DAYLIGHT SAVING.
' [To The Editor.] , Sir, — In answer to "Filius," I ! would say:— "My son, 'Pater' did think before lie wrote; that is why he is against altering the docks. Altering the time on statutes, timetables, etc., will "be necessary if the docks' are to be. altered. If . the hour of starting work is. altered instead of the docks, there will he no v expense in this direction. The world's atlas .will have to he altered every six months to keep New Zealand in accord, with the remainder of the universe. If altered, as proposed, the clock wifl carry on its face a, palpable "lie," which would not be good for the people's morals. If, my dear Films, you can 'save some thousands of pounds' 'by altering the clocks', you are quite at liberty to alter my office clock daily, and keep half the proceeds.— I am, etc., PATER."
