At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning the
clocks in France were advanced one
hour, and, with the exception of
Greece, Turkey, Switzerland and
Russia, nearly all of Europe will be
officially under new "save an hour of
daylight" scheme.
Germany was the first country to
adopt the sheme. England and Italy
soon followed; then the Scandinavian
countries and finally France Joined
the group also.
Heretofore it was o'clock in Lon
don when it was noon in New York,
nine minutes after in the afternoon
in Paris, six minutes to 6 in the af-
ternoon in Berlin and ten minutes to
in the afternoon in Rome.
With the new scheme of advancing
the clocks one hour it will be o'clock
in London at noon time here, nine
minutes after in the afternoon IN
Paris, six minutes after Z in the al
ternoon in Berlin and ten minutes
to 7 in Rome. In the matter of ca
bling to any of those countries 1t is
we'll to bear this in mind, for a cable
gram sent to London from New YORK
at 7 o'clock in the afternoon would
not reach there until at least one
O'Clock in the morning, whereas I'M
der the old system it would have been
delivered at midnight.
Will Affect Newspapers.
The advance of an hour will very
much affect the newspapers IN the
European countries, the majority OF
them now going to press an hour
earlier, which, while officially mid
night, is actually II o'clock at night
Thus important news occurrences IN
America or other remote parts after
in the afternoon would not reach
England or France or other parts OF
Europe in time for publication there,
and consequently would not become
public until the next morning or al
ternoon.
The advantages of the "save an
hour of daylight" scheme is that peo-
ple retire an hour earlier and rise an
hour earlier. The argument is that
those who sleep until o'clock IN the
morning in summer are wasting three
hours of sunlight-hours when the
human brain and physical mechanism
are at the highest point of their Ell
fciencv and in which they can ac-
complish most.
It is also stated that scientists have
determined that sleep in daylight Is
not as beneficial as in darkness,
Therefore by trading an hour OF
morning daylight sleep for an hour Oh
night sleep the mental and physical
fitness of people is increased. inns

MILLIONS FOR
BIBLES LAST YEAR
Gideons, Composed of Commercial
Travellers, Largest Single Custom
err. Books Placed in Hotels.


For the first time in the history of
Bible printing and selling, and solely
because of the war in Europe, Amer
lean Bible publishers are this year
making Bibles and Testaments to sell
in the European, South African and
Australian markets.
This situation is not that of the
missionary and Bible societies, but of
Bibles in the regular trade.
Because of the war the Bible bus
mess of the world, save only in Ger
many and Austria, is larger than ever
before. The excess for 1915 reached
so per cent, it is estimated.
Of the nations at war England is
affected hardly at all in ability to
purchase Bibles, but in inability to
manufacture them it is handicapped,
and has to call on America for sup
plies. Scotland is affected in the
same way. France has taken to Bible
buying, and so has Russia.
The largest single customer in the
Bible trade in America are the Gid
cons. These are now buying, so the
trade reports, $4,000 Bibles year.
Since they began buying, six years
ago, one New York firm sold to them
100000 Bibles. Gideons are com
mercial travellers who buy Bibles and
the money with which to pay for BIZ
bles from churches in which they
speak when stopping over Sunday in
a town.
The largest of the Bible houses
reports the manufacture and sale of
100000 Bibles in 1915, larger
number than in any previous year:
One man estimates the Bible and
prayer book regular trade in the
United States at nearly $3,000,00O a
year.

BRISTOL, Tenn.-In the years to

Five mules nearby were killed by
