Daylight Saving Elsewhere.

T. the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Since the question of daylight
saving has aroused so much need
less commotion, would like to
quote an editorial appearing in a
recent issue Of the Baltimore Sun.
which the "kickers" against day
light saving might find it profita pl e
to read and carefully consider:
Daylight saving has aroused
feelings OF such warmth in the
bosoms of certain citizens that one
cannot help plying the people Of
the earth who. in summer time. just
naturally have to submit to extra
hours of daylight whether they want
TO or not. In Canada. for instance.
daylight not infrequently lasts until
. p. M. and those who prefer dark
ness cannot remedy the evil, be-
cause ii is due not to manmade
laws but to the habits of the tardy
sun in those northern ATTITUDES. But
the citizens Of Winnipeg or Medi-
cine Hat do not utter complaints.
/ They merely go out after supper
and watch baseball game. weed
their gardens OBJ otherwise utilize
the daylight hours The Scotch.
Danes and Norwesians have not
tried to persuade the sun to 60 ia
bed earlier during the Sur~1er. They
somehow manaC" to zee their
children sleep long enoash. ever
though the summer nights last only
few hours. ard il is generally
believed that lack OF sleep has not
undermined their health. In fact
they seem to like the long days
of summer: and the opponents Of
daylight saving in Baltimore may
perhaps be converted, in time. 10
the same opinion
II those who object to the slight
est deviation from their regular way
uf living would consider fora mo-
ment the benefits to be derived by
daylight saving. they might he able
to see the matter other than from
a strictly selfish viewpoint. How
is il that those living in the large
cities are so happy to have the
change during the summer months
It must be because those living in
this small city are not broad mind
ed enough to know good thinr
wher they see it. that there Is
such a howl over this matter. Stou
knocking. If nothing can be said
in its favor from your viewpoint,
then keep still. A. F.. p.

n EOPLE of Western Europe, for the first time
i in a century. experiencing almost unen-
durable heat
London and Paris, during the past few days,
have been more uncomfortable than Pennsylvania
avenue in July. The very infrequency with
which such heat calls attention to the
ideal climate of this region for human habitation.
In England, France, Belgium and Germany an
even temperature is enjoyed the year around This
fact goes long way to explain the development
OF civilization which has been reached in those
countries. 1t is seldom unusually hot unusually
cold.
American soldiers who had left the United
States on torrid midsummer days 'often were
astonished to find that they needed overcoats when
the troop ships locked Liverpool, Brest Cher
bourg. Nights during July in France often were
too cool to permit comfortable sleeping under one
blanket.
A wave of unusual heat catches Europe UMPIRE
pared. None of the great cities have the same
facilities for dealing with unusual weather condi-
tions that are necessary in the United States Con-
sequenty such condition exists is bound
to cause good deal OF suffering. American tour
lists will regret that they left the United States
with its electric fans and convenient bathing
beaches by which summers made endurable.
The American summer always has been a
bugaboo to Europeans. The bad reputation it has
attained has done much to cut down the number
of tourists from the other side of the Atlantic.
Only two years ago Premier Lloyd George, for
example refused to consider a summer conference
in Misunderstanding his reason the dscom-
forts OF hot weather which would afflict the dele
gates The tables now are turned in favor OF
Americans No more ideal weather could be
imagined than that which residents OF the United
States have experienced for the past week Not
day has been uncomfortably hot or uncomfort-
ably cool
This hot wave in Europe at the end
of cold, rainy spring. The city residents had not
had an opportunity to shake the moth balls from
their summer underwear. If it continues for any
length of time it probably will cause almost
general exodus from the towns into the country
English and French cities like furnaces "a
hot day and human life hardly be endured in
their confines.

thus:
"A small gas mask that fits into the coat

Filibustering.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
II seems very strange that de-
Lucrative body composed OF the
shrewdest and wisest men Of the
greatest nation on earth should pre-
sent the srectaCle witnessed in the
House Of Representatives last Mon
day. OF course IL is necessary TO
have numerous rules to prevent
fraudulent or unwise legislation by
a minority. but in the name Of COM
mon sense. is Congress powerless to
protect itself from filibustering?
why not a sentlemen's agreement?
surely they are all gentlemen.
The vote on the rent act was ex-
actly to l. How could any one
who believes in majority rule waste
valuable time in an effort TO pre-
vent Congress from functioning?
Is the filibusterer so impressed with
his own wisdom that ne wishes TO
force his decision upon Congress in
direct opposition to the will of the
majorit.? While the efficiency
campaign is on IL is respectfully
suggested that the experts give
Congress the once over.

Alien Bill Attacked.

A strong protest against it has
been uttered by the executive. COM

Immigrant Education. The council
Is made up of men and women
prominent in that line. OF work
with the Massachusetts State Su-
pervisor of Americanization at its
head. They point out that the bill
would take away the control of i'm
migrant education from the State
and local EDUCATIONAL authoritis,
and give despotic power over it to
an official of the Federal Depart
ment of Labr.
The bill requires every allen to
register every year. paying IS every
time, with 50 additional for each
child. and fines him $25 il he fails
to do so. The money thus raised
is to be matched with an equal sum
by the local school authorities and
used to train aliens in American
citizenship, under the direction of
this Federal official.

1T is the small minority laying
down laws for the great ma jority,

THE principals of censorship are
a menace to the development Of one
of the greatest of all arts. Many
producers hesitate in interpreting
for millions of people the great
works of pen and stage through
fear of censorship.
Another point involved in the
arguments of censors Is that such

subject for children. Must the mo-
tion picture as an art never ad-
vance beyond the intellect of a
child? Must /. as a producer, not
