Dr. Kiln in C. Ilroome. Superintend

for daylight snving.
An overwhelming majority of repre

themselves in favor of do? light snving.
Alt ordinance to secure this desired re

Council nt its seslon tomorrow.
Prominent business men. bankers.
manufacturers, railroad men nnd educa

tn favor of the move.
, "Daylight saving not onlv means a

"Why should we not have an hour

many buyers come from the West to

"Another thing, if the cltie.s gen

It will start a wave of sentiment which

to start it locally."
Tlly Strong for Plan
Herbert J. Ttly. general manager of
Straw-bridge &' Clothier, also unre
aerredlv fnvors daylight saving. "It is
something that we all want and should
have," he said. It means better busi
ness and better health and more general
recreation. Here in the Kast there is
little opposition to it. except from tho
farmer, and even he would be satisfied
with it after n short time Knglnnd

Kdwin Lewis, general passenger agent
of the Philadelphia and Heading Knll
way, said the railroads would co-operate
with the city in making daylight
saving effective. "It will mean chang
ing suburban and seashore trains." he
said. "May !?., however, Is hardly the
belt date that could be named for its
inaugural, and I think that may be
altered. That time Is n holiday, and
mnny trnvelers nt that time are not ac
customed to adapting themselves to sud

will have nn cITcct on printing of time
tables. "The people are for daylight saving,
and we want to nccommoilnte the pub

nnd seashore schedules to suit."
Officials of the Pennslvnnln Hnll
road expressed themselves as espccialh
favoring national diolight saving "Of
course, local daylight -living iniyius a
great deal of trouble to us." said one
official. "We shall have to advance our
schedule for suburban nnd seashore
travel, while maintaining standard time
or through trains.''

THESE ancient landmarks
set up along the Gulf and
Haverford roads, directed
early travelers in the environs
of the City of Brotherly Love.
The arms of William. Penn sur
mounted them, and the story
ran that the "Apple Dumplings"
so called, were there becausa
King Tamany had provided that
refreshment at the Treaty Tree. The citizens of that gen
ration had only such rude signs to guide their feet aright.
Their successors of today are more fortunate.
