MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS
Advocates Of Daylight Saving Could
Do II by Setting Alarms Ahead
as Well as Clocks.

One good thing about compensations
is that they are always ready to change
to suit circumstances. That is, of
Of course, what compensations are for.
We have, therefore, no sooner made up
our. minds that we shall have to stay
at home with our backyard gardens
this summer than we are confronted
by the suggestion that our clocks may
be set ahead In order to give us an ex-
ira hour In the garden every evening,
says writer in the Indianapolis News.
It is easy enough to understand that
an hour in the garden every evening is
worth many day at summer resort.
There is, to be sure, the difficulty of
getting up an hour earlier every morn
ing, but 1t would not really seem an
hour earlier. Most of us do not like
getting up In the morning. no matter
what time 1t Is, and an hour or so
makes no noticeable difference ut that
time Of day. As far as all that is con-
cerned there may be some difference
of opinion as to whether the clocks
should be set ahead in order to give
us that hour in the evening or whether
the alarms on our clocks should be set
ahead In order to give US the extra
hour In the morning. 1t looks on the
face of 1t as though 1t might be pos
sible to get two extra hours out of our
days.

Kjones.
His wife cast contemptuous glance
al him. "Come with me to the attic"
she commanded. And he followed her
thither.
In the attic she opened a trunk and
took out bundle wrapped carefully in
tissue paper. Tearing off the wrap
pings, she disclosed lovely, filmy
gown.
"That" she said, SIS my wedding
Dress"
"And do you call 1t economy to save
your wedding dress?" he chortled.
''Thats not economy. it's sentimen-
tality. 1t would have been economy
to wear that dress and get its worth
out of 1t. But here 1t is no earthly
