Perhaps the most convincing argument vet adduced in opposition to the Summer Time Act was that of i little girl of Oamaru, four years of age. She was being put to bed at 7 o’clock, in order that her guardians might spend the evening out. “ Daylight saving is no good to me,” she broke out, as she was lisping her prayer for mamma and dada, and all the kind relatives and friends who are good to h r. “ Why do you say that?” inquired th:> guardian, “Cos I can’t »o to sleep in the light,” she muttered pathetically. Mr. Sidey was not among those for whom -he child invoked a blessing that night, and the guardian has been thinking hard ever since.
