SOME farmers (sel6shly backed by
gas and electric light companies) de-
manded of Congress that the extra
hour of daylight be abandoned, and
Congress has meekly complied. When
the clocks are turned back next Ocft-
Der they will remain turned back. The
long summer evenings will be elimin-
ated. you can't fool the sun" is the
favorite argument Of these persons who
do not know what sun time is. And
we even find Senator Williams, II
Mississippi, declaring his opposition 10
Congress underta king TO usurp tie
powers ''nf God Almighty and seeking
to fix the time when the sun shall ri. e
and set" That really is funny.
''Sun time," of course, is regulated
by the astronomical noon hour, and
the noon hour is the moment when
tie sun is highest in the heavens. But
sun time" varies in every city and
hamlet in the United States. The noon
hour (by the SUM in Boston comes
considerably earlier than the noon hour
in New York or Philadelphia. The
noon hour in Philadelphia arrives
earlier than the noon hour in Harrie-
burg. AS you proceed West there is
progressive change.
Now il "sun time" were to prevail
throughout the country the clocks
would vary in every hamlet except
when towns were on the same meridian
of longitude. There could be no such
thing as standard time. Railroad tim, :
tables would be in hopeless and hell :
less confusion Years ago, therefore,
this country-and all Europe. for that
matter-was divided into zones and
the clocks within given zone were ar
bitrarilv set to mark the same time. A
traveller from Boston does not have to
inquire at Philadelphia what time of
day it is. He consulls his watch, and
not until he reaches somewhere west of
Pittsburgh does he turn the hands
back in order to conform TO the arbi-
trarily fixed time of the next zone.
The farmer who talks SO glibly about
the impossibly of fooling the sun has
actually been fooling the sun right
along His clock does not register
''sun time" but standard time arbit-
rarily fixed by Congress. The extra
daylight hour gained by advancing the
clock is no more of an attempt to fool
the sun than is the standard time to
which we shall return in October.
But the return is rafting good
thing Tor the gas and electric light
companies. And incidentally it adds
to tn already high cost of living

PROPONENTS of the League of n: :
tions have assiduoasly circulated re-
ports that the Republican Congress has
neglected" the public business since
assembling in extraordinary session
while devoting virtually all of its tim
to attacks" on the President. Par.y
politics, we are told, is the motive.
Space requirements forbid the analysis
We should like to make of this type OF
propaganda. 1t SO happens. howevei,
that mere recital of the work done by
Congress since the President grudging
ly consented TO call it on May 10, dis
poses Of the entire subject. During the
I've lshort weeks it has been in session
the Congress has handled it's busine SIS
with unusual efficiency. incidentally
IL has Topped off approximately 81 500,
DOC. 900 Of the expenditures proposed by
the Bakers, Daniels and HurIeys. We
are inclined TO think that the country
will not be altogether ungrateful TO u
Congress which in one short time
reduces annual expenditures by a
SIM greater than that which was .
quired to finance the entire govern
ment in the years preceding the war.
At the rate the Congress is now cut
ting estimates for next year it is im-
possible TO reach definite conclusion
on the subject. Legislation providing
for repeal OF the luxury tax will prof.
ably be passed within the next few
days, and thereafter preparations will
be made to meet next years expendi-
ture.-HdrUey Weekly.

Not All Can Be Hclped

In New York City there are, at
conservative estimate, 100000
youngsters of school age who need
country outings each summer and
must depend for them upon The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund or some
aImllar organization. Not all of
hem can be given the outings they
iced. There is tie problem, then,
of choosing, out of the multitude,
nose whose need is greatest.
The Fund investigates them, then,
and chooses the poorest. palest and
weakest. Did you ever stop to think
What would be involved in an in
vcstlgation of 100000 families? To
cover the job properly it would be
ccessary for the Fund to begin in
NHptember Of the year before the
'Alldren we're to need the outings
md employ staff of Investigators
whose salaries would cat up the
'ntlre sum contributed by the pub
lc IN any one year for the entire
work Of that summer.
There arc foci in the city toward
which their various needs drive the
children of the poor-the ailing
child goes to the free dispensary,
the sick child to the public hospital,
The play starved girl and boy of the
crowded tenement home seek the
social settlement, the youngster who
Graves Christmas trees, picnics and
entertainments attends the mis-
slon Sunday schools; the offspring
of day working mothers are har-
bored in day nurseries.
In two hundred or more such or
ganlzations which dot the city from
brownsville to The Bronx the needs
OF the children who come within
their purview are learned, made
note of and compared day by day,
not merely in the summer, but
month in and month out through
out the year. When the summer
comes round the Fresh Air Fund
has ready to it's hand on the records
OF these organizations an impartial
list of the little citizens of tene-
ments who need a change to the
country.
