Two Watches in One
Adds to Complication
Time SinpHfer So Distracts
Inventor He Discards Priced
Dial Combination.

Y. Dalite Saving, being possessed of
no mean artistic ability, evolved a
novel method of keeping track of both
the new time and the old time without
changing his watch. He removed the
crystal and carefully painted on the
inner side, in circle slightly smaller
than the dial cures, red numbers from
one to twelve
The day before the new time went
into effect he proudly exhibited his two
way watch to his friends.
Beats setting your watch back or
carrying two watches" he told them
with a superior air. Tomorrow I'll
just read the red figures for city time
and the black ones for train time
The idea made hit and requests for
similar changes were numerous. One,
however, more observant than the rest,
pointed out that Y. Dalite had replaced
MS crystal in such way that the red
figure u correspondent to the black fig
ure l.
The new time will be an hour later
than standard tine,'' he objected. 1.-THE
red Y should be opposite the black H.
The usual heated argument followed,
with the final result that Y. Dalite re-
moved the crystal of his watch and
revoIved it thirty degrees counter clock
wise.
A few days later it was noticed that
the red figures were missing. When
questioned Y. Dalite scowled. you
Birds got me so balled up the other
day I couldn't remember which figures
read city time and which train time

TWO CONTINENTS UPSET BY SUMMER TIME
While States Make daylight Saving" a Crime.
France Disrupts Europes System.

Hampshire law, passed by the lower
house, proposes to punish daylight
savers with a fine of $780,
But even that is better than being
burned at the stake, which the same
"odium theologicun" would have i'm
posed as a penalty a thousand years
ago. The language used by some of the
rural enemies of summer time leads one
to suspect that few of them might
almost be willing to pile faggots at the
stake Of a very obstinate daylight saver.
If they had a religious feeling about
the time, one could understand their
severity But they haven't. 1t wouldn't
be easy to work up a religious senti-
ment for standard time. One might pre-
tend to a little piety over sun time
and might even arouse oneself to punish
its decorators as inpious heretics. But
standard time is an artificial thing that
doesn't seem TO lend itself to worship or
even to good, walloping taboo.
No, it's the inconvenience of daylight
saving in farm life that makes the
bitterness in the rural breast. And
doubtless the resentment over that in
convenience is heightened by the an
cient and honorable crouch that rustics
have borne toward city folks since the
days of the Pharaohs and earlier.
Exactly the same conflict over sum

These You Had Loved

These you had loved: The little things
The lovely things. the lonely things
They are in your rememberings.
Green trees and tiny peeps of blue,
Great vistas that were ever new,
They haunt the homesick heart of you
Calm leaf strewn trails and messy sod,
Dear paths beloved of>dream and God,
Your laughter-loving small feet trod.
And then the cabins chimney spire,
And then the hearth, the open fire,
The cracking logs, and Hearts
Desire.
The cruel city's gray and drear-
But it allured. Proud. You are here.
Your eyes are dry; there is no tear.
And yet. and yet. when silent stars
Climb through your window ribbed
like bars,
Your heart lies naked with its scars.

NO ATTEMPT MADE
TO DISTRIBUTE ALIENS

industry was paralyZed under the stress
of war conditions, and, even at that,
merely stated that no more immigrants
should be admitted than the country
could readily assimilate, Certainly, the
nations power of assimilation is not
tested when the country needs labor, +"
commented the Chicago business man.
An undercurrent of admission that II
is impossible to distribute immigration
has long prevailed at the various ports
of entry Commissioners and inspectors
alike will argue by the hour to prove
that at can't be done; that aliens
come to these shores with their minds
already made up as to where they are
going and that all the combined powers
of heaven and earth can never change
their destinations.
Congress thought differently when it
enacted Section 80. Briefly, this is what
was contemplated in Section 30:
THE maintenance of division of in
formation by the Bureau of In1migra-
ton at washington which would be
authorized to keep in touch with the
proper officials of the various States of
the Union to the end that the industrial
opportunities in each State might be

agents who will be welcomed at all
ports Of entry and permitted to have
access to aliens who have been adj
mitted to the United States for the pur-
pose of presenting the special induce
ments offered by said State for the
immigrant to settle therein
For some reason or other few of the
States have ever awaited themselves of
this opportunity New York tried it for
awhile, so did Pennsylvania, and New
Jerseys Labor Department was the last
to send man to Ellis Island. The rep
resentatives of these States renamed
only for a short time at the lmmigra
ton station. Whether they were in the
way of the local authorities and con-
sidered "bothersome buffers in" or not
has never been revealed when they
pulled up stakes and left the island
whose atmosphere has always been
mere of forbidance than hospitality.
