Now comes news from the great State | of Massachusetis that three children, aged 14, 12 and 9, have been sentenced to a re- form school because they have refused to alute the American flag. They, too, are members of the sect that does not permit “salutes to flags’ because this represents allegiance to earthly powers. We are not here concerned with the alute. follow the lead of their are misled about a flag as most of us know, parents. sachusetts hardly about. know what it is all They only did what Father and} 'y must do, and here comes the law to tear them from their parents andglap them in a reform school in order to teach them to love the United If there has ever been a more foolish | exhibition of patriotism run amuck we haven't heard of times of peace.

Moreover, what is a flag s without some love of country behind it? DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Maybe we are old-fashioned, but it seems to us that about the silliest proceed- ing that has come into practice in recent years is the adoption of so-called ‘‘day- light saving time” in certain and cities during the summer months. The idea is that we may have more daylight by the simple act of turning clocks ahead an hour from M until September. By this hocus pocus it is assumed that we states should be willing to rise an hour earlier if the hands of the clock point to 7 stead of 6 a. m., the real time ef day:°' Al so to go to work at 8 o’clock under the de- lusion that it is 9; and think we ‘havéebeén real wicked in aiavine up until 1 a. m, when it is really only midnight. But, humans being as gullible as they are, these illusions may seem real te nighy } —and if so, perhaps no harm is done, ex- a.m. in- cept to make a lot of confusion, especially ! | where both daylight and standard are used in nearby communities. Only in two states, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, is there a statewide law requiring the observance of daylight sav- ing time, but such laws or ordinances are observed in many cities.
