word Of It. To be perfectly frank about IT,
now that we have started taking our read
ers into our confidence. from the genera
tanor of this note we gain the disunct Hii-
pressiou that she not only likes what we
ror4,a but that we personally have made
decided hit with her.
All of this is written really for the pensnS
of the Brooklyn man who recenuy ooiH-
r,,,nicated with our Sunday Editor 70 Say

Than came along this letter from ln0
vnunr lady saying how highly She p-
rsrdea us, and we have therefore ooeo

that she had heard our particular Stories pe-
fore and still enjoyed them Is PROOF pos4-

has evidently been assooiating with some
extremely clever story teller and the second

Inc that he Is now willing to drop the sub

w FELL. let's forget the Brooklyn man
w until next week because we have
w some remarks to make about Day
fight Saving. We have developed plan for
daylight saving that will satisfy both sides.
It will stop the complaint of those who
object to rising an hour earlier In the
morning tiet 1t be known that we have Q
decided leaning to that side of the ques-
tion) and in addition 1t will be distinct
saving Of time
II we succeed in putting our idea across
IN this country we will Immediately offer
our services In settling the unpleasant re-
Jattons between England and Ireland, after
mich the United States will doubtless seek
our advice about how to enforce prohibition
and then the Church Unionists will very
likely ask us to announce a creed to which
all can subscribe with these things out OF
the wav we will as a mental diversion settle
a few minor questions like the theory oil
RELATIVELY existence of the Fourth DiTnen-
sion and the Far Eastern Problem, rewrtte
tbe Constitution Of the League Of Nations
and select New York's next Mayor.
These thoughts have come to US as re-
suit of reading in one of the papers that
England will this year set her clocks back
two hours instead Of one hour. COR do they
advance them instead Of setting them back
We never can remember which 1t is) Any
how, when it is really o'clock in England
the official time will be 7 o'clock. Thus
England will be two hours ahead Of thu
world. Now, say that there are 5o,o0o,Oot
persons in England. We don't know tn
population and don't care to know about 1t
All we want is number and 50,Oo0,oOO vii
suit just as we'll as the real population TO
the purpose of making the point Now ]
they save two hours a day for each perso1
they will have made a saving Of 1OO,Ooo,oo
hours daily. This means a saving o
4,166.666 days every day, or I'LL year
day. It figures into s33,S00 years PEI
month, and by the end Of the five summer
months England VIII have saved 1,e66,6b
years Of time.
Can we hope to overcome such handicap
as that in our race for commercial suprem
acy? It Is unthinkable that we will permi
It. The thought doubtless overwhelms you
How, you ask, may we beat these English a
their own game? Ah well you may asl
how. But fear not, our brain has solve
this problem.
The solution is to set our own clock
hack not merely a miserable little tw
hours but full twenty-four hours. wit
our 100, 600, 600 persons each saving twenty
four hours every day by the end Of hv
months the aggregate would be scmethin
stupendous. We would not only be savin
the time but those who object to getting u
an hour earlier (and we are among thos
who do) could arise at their usual time wit
the fun consciousness that they are work
ing just as hard as every one else.
There Ia another thing that could
done very nicely. n we do not need a
this time land the chances are that we d
not) we could set the clock back FL
twenty-four hours once week, and thei
having an extra day on our hands. we coul
all take holiday. We could do this ono
a week all during the hot season.
