 Thds daynxht saving arrAnrement seems Co be a source of dificuftiees of widely varying nature for many people. Now take the case of a boy who did not
 
 pected on Saturday nights-just this case. for instance.
 How was he to know what time it was or what may be expected to happen at any given time-3u5t a rttie bit of a char. you irnow9 And how could his parents really feel certain that he had not come in and gone to bed on daylight unvinr tims while they were watching csocixs sst at standard time

 On their way past the theater about d D. m Wellington and Paul Bitgood ksard coming from within the thea4el rcunds Ike what has been described a: he wziling of a lost soul. An investi ratfon followed and when door wal bpsne6 out popped as badly B frightened boy aa Dznielson has seen In many { Eay.
 And noe to f0r<vt an important pofn+ -the boy came through the door at { rpeed to make race horse jealous and lrorid's rec0rds up to 300 yards mus ,Eve been shattered in his mad dash fol kcme
 Not eoanE to give his name at leas ant1 ths time comes when he can si Town in comfort again. How did he ge lnto the theater? Why didn't he com' out when the show was over? Did h' fau asleep and get overlooked when thu house was locked up7 Who knows?
