DAYLIGHT SAVING SCHEME

. We know we cannot, by merely-tak-
ing thought, add one cubit TO our
stature, but it has been demonstrated
that we can get more daylight by
turning our clocks forward. The d.
visions of the darkness and the light
of a day, Of course remain immuta-
bly, the same, tbut we can extend the
hours of the living day and the work
ing day. The movement, which was
successfully tried in Europe last sum-
mer. has taken pretty firm hold on
this country. and now we are to have
a Nations Daylight Saving ConTen-
,ion in New York on January so and
81. The parties promoting the con-
vention have issued over four thous-
and invitations extended to Govern
ors Of all States, United States Sena-
tors, Members of Congress. mayors
of $50 cities, Governor General OF
Canada, other Canadian representa-
tives, the American Federation OF
Labor, American Railway Associa-
ton, chambers of commerce, boards
OF trade and other commercial, finan-
cial labor and scientific associations.
Responses already received indicate
a large attendance.
Congress will take a hand In the
matter, if the intentions Of Congress
man Borland, of Missouri, are carried
out. of introducing a bill for daylight
saving. Provision is to be made in
the measure to have the plan effec-
tive throughout the entire United
States. beginning May l. next and
ending September so. Further pro-
vision will be made in the bill so that
the present coming system Of stand
ard time which was put into effect
in the early. eighties by the American
Railway Association shall be the le'
gal time for use in interstate com
merce and in the conduct Of the post
office. at the opening and closing OF
the United States courts and all 9th,
or Federal offices. and that standard
time in each zone shalt be advanced
one hour the summer months.
