hr. In the seven-month period theo-
retlcaily this hotel will save IL tons
OF coal, approximately four pounds of
iuel being required to produce 1 kw.-
hr. of current.
Inc chlef executive of large group
VI Pupilc utility companies which nor
maliy spend $4,000, 900 a year on ex-
tensions and improvements, estimates
that the new time schedule has cans
ed three or four per cent reduction
in the amount of Lighting current
supplied by his companies. What this
would actually amount to in terms of
coal was not stated. Early in the
spring this public utility expert advo-
Gated the adoption of the now time
schedule for the entire year. believing
that it would be public benefit. The
fuel administration has also argued
for the extension of the plan to in
clude the winter months. But more
recently the expert referred to has
changed his attitude, declaring that
figures obtained from his engineers
show such discrepancies that he is un-
certain as to what benefit, if any.
would result from a winter daylight
saving schedule.
The change of time has been a big
factor in increasing gardening in
towns and cities. Thousands of fac
tory employees in industrial centers are
able to raise produce for the first
time. The bathing beaches, parks,
and other outdoor recreation centers
have had big increases in patronage.
The head of the Chicago Health De-
partment says that the present season
shows a big decrease in that city, and
he attributes much of the improve
mcnt to daylight saving.
The consensus seems to be that as
Il fuel-saving measure, as well as
from the standopiYt of health and
increased food production, the day
light saving plan has been highly sue
cessful. Estimates given out by the
Fuel Administration state that the
plan will effect n saving in this coun-
try of 100000 to 100000 tons Of
coal.

What Daylight Savings Has Accom-
plShcd.

O}y John Anson Ford, in the August

In a single day the personal habits
OF 100000, 600 people were radically
changed by the passing Of the day
light saving law, ana that change has
greatly benefited the nations health.
promoted gardening on an unprccc-
dentcd scale, and has conserved great
quantities Of fuel through the use Of
less artificial light. Householders
have been among those who have en-
joyed the most marked reduction in
lighting bills.
An Illinois county seat in which are
S91 meters, installed in homes and
small stores, furnishes figures which
probably can be taken as typical Of
thousands of American communities
In April, 1917, the current used was
$500 kW-hr., and in April, 1913,
21,942 kW.-hr., making q saving of l.
GGI kw-hr. The consumption for May
last year and this year was 21,672
kw.-hr. and 1924 kw.-hr., respec-
lively, making a slightly larger de-
crease than for April, while in June,
preliminary estimates showed, the
saving in lighting current would be
very much greater. In the plant sup
plying this town, approximately 3 1-2
lb. Of Illinois coal is consumed in
making 1 kw.-hr. of electricity. Esti-
mating the average monthly saving Of
the community at 1,S00 XIV -hr., an
added hour of daylight for seven
months theoretically will effect a saw
ing of more than % tons Of coal. If,
rs seems altogether probable, thou
sands of other communities have
made a similar record, the total saving
is enormous.
In large Office buildings the saving
| has been, and Will be, small during
the period Of changed time because
/ iINtliNd Oi lIt OlltcS are empty
! before the hour of darkness arrives
ON the other hand, clubs, hotels, etc
have experienced Il saving in artificial
light estimated at four or five pei
cent. In one nationally known hotc
the daily average of current used dur
ing April, 1917, was 3,451 kw.-hr. n:
compared with 3,0G7 kw.-hr. in April
1918, while the daily averages for MAY
Of last year and this were $3.50 XIV.
hr. and 1920 kw.-hr., respectively
As in other plants during these wal
times, Il cOnsidera BILE part o. the say
ing is not due to the change of time
alone, but to greater care in using
