The change nt this time was justified by Senater Penrose en the ground that Mr. Thornten nlrcady Iieh served eight jcnr.s.

Vares'ln Anniversary State Senater Vere and Mr. Varc yesterday celebrated the twcnty-tiftli annlverser of their marriage, with a number of friends as guests nt the Whltemarsh Country Club. There was n cl.im bake, at which the Senater nnd liis wife, four daughters nndg two sons were guests, nnd Inst evening n famllv dinner party was held at the Hcllcvue Hcllcvue Autumn nrrived thin morning nt 10: J9 o'clock with n comfortable tempernttire nnd an abundant supply eL sunshine. It will remnin with us until iu:u i". -i., nppemlini- 'J1 ulimi winter arrives. The change In season Is due te the fact that the sun gets Inte n position srpinrelv ever the eqiinter. One-half of the earth from pole te pole Is divided equally Inte night and day. Old Mnn Kasiern Standard Time will return te his wonted roost In City Hall Tower at 2 o'clock Sundny morning, and n reception committee comprising the entire population of the city will welcome him with fitting ceremonies. I'astern standard time will be remem bered as the eldest son of Old Father Time, but for some time past bis jeung brother. Daylight Saving Time, bns usurped his lawful place and be has been relegated te Hread Street Station. Jeseph (Snsklll, who presides ever the machinery in the clock tower, Bays the mechanism will be stepped at 2 o'clock Sundny morning for sixty min utes, thus allowing one hour of time te slip by unrecorded. When the wheels start turning again the big clock will be operating en I'astern stnndnrd time. CleekmnkcrH ns n body recommend thnt method of losing nn hour In pref erence te thnt of turning the clock backward one hour or forward eleven hours. Clarence Hlggs, a Philadelphia authority en tinu-recerding devices, snjs nny timepiece with chimes or strik ing mechnnijiii will be seriously dam aged by turning backwnrd nnd only nn experienced person should undertake te tin u it forward. It Is far better te stnM the clock for en hour just before u tiring Saturday night by fixing the pendulum at either end of Its nrc se that it cannot swing. There is no bnrm in turning a watch backwnrd or for ward, however, unless it is equipped with a striking mechanism. The nig point te be remembered is that henceforth nil clocks must register one hour Ics thnn they have heretofore done. Three o'clock daj light saving time becomes 2 o'clock standard time, and se en The suburban schedules of the ralliends will return te their old status instead of one hour cntlj, us printed en the timctnblcs in use during the summer mouths. Hut there is one recompense for all the trouble nnd confusion of the change: Kverjbedy gets nn extra hour of sleep Saturda night. Chnugns made In train service when daylight -saing become effect lc will be abolished.

BAER "The time always comes," said William C. Freeman, "when we must be denied the physical presence of a friend; but the time never comes when we are denied the joy of thinking or speaking about him." The truth of this was forcibly brought te my mind when I glanced ever the many letters addressed te Mr. Asher, full of appreciation, thanks and gratitude for services well tendered. Each letter reflects the thoughts of thousands. That the Bread Street Chapel, 1309 North Brea-1 street, and Asher & ?en, its founders, are serving humankind most when grief deprives the stricken of their best judgment of what te de and hew te de it. It is then that "the physical presence of a friend" is most anpreciatcd, a friend such as Mr. Ashei or his associates.
