THE STARS plan for saving an extr
i hour of daylight seems to have struC

THE STARS plan for saving an extra
hour of daylight seems to have struck
popular chord.
The council, at its next meeting Mon
day, will consider the proposal to set Sc
attic clocks an hour head during the sum-
mer months Dozens of Seattle citizens,
interviewed by The Star, are almost unani-
mously in favor of the idea.
1t is a good plan. Rigid, unrelenting
economy is one of the factors which must
be counted upon to win the war. Why
should we not start by economizing on
daylight? 1t seems silly, when you think
of it, to sleep during the best hours of
the morning, when the sun is first peep
ing up over the Cascades, and then, at
night, to strain your eyes by electric
lights.
Why do we thus squander daylight? Be
cause everybody else does-that's the an
swer.
If everybody else arose an hour earlier,
we'd do the same, 1t really would be the
same time-by the clock-for all clocks
would be set ahead an hour, and as far as
the clock was concerned, you would then
arise at the same time as you do now.
Cleveland, o., has been slipping an
hour over on Father Time for couple of
wears now, and is tiCkled over the results.
