Daylight Saving Within a few weeps, the questi°n of (leyllght saving will probably once more become the subject of more or less heated debate in witch business hien. city fathers, farmers with .cows to milk, mothers with children 4t: school age to look atter, and Last but not least, railroads with time tables to print and trains to run if possible, to the minute, will demand to Itave their .say. The advocates for dayIigbt saving will ;alit out that in England the economy in coal eonstunptton ef- fected by daylight saving during the summer months amounted to 2,e00; 000, whereas the dairy farmers of the middle -vest protest that the morning dews and the natural milking time :for caws cannot be regulated by clock. while in that North-West, where the :umurer noun sbines eighteen or twenv ty hour, a day the nrottler of seven children wishes to ;'inkiness that the daarkness and the hear for bed time came twice as•oo d lasted ii n tw c i( ais long—whet she wants is a dark- ness -saving law. The demand for daylight saving. however, is most insistent iu Eastern fife another. thus introdueing a -bine at variance with the theoretical titn(t of that zone, The contention of the railways is that time amulet be elranged only at the points at the ter- mini of trate dlepatching districts wizen train (Tows are relieved.

New it is noticeable that the de - mi for adoption or daylight saving time by the larger towns and cities is alnne t exclusively confined to tester/1. Canada. New England States tend the City of New toric.

Canada and the Eastern States and for every insistent demand there is usually a real reason. The reason ap- parently is that the so-called standard. time in force in the area in question varies considerably from the mean sun time upon which the actual Iength and intensity of daylight .is based. Standard time is 'a convenient artifice established in order to secure uniform time for neighboring communities Or places. The sun ;is travelling from East to West and the noon hour origin- ally travelled with it, but it was found advisable to fix definite areas in which the noon hour and other Itaurs should remain the same for the convenience of the operation of railroads and tele- graphs and the transaction of business wherein contracts involved definite time limits:'' The situation was complicated, par- ticularly in the Eastern States and Canada, by the railways themselves, where in actual .practice it Was ' found necessary to lix the tune -breaking zones at terminals or division points. As branch lines have been construct- ed, the -carriers have extended on these the standard time observed at the Junction point or Talion the `main line. There are rinstances where the branch ,lines radiate out of one zone tic should belon to the Atlantic Time 'Lone, • and if This time were rein- stated einstated there would be little or no call for daylight saving. now. The rail- ways have carried Eastern time too far east, and the States and Provinces and Municipalities which have adapted the same time for the sake of uni- formityare realizing that this does not correspond with natural time, On the railways, Eastern standard time is carried from Gaspe, in Eastern Que- bec, to Fort William, in Ontario, a dis tanee of 25 degrees, or 1,200 miles, in- stead of the 711,70 miles of 15 de- grees. ! On eastern stardard time as at pre- sent maintained in New England and Quebec the sun rises from May to September two or three hours before the average person is about in the morning, and sets at an equally unser- ; viceable hour. Hence the natural de- mand for daylight saving legislation in these parts. If New England,' Que- .� bee and the Maritime Province -were' to adopt Atlantis standard time, arhich is their 'natural 'specific time, they would save Hundreds of thousands of dollars all the year round for fuel and light, and incidentally the agitation for daylight saving would be buried in oblivion. „ E.
