Spokane Is Divided
Over Change i'm Time

From the Spokane Spokesman-Reviev.
Advocates Of a change to mountain
time concede that, while Spokane on
present Pacific time is only 10 minutes
on sun time, a change to mountain
time would throw 1t so minutes OF sun
time.
But they counter against that with
the argument that by changing to
mountain time, the daylight period
would be evenly divided by the MONDAY
break of one hour.
The explanation is made that the
customary noon hour, from IL to I, as
measured on solar time, Is entirely taken
out Of the latter half Of the daylight
period; that it would have been q truer
division II communities on solar time
had taken the midday hour from 1880
to 1880.
But against that the fact Is 10 be
considered that long before the country
was divided into four zones Of standard
time, when communities everywhere
were on true solar time, the rule was
universal to take the MONDAY hour
from IL to /.
Apparently the public settled down
TO that division Of the work day because
4 was more nearly adapted to the
various conditions Of American life.
The hour from II to !, on true sun
time, seems to be better suited, on the
whole, to life in the open and to life
IN factory, shop. market and ONCE.

Re-Enter the Fiacre.

Readers of French fiction are familiar
with the fiacre, or hackney coach. Be-
fore the advent of the automobile the
fiacre was the ultimate In public per-
sonal vehicles in Paris.
The hero hailed fiacre when he took
the heroine to the opera. The villain
hoped into one as he set out on his
nefarious work. No French writer Of
fiction, whether of the short story or Of
the novel, could get along without this
convenient vehicle.
Since the taxicab usurped the scene
there has been, to many readers, a de-
cline In French fiction. Certainly there
is nothing particularly romantic about
taxis. The heroic role which they
played in conveying French soldiers to
the front during the march on Paris
helped give them charm to the world
wide general reader, but it was not suf-
ficient to make them true literary
vehicle.
Now comes news from Paris Of a
strike of taxi drivers, with the subse-
quent temperance on the streets of
the French capital of Anticipated horse
cabs, with great success. It is an Ill
wind, indeed, which blows no one good
Here, at one and the same time, the
horse comes into its own again, and. If
portents are not mistaken, French fic-
ton Immediately will take on new life.
De Maupassant made one of his most
engaging heroes throw himself beneath
the wheels of cab, which was as good
way as any, perhaps. of helping Q
novelist solve an unsolvable situation.
He could not have done it with taxi
cab. The strike Of the Partisan taxi
drivers may lead to great things again.

Improved Roads Take
Mudsock Out of Mud

From the Columbus Ohio state Journal.
Mudsock has lost its reputation as the
muddiest place on any highway in
Franklin County and will need to have
a new name given 1t. For years it has
been Mudsock by name and mudsock in
fact. The cross-road section was a
place to be avoided by drivers when
there had been rain. The ground In
the highway was soft. IT was a mixture
Of clay of that clinging kind that would
I'LL a wagon wheel and stop the team;
that would let an auto down in the
mud to the hub and leave 1t there until
team was hired to pull 1t out. Drivers
had many grievous experiences In trying
to haul light loads over the roads IN
the Mudsock neighborhood.
Now it has been changed. The cross
road section has been improved. There
is still some finishing work to be done,
but the hard-surface paving is in place
for use and the people who use the
roads are enjoying freedom from mud
that Is new and welcome. The fields in
the Mudsock neighborhood are fertile.
There are good farmers in charge. Fine
crops are grown, meadows yield album
dainty, the dairy herds are valuable
and bring large sums OF money to the
farmers each month. With good roads
these people have been taken out OF the
mud. There Is no other place in the
county where the advantages OF good
roads are more clearly in evidence. no
place where highways were more sadly
needed. There should be home
coming celebration arranged to give
fitting observance to tlls important fact
that Mudsock has been taken out Of
the mud.

Wisconsin Avenue.

At meeting of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation the other
night attention was given to the mat
ter of the improvement of Wisconsin
avenue from the District boundary to
the Old Georgetown road junction In
Bethesda. The matter was referred to
a committee for consideration and re-
port. and it is probable that at the
next meeting steps will be taken to
bring the situation to the point of cor
rection. Wisconsin avenue has for q
good many years been In deplorable
condition. Originally one of-the main
arteries Of approach to Washington
from the North, 1t suffered from sue
cessive changes that instead Of i'm
proving caused deterioration Of sur
face and Of alignment. Street railway
tracks were laid, now on the side, again
In the center. To traverse the road for
O dozen miles from its Georgetown
terminal outward meant constant twist
ing and shifting with narrowings OF
roadway causing dangerous congestion
in places impossible barriers in the
center Of the highway In the form Of
unpaved and off-grade tracks.

Echoes Of the 1928 presidential cam
paign were heard here this week In con-
nection with the candidacy Of Oliver D.
Street, Republican national committee
man from Alabama, for the vacant Fed
eral judgeship in the middle district OF
that State formerly held by the late
Henry d. clayton, author Of the anti
trust act which bears his name. In
the height of the 1928 battle Mr.. Street
was charged with the circulation Of
anti-Smith propaganda which directly
brought in the religious issue, for which
indiscretion he drew a well hammered
letter of protest from Republican Ma
tional Chairman Work. This incident
Is now being re-exploited as a possible
bar to his availability for the judgeship
and according to reports has put Mr..
Hoover In a quandary.

Pass the Dale Bill.

Hope is entertained that the Dale
bill, which has passed the Senate four
times and the House once, and which
was pocket-vetoed by President Cool
idge on the 4th Of March last, will be
passed by the House at this session,
and, the Senate having already acted,
will thus 60 to the President for his
approval. This measure liberalizes the
Federal retirement act, particularly in
increasing the maximum Of annuities
from $1,000 to $1,000 and the average
from $74l to $3.50. Certain changes
are proposed in the retirement ages.
While this measure is not entirely
satisfactory to the Government en-
ployes, who are paying monthly from
their salaries into a retirement fund,
which now amounts to $145,000, 900, 1t
is probably the utmost that can be OBJ
tanned at this time in the way Of a
more liberal scale of annuities. Those
who are pressing for this legislation on
behalf Of present and prospective an
nuitants feel that it is far better to &C
cept the possible than to seek for the
ideal legislation for which there Is
little chance of enactment now.
The present annuity scale Is cruelty
low. 1t was established experimentally
when there was no assurance Of the
way in which the sustaining fund would
develop. It Is now evident that &C
tuarial errors or miscalculations were
made at the outset in respect to thi;
fund, which has increased beyond ex-
pectations and Is now adequate to care
for even more than the proposed in
creases In annuities. But again con-
servatism prevails and the proposal /,
for only a part Of the differential be-
tween the existing and the equitable
scales.
No one will ever know all the suffer
ings that have been endured by tn
annuitants who have been forced on
Of active service under the operation
Of the retirement law, compelled +
drop from bare living compensation
! to pittances. Unquestionably lives hav
been shortened through sheer lack o
nutrition, through the need Of prope
shelter and clothing in the straitene'
circumstances into which the Unite
States forced its faithful workers afte
many years of service. Shameful

what was formerly q road Of torture
and danger q broad, smooth, safe
highway. But at the District line the
condition changes abruptly and for
the remainder Of the distance to
Bethesda the road remains a puzzle
and a peril. Now the Montgomery
County people are asking for a con-
tinuation of the improvement, instituted
by the District. The corrections are
easily made, as was shown below the
District line. When these are con-
tinued and the road is made smooth
and clear and safe throughout it will
be a credit to Maryland. 1t is today
