Detroit is still struggling with the time
question. The effort Is being made to
recognize officially standard time Instead OF
local or sun time, but so far the City
Council has been obdurate. Advocates o.
the sun time system evidently cherish the
belief that by the proposed change an ad-
ditional half hour somehow becomes incor-
porated in the day, and they protest
against the necessity that would be in
volved of working half an hour later at
night Others object to changing their hab-
it's of life all over to suit the clock. Time
and some other things-move slowly In
Detroit.

case. the defect is to be attributed to uni

have been graduated.
If what Professor Laughlin says is true,
how does he account for the fact that the

Some of them appear not to nave discov-
