NOME, ALASKA JULY 29, 1916.
Tin obvious economy of "burning
daylight” mat* ad of artificial light in
the conduct oi human affairs is again
attracting world wide attention
through the action of several Euro
pean nations in adopting daylight
saving measures by the simple expedi
» nt of turning the clock an hour
ahead. Austru-11uiigar> was the first
to adopt the daylight saving scheme
as an economical measure necessitat
'd by the war and has since been fol
lowed b> several ulbers, including
Holland and Sweden, both of which
i vr come to an active recognition
of tin advantages to he obtained un
der the system.
The subject is also being strongly
agitated in Great Britain with an ox
» client prospect that it will he for
mally presented to parliament for dis
cussion.
rl In1 daylight saving scheme is not
a new one h> any means having been
discussed at intervals for centuries.
During the last century the plan was
frequent Iv agitated by enthusiasts
and in a few instances adopted by
municipal corpora lions. At one time,
many years ago, the subject of day
light saving was discussed in the
British house of commons and a bill
enforcing national daylight saving was
passed through the preliminary pro
cesses jof legislation but failed of final
adoption for some unexplained reason.
Except, possibly, in the several in
stances of recent adoption, the scheme
of milling the daylight hours as much
as possible has not been a pronounc
ed success anywhere it has been tried.
Tin failure is not attributable to any
fault or failure of the plan but was
rather due to t lie fact that it was
tried only locally and very naturally
resulted in the development of van
ouh difficulties owing to time varia
tions, all of which tendril to make the
system unpopular.
With one community conducting its
affairs under a different time standard
from that of its neighbors the sys
tem was bound to be more or less
impractical as towns and cities are
usually too closely connected in busi
ness and social relations for time v.i
i lations not to make themselves dis
tinctly felt.
To be really sueessfully the system
must be in effect over a wide area
so that all within the district will In
bound by one time schedule. To reach
its highest measure of success and
achieves the full economical bell, tits it
must be adopted nationally.
It is even to be doubted that its
adoption by states in this country
would be practical. An collective us
well as individual beni-tit would un
doubtedly result within tin borders of
the state but conditions attending
i "inmuiiicntion with oilier slates which
had not adopted the plan would tend
> nullify tin advantages gained.
Then is now, nowever, a growing
tendency throughout the world toward
individual mid corporate economy
n Inch is steadily forcing toward an
adoption ol the sytiiiu by the na
tion and the movement lias been giv
• u all odj t impetus through its ell -
laic no nt by the several Kuropean
nations. Kvcry-vlu it- there are evi
dences that the enforcement of the
daylight saving plan is Icing watched
with great interest and is daily be
• oming looked upon with wider favor,
so much so that its ultimate adoption
by many others is practically assured.
A fuller utilization of the daylight
hours cannot but have a marked ef
fect on the general economy of the
nation. One hour of daylight added
to the day will save many a dollar to
tin individual and the nation during
the course of a year in addition to
producing conditions of inestimable
benefit to the physical being of indi
vidual units. One cannot forget Un
scientific dictum that the hours de
voted to sleep before midnight are of
vastly greater benefit than tlios. fol
lowing:
j If no other results were achieved
j than a general increase of the physi
| cal well being of the people, tile plan
| would be well worth adoption, espe
! • oily as it creates no hardship of any
| character to offset the benefits. It
does not discommode the individaul in
any way to go to hod nn hour earlier
.it night and arise an hour earlier
m the morning and that is all the
scheme consists of.
Now that it is being successfully
« nforced in several instances it ap
|n as the universal adoption is only
a matter of time.
