What Editors
Are Saying
DAYLIGHT Saving
(Muncie Evening Press

Another year Mupcie should be
entirely upon daylight saving basis
or conduct all its affairs according to
standard time. With several thou
sand persons now working under the
daylight savings plan and several
thousand others under the old system,
there is much confusion and in some
cases not a little hardship upon the
workers.
AS it now is. those who go to work
an hour earlier in the day and quit
an hour earlier at night may have a
little more daylight for their garden
ing or their automobile riding in the
afternoons, but the stores, banks and
theaters do not operate that way and
no advantage is gained in that par
ticular. Perhaps the chief hardship.
however, comes upon the housewives
who are forced to arise an hour
earlier in the morning than their
neighbors in order to prepare break
fast and who must, perforce, go TO
bed an hour earlier than these same
neighbors at night if the right amount
of sleep is TO be had. Also in cases
where husbands and sons come home
at the lunch hour, that meal must be
prepared an hour earlier than usual
and it is difficult to convince grocery
boys that they should make deliveries
an hour sooner to some families than
to others.

number Of scientific articles have

great danger to man from the ever

there is actual danger of mans being

One reason for the increase in in

Careful Driving

Lafayette Journal and COURIER
Too often we are inclined to laugh
condescendingly or to make fun OF
the extra-careful auto driver who
slows down for every corner, cross
roads and grade crossing. 1t may
seem a waste of time and a useless
precaution to drive slowly and care
fully when apparently there is not
the least hint OF danger.
Yet in one day a collision between
an auto and motorcycle in Toledo.
Ohio, claimed as it's victims one dead
and five. injured; speeding motorists
caused three fatalities at Chicago; one
man was killed in a smash-up near
FIT. Wayne, Ind, and two were killed
instantly at Oakland City, Cal. when
a careless driver tried to beat a train
to a crossing.
This is only part Of one days toll
resulting from careless and fast
driving.
Do not laugh at the careful, slow
driver. The vast increase in the num-
Der of automobiles throughout the
country has created such hazards that
the driver cannot be too careful. Slow
driving and thoughtful slowing down
for corners and for crossings Is not a
sign of fear nor of chicken-hearted-
ness, but is merely proof of the sanity
and wisdom of the safe man at
the wheel.

these are the high spots about the
