ROMANS HAD "SUMMER TIME"
Modern Method of Counting the Hours
Merely an Imitation of Prac-
tice They Employed.

Probably few people are aware, says
a correspondent of the London (Eng)
Daily News that summer time" is
merely a poor imitation of a common
practice of the Romans. Whilst we
switch the clocks backward and for.
ward twice year, the Romans made
changes every day. In practically
every province of the Roman empire
day began at sunrise and ended at
sunset The day consisted of twelve
hours" whose duration was not sixty
minutes, but one-twelfth of the total
period Of daylight. In high summer
time, with sunrise at a. m. and sun
set at 8 p. m, each "hour" consisted
Of eighty minutes. The first 'hour"
was from to 600 in the morning,
the second from 6 30 to 7 $40, and so
on. In winter time, wher the sun
rose at a. m, and set at p. m, the
day was only eight of our hours in
duration The Roman midwinter hour
was therefore only forty minutes. The
first hour was from s to $40 a. m,
the fifth from 10 40 to II 20 a. M.
and the twelfth from 3 30 to 4 p. m.

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way--a means as simple as Nature
itself
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action Of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
1t cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense q
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant.

A Longtime Contract.

While the ancient forest is doomed,
the terms of the proposed sale are
such that the succession of its sylvan
posterity is assured, according to the
National Lumber Manufacturers asso-
citation. Though the timber now Of
fered for sale by the forest service is
sufficient only to keep moderate
sized mill running continuously for 20
years. the service will at the end Of
that time open up another unit and
SO on until eventually TOOO,0OOOOO feet
of timber will be made available.
The unit IT is now planned to open
is 81 per cent western yellow pine.
The minimum price the forest service
will consider for the pine in the initial
unit is 1918 q thousand and 80 cents
for timber Of other species, although
logging the latter will be optional with
the contractor. II is stipulated that
the mill must be in operation by April
/. 1928, and that stumpage prices will
be readjusted every three years there
after.

10 the automobile business, was finished

In previous years the exhibits had

7. Miller Kalsach. just recently rc-

Prosperity Returning, but Not

WORKERS WILL SURVIVE
BY j. ]. COLE

sOIo Ni0totctr company
BUSINESS is coming back, but not
Dwith a bang. It has had n hard
night, and Is sneaking back on tip toe
with its shoes in its hands. For while
reports generally were pessimistic. Now,
for the most part. reports from over
the country are more encouraging. and
here and there we hear Of concerns that
are actually showing an increase over
1920.
Take our own company for example.
Our October shipments were 100 nor
cent over October of last year; No
vcmbcr exceeded November Of last year
BY 200 per cent. and December by 80
per cent. These increases are made in
face of the fact that 1920 was the sec
ond biggest year in our history.
And there are enough other similar
instances to show conclusively that
business is much better. 1t has not yet
recovered, but IL Is convalescing. But Is
IL headed toward normal? Personally, |
hope it never gets back to normal. in
the old accepted sense of the world.
What do you mean by normal?
What Normal Means
II normal means las things used to
be. it would be catastrophe for the
automobile business ever to become
normal. Would you want to see the
time, once more, when dealer could
sell anything on wheels. just so the
motor would start: when no real sales.
manShip was required. and the order
takcr got fat and incompetent because
the going was so easy?
Resistance is what makes strength
and the sales resistance now being on
COuntcrcd is making tho automobile in
dustry stronger than II ever was be-
fore. 1t is good for statesmen to have
to fight for business. 1t is good for
factories to have to fight for business.
1t makes statesmen think harder and
work harder; and 1t makes factories
build better cars. l know that the motor
car of 1922 is the best in the history
Of the world. When you so to the Au-
tcmobile Show this week study the cars
on exhibit. and YOU will see what l
mean.
Weak Cars Are Going
No, don't want TO see the automo-
bile industry get back to where it used
to be. This period is Kidding the in
dustry of those who were never strong
enough to carry responsibility.
The weak cars are going. The weak
factories are going. The weak dealers
and statesmen are going. Good cars.
good factories, good dealers and good
salesmcn are having no serious trouble
they are going TO emerge from this
little unpleasantneSs stronger than ever
And all this is good for the industry
as whole, and for the user of motor
cars.
1t stands to reason that hasty manu-,
facture implies the sighting of quality.

are more cars than prospects. u
