DAYLIGHT SAVING
IS NOW A HABIT
People of City Becoming Accus-
toned to Change, Although
With Difficulty in Places.

Daylight saving is now habit with the
people of Wilmington. In obedience TO
the decree promulgated by City Council,
conferred by the general welfare clause
which gives legislative bodies leeway IN
regulating the habits of people, Will
mingtonians set their timepieces ahead,
and cheerfully went to their various duties
and occupations ono hour earlier than
had been their wont.
True, there was some little confusion,
and is yet for that matter, but when the
vast number who are enjoying life, liberty
and pursuing happiness under the new
time dispensatlon is considered that
number is ncglible. Some few persons
missed church services Sunday morning
because of forgetting TO set their clocks
and watches ahead.
Indications are that, in order TO keep
properly in touch with the city and its
life, the smaller towns nearby will adopt
the same time rs Wilmington Newport
has already done so, it is stated Towns
in the central and southern part of the
State are not apt to adopt the change
because of the opposition of rural popula-
ton to the innovation and because the
railroads use the old time Some
few people got to work lat, yesterday
morning on account Of the change, but
this was to be expected, and Is not likely
to happen twice to the sarAe worker.
CHANGE AFFECT TREAT REs.
The change was noticed at some of the
theatres. At the Garrick W. l.. Dock
stader, proprietor and manager said
many of his patrons, who are railroad
people, were late for the shows, which
start on the new time, because of the
conflict, not having sufficient time. IL Is
believed. however, that with q little
effort, they can overcome the difficulty.
The railroad men work on the old time.
II is said that there is division in the
Public Building on the matter Of time.
The city offices, in obedience to the coun-
cilmanlc decree, are Of course operating
under the new time But the county
end Of the building is not so unanimous.
Coroner Bullock and County Superin-
t,r debit Jump are keeping the old time,
while the office force of the Recorder
OF Deeds is divided, some working by
standard time and some under the city
time.
The clock in the postoi1ice or Federal
building stll haunts deiiantly the old or
standard time at the passer-by. and will

Common Sense Dictates Buying Useful
Things

We know and everyone knows that
local conditions do not justify "splurg-
ing" this Christmas. But such gifts
as Furniture, Dishes, Rugs, Silver ta-
bleware, vacuum cleaners, etc, are
necessities and have to be bought any
way. Why not have the added fun of
giving them at Christmas time? Toys
for little tots are here in abundance.
