's advocates should state frankly
that turning forward the hands Of the
clock is only an expedient for compelling
people to rise an hour earlier than they
would otherwise do. }. NJ. l..

Peru and Chile at Washington.

The Chilean ENJOYS to the confer
ence which will attempt to settle the
long standing territorial controversy
between Chile and Peru have arrived
at Washington. Since 1879 the rights
of these two nations to strip OF
Pacific coast land known as the
Tacna-Arica district has been the
subject of an unceasing and intensely
bitter dispute.
The decision of Peru early this
year to meet Chile in a conference
at Washington was practically the
first suggestion in almost forty years
OF a peaceful settlement of the ques-
tion. The territory involved in the
controversy was occupied by Chile
as a result OF the peace terms
imposed upon the Peruvians by the
Chileans at the end of a war in
which the latter had been signally
successful. The Peruvians were re-
sentful over what they considered
the exactions of their foes, especially
as the Chileans had secured in perpe-
tuity Antofagasta and Tarapaca, two
OF the richest OF the seacoast prov
inces. They asserted that these were
sufficient spoils for the victor with
out adding Tacna and africa.
The Chilean Government replied to
this point by declaring that Chile
had no intention OF seizing this terri
tory. that she was merely occupying
il. under the terms OF the treaty, un-
til the people themselves should de-
eide by popular vote whether they
would remain with Chile or revert to
Peru. The plebiscite was postponed
from time TO time. The quarrel broke
out with all its old time bitterness
last December when Chile proposed
that the plebiscite should be held.
The Peruvians asserted that the
Chileans had taken advantage OF
their temporary occupation to set up
military control and that they had
deported all the Peruvians in the
plebiscite zone. They declared that
under such conditions there could be
no doubt or Chile's victory at the
polls

When the Floods Come.

Only those who have lived on the
lower reaches of the Mississippi can
fully appreciate the anxiety which
prevails there in periods Of high water
when the great yellow food, often a
mile wide, is confined between the
huge banks which man has been
forced to build higher and higher
as the silt carried from northern
lands fills the bed of the stream.
Within a hundred miles of New
Orleans there are extensive areas
where the river has broken the levees
and inundated great stretches OF
country, drowning human beings and
live stock, destroying property of
high value. The fact that the land
in some instances has been enriched
by the alluvial deposits borne by the
flood is poor consolation to those on
whom the loss of property falls.
One Of the pastimes during the
flood period in New Orleans in the
old days was to watch the waters Of
the Mississippi flow into the open
cutters which served as drains be-
fore the installation of the present
system which discharges the rainfall
into Lake Pontchartrain. The thought
that a bank of earth from twenty to
twenty-five yards wide at its top was
all that prevented an overflow in the
city was not comforting to strangers,
but the people of New Orleans, who
love their city and the Father OF
Waters, look on the spring floods with
more or less complacency unless they
happen to have plantations in the
danger zone.
What is to be done with the Mis-
sissippi is one OF the enduring prob.
lens OF the South. The work OF
the Federal Weather Bureau in fore
casting the water stage at various
points between Cairo and New Or.
leans is helpful, as it gives warning
when the peak may be expected. The
degree OF accuracy attained by the

between 42.5 and 43 feet was fore

With these forecasts to guide them
engineers OF the Levee Board are en-.

the case. Opportunity is given to dc
whatever man can do to avert dis
