Ijj DAYLIGHT hours are longer-.
1 3 from April to September.
These are the outdoor months. You
**go places” then . . . picnics, sports
and all sorts of things which keep
one outside during the evening.
From September to March day-
light hours are shorter—therefore
electric light hours are longer. There
is less outdoor playtime and more
indoor amusement.
If your electric bill seems higher
now you will understand why, if you
but stop to think that the average
family uses electric light almost three
times longer during the winter than
summer. The mellow light of the liv-
ing room has a mighty strong appeal
when the day’s work is done . . . and
that means extra service from the
electric lights.
This chart shows the average num-
ber of hours in which electric lights
See Footnote
are used in the average home for each
month in the year:
January - 6 Hours, 32 Minutes
February - 5 Hours, 38 Minutes
March - - 4 Hours, 10 Minutes
April - - - 3 Hours, 48 Minutes
May - - - 2 Hours, 57 Minutes
June - - - 2 Hours, 33 Minutes
July - - - 2 Hours, 36 Minutes
August - - 3 Hours, 9 Minutes
September 4 Hours, 00 Minutes
October - 4 Hours, 54 Minutes
November 6 Hours, 11 Minutes
December 6 Hours, 51 Minutes
The chart quickly explains why
your electric bill is higher for the
winter months than it is for those of
summer. But the small increase at
this season is negligible if compared
to the comfort and cheer which elec-
tricity brings to the long winter eve-
nings at home.

AUSTIN, Nov. 15. — Representa-
tion on state boards and bureaus was
sought Mpnday by officials and rep-
resentatives of the State Federation
of Labor at a -conference with ex-
Governor James E. Ferguson, hus-
band of Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, Tex-
as governor-elect.
The labor leaders strongly urged
that labor be considered by the in-
coming administration in making its
appointments, stating it would be of
matei’ial aid to labor to have repre-
sentation on the various state boards.
In a brief talk to the group, Fer-
guson stated he and his. wife would
be glad to consider labor representa-
tives for appointment. He suggest-
ed that labor leaders make nomina-
tions for submission along with other
recommendations for appointive
posts.
Ferguson stated that it was likely
the legislature would abolish several
of the present boards and bureaus.
Advisability of abolishing the indus-
trial accident board has been widely
discussed, Ferguson said, reporting
that some well informed persons did
not believe it adequately met the
needs of those seeking compensation
for injuries sustained while at work.
He congi’atulated organized labor
for taking “time by the forelock” and
making its wants known beforehand
and suggested that the labor group
maintain a committee of not less
than six to stay in Austin and be
available for conferences with the
governor on labor matters and to
represent labor before legislative
committees.
Ferguson stated all governmental
units were in bad condition and pre-
dicted that the regular session of the
legislature, starting i n January,
would be the “most eventful in the
state’s history.”
“Maybe we ’can get labor to help
us abolish some of these boards and
bureaus,” he said.

METHODISTS RALLY
AT AMARILLO FOR
FIGHT ON REPEAL
AMARILLO, Texas, Nov. 14.—The
twenty-third annual session of the
Noi’thwest Texas Methodist Confer-
ence came to a close Sunday evening
with a gigantic prohibition rally
which was held in the main auditor-
ium of the Polk street church. All
available space in the auditorium was
occupied. It is estimated that there
were more than 3,000 persons to hear
Dr. J. W. Hunt, president of Mc-
Murry College, and Bishop Hiram A.
Boaz discuss the liquor situation.
Frequent and vociferous applause
greeted many statements of the
speakers .-
“Preachers of America are not to
be swept off their feet by the booze
hounds and beer guzzlers sitting in
the balconies of Chicago,” Dr. Hunt
said.

building better homes, better schools
and better communities for better
boys and girls. The parent-teacher
movement has a large part to play in
the development of an informed pub-
lic opinion which will safeguard the
best interests of children. With a
parent-teacher association of the
right kind in every school, it is pos-
sible to enlist the interest of every
parent in the inspiring purposes of
the national congress of parents and
teachers. It was such a conception of
the organization of home and school
on a nation wide basis which Theo-
dore Roosevelt visioned when he said,
“The parent-teacher association is
the most fundamentally constructive
force in the world today.”—Publicity
Committee,
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 14.—Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt Monday night tele-
graphed President Hoover that he
would be delighted to confer with the
chief executive in Washington, but
was not at this time able to suggest
a definite date.
Roosevelt wrote:
“I appreciate your cordial tele-
gram. On the subjects to which you
refer, as in all matters relating to
the welfare of the country, I am glad
to cooperate in every appropriate
way, subject, of course, to the require-
ments of my present duties as Gov-
ernor of this State.
“I shall be delighted to confer with
you in Washington, but I have been
confined to the house with a slight
cold and I am, therefore, not able to
suggest a definite date.
“I shall call you on the telephone
as soon as the time of my departure
for the South has been determined.
“May I take the liberty of sug-
gesting that we make this meeting
wholly informal .and personal?”
“You and I can go over the entire
situation.
“I had already arranged to meet
a number of the democratic leaders
of the present congress late this
month at Warm ^Springs. It will be
helpful for me to have your views
and all pertinent information when I
meet with them. I hope that you
also will see them at the earliest
opportunity because, in the last anal-
ysis, the immediate question raised by
the British, French and other notes
creates a responsibility which rests
upon those now vested with execu-
tive and legislative authority.”

GENEVA, Nov. 14.—An elaborate
scheme for bi’eaking the disarma-
ment deadlock, solving the problem
of security and meeting Germany’s
arms equality demand by tying to-
gether ai’ms inductions and security
pacts, was submitted textually to the
disarmament conference Monday night
in behalf of the French government.
The French plan calls for applica-
tion of the Bi’iand-Kellogg pact, the
League of Nations covenant and spe-
cial regional agreements for inutual
assistance against any aggressor. It
proposes reduction in effectives and
materials of wai*, with a special allot-
ment of cei’tain troops and arms for
the use of the league in enforcing
peace.
Features of Plan.
The technical features of the plan,
which is designed to achieve these
general purposes, ai*e:
1. The establishment in European
countries of short term defensive con-
script armies.
2. Special offensive forces which
would be placed under direction of
the league in a time of emergency.
3. The establishment of stocks of
powerful arms in cei’tain localities in
the counti’ies providing those stocks,,
which would be under the control of
the league and for the use ol the
league.
4. A special Meditei-ranean naval
pact and a general pact for the sup-
pression of the most offensive naval
arms.
5. The abolition of aerial bombard-
ment and l’egulation of all aircraft
to prevent use of bombardment, the
oi’ganization of European civil air
transpoi-t under international Euro-
pean supervision and a special air
force which \yould be placed at the
disposition of the league for peace
purposes.
Rearmament Banned.
Two underlying principles, which
the French regard as of supreme im-
portance, are that thei-e shall be no
rearmament and that the proposals
ai*e a unified whole, all parts of which
are strictly essential to the success
of the whole.
Genei-al discussion of the Fi’ench
plan will await a lxxeeting of the gen-
eral comixxission of the disarmament
confei-ence some time within the next
few weeks, but Sir John Simon, Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary, will present
the British observations before the
conference bureau, or steei'ing com-
mittee, Wednesday.
