Daylight Saving a Success Abroad

DAYLlGHT saving has won another
convert. Cleveland and Detroit
both have found the plan Of chang
ing the time during the summer months
successful but the first city in the East
to adopt the plan viii be Springfield.
where the clock will be set ahead officially
on the stroke Of midnight, July !. Holyoke,
Chicopee, West Springfield, Longmeadow,
Agawam, Westfeld and most Of the cities
and towns in the western part Of Massa-
chusetts, according to "The Springfield Re
publican" will take similar action. Il Is
possible that the plan will be adopted by
Worcester and other cities in the eastern
part Of the state.
Unless the time is changed throughout
the state. railroad time In Springfield will
remain the same. Little opposition was
found in Springfield 10 the idea. Those
who were in favor Of it argued that the
change in time would give additional time
to intensive food production and garden
ing, extra time for daylight recreation,
would effect saving in light bills, mini
mize noise in the early morning hours and
consequently would allow more healthful
slumber.
But there is another side 20 daylight saw

Patriotic Spirit Runs Through Bill
Of Fun for Week.

II It is true that novelty plays a
great part in the success OF a show
and the best critics tell us that-then
the Hello America show at the Gay
ETY., this week with Lewis and Dody
as the comedians, is a world-beater in
the success line. Especially is this
true of the national spirit that the
show inspires through the introduc-
ton Of martial novelties.
AS in the years past. Lewis and
Dody have an original and laugh-mak-
ing line OF jokes and songs; having
played together for seven years, they
have practically down pa not the art
of extracting applause even where the
blues" once We're. This ocular pair
are well assisted by Primrose Semon,
the dashing little soubrette and in
terlOcutor of the clever minstrel show
in the second act.
1t is quite easy to find Lewis and
Dody handing bits" to the ticket sell
lers at the Polo Grounds in New
York where the Giants are at home,
as the two are baseball bugs" also
would-be fishermen.
1t must be said in passing that the
two comedians display unusual versa
tility, posing as character comedians
in the first act and as black face
boys" in the second.
The show is full of pep" due to
collection of players that are eX-
ceptionally talented and lending the
utmost in individual effort toward
making the Hello America" show a
show that is different

the beauty Of the scene. Electric

The drawing rooms were cleared OF
furniture, and space given for dane

guests INDUCED following the dinner.

HOROSCOPE.

| Wednesday, September II, 1917.
| Astrologers read this as an unCer-
| tain day in which every one should
| be careful. The Sun. Neptune, Uranus
and Saturn are all in malefic aspect.
Late in the afternoon Jupiter Is
| friendly.
During the busy hours, routine
should be followed as there is a SIMS
ter sway for whatever Is new or like
ly to involve future interests.
1t is a particular unlucky day for
seeking cooperation or support in any
enterprise, financial or philanthropic.
This sway makes for unusual suf-
fering among the poor and the seers
prognosticate a falling off of contri-
buttons for relief work in American
cities and novel projects for raising
funds.
Neptune gives warning OF a severe
storm at sea in which lives will be
lost.
During the next few months many
vagaries will be noticeable among
men and women, who will develop
unbalanced tendencies and an increase
of insanity is prophesied.
Saturn is in an aspect that Is sup
posed to increase danger from dark
or underground places. Mining or SUBJ
way accidents are probable.
Again the assassination of a man
prominent in public affairs is fore
Swallowed.
Neptune is believed to encourag
fraud and treachery when the stars
are posted as they are today.
Late in the evening fairly good luck
should attend plans in which finan-
ciers and importers are interested.
Jupiter smiles on banquets or din
ners at which subjects of momentous
importance are discussed.
At the time of the entry of the
Sun into Libra this month the three
malefics. Mars, Saturn and Jupiter,
conjoined in the seventh house and
setting at Berlin. are believed to in
dictate disaster for the Kaiser.
Death of a royalty will take place
before October /, it is predicted. and
this will be followed by mortality in
other quarters .Nere rulers exercise
power
Persons whose birthdate II is have
the augury of a checkered year in
which they will meet gains and losses.
Children born on this day will be
probably very quick and clever but
they are' likely to meet with vicissi-
tudes in life.
