THIS IS SHORTEST DAY
 OF THE PRESENT YEAR

The winter solstice will occur at 6:17 o'clock this evening, making today the shortest of the year. At that hour the sun will have completed it's southern journey for the year and will then begin its six months swing to the North. It will be several days, however, before there will be any noticeable change in the length of the days. Thursday will be the first day upon which 8 whole minute will be added to the sunlight.
 It is a peculiar fact this year that although today is the short est day of the year the actual hour of sunrise will grow later each day until December %, when it rises at $50 in the morning very latest time. On the other hand it is said the sunset reached it's latest hour on December F, when it set at 3:07. Today it set at 3:09.
