WHY TURN BACK THE CLOCKS?
Many Would “Save Daylight’? All
TIME TO BE CHANGED SUNDAY

Sunday night, October 27th, is the time
for setting back the clocks, thus bringing
to an end What the Literary Digest calls
our first experiment in saving daylight.
Although it is impossible fo estimate the
amount of fuel saved during the seven
months of extra daylight, there is a wide-
spread conviction that the measure has
been a success,

Indeed, “the suggestion has been made
by some enthusiasts,” says The Electric
Railway Journal, “that the plan should be
continued throughout the year. They
believe that people are now so accus-
tomed to rising an hour earlier than they
otherwise would that they would continue
cheerfully to do so during the winter.

‘Would Have to “Get up at Night”

“These advocates however, overlook
the fact that such a plan would require
most people to get up a considerable
time before sunrise. They would thus
have to use artificial light in the morning
instead of in the evening, so that there
would be no saving. Moreover such a
measure would be very unpopular, be-
cause while most people do not object to
sitting up in the evening with artificial
light they do object to being obliged to
use it after rising in the morning. . . .”

Another “psychological point” which
the same article mentions is that if peo-
ple used artificial light in the morning
they would waste a great deal by forget-
ting to turn it off until some time after
it had become daylight.

GET THE CROPS IN!

Farm workers are badly needed, every
afternoon and all day Saturday. C. Col-
man ’20, who is managing the farm dur-
ing Miss Dimon’s absence, says the au-
tumn work will be finished by the end of
the month, provided enough labourers
turn out.

Sixty Volunteers Saturday

The corn-husking was finished Satur-
day by volunteers, twenty working in the
morning, and sixty in the afternoon.
Most of last week’s laborers were sup-
plied by those who had registered farmt-
ing as their choice for conscripted work.
In the absence of the coercive machinery
of conscription, which has not yet started,
they responded readily as volunteers. A
considerable share of the work has been
done by the graduates.

Vegetables Supplied to Halls

The vegetable supply of the halls is
bought largely from the farm, at regular
wholesale rates. Orders are given each
morning by Miss Crawford, the Junior
Bursar, to Mr. Woodward, the farmer,
and filled in the afternoon. The tomatoes
are picked then, and the carrots or tur-
nips dug, that are served next day at
table.

This week vegetables are being dug up
and cut, to be buried in pits on the col-
lege grounds, in store for the winter.

MAJOR CECIL ORIGINATES TOXINE

Major Russel L. Cecil, brother of E.
Cecil ‘21, has discovered a new pneu-
monia vaccine. The commission from
the Department of the Surgeon General
of the U. S. Army brought a complete
laboratory in a Pullman to Camp Wheeler,
where 6000 of the 9000 men have already
been inoculated under Major Cecil's su-

pervision.

ARMY WANTS MORE BOOKS



More books are needed for sdldiers’
reading, says the Literary Digest. $3,500
must be raised for the American Library
Association out of the approaching Wel-
fare Drive. The “average man” has
given books generously, but mostly of
fiction and not the new educational books
also wanted by the soldiers.

“For instance,” writes Frank Stock-
bridge, ‘National Director of Information,
Library War Fund, “the chemistry of
high explosives is a subject on which we
cannot get books from the average man’s
book-shelves. Neither do they yield books
to meet such demands as that from a
Greek soldier, who wanted a book to help
him teach an Italian soldier how to read
English.”

Seniors Vote for Hygiene Course

The Senior Class has voted to attend

lowing Mondays, will be given.

VASSAR MAY HAVE CONSCRIPTION
HAS BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH BRYN MAWR
WAR COUNCIL

At Vassar a mass meeting has been
called to consider conscription “as a
means for obtaining the most effective
war work this year.” Until now Bryn
Mawr has been the only one of the East-
erm women’s colleges to have its war
work on a conscription basis. Vassar
corresponded with executives of the
Bryn Mawr War Council on the subject
during the summer.

Last year all registration for war work
at Vassar was voluntary, and the main-
tenance of the work depended on the in-
dividual.

The only two war activities constantly
in progress are Red Cross work and the
work of the Collegiate Periodical League,
according to the Vassar Miscellany News.
Intermittent forms of work are farming
and work on the grounds. Freshmen will
not be permitted to do any regular war
work the first-semester, but will be asked
to cut the grass and do such volunteer
work as does not require regular hours.



CHAPEL ORGAN TO BE MOVED
AND MENDED BY DECEMBER



Choir Seats May Change Position

The chapel organ will be repaired and
placed in a new position for the 1918-19
choir, which will be chosen after the
quarantine. The armature of the electric
motor, by which the organ is pumped, is
worn out and will have to be replaced. It
is hoped that this can be done by Decem-
ber. The organ will then be moved far-
ther back in the chapel on the same side.

For the present, the organ is not being
used at morning chapel and is being
blown by hand for the Sunday evening
service, usually by a good-natured Senior.
A piano was suggested for the chapel un-
til the organ was mended, but the propo-
sition was rejected on account of the ex-
pense.

By the new arrangement the choir will
probably sit in the seats now occupied by
the graduate students. It is-hoped that
the singing may be led more easily from
this position.

It is a far cry from the organ of today
to the musical methods used in morning
chapel a number of years ago. The choir
occupied the first row of the Senior seats,
and the leader, standing at one end,
pitched the hymns by striking a triangle,
the only instrument then allowed.

MANFUL MEASURES vs. FLU

As Seen in Campus Health Clubs
One direct and beneficial result of the
“flu” epidemic has been the formation all
over the campus of informal health clubs.
Night owls are night owls no longer, and
the country around Bryn Mawr fairly
bristles with undergraduates taking their

| constitutionals.

Merion manfully drinks milk with all
its meals. Bathrooms are hourly thronged
with enthusiastic garglers. And sodium
phosphate has become an overwhelm-
ingly popular beverage. Seareely a
student but boasts a health program
such as has hitherto been reserved for
fanatics and fresh air fiends only.

Such is the havoc wrought by war!

Influenza Hospital
(Continued from page 1.)

Mrs. Branson is “General” of the hos-
pital and has had the work of setting up
the wards. Mrs. Daniel Keller (Frances
Branson ex-’19) has done some of the
night ambulance driving and was also for
a while in charge of the motor service.
Thomas Branson, Jr., is an orderly and
night ambulance driver. ue

Amy Sharpless ex-'01, daughter of the
former president of Haverford College,
paints signs and posters for the establish-
ment.

The hospital has so far accommodated
about seventy influenza patients.

The carpenter, who had been excep
tionally busy on Friday, asked to be re-
leased a little early so that he might
make the 250 crosses for funerals in the
village, which he had promised as “his

Appreciation for the assistance of Bryn
Mawr students in getting the building
ready is expressed by the Emergency

| Hospital in a letter to the Red Cross.
