KILLS SELF ON
CEMETERY LOT
Ralph Farwell, Chicago, Puts Bull
let Through Heart; Leaves
Brief Note TO Wife.

Chicago, April 29.-Ralph Far
we'll, 50, part owner of the Oak
woods cemetery and former secre-
tary of the cemetery organization,
yesterday went to his private lot
IN the cemetery and shot himself
through the head. Poor health is
ascribed as the cause.
The death was discovered by
cemetery employees, whose atten-
ton was attracted by the sound of
the shot. They found the body and
summoned a physician, who pro-
nounced death as having been in
stantaneous. Farwell was identi-
fed by papers in his pocket and a
suicide note, addressed to his wife
which merely said: Il have com
mitted suicide"

HARDING IS
OPPOSED To
sun SAVING
Thinks Same Result At
tainable by Use of
Alarm Clock.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus

tOOpyTlSHL, 1SA2, Dy Inc ATSuS.J
Washington, d. c., April 20
Daylight saving will never be ma
tional during the administration of
President Harding.
Although conceding the advan-
tages of getting up early in the
morning, Mr.. Harding has taken
the position that moving the hands
OF the clock forward is merely a
deception during the summer sea-
son and that the same ends can be
accomplished by the use of an
alarm clock.
The chief executive has not been
confronted with the necessity of
signing or vetoing a bill on the
subject for the good reason that
congress has not been able to agree
on the matter and the agricultural
interests are strong enough to pre-
vent the passage of any such pro-
posal as was adopted under the
Wilson administration as a war
measure But Mr.. Harding has had
the matter up because various local
organizations have suggested that
it would be fine thing TO have the
government departments in the ma
tional capital put on a daylight saw
ing basis.
This prompted the observation
, from Mr. Harding that he would
not sign any executive order for
the opening of the government de-
partments on a daylight saving
plan. If any of the department
heads wanted to open his depart
ment an hour sooner, Mr.. Harding
sees no objection That's entirely
up TO the cabinet officer. The pres
ident holds the view that if the peo-
pie of city want to save an hour
they can get together and agree TO
get up an hour earlier and to have
the banks open an hour earlier and
TO have their meals an hour ahead
of time and have the theatres open
at 1880 in the evening instead of
$50, and so on.
Change Habits, Not Clock.
Those who favor daylight saw
ing-and there's considerable
number for it in congress-answer
the president by saying there is no
chance of getting agreement on
anything except by law and that
all human conduct can only be reg
ulated by law. 1t is admitted that
there is conflict of interest especi-
ally as between rural and city COM
munities, but the scheme of settling
the thing by local option has failed
/ Not only have certain states failed
to pass laws providing for state
wide daylight saving because of the
I vigorous opposition of rural dis
tricts. but when the question has
| been left to local decision cOnfus-
| ion has resulted. In President Hard
ing's own state, in fact in his own
community, such disparity in time
existed just before he came to
Washington. The town of Marion
retained its normal central time
while Columbus, Ohio. 35 miles
away, was an hour ahead The
president, however, does not dis
pute the advantages of an early
start, but he insists that everybody
ought to change his or her habits
with the earlier sunrise instead OF
with the hands of the clock.
