H0U Men Get Rich

more than he was asked, or ex-

better if you can. But don't let
go of one thing until you have

Sending Out Bills in
PhiLddeLDhia.

IN business it is always wise to
send out bills promptly. The
custom is to mail them on
the first Of the month, with a gen
tie statement reminder the month
following, the pressure increasing
as the period Of unpaidness
lengthens.
Some people are so unbusiness-
like and. procrastinating; they
just delay and delay until time
when it is harder to check up the
bills. They lose the Q per cent
on , ten-day collection.
Here is a case in point. The
other day Oliver Fayle, of Phila-
delphia, presented to the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania a bill
for f10O for two head of sheep
purchased for the use of the
American Revolutionary Army.
The bill is dated July 2, 1880, just
142 years ago, and Mr.. Fayle
wants to know whether it is col
lectible.
Without venturing on any Su-
preme Court decision, we feel that
there has been contributory negli-
gence on the part of Mr.. Fayle.
Why did he not send it out with
his other bills on August l, 1880,
and, if it we're not paid within
three months, put it in the hands
of a collection agency7
1t really seems he was over
patient. One hundred and forty
two years is long time to wait;
it was over -slow-even for Phila-
delphia.

either voluntarily or by Congressional action. And
the demand is from sources which at first shoutest
the loudest for this hybrid affair that is confusing
and disturbing to lives and affairs in the District
of Columbia.
perfect avalanche of letters to The Times shows
beyond any question that the people of the District
are overwhelmingly opposed to the present arrange
ment and to legal daylight saving. One or two
letters to the editor have been abusive as to the
position taken in this column, but these were
showed under by letters from people in every walk
of life earnestly requesting President HARDING to
get rid Of the existing piece of bunk, which was
put into effect without seeking the view of most Of
the workers for the Government.
If the clocks were turned forward we would get
rid of of the misunderstanding and confusion
caused by this latest piece of time Juggling but
legal daylight saving in manner alters the plain
fact that it is made for the benefit of few to the
detriment of the majority, that majority being COM
posed of housewives, children, workngmen and
servants whose hours for golf, baseball, tennis
boating or fishing, quite limited if their
lnclnatons were favorable.
Legally changing the clocks is Just fooling your
self. 1t is bunch of bunk. 1t is dentically the
same as the ostrich which sticks its head in the sand
and believes that nobody can see it.
The Government clerks of Washington doubtless
appreciate the fact that it all done FOR THEIR
ENJOYMENT. And to add to their pleasures and
enjoyment proposition is pending to increase their
hours of work ONE MORE EACH DAY that is. put
them on an eighthour schedule, which would mean
that in winter summer Eastern time daylight
saving time, they would go to work at clock, have
half hour for luncheon at the New Willard or
Washington, and at 4:30 o'clock go to their golf
or tennis clubs and play golf until they were tired.
Besides putting in the eight hours, they would often
be called upon to remain extra hours-WITHOUT
EXTRA PAY, HOWEVER, make up for time
lost by political appointees who had gotten behind
their work because they had spent two three hours
at lesurey luncheons.
We enjoying a specially arranged day
light saving that down trodden overworked mankind
may have an extra hour of play each day to build
himself up, and there looms up the possibility that
Government clerks do not work enough and should
put in another hour at their desks. There seems
to be some conflict between the play and work
doctrines

Protect Motion Pictures.

THE moving picture has helped
to reduce deaths from tuber-
culosis. At the annual meet
ing Of the National tuberculosis
Association DR.. Charles J. Hat
field, managing director of the as
sociation, reported that since 1904
the campaign against tuberculosis
has reduced the death rate from
that dreaded disease one-half, DR..
Hatfield said:
This announcement of the
splendid results of eighteen
years work is also attributed
to the power of public health,
education and the unfailing
support of newspapers, maga-
zines and MOTION PICTURES,
which are the media of reach
ing the general public.
This is another example Of the
effectiveness of motion pictures
for teaching instantaneously
through the eye what is assimi.
lated by the mind, brain or men,
ory only slowly from printed
words.
1t is the power to carry infor-
nation to the public and to in
fluence the public which the fore
fathers sought to protect. There
fore they undertook to guaran-
tee to press and speech freedom
from all abridgment and repres-
sive action.
Moving pictures are entitled to
the same respect and the same
protection, not in the interest of
moving pictures, but in the inter
est of the public.
