SUMMER TIME
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION
WORK-GIRLS BEFORE CO"WS.
(UNITED PRISS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received Ist November, 1 p.m.) LONDON, 31st October. Humorous passages occurred when a deputation representing the Early Closing Association asked Sir. W. C. Bridgeman, Home Secretary, to permanently fix and lengthen the "summer time" period. Mrs. Cambridge, of the Women's Athletic Association, emphasised the recreative advantage this would afford to working girls. Referring to the fanners' op-, position, she said "let us secure better working condition for work-girle before we coddle the co\v3."
Alderman Solly, speaking as a farmer, said he believed that most of the farmers' opposition was due to prejudice. It was true that the cows did not like the change, but they got used to it in a few days.
