 Suppose half of the above people were boys and girls under 16 years of age, imagine the reduction of juvenile of lenses as well as the splendid physique building results of such an hour.
 On account of the time their cars would save in individual transportation, of the 4565, GOO owners would each start a war garden of an acre near their home towns imagine the results, It would mean the tilling of 4565 acres of land now idle If while driving to their war gardens" each one of these owners would give four other war gardeners a lift, it would mean 22,S25, eco acres of new land working to cut the high cost or living.

OVERSEAS REQUEST FOR SKILLED AUTO
 REPA|RMEN PROVES TRIBUTE ID TIRES
Low Percentage of Tire Re pairers Shows Proper Con- structiOn = Warfare No Longer of With Old;
 on With New"

Although General Pershing has asked for TOGO skilled automobile repair men, only 120 of these are specified as tire vul- canizers and experts" comments A. c. Partridge, general sales manager of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company of Akron O.
 This small percentage-only IT to the hundred-is high tribute to the builders of modern passenger car and motor truck tires It is proof that even the gruelling work of rushing munitions to the front line trenches, of literally dashing through barrage fire with a load of wounded, of meeting shell craters, devastated roads, wrecked bridges and the like as a matter of course, cannot make American made tires quit.
 And this is all the more noteworthy when one considers the high development of salvage in modern warfare. It is no longer a case of off with the old, on with the new when tire, a rifle, hat, or even a shoestring, is concerned It is instead, save everything you can.'
 'These tire experts are being recruited to rejuvenate the thousands of tires worn out in the strenuous service of the world war I regard it as one of the highest tributes to American manufacture and American ideals of quality that so few are demanded"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-31

Especially is this true with the au- tomobile industry. where every see ond counts in meeting demands now being made upon it. not only by the government in war work but by deal CTS in supplying business concerns with motor trucks and passenger cars, so that they may increase their ef- forts to keep up with the big inroad on their time and labor.
 As the bill now stands, at D. III. today the country's time will be set ahead one hour and so remain until Sunday, October 27. During this period there are 209 days. exclusive of the two Sundays above mentioned. De- ducting 29 Sundays as well as the three holidays-Decoration Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day-gives TIT actual working days, counting Sat urdays as full days.
 INCREASED TRAVEL
 The latest report of the number cf passenger ears and motor trucks in the United States January 1, 1918, ap- proximates 5000, ,000-deducting the 4S5 900 motor trucks, gives us 4,565 .0G1 passenger cars. Suppose every owner of the above number of passenger cars used them during the hour saved for business, professional or patriotic HOfh. AL ~ uillSS all nOuT lHIS would mean an increased mileage of 91,300.- 0o0 miles per day or 16,160, 100. 900 ad- ditional miles for the full daylight say ing period.
 In the transportation of passengers alone, this extra mileage would mean tGguring four passengers to a car) transporting 1S.260,000 people 20 miles Ter day, or S.232.O2o.000 people during the 1f7 daylight saving days. This transportation service, valued at the railroad rate per passenger of cents per miie.. would total S36,520,000 geT mile per day. or s730, 900 for the full hour per day. or s129.2 500 ,0oo for the full new IT daylight saving hour period.
