| Complete plans for the daylight saw.
ling system, which goes into effect to-
morrow have been announced by fed
eral officials and the nations workers
are ready to push the hands of the
clock one hour ahead to assist Uncle
Sam in his fight for liberty.
Every city in the country. every
town and village, everything is in
readiness for the new system, a sys-
tenn that will save the nation thou
sands Of tons of coal daily as we'll as
assisting the working man, the shop
girl and the labortng class as we'll as
the busy Office man.
What this plan means to the nation
can be described In few words. In
the first place 1t means the conserva
ton Of the fuel supply. Secondly, i.
gives the average man more time to
devote to gardening, which in turn
means a bigger supply of food for the
nation and, thirdly. it means a more
healthy nation.
The work Of the masses will be done
in daylight, where, heretofore, it was
done in the dark certain number Of
! hours a day.
Favored by All.
Since the plan was first spoken Of
lit has attracted the attention of some
VI SIC Oi6SCSL uACA Lie ".
Efficiency experts have studied the
turned favorable report on their
study.
The action has been favored by
President Wilson for the past several
months. Garfield and Hoover have
been ardent supporters of the plan.
There has never been an argument
against the system and every learned
man in the country is Of the R,e1ief that
the plan will greatly aid the nations
savings.
The daylight saving plan will give
the following daily advantages:
One hour or more for outdoor rec
reation. Recreation is national as
set, an immense force for health and
moral well-being.
Working mothers and fathers obtain
an extra hour for outdoor play with
their children, both summer and win
ter.
One hour less for bad lights in tene
ments.
Lessened eyestrain for workers and
school children due to the use Of artifi-
cial light.
Smaller risk Of accident in indus
trial establishments. because there
will be light hour instead of dark
one at the end Of the working day at
the time of greatest fatigue and most
frequent accidents.
Lessened risk Of accidents due to
transportation and traffic conditions,
because the afternoon rush will fall in
daylight instead Of darkness.
Working girls will be on the way
home in the daylight instead Of in the
dark in winter.
Our last hour Of sleep will be sound
er and more beneficial than it is I'M
der present conditions. because there
will be less light.
General efficiency will, Of course. be
increased by any improvement in the
health morals and social welfare of
tire workers and others.
Morning Goodness.
In summer a cool hour in the morn
ing is substituted for a hot one in
the afternoon.
In winter light hour at the end Of
the day is substituted for dark one.
