DaylightSaving lime Again To the people, like ourselves, who live in the country, this is just a re- minder that daylight saving time is in force again in, Toronto and some of the other larger cities, and that I many smaller cities and larger towns Will be following their . ex- ample during this present month. That meansthat if you are driv- ing down to Toronto from your home county,' you are going to lose an hour on the road some place. If you have a blowout or other car trouble, you will probably ' lose two or three. .. -- ... If you want to reach Toronto by noon, you.�will have to start an hour earlier. If you want to be home again by six o'clock, don't forget that you will be back an hour too soon, if you use Toronto time when you are making your getaway. And don'.t imagine you are driv- ing a wonder car when you make the run home in two hours instead of three. Don't blowto your friends about your speed and your car. It might set •a bad example . to t h e young, and the youg - in your family, ' or in the famil of nyone else, don't need any new spe re- cords to follow. Jut remember that the speed is in the clocks and not in the car. . And remember . that if you are coming home by train, Toronto' time will give you arL extra hour to wait in the Union Station. And if fou want to hear Jim Hunter come over the air you will. have to be home at half -past five; which is not so easy, is it? But you won't have to get out of :bed to hear. The 'Globe broadcast. It will be at ten. o'clock hereafter, and •that ' will help some if that paper would go back to some one like old. "Good Ev- ening, Friends," to tell us the tales of land and sea. Altogether, this daylight saving . time is a bit confusing to us up h re in the country. The. habits of a life tame are hard to overcome. Getting up and going to bed with sun gives us.plenty ,of daylight. We would not know what to do with an extra hour and itould not work in either. 'There would be too much dew in the morning and too much daylight left at the close of the day. However, the inhabitants of a city are a queer race. If they want day- light saving, that is their business, and we should not complain. But just remember when you visit them, that if they don't succeed in taking anything else from you, they are go- ing to steal an hour of your time. • Reducing the Railwap Fares The Canadian railways have made the announcement that on and after June 1st, railway passen.ger fares will be reduced by thirteen per cent. In addition, there will be .a„ reduction in, parlor and sleeping car rates, and return tickets will be good for six months, instead of thirty days. That will be welcome news to the travelling public, as well as a wise, if delayed, move on the part of the railways. For some years past the railways have been pretty much a law unto - themselves. They have been :operating on a take-it-or-le'ave- rt,ba is with the result that rail tray- 1,, raylt, once so heavy and popular, !frilled Until it almost reached the Vani hang point. Cors '• the motor car has had >n t with th shrinking i' T taken by the Trailways haq had much more. Instead of trying : td coMpete or even recognizing the motor car, the railwa s have ignored the motor car entirely. Even worse, their in- difference haspractically farmed the pas'senge'r traffic out of the coaches into the cars. That attitude of the railways may have been all right in boom times. But boom days are over . and has been for a considerable length of time. People want something for. their money. In fact, they insist on it, and if the railways will not meet them in some measure,, they will not _ patronize ..them, and . for several years that has been the people's. at- titude. That even yet it is not too late to make a change has been amply prov- en in the past year or so. , During that time the railways have gone back to their once so popular excur- sion trains, ' and have added one cent a mile week -end trips. The response of the public to these innovations was so immediate and liberal that it must have opened the eyes of railway officials and made them see the light. They may not have made a fortune out of these ex- cursions and week -end rates, but they certainly did not lose any more money ' on them than they would have lost by running the same trains empty, as they had been doing for some considerable time before. In addition, these low fares have made the travelling public . again train conscious. Taking everything into consideration, railway; ' travel, at a price, is cheaperthan motor travel, and with proper train service, would certainly be more convenient, at least for business purposes. The public knows these things and given the.. chance they will appreciate them as well as taking advantage of them. • Believe In Sport The British, as a nation, believe in ' sport. If that fact has ever beer - questioned, we would say that it re- ceived, an affirmative answer on Sat- urday. last. • .. • On that day, it is reported, that 93,000 peopl'e paid admission at Wembley Stadium, near London, to see the finals for 'the English Cup played between the two football teams of Arsenal,, London, and Shef- field United from ' the northern boun- dary. To transport the enormous crowds of outside ".enthusiasts,' the railway companies ran one hundred and thirty special trains to London, and 'these were scarcely enough, it is said. The lot of the Briton, since the war, has not been a bed of roses, but ...he is not downhearted, and never has• been. Nor has he ever lost his enthusiam' for sport. Perhaps that is what has given him such a long lead in the race to get out from under the depression. At any rate, this love of sport does not, seem to have impeded his pro- gress in the race for material things. What Is The Matter With It? The other day the Toronto Globe said: "The Stratford Beacon -Her- ald Confesses that it resolved some time ago•to make no more complaints about the weather. Now it is appar- ent the weather ignored this, gesture of ;good -will. The Beacon -Herald is justified in exclaiming, "Bah !" Well, what is the matter with the weather? The winds have been fairly warm this week and the sun has been out. The trees are out in bud and the farmers are out on the land, The ground is drying out andthe plough- ing is good, . and the - weather just -suits the horses and the seed beds are said to be prime. Why, then, complain about the weather when wehave had so much worse, and so much more of it for the past few months? Of course this is only the second day of the week, but --even at that, it is away ahead of last week, so why complain? What does the weatherman care about "Bah!" . or any other corn.. plaint? So -what is the use of get- ting het up about it? The weather has '.o S te>r� been better, er �'ekn. know, but �: f. s it has often been worse. too.
