Old Bill Hardhead had a few things
20 say about daylight saving and stand

Especially amusing is the final and
supposedly crushing argument Of those

impressive. But is a.?
1T seems that the chief objection TO
Daylight saving il based on sacrilegious
tanperinr with ttmepieces - advancing
Them an hour in the spring and setting
them back an hour in the early fall ;
there's the crime.
Pew who do not wish to appear RI
dicuious viii pretend that such units of
time as the hour. minute and second are
other than devices or divisions of time
that are strictly man-made, as is the
mile. the rod. the yard. or the foot and
inch. These are arbitrarily fixed units
Of time and distance. as IS the verst and
kiiometer OF other lands.
Vow. while the standard-timers do
not admit it or possibly overlook the
fact. the Lords time or sun time, as
some are pleased TO call IL. changes prac-
ticaily every day IN tho year. Having
stood for this during the period Of their
greater or shorter life times, it seems
strange that there should be such a
hulabailo over the two extra changes
one IN che spring and one in the fall
that the daylight savers. who really save
little daylight. have introduced.
Zach DAY is arbitrarily divided into a
period OF "a hours but few of the 365
