VIEWPOINT tetters to the Editor on Cur rent Topics i Favor Daylight Saving JV the KdHor ol the Evtnino Public I.edaer: Sir I have read n great many front page notices and a &ood many editorials from newspaper all over tho eastern actlon of the country, but the ono your man wrote for the Evbnino Toduo I,DOEn, evening of March 25, Is by fnr and oway ahead of anytiilna I have had the pleasuro of reading. You are on the right tracl(, and If the papers alt over tHe eastern section take the e'anie stand ts you have and keep hammering it will not be long until we knock some good, hard, common senso Into tho heads of Congress. Had the city members been In tliclr seats when the members from tit country sprung the repeal In Con trrM It never would hae paiscd. Tou probably know that Mayor Mooro )a for daylight saving nnd that only one member of Council, Mr, Uuckholz, is iilnt It. Practically, all the refit would be willing to do anything, from President WfKlDln down, In order to give us day llcht Ba!ng, but they are helpless ow ing to tho action of our law In the Btate of Pennsylvania. Mr. Emll P. Albrccht. bf tho Bourse, president, and Ernest T. Trigg, president of the chamber of commerce, would be powerful factors, with their organiza tions back of them, In getting daylight avlng through Congress If wo fall to ret CongresB to act, nnd If New Jersey later acts on tho matter In conjunction with New York, Massachusetts and Con necticut, when our next Legislature ..-.. Vn thnuirh It s far off. we can "1C . '.. .. mmhf fn nnM n ?, licht-savtng law for Pcnnsyhanla. nwenient and a most popular ono In this daylight snvlng. Tor example, Mr. William M. Lewis, former councilman from the Thirty-second ward, 1914 North A-hiriv.spcond street, can give you tin- I iimiird data that was presented tolihn ind Ills committee,. which, you will re fill resulted In a practically unanimous nti In favor of daylight saving, only four In ons chamber and thrco members irt the other chamber, or seven, all told, In the whole, big Councils as then con stituted voting against the measure, and they giving a very lamo oxcuse. Mr. Buckhdlzer stated the other day the worklngman did not want to get up win ter and summer In the dark. His state ment made him look both ridiculous and When Councilman Lewis held his com mittee meeting the big crowd prefient presented many arguments. There was organization after organization which stated facts of the popularity of the movement. Letters wero read from rtoy Thomas, of Stetson's Athletic Associa tion ; Ray Bates, manager of J. & 3. Dob ton Athletic Association; Dave Bcnnts, of the Clermantown Athletic Association : Strawberry Mansion Quoit Club; Straw berry Mansion rtoquo Club ; The Fair mount Tennis Association ; from the chamber of commerce: the Boy Scouts of rhlladelnhla; a representative from the Young Women's League, all u ho pre fnted the strongest arguments In favor of day light saving, as well as represent- V& "V" H",KJf fed y w JSImSSi J1-"6"18' however, TA?miM.kftn1i UfJ? nnd others, who stated that In their twilight baseball games played three times a week as high an 8000 people attended each game, jMjwjiiiK iiui uiuy mis game dui getting the benefit of the fresh air at tho same time. Tho Dentists' Association also pre sented arguments that In the heat of the summer months thqy could work so much better' up until 9:00 p. m. without turn Ing on the gas or electric, and It was much more comfortable for the patient. The.worklng man and woman who Is penned up In tho office or factory all day aro the main people who are calling out for tho extra hour of daylight. No mat ter where you go or how big tho crowd are you find nine out of every ten for daylight saving. Keep your car to tho ground and you will note that a prominent railroad Is more than likely to push clocks ahead one hour .for all trains running in tho state of New Jersey. This will practi cally force tho Senate of New Jersey to taka action with the House nnd governor over these or have the people In New Jer Hcy up In arms ngalnst them. Tho peoplo have not paid much attention to persons who were heretofore elected to the House nnd Benato of the different states, but they will likely cive the matter more lattontlon In tho future. The same thing win apply to the memuers elected to Congress in Washington. The millions of peoplo In the cities unanimously want daylight Bavlng, nnd they are not going to stop now until they get It. The tre mendous big vote In both New York and Massachusetts Legislatures: that Is, the overwhelming mnjorlty In the Houses of both states shows which way the wind Is blowing. The action of nil bis cities in following be iitock exchange In New York city shows which way it Is finally going to drift. You hnve struck tho popular chord of whnt the peoplo want at the psychological moment. I have no desire for publicity or promi nence, but I am such a strong ndvocate of davllght saving or tho extra hour of daylight, and I was so very much pleased at your article In last evening's pnper thnt I desired to try and give you a little Information of what 1 know had ucen done. Go to It, artd keep It up. The last twenty-four hours you havo received plenty of backing and encouragement, nnd if you will keep. your ear to the ground, although t am' not In a pojlt'on i taii inn inn iii nnrl lots nf en couragement from a sister state within tho next week, and a great deal of en couragement rrom n certain thing that Is going to be done within the next sev- cntv-two nours. - " u.

These belong in the finest classification of worsteds. They are tailored in single and double breasted styles, either 6f which are good for any kind of wear, except formal. There are browns, greens, oxfords, blues, grays, quiet checks and beautiful striped patterns. There are not many of each different lot but there are many lots which means that the men who buy them vir-. tually will own exclusive patterns.

One former member of the faculty was called three different times before he consented to exchange Bryn Mawr for Harvard. Such facts a there) prove that the members of tho faculty desire to remain at Bryn Mawr, but that the salary paid Is so Inadequate that they find It ImposilbU to do to. There are several colleges to which Philadelphia women naturally turn for a college education. The University of Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr Collego probably supply the greatest number of Philadelphia high whool teacher. Therefore the quality of the Bryn Mawr faculty concerns thu citizens of Phila delphia more directly than they perhaps rent 1x6 At til present time there aro thirty seven Bryn Mawr alumnae i teaching in the Philadelphia high schools. Two alumnae are head of. departments, a former graduate student Is also head of a department. Nine per cent of all women teachers In. the Philadelphia t.t.ti wikMid t.fA Tirvn Hfuwr nlumnae.
