"Saving Daylight" Means Saving Coal.

It is estimated that 1,500,000 tons of coal, needlessly burned, would now be available for use if the turn-the-clock-ahead bill, of which Senator Calder is sponsor, had been passed in time to have been in operation during the spring and summer months of 1917. The estimate is that of the United States Chamber of Commerce, based on Daylight saving being in effect "only for the shortest period that has been suggested and at a time when there is least need for artificial heat and light."

It is a good measure for peace as well as in time of war. The overshadowing reason for its adoption at this time is that it will result in saving for next winter coal which otherwise will be needlessly used earlier. Just now Americans everywhere are in good position to understand what that Means. --New York Herald.
