Of the same law, and the same
servility toward the, clock, we

until It is two hours longer than

Meanwhile the sun keeps on his

Now, am not fitting against

but while I can see popular rea-
sons why things should be as
they. are, yet cannot quite recon
Gle logic with law which makes
me save daylight when 1t is
abundant, and commands me to
stop saving 1t when It becomes
scarce. So, have set down the
facts pictorially, or geometrically,
not so much as an argument-for
I understand that there are mat
ters Of convenience (such as in
disposition to get up in the chill
Of winter sunrise) which initiate
against daylight saving Ia win
ter-but as something very inter-
esting to think about.
This little chart showing the
distribution of day and night in
the two opposite seasons explains
itself. In summer. when we have,
in middle ATTITUDES, about four
teen hours Of daylight against ten
hours Of night, we set set ahead
our watches, SO that We bring
the "eight o'clock breakfast" an
hour nearer to SUNRISE; we make
noon fall at IL a. m. (six hours
from sunrise and eight hours from
sunseD; and we have seven o'clock
dinner" an hour before sunset.
Scanty Daylight
BY continuing this system
through the winter we would
save an hour Of the scanty day
light in the morning by getting
"8 o'clock breakfast at sunrise
while at the other end of the day
we would cut in half the tedious
and practically wasted period OF
waiting between dusk and u
o'clock dinner" by putting the
dinner an hour nearer shutdown.
However, / repeat that am
not really advocating the con-
tinuance Of daylight saving
through the winter, but merely
calling attention to the matter.
Further consideration might make
the objections appear more de-
cisiVe. Let me guard against
pickers up of straws by saying
that have purposely omitted
reference to the effects of the
application of standard time to
fixed localities, which accentuates
some OF the inequalities intro
duced by the daylight saving
plan.

USE CORRECT
STATIONERY
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
Cutaway Coat at Church
Wedding

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Kindly tell me If it is
proper to wear cutaway coat
and dark gray trousers at a
church wedding to be held at
$50 p. m, and also If 1t is
proper for the best man and the
ushers to wear the same.
r. A. H.
Yes-to both questions. But,
as a matter Of fact, one Of the
most difficult hours at which to
have wedding is five-thirty.
1t is fairly late for day wed
ding, and too early for an Cve-
ming wedding. And 1t is always
a problem with everyone con-
nected with the wedding as, well
as with the guests who arc coC.-
ing to the wedding as to just
what kind Of clothes they are
expected to wear.
nEARa MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is this stationery I am
using correct for social letters?
Is a light blue or pink or tan
correct, or is white most ap-
propriate? s. A. A.
Your letter paper is good ex-
cept that Woody, wiggly edge.
l am so sorry that manufactur-
ers insist upon spelling per-
fectly good paper by adding that
unattractive and uninteresting
edge. The color of your paper
is excellent, and the size is good.
especially for your handwriting.
But all this is negatived by this
edge that shows the reader at
once that your taste needs re-
constructing.
White paper is always excel
lent taste. Unless the paper is
an EXPENSIVE, imported kind, it
is dangerous to choose light blue
or tan. And, no matter how fine
the quality, don't ever choose
pink-that is taboo.
An Occasion For Full Dress
TEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
IL What kind Of suit does the
best man wear at wedding II
the ushers wear Tuxedos and
the groom wears a full dress
suit? n. n:
Since the best man stands with
the groom, it is better for him
to wear the same kind OF attire
that the groom wears; in this
case, full dress.
Mrs. Beeckman will he glad to
answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.)

Most bachelors go through life
in the serene belief that their
single blessedness is due to good
management instead Of to good
/ luck and never knowing how near
several women came to marrying
them.
Getting married is as easy as
making the first payment on the
Rolls Royce; the thought Of the
bill-collector and the upkeep never
bothers you until after the first
blowout.
AS long as she can see through
either lens, a woman goes through
life looking for the Ideal Lover
and the Perfect Romance.
Why is it that, when a man
wants q truly feminine woman"
he always picks out the kind that
spends her gtrlhood IN oVerWork'

graph, is living up to an idealized
one.
The stunned sensation two
people have after a divorce is
akin to that dazed feeling, with
which you pick yourself up, after
you've been graZed by taxicab
and discover that you're not dead.
A woman. like a flower, must
be fresh, sweet and beautiful
but man fancies that, like a
dollar-bill, he will always be
loved for his real worth, no mat
ter how old and battered he may
be.
OF all sad words of tongue or
pen, the saddest are these-"I
might be drawing alimony, now,
II / hadn't married again!"
A mans love is not quite
dead, until he begins to pride
himself on being patient and
magnanimous" toward a woman's
shortcomings.

BAUM GETS A PLACE
ON FIGHT CARD HERE

Charlie Baum of Baltimore and
Washington has been added to the
card being arranged for the National
Capital Sporting Clubs next show on
May 10. Baum is well known in local
fistic circles and usually appears here
in main bouts. He won his last start
at the Washington Barracks from
Jack Turner on a foul.
Baum will go in an eight-round
contest with an opponent yet to be
named. Rene De Fos, Belgian middle
weight champion, is to appear in a
second eight-round preliminary to the
main bout, in which Edouard Mascart,
French featherweight, meets Mick
Travers.
Mascart has been in America only a
month but that he is a better man
than his first appearances here might
indicate is proved by his record of 40
knockouts in so bouts during the past
four years.
However, fans who have seen Micky
Travers in action are willing to bet
that the American Will take the game
little Frenchman into camp. Travers
is working out in New York and will
arrive here Sunday.

No one anticipated the illness of

be a question whether the Babe will

solution of the Yankee problem has
not been reached by putting Wan
ninger at short.
Clever he may be, but he is not the
kind of tonic that will give the Yanks
new thrills. A mighty good move prob
ably would be to put Aaron Ward at
short and find a new second baseman.
Ward would team up we'll with Joe
Dugan, and If a high grade second
baseman could be put into the lineup.

of course it would not be easy TO
get second baseman right off the
reel t4at would compare with Ward,
but the combination of Ward and
Dugan on the third base side of the
intield might prove one of the fastest
in all base ball and give the team
renewed vigor. Ward is a natural
player on the left side of the field
and he is so willing to go in there
that the change could be made on a
half hours notice without upsetting
him.
Another position which the Yanks
have fortified, but should fortify
more, is first base. They carry Gehrig
as an extra first baseman, because
no club will waiYe him out of the
ball player, but he will have to travel
many weary mile down the pike

In the National League. and possibly
the best one in base ball at the mo-

The Yanks were a little nearer the
"age of discretion''-one hates to call
1t senility-this Spring than most
people imagined. And that's the
canker that eats within-not a con-
dition of rebellion or riot.
