TIME BADLY MIXED “What time is it?” Better not believe the trusty wrist watch or the family alarm clock. 7 America —particularily the eastern half —is so badly tangled about its time that nothing short of legislation by congress can unravel the snarl. Daylight saving has plunged everybody into confusion. Clocks are different. Time-tables are worse puzzles than ever. Traveling, you reach your destination earlier than you leave a distant point of departure; and returning, it takes you two hours to travel for an hour! Different systems of daylight saving are in use. There is no co-ordination. Some cities have moved their clocks ahead. Others have refused. East of the Mississippi river is central standard time, eastern standard time, daylight saving time —and even old-fashioned sun time in some rock-ribbed rural districts. Farmer and city man are at war over the issue. Farmers want the old standard time; city dwellers want an extra hour of daylight in the summer. One hundred and thirty-seven cities in 16 different states, and one entire state —Massachusetts —have adopted daylight saving. Country-wide daylight saving —which means putting the clock ahead one hour during the “summer” months from the end of April to the end of September -is the ultimate aim of three national organizations. A month ago Omaha had the same time as Chicago, one hour slower than New York. New Chicago and Philadephia alike are aft hour slower than New York, while Omaha is an hour slower than Chicago and two hours slower than New York. Columbus and Detroit are in a line, north and south. Yet each has a different time! Columbus moved ahead an hour and Detroit didn’t. This confusing melange of times —many of which have little j to do with the customary stand- i ards of sun and geography—is ■ compiled from reports flowing, the office of John R. Young, [ secretary of the Eastern Zone; Daylight Saving association. “Daylight saving is one war measure that unfortunately did-

n’t hold over,” says Young. | “Congress passed the Calder billl in 1917. Great Britain and France still have daylight saving ( —but we repealed our measure in 1919. * ‘ “President Wilson vetoed the agricultural appropriations bill in 1919 because it contained that provision for repealing daylight . saving. And congress passed it over his veto August 20, 1919. “Opposition to daylight saving ' in national and state legislatures < is due to the time-honored super- i stition of the power of the 1 farhier vote.” (Young calls the farmers the ’ biggest factor against daylight i savings. Reports are that some light companies and motion pic- ' ture exhibitors are against it because of decreased revenues. Secretary Young points significantly to Connecticut, where there is serious confusion and bitterness . because the state < legislature positively forbade < daylight saving. $ “One group of Connecticut s farmers,” said Young, “frankly proclaimed that they are against daylight saving because it en- 1 ables too many amateur garden- I ers t° raise vegetables—which I hiirts trade!” —o „ I WHY NOT TELL VS? Hardly a week passes but we I bump into some Syracuse citizen I who asks: "Why didn’t you have I something in the paper about I So-and-So; I thought everybody I knew about it.” And that's I where they make a mistake. The thing you hear may be a long time getting to the editor. You I may think it is common talk I when, in fact, not more than a half-dozen know anything about it. So don’t think the editor is a mind-reader, or that he has away of finding out news without people telling it to him. March right up or call up and tell him that which you have I heard, and which you believe I i would interest others when they | see it in the paper. It takes b’.'t I a few seconds, and it will help I i wonderfully to make the very | i kind of paper you want printed I lin your home town. Don’t wait | I until the paper has come out to . J tell him the things that are news < ,to you. Practice that modern ; ' slogan: “Do It Now.” < o ; Subscribe to The Journal NOW. ;

BREMEN BEAUTY Three of the eight girls chosen by Howard Chandler Christy, the famous New York artist, to appear in the beauty section of the 1922 Illio, the student y€ar book issued at the University of' Illinois at Champaign, by the junior class, are Indiana girls. They are Miss Olivia Schad of Indianapolis, Miss Ruth Dietrich of Bremen and Miss Marie Boyle of Atwood. Miss Dietrich was marked first in the choice made by’Mr. Christy. In all, seventytwo women students at the university submitted their pictures in the contest. The pictures were numbered and sent to Mr. Christy, and he made his choice , without knowing who the girls were. o HOW PRINTERS GROW The kind of boy who makes a I good printer is the sort who be- ■ gins t° loaf around the printi shop on press days as soon as he I starts to school.

who feels honored when he is told to bring in a bucket of fresh water, and he would trade his jack-knife and a tin whistle any day for the privilege'of “kicking off” a hundred dodgers on the old foot press. Byand-by, ' refusing to be cha£6d off and stay chased, he is sweeping the floor mornings and running errands, such as going to the store after a left-handed monkey wrench or to the furniture store to ask for the return of the paper stretcher. Later he learns to recognize type lice and wash the rollers, sorts p’s and q’s out of the hell box, and so progresses to the point where We is on the pay roll to the amount of $1 I every Saturday afternoon and says “our paper” when speaking of the “Weekly Gimlet.” Such a boy is the only kind that ever grows up to be a real printer.— (Sidney, Neb., Telegraph. o —— ENVOY HARVEY ERRS We do not know where Am-
