DAYLIGHT SAVING.
When the subject of "daylight saving" was first mentioned in the House of Representatives by Mr J. A. Hanan, it was treated more with levity than seriousness. The novelty of the proposal has now worn off, and athletic bodies and others are disposed to agree that the putting back of the hands of the clock in the summer months would | not only be practicable but very desirable. Very few people would be inconvenienced by starting work at an earlier hour in the morning than at present, whilst the advan- | tages of having an extra hour for I recreation in the evening would be highly appreciated. The one difficulty in the way, so far as New Zealand is concerned, appears to be the matter of the publication in the morning papers of Australian news. This is not a very serious matter when all is said and done. Indeed, there is reason to think that if X' w I Zealand were to lead the way by putting the hands of the clock back for an hour, the Australian Comi monwealth would speedily follow the I example.
