DAYLIGHT SA WING

In spite of the fact that New York City has passed a daylight
saving ordinance to apply only to that city next summer and even
,Sthough other towns and cities in the vicinity Of New York are con-
sidering similar action, we cannot see how any daylight saving prop
sosition can be anything but a farce and lead to the utmost confusion
unless 1t is adopted by the country at large through the action of
congress.
got to have a standard time. It would be bad enough If each state
the rest Of the states, but for the thousands of municipalities to
sStert fixing their own time means confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
o. "for I think yu We got to be run on standard time. Standard time
amenseyh M 5 = EHcnment at Washington. If some towns advanced
-oFcedr time a - o on their own accord and others did not, imagine
do: lat a CON S = he running time of a train would be. In one place
1t would b g ? ir ahead and the next place it would be an hour be-
hind. The cpS in the church steeple of one town would point to IL
o'clock and when the next town was reached, after a run Of fifteen or
twenty minutes, it would be long after IL o'clock. In New York in
sid&the railroad station the time would be one hour behind the time
on the street. The New Yorker going to catch a train for Phladel-
phia Would see the street clocks giving New York time, only to enter
The station and find the time an hour later, for railroads will have to
run their trains according to the standard time fixed at Washington.
They've are a great many reasons to recommend daylight saving,
but it isl plain that setting the clock ahead one hour in summer has
got to bdgeneral or it ought not be done at all. Perhaps by next sum-
mer congNess will be so impressed with the determination on the
part of a la(ge portion of the population to save the hour of daylight
in the SUMMER that the daylight saving law will be reenacted dur
ing the coming session. AT least an attempt might be made to ac-
compEsh ii.
Congress is the place to look for such legislation. Instead of pc
thionng local councils or Boards of Aldermen to pass the daylight
saving ordinances the proper course is to petition congress. Unless
the whole nation adopts the daylight saving, it is folly for the sepa-
rate communities to take any action of this kind entirely on their
own responsibility.

Doep Your Church Touch All of Life?
BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE

Church Life, Limited"
It was a sign painted on an office
door-entrance to q religious news
paper "sanctorum."
Church Life, Limited"
It was the name of the newspaper
and it was highly suggestive.
Like men and women-tndividual-
ly-the life of the church is limited
when it Is out of touch with God.
1t cannot have life If it has lost
contact with the Oliver of Life.
Neither can 1t enjoy life If 1t is
out of touch with people.
Dead churches do not attract live
people.
"Church Life, Limited"
Some churches are alive to a
limited degree-they have become
possessed of a certain measure of
truth, and to that extent they have
life, but some OF their arteries are
cut-these arteries which reach out
to vital doctrines and practices which
constitute the whole of life.
To be concrete:
When a church is open only on
Sunday and dark the rest of the
week. It's a case OF Church Life,
Limited"
It's only o~ne-seventh alive.
For PEOPLE live seven days In
the week, and they need every day
what the church might give them.
When a church teaches only a GER
tain set OF doctrines-no matter what
they may behaving a bearing or
only sectarian truth-it deliberately
cuts itself off from vast areas of in
f1uence wherein it might operate If
only 1t were big enough and broad
enough to see the other sides of the
truth.
When a church welcomes only
certain kinds OF people. and shuts
out the poor and the wretched be-
cause their presence make the pew
holders uncomfortable, 1t hats lost
more of life than it can possibly
realize.
When a church limits ats teachings
to the hereafter, neglecting the facts
OF religion which Zeal with the here
and-now, 1t IL dead by just SO much.

When a church ministers only to
the people of its own community and
forgets the millions in benighted
lands who need the gospel, its tnfu-
ence is limited and it's power re-
stricted-even at home. For any
church that doesn't give it's people a
world-vision isn't fair to them nor to
the people in these lands.

Let's hope you don't belong to that
kind of a church.

why you shouldn't begin to put more

TAX QUESTION
 CAUSES MUCH
 APPREHENSION No Intelligent Estimate Un- til Amount of Bond Issue
 is Known. FINANCIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO MEET Will Probably Do Some Pruning on Acquisitions
 Now Asked For.

Taxpayers in Bridgeport are begin ming to get rather anxious regarding the tax rate for the coming year. From present indications they will be kept in suspense for at least another two weeks and possibly longer. No intelligent estimate of what the tax rate will be can be made at the pres ent time, according to City Auditor Bernard Heating, who is in a position to know more about the city's finances than any other person in Bridgeport.
 There are several reasons why no estimate can be made at the present time. In the first place, heads of the pity departments have recently asked the financial advisory committee to recommend to the Board of Aldermen a bond issue of S2,275,000. The com n1ittee will meet in Mayor Clifford B. Wilson's office Friday afternoon to consider this matter. City Hall gossip has 1t that several cuts iu- the amounts asked for by the various departments will be made by the committee and when report is finally made to the Board of Aldermen not much over S2,- 100000 will be asked
 Another contingency that must be taken into consideration is how the ystate legislature will take the appeal that must necessarily be made, foS permission to float bonds Will the legislature give the city of Bridgeport the right to issue an enormous { amount in bonds for the purpose of making up a deficiency in the bud gets of several departments for the fiscal year that is to end on March S1? That must be answered before 8 tax rate can be figured on. Only last night the Board of Education | asked for a bond issue of over sill. | 900 to cover salary deficiencies as a result of increased pay. It is claim. | ed that Mayor Wilson promised the board to take care of this matter when the pay of the teachers was in. creased some time ago.
 The grand list is not yet complet ed and that is another matter tha will aid In determining the tax rate
 It Is said that the list will show aI
 assessed valuation for the city O
 Bridgeport of about $229, 100000.
 Taking all these things into con
 sideration, one mans guess Is as gooc
 as another's, according to Mir. Keat
 ing.
 The present outlook is that the ta,
 rate will not be under nor over 8
 mills for the fiscal year endin,
 March 31, 1920.
