Love Thy Neighbor as. Thyself

To the Editor Of the Epenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-Thc "Nlistrcss and Maid" con-
ference now in session in the Peoples

because the household servant problem
of today is closely allied to the slavery
question of the past; the employment
agency Is q near relative of the slave
mart.

The letters of "Mrs. w. l.. N" and
Bessie l.. Hare, dated February II,
were concrete types Of the .pith OF the
trouble, exposing the fundamental
cause. viz, that Familiarity breeds
contempt. A home is so personal that

that it so exists. But it exists only for

Opposes Daylight Saving

To the Editor Of the Ercnino Public Ledger:
Sir-May | express my views on the
daylight saving, saving daylight, or.
in other words. clocks turned forward
TO suit the folks who are not compelled
to get up and go forth early to the
daily grind. In wartimcs we were all
willing to do our bit. People were
working early and late. but at present
with so many men unemployed. why
turn tire clocks to fool ourselves? The
advocates Of the clocks turned forward
are. in the majority. people who have
one or more cars. play golf and live in
some nowery kingdom like Drive Lin
coln.' The wife Of a well known busi-
ness man who is greatly in favor of
the daylight saving is quoted as saying
it gave the working girl more time for
recreation to play golf. tennis, etc.
Talk is cheap. but it takes money to
buy bread. l have worked at clerical

when the daylight saving says arise
| am not alone in my views on the
foolish clock turning. Were it possi-

Sir-Music lovers are certainly graft.
ned to note that "jazz" is rapidly
nearing its last days, II II is not already
entirely a. thing Of the past. Fritz
kreisler, the famous violinist, holds the
view that there is only one kind Of
music and that is good music. "When
music can be called bad" says the
great virtuoso. 1T ceases to be music.
lt simply becomes rhythmic noise."
Ihis. In my opinion, is absolutely true.
Noise. most assurcdly, is not music,
and to one with a sensitive musical ear
"jazz' was an abomination.
