that now comes chance to begin

We have recently had the elevat-

former session been fully attended
probably much more information
would have been obtained at that time
and a more illuminating discussion of
the matter then taken up would have
occurred, Such situations are ridic-

reconsider an action which may or

they are wrong because no action by

missing MAN NOT
dead, COURT SAYS
Refuses to Admit Ambrose Small
Is Not Still Alive

Toronto, March 27.-Ambrose Small
wealthy theatrical magnate who has
been missing since December 1919, is
not legally dead, Judge Coatsworth of
the surrogate's court, ruled today.
He dismissed with costs the appli-
cation of Mrs. Small for declaration
that her husband was dead, in order
that the estate might be administered.
Judge Coatsworth said no evidence
had been submitted to him to show
that Small was dead.
The court held that because of ''the
very bitter family feud" between Mrs.
Small and Smalls sisters who opposed
the application it was essential that
action be taken only on reasonably
clear evidence.
The judge added that although he
regarded Mrs. Small as capable
woman and was favorably impressed
by her evidence he felt that he ought
not at present to. decide the matter
finally and give Mrs. Small the ST.
100000 estate.
Men have disappeared" he said
land after lapse of years have re-
appeared and it is possible that this
is one of those cases. There is no out
standing fact proved pointing con-
clusively to his DEATH"
Counsel for Mrs Small were said to
be considering an appeal. Meanwhile
the estate is being administered by
a trust company.
The hearing was featured by an
outburst by Mrs. Small when counsel
for the sisters questioned her regard
Ing unhappy differences with her
over man in 1917" Mrs. |
Small asserted the only difference she
had concerned a woman and that she
had forgiven her husband.

WE WILL USE DAYLIGHT

The directors of the Chamber o.
Commerce. speaking probably witt
the approval of the merchants and
other business interests who would
approve daylight saving" no matter
what the directors said, have gone OF
record in favor of daylight saving
here, as daylight saving will be adopt
ed in other communities not so bound
by what has always been done" that
they refuse to see the sun move in the
heavens, the old, cumbersome things
pass and new, efficient inventions take
their places
The directors also voted against any
interference with or changing OF
clocks but simply approved the start
of business an hour earlier after
April 20.
AS this newspaper has often said
the clocks have nothing at all to do
with the matter except as they are
man-made devices to keep the world
running in some sort of order. 1t
would do just as well to have rule
that persons living on one side of a
street should raise their curtains to a
certain height at night and when the
sunlight struck certain point each
morning they should go to work. But
this would be somewhat impracticable
and would not help the people on the
other side of the street at all. There
fore the clock.
If we were all thoughtful persons
and cared to bother about it, there
would be no necessity for changing
any clocks at ALL After April ga
purely arbitrary date-we would begin
work an hour earlier, together with
all the rest Of the energetic world.
But as there are lot of us who find
it easier to glace at the clock-being
somewhat sleepy, perhaps, and get up
at a certain hour, it has been found
wise to alter this man-made clock by
setting it an hour ahead along about
the time when the sun runs an hour
or so ahead. So We'll do that little
thing, merely to make life more sim
pie and convenient as other people
will be doing the same thing.
The people who are not particular
about time; those who have no espe-
cial work to do and who can run here
and there at any time of the day, do
not care especially about this extra
hour of sunlight in the morning. They
could sleep it away if they want to,
anyway, The people who work hard
all day and have to do those odd jobs
about the house, or play little. in the
daylight, will be happier and stronger
because of this saving of daylight
