Ohio State University
Standard Time

Standard time is now almost uni
versally accepted in United States
and the younger generation of
Ohioans perhaps cannot realize it
hasn't always existed.
1t was 81 years ago-on Nov. 18,
1883-that standard time was put
in use by railroads of the United
States and Canada. Half the people
ridiculed the change and vowed
they'd continue to use Goods
time" based on the sun. Others ac-
cepted the new time Immediately.
Ohio newspapers were divided in
their opinion as to the change. One
Cincinnati paper commented as fol-
lows:
"There is great deal of 'cuss-
ing over the going into effect of the
new standard time. Nobody scarce
1y understands it. The professors
of the state university fell in with
cheerful idiocy.
"Now it is great stupidity to sup
pose that the people at large will
attempt to accommodate themselves
to the railroad convenience by uni
versally accepting an artificial time.
OF course we shall run along by the
actual time, as near as we can come
to it,
Others poked fun at the change,
as indicated by this note in a Co
Iumbus paper: panhandle train
No. arrived yesterday at 1901 p.
M, stopped here 20 minutes, and
then went east at 1852 a. M"
A large crowd assembled at Un-
ion station in Columbus to watch
the process of turning the clock
back % minutes to start into new
system. Two hundred people gath
cred around an advertising clock in
downtown Columbus to see the
change there. At IL, noon, the fire.
alarm bell was sounded in the city.
The novelty soon wore off, but
''sun-time' fingered in some homes
for years afterward. Possibly there
are still a few homes in remote
areas of the state where standard
time is not yet used.

Christy Ranks High Among


Under the title of "Who's Who in
America" Alice Robe, feature writ
er for the United Press, mentions
Christy, famous artist, born in Nor
gan county, on what is now the
Beard farm. The article follows:
Painting and illustrating cannot
be mixed,'' said Americas leading
illustrator a quarter of a century
ago, and straightway became a
leading portrait painter His name,
beloved Of more than one genera
ton, is Howard Chandler Christy.
He still is going strong after 40
years of unbroken popularity.
Howard Chandler Christy was
born in Morgan county, Ohio, Jan.
10, 1873. He came to New York
when he was IA, with the determin-
alton to be an artist At Is he was
working at the Art Students
League. Then he began studying
at the National Academy of Design,
where he won medal within a
month, and SO many competitive
honors that he Immediately was re-
garded as miracle youth
''His genius for beautiful and ex-
pressive illustration led him into
this remunerative field almost at
once. Portraiture, however, always
was at the back of his brain beating
a creative tattoo. He began work
ing under Chase, and studied hard
for two and half years, his ca
pacity for work astonishing his in
structors and editors. After his de-
cision to give up illustrating for
painting he violated his credo only
twice-that the two do not mix. The
bronze medal he won, at the Paris
exposition in 1900 and the medals
and honors at the Pan-American
exposition in Buffalo in 1921 were
only punctuation points in his sue
cess. He has painted personages
and personalities of all professions
and social Importance. Mussolini
and Crown Prince Humbert are
among the foreign famous who have
sat to him.. President Harding was
his first president to bring him uni
versal acclaim as portrait painter
Since then ne has painted presidents
and presidents wives with unbrols-
en- success. His portrait of Mrs
Coolidge was painted on order of
her university sorority, Pi Beta Phi
His two and half years under
Chase developed his instructive
feeling for style and color, the
sauvity of brush, the elegance
which distinguishes him.
His early portrait of Mrs. Will
liam Randolph Hearst marks his
flair for the grand manner and for
NAL graciousness. Thomas Patten
breathes quizzical good humor
blended with political keen-minded-
ness. In all his work, especially
his portraits of Mrs. Christy and
those of children, is revealed the
artists strong sympathy for the
subject, a tenderness and sensibil-
ity and understanding. His por-
trait of Amelia Earhart is one Of
his best

designate the first home of what is
now the Malta plow factory. This
original spot is on the lot now own
ed by Howard Lindimore, and was
the former home of the late VIM,

was here that the first double-shovel

STRAIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
(By Stephen M. Young)

