The government wants the country
in general to adopt the plan of day
light saving that is. it viii want the
clocks moved ahead an hour every
day from the end Of winter to the be-.
ginning of autumn. We can't see how
this plan can be carried out without
abolishing standard time. At pres
ent, owing to the division Of the Unit
ed States into time belts, about two
thirds of the country Is ahead Of sum
time, and the remainder behind it.
Eastern time, for instance, is based
on Washington, which has TO the east
of it only a small corner of the coun-
try, while to the west is a broad belt
in which are several of the most pop.
ulous states. Every mile west of
Washington is a gain for daylight
time. Chicago time, which includes
Florida, is nearer even, losing for
daylight east of Chicago, and gaining
for it to the west. Chicago, like
Washington, is not in the center Of
its belt, there being more to the west
than to the east. Mountain time is
based on Denver, with most of its
territory to the west; it is only Pa
cific time where the sun loses in the
course Of the year. The only way to
set the clocks ahead would be
for each community to keep dou-
bic time that is, sun time and rail-
rqAd time. f 0cala people set their

in criticising the women for the great

she was mufHed to the neck, swathed

we've had most of the time the last
