How win Staggered Hours Affect Rs1

Beginning October /, there will be
change in working hours for employees
of retail stores, insurance companies, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,, and
the City of Boston. Some groups will go
to work in the morning (and leave work
in the afternoon) from minutes to one
hour earlier than at present; other groups
will go to work land leave work. Is min
utes or 80 minutes later than at present,
Those affected will gain at one end Of
the day what they lose at the other. The
hours of other workers are not changed.

Will the Present Plan be Extended

Very likely The present plan, affecting
relatively few workers, will provide i'm
proved transportation not0 and in the
near future. An extension of the present
staggering plan would take care of
further increased riding.

What About the "H" IfssIF1
The 'Er' adopted a staggered plan
for its Office employees last May. The

What Can I Do TO HsIpf

Everyone using the 'El" for other
purposes than going to and from work
should avoid the rush hours. Staggering
is designed to provide better rush hour
transportation for workers. 1t is essential
to the success of the plan that the periods
from 8 am. to 10 am. and from pm.
to 6sp.m. be reserved as much as possible
for persons who nsast travel at these
times.

The plan of staggered hours will pro-

Pierce at Cornell

Cornell University of Ithica,
NY. will probably have the best
Colored Eastern collegiate half
back of the year in sensational
Sunny Pierce who should see
some action against Lafayette
this afternoon. Cornell of N. Y,
gave us AllAmerican Brud Hol-
land and this year will have a
potentially powerful e e e n
spanked by 200 ID Joe Martin,
Kan Stofer, Sammy Pierce, and
another Colored halfback, Char
lie Robinson. So watch the Big
Red.
Brown University of Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, may upset
a lot of football dope this year.
You can not count the Bears in
the running. Charlie Bentley is
Colored halfback, who, along
with a rare collection of white
star ball carriers, will definitely
make the Brown Bear a threat
in every game. It's the Brown
line that is the question mark
just as it was last year. AS you
recall, the Brown backs couldn't
break loose.
So, barring unpredictable
changes, the 1912 football out
look, in spite of war restrictions,
looms as colorful and as thrill
ing as ever, perhaps more so.

To meet such situations, Joseph B.

has asked large communities to adopt
staggered hours as a wartime measure.
A plan for staggering the hours of

What toDo
BY PHYLLIS BELMONT

Do you feel like doing over" your
closet? Now is the time to get ready
for spring and summer.
The first step is to take stock of
your space. If the closet is shall
low, put in several cross bars,
spaced correctly TO hold your
clothes If it is deeper you may
have a long rod through the center
that will accommodate all your
things.
If you don't have full-length mir
ror on the inside of your closet
door, then that's a good place for
your shoe rack. However, if there
is plenty of floor space, a metal
stand thaA~NWill accommodate many
pairs of shoes is more convenient.
Buy brightly colored chintz or gay
cellophane clothes bags for your best
dresses-and special bag for your
fur coat. Give your hats separate
transparent boxes, or little hat
stands. Keep everything where it
belongs, and you need never be
ashamed to open the closet door to
prying eyes Of guests.

Voodoo Cults in Haiti
Are Found to Be Waning

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Haiti
an voodoo cult, famed for its ''black
magic" religious ceremonies, is
nearing its last days, according to
Dr. Alfredo Metraus, Smithsonian
Institution archeologist, who has
just returned with one Of the finest
collections of voodoo ceremonial
paraphernalia
The decline of VoodOoiSm is aSS0-
ciated with an intensive drive by
missionaries, who discovered that
some of the most ardent members
of the cult were prominent in vari-
Gus Christian churches. They recog-
nized no essential discrepancy be-
tween the two loyalties.
AS a result of the missionary en-
deavorS a great number of voodoo
objects-vases drums, pipes, wood
en- bowls. satchels of earth, stone
axes, rattles and images of saints
have been discarded. Sacred fig
trees are being felled and large
posts representing African gods are
being destroyed.
The voodoo cultists also are tax
ing oathS to forswear any associa
tiOn with the African deities of their
forefathers. and only in the remote
jungles of the West Indian republic
is voodOOism still practiced as be-

ARMADA
MONARCH
FRANK COLBY

Today's column is a double fea-
ture with two Surprise Words OF the
Week.
ARMADA, meaning a fleet OF
armed ships (from the Latin armare,
to arm), is a word that is frequently
heard in the newscasts these days.
But the pronunciation in best usage
is not as the word is usually given:
"a ar-MAH-duh.
The first choice of nine dictiona-
ries consulted, and the only choice
Of FIVE of the nine, is:
ar-MAY duh
MONARCH is seldom pronounced
correctly We hear the word most
often as "MON-ahrk. :" But, accord
ing to the dictionaries, the second
syllable should not rhyme with bark,
but with jerk and perk, as:
MON-erk
