There is a practical side to this
question, National Geographic So
ciety bulletin points out, in the

their calendar instead of turning
their watches an hour ahead.
Tuesdays News ON Monday.
when the Army flyers hurdled the
date line millions who are oblivious
to the sailings of ships were await
ing news of the aviators. Many folk
had their first concrete intimation
that two days can exist in the world
at the same time-that one may read
in an afternoon Washington newspa-
per accounts of what has already oc-
-
or Tuesday, morning!
"A moments consideration will
show why your calendar and your
watch never are accurate from the
standpoint of our basic time compu-
tation-that Is, they don't conform
exactly to the earth's annual trip
around the sun or the earth's daily
spin on her own axis.
"Paradoxically, if every one kept
time in exact accord with the seasons
and with the sunrise, such time would
not be of much use. Your time would
be accurate enough, but nobody else,
unless he was precisely in the same
Longitude, would agree with you.
Watch Is Always Wrong.
IF you then took a twenty-hour
train from New York to Chicago you
would have to indulge in conside rable
mathematical calculation to tell your
Chicago friend what time by his
watch to meet you. Even in much
shorter distances, where accurate tim
ing was necessary, say in a CROSS
country marathon run, the time diff
ference between the watch of the
starter and that of the finish timer
would have to be calculated before
the runners records could be deter
mined.
1.-The troubles of the traveller in
alternating between daylight saving
time and standard time in the sum-
mer, which only requires an adjust
ment of an hour, would be simple
compared to the chaos if everybody
kept accurate solar time
IF everybody stayed home and had
only news of his own locality the
hour lines would not be necessary; if
everybody concerned himself only
with his own continent the date line
would not be needed.
However, many people actually are
travelling around the world. many
more are sending messages . half

When Shall Day Begin.
Consider how this makes necessary
an arbitrary day line. just as gofn &
from New York to Chicago makes
necessary an arbitrary hour line.
ut is midnight on the opposite side
of the globe when it is noon where
you are. Suppose you are in Wash
ington at the one minute of midday
on Thursday. At your antipodes,
roughly Rangoon. Burma, it is one
minute of midnight, Thursday. AS
your watch passes the noon hour in
Washington it becomes one minute
past midnight in Rangoon-that is,
the first minute of a new day for
that place.
Now imagine yourself at Washing
/ ton and consider that, by some magic
means, you travelled instantaneouSly
east to the antipodes point, at Ran
COON. changing your watch one hour
for every fifteen degrees, because
every fifteen degrees marks an hour
line. Should you thus travel east
ward, hour by hour, until you ap-
preached Rangoon at one minute of
midni ght--the last minute of the day
you started. Now take the imaginary
journey westward, moving your watch
hands backward+that is, to II, 10.
approach Rangoon at one minute
after midnight-the first minute of
the same day you started! You would
find Rangoon in the anomalous Situ-
alton of being equally entitled to two
times, from the Washington point of
view, twenty-four hours apart!
On Greenwich Meridian.
'Tt so happens that our time ac-
tuaIly is based on the Greenwich me-
ridian, and the antipodes meridian Of
the Greenwich longitudinal line is in
the middle of the Pacific. That then
becomes the logical adjustment line,
and so has been designated the inter-
national date line. Incidentally, jump
ing a day in midocean confuses only the
few people who cross this line in steam
ers And they have plenty Of time to
figure out how they lost, or gained, a
day.
New days are born, then, along the
line in space exactly on the opposite
side of the earth from the sun when
the date line passes. The first second
of Monday is ticked off between the
samoan and Fiji Islands as the master
clock at Greenwich ticks the first
second past noon on Sunday. This is
