ernoon to defeat any move to un- seat him. Reports of an attempt to oust MT. Kingston have been heard for the past several days.
 The G. O. P. town convention will be held at the Y. M. c. A., be- ginning at 1:30 D. m. Four mem- bers of the state central committee will be chosen, as well as eight Wa terbury delegates to the Republican state convention at Hartford next month.
 J. Warren Upson, who is retiring as town chairman, will be offered another term on the state central committee. Mrs. Lura Dutton and Mrs. Rowley w. Phillips are ex- pected to be reelected.
 The convention delegation from this city will probably include MT. Upson and Vernon Hall, town com- mittee secretary, who is the leading candidate to succeed MT. Upson. Others expected to be named as delegates are Prosecutor Michael J. Galullo, Mrs. William Gerardi and Mrs. Michael J'Anthony.
 The convention will receive a rec- ommendation that the town com- mittee be increased to 32 members, but it was being predicted that no action would be taken on the pro- poSal.

Benjamin Franklin once drew at- tention to the anomaly of burning expensive artificial light in the even- ing while an abundance of free day. light was wasted in the morning by late rising. He added his Poor Richard" maxim in 1759: Early to bed and early to rise, makes man healthy, wealthy and wise."
 But it remained for an English man, William Willett, to become the father of a movement to do some thing about daylight saving. Tn 1907 Willett published a booklst, "The Waste of Daylight in which he claimed that civilization aWoke Tn the morning an hour or so too late in the summer months, and mad too short an evening when it might have a long one for outdoor recre- ation.
 He advocated a more or less com plicated plan for putting the clock back eighty minutes during the spring and summer, and devoted himself and his own finances to campaigning for this in England. He succeeded to the extent of having bill introduced in the House "f Con-
 mons in 1908, but it failed Of pass age, and the idea lay dormant un- til the second year of the World War. Then, nearly every country in Europe adopted the device of turn ing the clock forward an hour dur ing the spring. summer and autumn months, to get people to bed an hour earlier and out of bed an hour earlier to save fuel for light and heat.

Who Invented Daylight Saving? CLARENCE A. HOLDEN, STAFF WRITER
 Waterbury Democrats Washington Service Bureau

Oddly enough, it was not England that took the initiative, put Ger many. The German Federal Coun- Gil on April 6, 1916, passed measuge providing for setting German clocks ahead one hour, thereby etfecting tremendous savings in fuel. Eng land adopted similar measure about month later on May F and within three months, twelve Euro pean countries had followed suit Willett, the father of the iiea, was not alive to sec his cherished plan attain success, having died on March 5, 1915.
 Nova Scotia had the honor of in- troducing Summer Time" to the New World, an the movement was fostered in the United States by the National Daylight Saving Associa- ton, which drafted bill that was introduced in Congress by Senator William M. Calder of New York April IT, 1917. The measure was ap- proved by President Wilson March 19, 1918. Strenuous opposition inn mediately developed, particularly from farmers who claimed that il disrupted their work, and they vowed to adhere to the real as against the sham time" shown by public clocks during the spring sum- mer and autumn months. The op. position finally prevailed, and or August 20, 1919, the Daylight Sav- ing Act was repealed over President Wilson's veto. However, laws estab. fishing daylight saving" have since been adopted in many states and cities.

effort in behalf of the Salvation Army, which, of inestimable value to this organization, represented only a portion of his great labor and accomplishment in the service of Christ in his own parish and in our city at large during 40 years of a full, useful, exemplary life among us.
 Saddened by his passing and loss to us, we are nevertheless inspired by memories of the man and of his good deeds.
 Captain and Mrs. John VanGould, commanding officers of Bristol, will conduct the services tomorrow night at the citadel on Cherry street at 8 o'clock. Adjutant Wiberg and Lieut.. Raymond Smith will occupy the Bris- tol pulpit tomorrow night.
 Adjutant Wiberg recently received word that The Salvation Army in Finland is now working at full stretch to render aid to many of the more than 400, 1000 people who must be settled in new homes and to re-establish the corps activities which were interrupted by war conditions.
 Colonel Hugh Slaoen, the terri torial commander, and Mrs. Sladen have visited the border areas af- fected by the war and the fixing of new frontiers. The evacuees are to be provided for in various towns in Finland, and the Army is assist ing in serving them in whatever way possible.
 Many Salvationists who were liv- ing in Hangoe, Viipuri and other places, have lost all their posses. sions, and must start life again.
 The Training College recom- menced its classes on April 18th, and the War Cry" is once more be- ing printed in the capital. Special efforts are being made to build up the work among the young people.
 It is stressed again and again in dispatches from Finland that l.elp is urgently required to cope with the enormous need among the evac- uated, especially tfose whose health has been shattered and those who have lost all.