The house passed the administra-
tion omnibus banking bill. The
senate will probably pass this with
few changes. A meritorious fea-
ture is that guarantee of bank de-
posits for each individual up to $5,-
900 becomes the law of the land
not for the emergency only, but for
all time When "Sockless" Simp-
son, "Whiskerando" Pfeffer and
William Jennings Bryan advocated
guarantee of bank deposits in 1892,
they were regarded as "looney."
This was termed "crazy populist
scheme and they were laughed at
as fools. They were not fools. 'Ex-
perience keeps a dear school, but
fools learn in no other
Senator Josiah Bailey, Democrat,
of North Carolina, locked horns
with Senator Huey Long, recently.
He held aloft Senator Longs auto
biography and said scornfully-
"This is the first volume of three.
The first volume is entitled Every
Man King The second volume
will be known as Every Man
Kingfsh' The third will be known
as Every Man a Sucker."'
This may seem peculiar, but the
facts are that much of the legisla-
tion being considered in congress
usually termed radical is spon-
sored by Republicans. Congressman
Mott, Republican, of Oregon, intro
duced the amended Townsend
Plan providing pensions to the
aged. Congressman Mcleod, Re-
publican, of Michigan, is the author
of the Mcleod 100%o bank payoff
bill. This, if enacted, would pro-
vide two billion dollars to deposi-
tors in defunct banks. This is term
ed ''infiationary." To cite one
more instance-the Frazier-Lemke
| farm refinancing bill which is re-
| garded by many persons as being
'infationary, is sponsored by Sem
ator Frazier, Republican, and
Congressman Lemke, farm-labor-
ite, formerly a Republican. Also,
peculiarly enough, President Roose-
velt is said to be opposed to all of
the foregoing bills, regarding them
as unsound and radical" 1t is fire.
quently difficult to distinguish be-
tween radicalism and conservatism.
1t is a mistake to term all Demo-
Gratis radicals and all Republicans
conservatives.
There are thousands Of lobbyists
in Washington seeking to influence
legislation. To these lobbyists rep
| resenting private business interests,
| for the most part seeking special
privileges, is being added a new
| type of lobbyist. Both Massachu-
setts and Arizona have provided by
law for the appointment of a state
lobbyist to represent the state in
Washington seeking PWA funds
and other federal grants Of power
| and money. Mayor LaGuardia of
New York City is the latest to ap-
point a public lobbyist.
Lobbyists, representing private
| interests, should be compelled to
| register, and their names and busi-
| ness connections should be made
| public. In fact, it would not be a
bad idea to compel them to wear a
badge of distinctive symbol when
| engaged in "button-holing' repre-
sentatives. Frequently a skull and

A new proposed method of COM
batting bootlegging in Ohio is being
considered by the state liquor
board, it was announced by Chair
man wellington t. Leonard. The
plan will permit key liquor stores
in certain cities to open at a. NJ.
and to close at IL. midnight Until
now the stores were open from 10
a. m. to 10 p. m. The cities in
which the new plan may be put in
operation are Cleveland, Toledo,
Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Ak
ron and Youngstown, where the
greatest amount of bootlegging is
said to take place. The board last
week issued an order that all liquor
agencies must close at midnight.
Previously they were permitted to
sell liquor as late as the individual
proprietor cared to keep his place
of business open.
Approximately 100000 employ
ables on Ohio relief rolls will be
put to work under the federal gov
ernment's 4,000,000,000 works
program, it was estimated by G. c..

tor for Ohio. There are 1925 re-
lief work projects, involving an ex-
penditure of $80,000,000, awaiting
final approval at Washington, Mr..

Ohioans on relief, 341, 900 are en-

$4,000 are working for the FERA

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

The state tax commission warned
last week that it will revoke the Ii
censes of vendors under the sales
tax regulations unless they file the
required initial sales tax informa-
ton by June /. The commission
stated that only a small percent of
the 235,000 licensed vendors have
filed the necessary data to date. No
extension of time will be given un-
less a vendor makes a written re-
quest to the commission for delay
and shows a good reason why an ex-
tension should be granted, it was
said. Sales tax collections in the
first four months operation of the
sales tax law have netted the state
$14,455,0 1000, State Treasurer Harry
S. Day reported.
The sixth annual advanced train
ing course for officials of Ohio fire
departments will be staged at Ohio

Ohio's 92nd general assembly,
which will be elected next year, ac-
cording to George M. Neffner, stat

of State George S. Myers. The in
crease will bring the total member
ship of the senate to 36, and that
