No. 104 EVEN NG NEWS PRESIDENT'S ACTION Executive Veto of Daylight Saving Repeal Measure is Effectively Overridden.- TO RETURN TOSUN TIME Stubborn unit Unwarranted Attitude . of President 'Wilson Lcuds to Almost Universal Demand Heeded by Congress. (Bv Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 Believ ing that the people's demand should guide them, the senate today killed the daylight savings law. endorsing the house action in passing the re peal iineasure over the president's veto by a vote o 57 to 19. The repeal is effective Oct. 1, at which time the clocks will go hack to buii time and fancies of the executive will lie swept into "oblivion. The house passed the repeal .measure Tuesday by. a vote of 23,1 to 101. Loss 6f time in farm labor is the principal obection raised to the law. This complaint comes . principally from farmers employing hired help and opponents of the law declare all farmers, at some time during the present season, are employers of la bor and suffer from the law. The co,inpla.int of loss of labor is based principally ion the shortonlug of the working day on the farm -by the advancing of the clock one hour from March to Octobor. The farmers' complaints dec'are they cannot 'adjust farm work to the ad vanced timo because, with -the clock advanced one hour farm work can not be begun as early in the morn ing as under normal time schedule and must close an hour earlier. This is because the dew on the ground In the early morning prevents plowing and other farm labor under the ad vanced time schedule. r Farm hands it was . contended, will not work after fi p. m.,'or at most 7 o'clock. Advancing of the clock an hour, therefore, It is de clared, causes a loss of an hour's working time at the end of the day. when the ground is in good condi tion for work but with farm labor refusing to work aftor G or 7 p. m. Various farm activities, it Is said, must coordinate with clock .time in adjacent towns and cities. Farmers it is explained, must deliver produce to trains, frequently early in the morning. If the farmers work bv sun time, in order to meet ground conditions, milking tof cows. etc.. it it said they suffer hardship in rising and working an hour earlier in or der to lond wn"ons of produce to meet trains. Thov also declare cow3, chickens ,md other farm ani mals cannot adjust themselves to the new clock time but retiniive at tention according to 'natural custom and sun-time hours. Mothers' objections to the day light law are based urron confusion, of conditions In the home and. fun damentally, 'oss of s'oen by child ren They declare children are n wakenfd an hour earlier than usual under the law and lose another hour's sleep at night, because of re fusal or inability to sleen durlnc davlight of the evening. . There con ditions, it Is said, cause loss nt weight fretfulness. nervous trouble and other ailments of children, and the mothers, too, from contact itn the children. Protests against the law from la bor unions and workingmen are based upon the requirement or the d- flight law for earlier r sing. Wives nf workingmon. it is said are compelled often to rise before dnv lipht. and prepare breakfast by aitl fic'al light. ' ' ' Rural school authorities object to the law because, they say. it is a hardship both on pupils and teach ers, who often huve to walk, from one to six miles to school nnd must arise before daylight to arrive on time. Some towns in agricultural dis tricts, observing farmers' opposition to the law, have refused to adjust their clocks. Maintenance of the "old" time in such towns causes con fusion -m meeting trains and other civic affairs. ARE PLACED ON.

I - 1 That the Mexican situation Is something that should command im j mediate attention is the opinion of ur. ueorge m. HoucK, rocently a mn or in the Medical department of tho U. S. Army, who served for many mjonths with the Oregon Cavalry on tho border before going overseas whore lie was 'promoted to the rank which he held nt the time fcf his dlschargo. " "My observations" he says, "were that Mexico needs a guardian. It Is going to be up to us to police the country and we might as well get at It now as at any other time, unless we do put a large force of soldiers In Hie country we are al ways going to have trouble and lots of It. Mexico is looking for trou ble seems to want it, and I believe we can furnish her all she wants. "It will take between 850,0100 and 400,000 men to handle tho sit uation.

"I believe the war department means business this time nnd Is hot stalling around as In previous fiasco, f sure hope there Is to bo somethln'; doing anyhow. If we don't settle the thing right now tho Mevlcans will consider our fnollcy rather a wishy-washy proposition and our nrevlous difficulties will seem noth ing In comparison to the outrages they will endeavor to perpetrate.
