SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG iKfeAl TELEGRAPH MARCH 16, 1918.
out the city this afternoon declared
that the changing of hours would
be accomplished without interrupt
ing or hurting trade. It was said
that tho change would mean little
or nothing to the larger mills ahd
munitions plants, where three shifts
of men now ure engaged in working !
throughout the twenty-four hours, j
No difficulty will be experienced in
trolley car schedules, it was said at
the offices of the Harrisburg and
'cross-river traction companies and
the turning of the watch will do
the trick. ' i
Theaters, railroads and every bus-
iness house in the city will operate
according to the now schedule, and,
therefore, it was pointed out, there
can be 110 confusion after a man
has once reset his watch.
Summed up, Mr, Littlefleld says:
"The bill provides tor an hour
advance in standard time at 2
o'clock a. in. on the last Sunday
in .March of each yefcr and at
. a. m. the lust Sunday in October
uie standard time shall be retarded
one hour. Eleven countries have
adopted the summer daylight sav-
ing plan. The first was Germany,
then Great Britain, France, Austria-
Hungary, Italy, Sweden, Denmark,
Norway, Holland, Portugal and Au-/
stralla. London, England, saved
200,000 tons of coal during a sum
mer. In England in five and one
half months $12,000,000 in coal '.vere
saved, and In France $10,000,000. It
is estimated that in the United States
$10,000,000 can be saved in light
bills. The hour of daylight con
served by the proposed law can be
used by industrial workers throug
out America for gardening and agri
cultural work. This will be a most
important gain. We are sure of a
great shortage in farm labor this
summer and something must be done
to offset the probable loss in pro
duction of farm products. The hour
saved for daylight every day in April.
May, June, July, August, September
and October will be of inestimable
value in stimulating the dwellers in
cities and towns to interest them
selves in the production of garden
truck."

PASS DAYLIGHT
SAVING BILL;
AWAITS WILSON
Clocks All Over Country Will
Be Turned Ahead
One Hour
Wusliington, Mar. 16—The House
of Representatives, by 252 to 40. yes
terday passed the Senate daylight
saving bill, under the terms of
which, when it receives the signa
ture of President Wilson, it'will be
required that all the clocks in the
United States be turned ahead one
hour at 2 a. m. 011 Sunday, March
31, and remain advanced one hour
until 2 a. m. on the last Sunday in
October.
Under the bill parsed by the
Senate the limit was, fixed as the
last Sunday in September. The
House amendment extending the
daylight saving one month was
adopted upon representations by-
Fuel Administrator Garfield that a
great amount of l'uel would be con
served thereby. It is expected that
the Senate will concur in the amend
ment to-morrow.
Five standard time zones for th
United States will be fixed by the
Government, according to the bill,
and it is made mandatory upon the
railroads to follow the standard
time.
By the passage of the bill, tho
United States joins with England,
France, Switzerland, Portugal and
the three Scandinavian countries in
adopting a method of economy and
efficiency first taken by Germany
during the early days of the war.
Millions of tons .of coal have been
saved in these countries, it was
stated to the House to-day by the
supporters of the measure, by the
simple means of turning the clock
ahead over a period of five or six
months a year.
England reports a saving of 12,-
000,000 tons up to date. Several
Representatives who espoused tha
bill admitted that when it was first
proposed they considered it silly.
But, they said, when they came to
examine its virtues they fell enthu
siastically behind it.
Provided the President signs it,
and there is little doubt that he will
do so quickly, the daylight-saving
bill will have the effect of turning
us all out of bed an hour earlier
than we have been accustomed-to
arise and of sending us back again
accordingly. The use of fuel at
night will be conserved by the clos
ing of establishments at 11 o'clock
which ordinarily do business until
12 o'clock. By the clock on the wall
it will still be 12 o'clock, but by
the moral conviction it. will be 11.
Officials of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Bourse, two of the
many local organisations which car
ried the light for the daylight-sav
ing bill into the very halls of Con
fess. were jubilant on receipt of
the news that the legislation was
so near. Ernest T. Trigg, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, said:
"This is very gratifying to us. By
a readjusting of working hours the
war industries will be speeded up
materially and more time for the
cultivation of war gardens will re
sult."
Emil P. Albrecht, president of the
Bourse, said:
"This legislation will enable work
ers to get better results out of their
daily efforts, as they will be in bet
ter tune for speeding up operations
in the early daylight hours of the
summer months. In such a large
manufacturing center as Philadel
phia the gain in efficiency in the
various war work lines will be tre
mendous. Only on Monday last the
directors of the Bourse urged upon
Congress for the second time within
two months the necessity for this
change."
TO SPEAK AT Y. M. C. A.
Prof. Charles Calvert Ellis, of
Juniata College, will be the speaker
at the men's mass meeting to be held
in Falinestock Hall, Sunday after
noon. His subject will be "Does It
Pay to Be Good'.'" Special music will
be given and an interesting program
is being arranged for the meetinK
which is to be held under the aus

