Daylight Saving in White

Boston Gl0bc.)
It is being proposed that daylight
saving be continued through the win
ter. An objection is raised that in win
ter months in these ATTITUDES there is
no superhuous daylight to save
This might be true if we counted a
winter day only at its December mini
mum. But taking all the days between
Oct. p, when the clocks would be
turned back to the old time, and March
!, when they would be turned forward
again there is quite a quantity of day
light. and it then becomes merely a
question of where to put it into our
clock hours so that it can be used by
the most people.
BY continuing the present daylight
saving system we should get an added
hour of daylight in the afternoon This
hour would he lost by workers, who
have to 90 to their tasks as early as
Z clock. 1t is fundamentally posi-
bic to figure out whether more people
could use this daylight hour at the be.
ginning or at the end of the day. On
that finding the case can rest

This means that subscribers must keep
their subscriptions PAID IN ADVANCE

former regularly. Notice Of expiration Of

not neglect it and then blame the publisher
for what is your own fault.
