DAYLIGHT SAVING.
NOT ALL PLAIN SAILING. Australian-N.Z. Cable Association. Sydney, lan. S. Like all innovations the Daylight Saving scheme is not meeting with universal approbation. It came in with a heat wave which continues to lend zest to the growing list of disabilities voiced through newspaper correspondence. While .obeying business behests, there is a distinct disinclination in private life tn recognise the changed clock hours. Housewives and boardiughouse keepers eoiuulnin that diners do not want their evening meal till the coo 1 iollowing the sunset. This spells a longer day and heavier duties for domestic workers. Another disability in the hot climate is that the retiring hour is earlier in heat-soaked houses, which, nowever, are very generally ignored. The result is that people lay abed longer and are robbed of the cool morning hours for ewrcise, while, early morning workers protest that they are compelled to retire before dark. For an hour's working time gained they lose three hours' good Blrip.