| Prosaic Dialog Heard
in Paris Music Temple
Paris. Dialogues strangely un
musical and heretofore unknown
within the sanctum of the French
Opera House are ,now being heard
in that temple of classical music.
"Give me a pound of tea, please?"
"Hand me a p<st of mustard!"
"Weigh one kilo of those dried apples
for fue, please," are the prosaic or
ders that are being currently given at
the Opera House, for a grocery store
is in operation where formerly high !
C's and rumbling bass notes were the
only commodities dispensed.. The
store is of the co-operative variety
and none but members of the troupe,
ballet or connected with the opera 1
in some capacity, is allowed to pat- '
ronize the venture.
Misspells "Cat;" Loses
Chance to Be Citizen
New York.—"K-a-t" "cat" spelled

Acting Chief of Stoff
Opposes the Censorship
BRIO. C*N, V PRYTO& MKJKM
General Peyton C. March, who has
just returned from France to be
come acting head of the general
staff, announced on his arrival he
was strongly opposed to the censor
ship of military news. He said:
"I think this muzzling censorship
is lamentable. The American officers
in France and all the officers abroad
are unable to understand it."
"Don't you think the American
people are loyal enough and morally
strong enough to asimilate the worst
news that comes—news of the hor
rors of war as well aa the best news
that can come—and that American
officers can be trusted not to di
vulge information of value to the
enemy?" the general was asked.
"Ye*. I think you are right." was
the reply. "I know of no gentle
method of conducting a war of this
magnitude," the general continued.
"No army can expect not to have
somebody hurt."

THE LIBERTY HEN
Tho fierce old eagle perched on
high has had his praises
sung
By poets and by orators since
this fair land was young;
A wicked, hard old lighter he, but
in this parlous day
I vote to place in discard this
selflsli bird of prey.
And for his place 1 nominate our
friend, the business hen,
A worthy type of patriotism and
friend of all true men.
On backyards, farms and grassy
plots where poultry grows
and thrives
Keep hens, raise chicks, produce
more eggs and save our
heroes' lives.
Far better is the cackle when an
honest egg is born
Than to hear the Kaiser hurrah
when a human heart is torn.
So let us heed the warning an 3
rally to a man.
And aid tiie nation-wide campaig*
that's been launched by
Uncle Sam.
More chickens, eggs nnd poultry
meat will seal the Kaiser's
fate.
Produce them now. not bye and
bye. when it may be too
late.
So, let's keep hens, ten millions
strong, for meat is fighting
fuel;
Increase our egg and meat supply
and blot out Prussian rule.
D. M. GREEN.
to freely give eggs and chicks to
persons who cannot afford to buy
them. The State Department of
Agriculture pledged its word to back
the great cause, footing all bills
for giving the public precise in
formation. A book called "Back
yard Poultry" will be issued shortly
giving minute instructions. The
"Liberty Feeds" will be on the mar
ket presently and they simplify the
troubles of feeding. Besides these
the government authority empha
sized the necessity of a backyard
poultry person utilizing, table scraps
and gsrden gleanings.
Must Produce to Eat
Chairman DeLancy put the pepper
( in the big with a sharp
1 resume of the situation, quoting
i Lord Rliondda, British Food Com
missioner who said recently: "The
[ whole world will be threatened with
'll famine at a much earlier date
than we realize." Complementing
this the chairman informed that
the United States would shortly is
sue this warning: "Unless you per
sonally produce you are likely to go
hungry." It is no longer a case of
each one doing his bit. Each must
do his utmost. The government has
started things by permitting live
chicks to be sent by parcel post and
it will do everything possible, to en
courage a mighty production of
hen-food, for every ounce of pork
and meat is needed abroad.
It was pointed out that an aver
age flock of ten birds for every fam
ily in the United States would mako
200.000,000 hens which could be
largely fed and maintained from the
kitchen and garden waste and should
produce 1,500,000,000 dozen (18,00 ft
000,000) eggs a year.
Would Help Army
The keeping of a small home
flock of laying hens by every fam
ily living "in a suburb, town or vil
lage or having a small backyard in
connection with a city home will do
more to help provide food necessary
to maintain our tnen in the Army
and feed the people at home than
can be accomplished by any other
means. At the same tinje it is a
practical way of teducing home ex
penses and regulating the cost of
living.
The size of the flock should be
regulated by the number of persons
in the family to be fed and tho
amount of table scraps* kitchen and
garden waste, that otherwise would
be thrown away, which could be
used for feed: From two to three
hens for each person in the hoifte
hold should keep a family supplied
with all the fresh epgs they re
quire. EVery one that has twenty
square feet of yard space can keep
chickens to advantage.
The machinery for building a
poultry army in this vicinity is all
ready, now, co-operation being as
sured to-day among the Central
Pennsylvania Association, the Penn
sylvania War Poultry Commission
and the Poultry Raisers of Harris
burg. The executive committee of
the Association were all present to
day: Chairman Khrman B. Mitch
ell, S W. Brightbill, Isaac Stees- and
P. Edgar Hess.

