DAYLIGHT FOR ATHLETICS.

One of the arguments advanced for
the Saving Daylight" project is that
by setting the clocks ahead in sum-
mer, there would be more time after
the evening meal for athletic sports.
It is expected that this movement is
to get quite a boost at the meeting of
the United States Lawn Tennis asso-
citation, which takes place in New
York the second week in February.
The president of this association is
working for the plan.N
The principal reason why the ordi-
nary business man ana mechanic
does not engage in athletics is the
early coming of the darkness. After
ones dinner or supper, whichever the
evening meal is called, the night soon
comes on. T.
In Great Britain the long twilights
make it much more practical for ordi-
nary people to engage in sport. In the
latitude of Edinburgh it is light
enough to play any game until 10
p. M during the longest days. I'm
agine the enormous amount of sports
that would be enjoyed in this country
could the light portion of the evening
be heightened.
sition is practical or not is another
question. There are difficulties in the
way. = But it does seem as if working
hours should be so regulated that the
average man would have more Of his
time in summer for outdoor sports.
In a good many places recently
twilight baseball leagues have been
organized. They start in about $3.50
or o'clock, and pretty nearly nine
innings can be played for most Of the
summer. If people would but be
willing to- readjust their business
hours a bit, the athletic fields could
be thrown open to millions Of work
ers. The benefit to health would be
enormous, and many monotonous
lives would be frightened. All this
could be done without any setting
ahead of the clocks if people could
but see the common sense of it.

ALL YEAR COLLEGE TERMS
American Universities Are Seriously
Considering the Plan as a War
ENpedient.

New York.-Many American unlver-
stiles, It is learned here, are seriously
considering making the college year
consist Of four terms Of - weeks each,
with only four weeks vacation n year.
1t is also proposed. by certain changes
in the c%urrlcula. to teach as much In
two of the new terms as was formerly
taught In three terms, or the whole col
lege year.
These measures are suggested as a
var expedlent. It is admitted the new
arrangement will not be quite as effec-
tive as the old method but the advO-
Gates argue better results will be OBJ
tanned from the plan than by trying to
continue with the old system when
young men have little time for educa-
ton and are in more of a hurry than
formerly to get into the army Of some

Failure Of the Underwood Law to Pro.

Question Of Needed Lealsla-
ton After the War.

We have had the tariff with us so
long, have revised 1t so often, have
fought so many battles over II, a
strong popular taste exists for tariff
discussion. Even In the midst of the
war talk a few observations about pro
lection and free trade will come In
appropriately and very well.
For several years we have been OPP
Grating under the Underwood law.
When It was constructed there was no
thought Of a foreign war. II gas cal
culated for peace. Its trainers took
into consideration peace conditions,
both at home and abroad, and held the
hope that they would long continue.
But even in those circumstances the
calculations failed. The law did not
redeem what had been promised and
vowed in its name. Ii did not produce
the amount of revenue expected, and
II did not hearten business. If the
war had not come we should soon have
faced the necessity for some new tar

The war has been in progress Dor

action has broadened. We have been
drawn in. Business embarrassment
have multiplied. AS n result, there are
new angles to the tariff question, and
some new ideas as to old angles. When
the war ends there will be tariff re

we shall have to take them into &C

Business Comes First.

This government is to borrow
ey as it never did before, and to levy
taxes such as the people never before
dreamed of. Bonds car be bought and
taxes paid only out of the proceeds
of productive industry. Therefore, 1t
is important, nay, necessary, to keep
production at the highest point pos
slble. 1t will, of course, have to be
heavily taxed, but that fact makes 1t
all the more imperative that 1t be
fairly taxed. Business as usual may
be a difficult ideal. But it is n that,
in these trying times, it is worth
while to strive for. There will be
much s%elhshness back Of the efforts to
avoid taxation. With that, of course,
we have no sympathy.
