Daylight Saving.

N AYLIGHT saving is psychological trckery
il rendered desirable by the Unborn soth of
human nature.
City people either too methodca too
lazy to arrange their sleeping hours in accordance
with natures eternal plan. They snore in bed on
summer mornings when redbreasts .twitter in tree
tops and the earth's face is washed in dew and
sunshine. The day is we'll advanced when they
come yawning to eggs and coffee. When they
reach their offices at last there is alternative
but to stay indoors when outside all the wonderful
world is calling.
Thus hours OF glorious living are wasted. When
the days work is it is impossible to profit
to the utmost by the outdoor recreations for which
daylight and sunshine essential Coli courses
and tennis courts close with the first streaks Of
darkness.
BY forcing everyone to get up all hour earlier
daylight saving is boon to humanity. Why not
jump out of the sheets sixty minutes earlier any
way without changing the clocks? To manipulate
time requires a good deal of bothersome detail
and reacts unlustly certain classes OF business
and certain trades. The answer is that people will
not do They will growl if ordered to come to
work at 8 a. M and talk OF the inhuman way in
which they are treated. But if the hour hand is
moved around the trick is accomplished
city wide agreement to change working hours
without simultaneously changing time would re-
suit in infinite complexities. Daylight saving advo-
Gates realize this, and urge that community go
the whole way not start.
TITS easier for a few to suffer than for
an entire community to fight the dictates of its
own watches
With one city under the daylight saving plan
and another adhering strictly to the old system
various Inconvenience in communication are sure
to arise 1t would be we'll to make plan or
the other nationwide. AS daylight saving in

III feeling bred at the Genoa conference. may re-

Premier Poincare INDUCES in fantastic dreams

The policies France has followed during the present

Another gigantic outbreak OF hostilities seems
impossible to avoid if Europe cannot restore har-

make sacrifices for the benefit OF the whole.
France cannot long hold Russia and Germany

reasonable compromises there will be no

WHALES DESTROYING
ALASKAN FUR SEALS.

Half OF the Alaskan fur seals are
lost at sea before they reach com
mercial or bearing age. is the con-
clusion OF the committee on conser-
walton OF marine life in the Pacific
Of the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science.
As the fur seal is valuable
commercial asset 70 the United
States the committee advises an
investigation OF the causes OF the
depletion Of the Alaska herd.
From 1918 to 1920 the govern
ment sold I2.Ios pelts. the gross
proceeds from which were S3.5S4.-
rO5s. or an average OF more than
81. oOo.O 900 per year. Commercially
killable males lost at sea have fully
equalled this number and an equal
number of females were lost, il is
declared.
illegal open-ses sealing has been
inconseauential since the treaty q
1911, the committee believes. and
in the destruction Of more than
1000 animals annually. The total
loss amounted 10 about $1,000 ami
mails in 1921.
The experts declare that fur seals
do not appear TO perish at sea in
large numbers from hunger or dis
ease and that the killer whale is
the only known important open-sea
enemy. Killer whales have been
observed in the act Of destroying
fur seals on a great many occa-
sions, particularly in the vicinity
OF the Pribilof Islands Records
exist Of eighteen TO twenty-four
seals having been taken from the
stomachs of two killers.
Investigation urged would result
In capturing killer whales OF the
Alaskan coast and examining their
stomachs to determine the number
of seals recently destroyed. This
would not only give evidence %
the Criminality OF the whales but
will decrease the enemies OF the
seals.
