Saving DAYLIGHT"
IN WINTER

The Springfield epubl lean
pauses TO lament that the one hour
of daylight saving in summer is
modest saving in comparison with
what we might save. In June and
a part Of July, the astronomer on
h staff of that paper disCloses.
"it would be possible to set the
clock three hours ahead and still
enjoy sunrise as early as we now
enjoy It in December"
Here is how the astronomer fig
ures it:
"Thc maximum difference
between the amount of day
light in summer and winter is
nearly IA hours. The longest
day embraces Is hours ~ min
utes between sunrise and sun
set. The shortest day is but
six minutes above nine hours"
Naturally, to Save daylight" in
winter under such circumstances
seems fantastic. There simply isn't
enough daylight to save, Going into
detail, the astronomical journalist
proves 1t in this fashion;
an December the longest
day is nine hours and Fl min
utes, and for three weeks Of
the month the day is nine
hours and 10 minutes or less.
In December and January for
the longitude Of Boston the
sun rises on very few days
earlier than I o'clock or later,
Throughout December the sun
sets as early rs Az and never
later than 4.22. If the clocks
were kept one hour fast in this
month the sun would rise as
late some mornings as SIS
vet even at the latest it would
set at 5.22 p. M"
The discussion was preCipltated
by the claim of an anti-daylight
saving journal that If daylight say.
ing were justifablo in summer II
would he equally justifiable in win
ter. As the astronomer Journalist
proves. clocks could be turned for
ward three hours in the middle Of
summer and there would be ne
need to Ect up before sunrise.
Farmers, who uniformly Oppose
the daylight saving plan in urbar
communities, in practice are 81
fond Of daylight that In the sum

THE CITY ELECTION
SIX MONTHS HENCE

II is not too early to begin specu-
lating regarding the city election six
months from now. Epecially is It
sign of the coming political upheaval
when we read that the Democratic
city organization has leased It's
headquarters. the faithful have pro-
vided financial support, and there
is the likelihood that there will be
plenty OF the wherewithal to put on
q snappy campaign.
The state may be safely Repub-
lean" due to the large number of
small towns who make up the bulk
Of the strength in this party. But
city affair is different. The Demo-
Gratis are alive and hearty In the
larger cities, and In New Britain
they have shown themselves capa-
BILE Of victory, seeing that Mayor
Paonessa has had two terms. Ac-
cording 10 the declarations bruited
about, he can have a third term If
ting him clip as a candidate to sue
coed himself Is concerned. His ad-
ministrations have been marked
improvement over some OF those
that preceded him in Office and the
Democratic at least make no mis-
take when they regard him as a
strong candidate for a third term.
However, the mayor did not desire
to be a candidate year and half
ago and it is questioned II he wants
TO be one now; but as he was in
duced to change his mind the last
time a similar inducement may
again result In his throwing his
fedora into the ring.
Although this city, taken by and
large. is quite Republican, citizens
have the habit Of thinking indie
pendently in city election and are
inclined TO think we'll Of meritorious
service This Is the strong point OF
the mayor. lie Is not a prospec-
lively good mayor but has been a
good mayor; he can point 10 his
record and this will sway many
votes in his favor. The Republicans
are not so we'll off in the selection
of mayoralty timber although there
il many Il man in the ranks of the
party who no doubt would make an
excellent chief magistrate. The
trouble with the Republicans, how
ever, has been that tho strongest
men in the party have not always
been placed before tho electors. il

preaching election gels nearer, that
there is loss wirr pulling and ambi.
