the big haul of prisoners netted by
the st. Mihiel salient drive the Amer

days of that drive one encountered
long lines of Happy Heninies, as
the doughboys called the Germans

streaming back toward headquarters
and later to the pens hastily erected

The prisoner problem was big one

When the first waves of Americans

OF all the foolish fallacies of recent
Indulgence the daylight saving" hob
by is the most barren of merit. The
day is just twenty-four hours long
and no legislative eXpedient can
lengthen it. Saving an hour in the
morning and wasting it in the even
ing gets us nowhere. The agricul-
tural people are paying no attention
to it. and except in the best disciplin-
ed offices, it actually results in loss of
time. Employees, long accustomed
to a fixed time for rising, become
habitually late at the Office or work
shop. and the result is an unavoidable
delay in beginning the days work.
Any regulation affecting long estab-
lished habits and customs of the peo-
pie must necessarily produce confu-
sion and disorganization. If the new
order of time were made permanent
the public would gradually adjust
itself to its operation, but making
the change occur twice a year is
worse than foolish However, moth
ing but a trial will convince your
average apostle of change that the es-
tablished order of things, growing
out of the experience of hundred
should be departed from
with caution.