BAKER OPPOSES,
WILSON FAVORS,
THE GORGAS BILL
First Difference of President
and Secretary Comes on
Army Ranking
Washington. March 16.—The first
sign of discord between President
Wilson and Secretary of War Baker
over a question of war policy was
disclosed to the Senate committee
on military affairs yesterday when
witnesses urging passago of the
Owen bill, raising the rank of Army
medical officers to conform to that
in other armies, testified that the
measure enjoyed the sympathy and
support of the President and at the
same time is bitterly opposed by the
.Secretary of War and a number of
his principal subordinates.
AlmosU at the same time that
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, was
telling the committee the President
was heartily in favor of the bill,
a letter was received by Senator
Hitchcock, acting chairman, in the
absence of Senator Chamberlain,
stating that the measure would dis
rupt and unbalance ranks through
out the Army. This letter was sign
ed by Benedict Crowell, Assistant
Secretary of War, and in charge of
the department during Secretary
Baker's absence in France.
The measure introduced by Sena
tor Owen, at the request of Major
General W. C. Gorgas, surgeon gen
eral of the Army, provides for an in
ci
Tease in the number of medical
officers of the higher grades to meet
the ratio existing in the Navy. On
the basis of an army of 2,000,000
men, supporters of the bill explain
approximately seventy officers of the
medical corps would bo raised to the
rank of general, thirty-five to ma
jor. thirty-live to brigadier general
and about 650 officers would acquire
the rank of colonel. The witnesses
besides Senator Owen were Surgeon
General Gorgas, Major C. H. Mayo,
of the medical corps, one of the fa
mous Mayo brothels, surgeons of
Rochester, Minn., and Franklin
Martin, of Philadelphia, head of the
division ol' health and sanitation of
the Council of National Defense.
Orders Are Disregarded
The three doctors told the com
mittee that the orders and recom
mendations of medical officers un
der the present ranking system in
the Army are virtually void, inas
much as they are flagrantly disre
garded by line officers even in cases
where the health of the Army is
involved. Senator Owen also im
pressed upon the committee the con
tention that line officers ignore the
advice of surgeons and contradict
the orders of medical officers to the
detriment of the service and the
health conditions in the cat])pa and
cantonments.
General Gorgas said that when he
had recommended advanced ranks I
for medical officers to Secretary
Baker and submitted to him a plan
for the correction of the system
the Secretary peremptorily rejected
it. The bill was then introduced,
notwithstanding the Secretary of
War's opposition, and Senator Owen
testified that it had the approval of
the President regardless of Mr. Ba
ker's views to the contrary.
General Gorgas related his efforts
to impress upon Secretary Baker
the necessity of constructing hospi
tals first in the various Army can-1
tonments. It was shown in the re
cent War Department investigation
that th> delay In hospital construc
tion led to deplorable conditions in
several camps. In spite of the Sur
geon General's recommendation the
hospitals were among the last to be!
completed in some cantonments, he
said.
At Norfolk, Va., the surgeon gen
eral stated, the ranking line officer
refused to adopt the recommenda
tions of the ranking medical officers,
and, as a consequence, the port of
embarkation was "literally over
whelmed with sick soldiers."
Mayo Predicts Scandals
Major Mayo, who recently return
ed from France, boldly predicted
that grave scandals would grow out
of the situation where medical of
ficers were virtually powerless to
enforce rules they knew to he vir
tually necessary. He said he was
most eager that the Owen bill should
pass. That even if it does not, he
desired to make his position per

was to warn Congress against thi*

In France, he Bald, American
medical officers, many of -whom are
distinguished in their profession
here, have an inferior standing De
cause of the shoulder strap which
tliu United States government ac

army rank in ratio with the line of

American doctors in captains and

"Our doctors," he said, "are not
recognized by their reputations in
