Solar Time

Forenoon and afternoon are always
equal, or very nearly so, by the sun +;
they are, at times, far from being
so by the clock. The reason for this
Is that clocks give, not the actual
solar time, but the mean or average
solar time. Noon by the sun Is when
the sun Is due south; that Is to say,
noon by the u is midway or very
nearly midway between sunrise and
sunset. Noon by the clock may occur
as much as one-quarter hour earlier
or later than o o by the sum-, the
difference being known as the eqpa-
ton of time. 1t so happens that when
the days begin to lengthen In De
cember noon by the clock Is growing
relatively earlier at a rapid rates in
other words. is moving toward the
time of sunrise and away from the
time Of sunset: the tendency being

| county agents to make fingeeprints of the accused man were thwarted. The | removal was made at the order of Sher- | if Shirley. No reason was assigned for | the refusal at the hospital to have the required data placed in the hands of the proper officials.
 A lone and injured autoist reported | driving at a rapid rate from Fairfield shortly after o'clock Tuesday morn. | ing has been added to the long list Of clues in the murder. News of the search for the lone autoist was first made known Thurs day afternoon by Major s. B. Dodge chief of the safety department of the Tennessee company. An adequate de- scription of the man is available, detec- tiyes say, and the search will be car ried throughout the state, if need be, Tn order to check this angle to the ever deepening mystery.
 The police at Fairfield and the sheriff's office were at sea Thursday l night over the case. It appears that as the probe goes deeper the confusion increases. The theory of a criminal oper- ation was secuted by members of the Tennessee company medical and surgical department Thursday. It was explained that chlorofOrm was never used by any physician under such conditions. The fact of the autoist having been seen was reported to the hospital authorities Thursday. The informant who is well known, said that he told the police and the sheriff's office of the same facts Tuesday after Dr. Ed wards had been detained at the hos. pital in connection with the murder. Whether this is the intruder which Dr. Edwards claims choloroformed and murdered his wife, remains for police to determine.
 Calls On Edwards
 It also developed that Mir. Whetstone, of Montgomery, who married Mrs. Edwards sister, was the only one of her family to call on the wounded physician. Later MT. Whetstone de- clared that he believed the story that Dr. Edwards told and did not think the physician was involved in the kill ing. He is the only relative-in-law to express such an opinion.
 The denial of Dr. Edwards Thurs day morning that he used narcotics also brought information to those in charge of the case that Dr. Edwards had impressed several patients of a queer ness several weeks ago. They made no statement to authorities at the hos pital. It has been reiterated that Dr. Edwards acted as though he was becom- ing ill, yet his work was checked up the finest point and no criticism could be offered of his actions in that respect.
 The search started by the sheriffs deputies in the back yard of the Edwards home has been fruitless so far. No bullet has been found. In this con- nectioE it was stated Thursday that the opinion is growing that the bullet hole near the window sill which has proven so confusing was enlarged by the in- sertiou of stove poker or other in- Strument.
 Motive Remains Hidden
 The motive behind the crime, which has stirred Jefferson county, remains hidden. From neighbors, Fairfield DO. lice physician friends of Dr. Edwards,
