the Bureau of Mines, in first aid and mine

operating with the mining authorities Of the

from the tragic fact that even now more

ahead with it, and the prospect is that we

CLOCKS GO BACK SUNDAY
Burlington to Return TO Eastern STAN
dard Time October

Daylight saving time, by which Bur-
lingtonans have worked and played
during the last five months, will give
way to Eastern standard time next Sum
day morning. This was generally agreed
upon yesterday. Last spring. when II was
decided to move the clocks ahead one
hour, beginning May 2. 1t was under
stood that the Arrangement would con-
tinue until October 1. But that day falls
on Friday and it IL the opinion Of those
who have considered the matter that 1t
is better to make the change early on
Sunday morning, as was done when
daylight saving was a national law. The
schools and all city departments mer-
chants and those In other lines of bus
mess will. therefore, finish the present
week without any change. Church serv-
ices will begin an hour earlier Sunday
morning and thereafter Eastern stan
dard time will be the rule in Burling-
ton.
Therefore. either set your clocks and
watches back one hour. or move them
forward II hours, before retiring Sat
urday night. make up the hour of sleep
you lost last May and forget all about
the change.

THE MOST EFFICIENT LIGHT
(From Boys Life)

Fame and fortune await the scientist
who discovers the secret Of the familiar
FREELY or lightning bug. No one has been
able to tell how the little insect pro-
duces the flashes Of light we see twink
ling about us on dark nights. Careful
scientific tests have proven, however,
that this light is produced with about
one four hundredths part OF the energy
which is expended In the flame Of a can
die. Considering the strength or rather
feebleness of the FREELY this light is
believed to be the most efficient form of
illumination known to-day. II this
method could be understood and put to
work It is calculated that the energy
exerted by boy in driving bicycle
would be sufficient to run a powerful
DYNAMO or light miles of street lamps.
The light of the FREELY Is practlca 'Iy
heatless and 1t is bel eyed among scien-
lists that the future Of the lighting indus
try of the world depends upon the dis
coyery Of a heatless light.

Brooklyn has already clinched the pen-

land, by defeating st. Louis yesterday,
went another half length ahead Of
Chisago In the final dash for the Ameri-
can League pennant. The White Sox
were idle and as a result now trail the
Indians by one and one-half games. AL
though New York completed its schedule
with double victory over the Athletics,
the Yankees were formally and fina ~
put out of the race so far as the pennant
is concered by Clevelands victory. The
latter has four games to play and IL the
team loses all OF them the Indians still
would be one game ahead of the Yankees.
To settle the race between Cleveland
and Chicago, the former to win must
take three of the remaining four games
provided Chicago wins the three remain

should do no better than break even and
