Saving Daylight" and the Public.

Plans for Saving daylight" are again being
agitated in the United States, and the United
States Chamber OF Commerce is urged by its
special committee on the subject to have con-
gress enact law ordering that all clocks be
turned ahead one hour. So much is involved in
the topic that needs detailed consideration. On
first view the proposal is attractive, but some
OF the charms fade on closer inspection. In the
United States an artificial standard" time has
been adopted for convenience, based on the sew
cnty-hfth meridian, which passes through Wash
ington, and changing with each fifteen degree Of
longitude. Thus Omaha standard time is that
fixed by the nineteth meridian, Denver takes its
clock time from the l05th and San Francisco
from the 10th. On the other side, Boston takes
time from the sixtcth, thus making variation
Of three hours in crossing the continent. This is
fairly close to the actual astronomical fact
But the amount Of daylight depends on other
factors than the transit OF the sun through the
sky. Latitude and altitude affec ne daylight
hours, and these vary greatly lghout the
United States. Omaha is favorably situated in
this regard and also we'll placed as regards the
standard" time, being an average Of half an hour
ahead OF the sun throughout the year. For
Omaha, changing the clock in the manner pro-
posed would make but few minutes difference
IN the actual daylight used here.
No reasonable, objection can be lodged against
starting work earlier in the day, but such action
will lead only to knocking off earlier. The sun
will roll in his course on the same schedule and
natures processes will follow the same.

astarvationn Scarcely involved.

Starvation of England is hardly within the
realm of probability any more than is the starva-
ton Of Germany, if recent figures may be relied
upon. While for long time both England and
Germany have given greater attention to other
pursuits, to the apparent neglect Of agriculture,
and neither nation before the war produced all
the food its people consumed, necessity has de-
veloped unexpected resources for BOTH For two
years the Germans have been cut off from the
world, so far as importation of foods is con-
cerned and yet its population has kept far above
starvation diet
Very late figures for the United Kingdom
show that the agricultural resources of the ISL
ands are far more extensive than generally cred
tied. While the area Of wheat acreage was smaller
in 1916 than in 1915 and fewer swine are reported,
large increases are noted in potatoes, cattle and
sheep, with greater acreage in pasture for the
feeding of meat animals Nearly 100000 cat
tie are now in the islands and correspondingly
large number Of sheep, with reasonable total
for hogs and horses. In this connection the
people have been urged to devote baclyards and
similar patches TO raising potatoes and vegetables
and to the feeding Of pigs.
The British government has shrewdly antici-
pated the possibility of a subsea blockade, with
precautionary measures to forestal any danger Of
starvation. II the war is to be terminated this
year il will not be because Of the hunger of the
people, but because one side or the other will
have exhausted its military resources.
