April 20, 1921, To the Editor: Who knows that daylight saving was an economic benefit during the war? It is often asserted been so. but I doubt it. I was in the government service myself for four- teen months and it robbed me of an hour’s sleep each night, thereby tak- ing from my efficiency. It undoubt- edly worked ih the same manner wit?. others besides myself. I have no doubt that there wera more deaths from influenza as a re- sult of lowered vitality among the “victimg” of daylight saving. To whose pleasure does it add? To ; that of the man or woman working easy hours and beginning work mnot later than 8 a. m. To whom is it burdensome, injurious and inconven- ient? To the farmers who must arise in the dim hours of early morning, to the railroad and trolley employes who start their day when all the daylight saving enthusiasts are snug in bed and ,to any and al_men and women who commence work not later than 7 a. m. To be sure, you now and then hear some one who is not obliged to arise early, loudly extolling-the great bene- fits of early rising, but you can also occasionally find someone who enjoys the flavor of green plums or the sweet odor of kerosene. This is one of the most purely sel- fish things that has even been inflict- ed on the people who can't help I recently read some- thing of yours wherein you expressed the opinion that the people who are against daylight saving generous and upselfish and consider the poor things who keep bankers’ hours and let them have a little more time to enjoy themselves. How about the advocates: of daylight saving showing a bit of altruism and unsel- fishness and considering the common “‘critters”” who are forced out to com- mence their labors when all sensible people are more comfortable in bed. | This morning I heard a trolleyman speaking to a lady on his car. She: said something about the early hour (it was then 9:30) and he said “Early, ! do vou call this early? Why, I have ' been up five hours. 1 get up at 4:30." i to have | a flirting clown. law to grant no bail st be put in jail. The'lady said, “What will you do when they have daylight saving Hartford?"* The man said, “Well, I shall have to get up at 3:30 a. m. i But it is no matter if the bankers get ; what they want’’ By bankers, he meant, of course, the men who. work short hours. There it is in a nut shell. It is a measure that has been adopted snd forced upon the people who do the hard, unpleasant work.of the world arising normally at unpleasantly ear- . ly hours to do it, for the sake of the i pleasure and enjoyment of those who have the lightest and easiest work. That it has ever benefited anyone to any great extenmt, ‘aside from giving ; them more pleasures, when they al- | ready had enough, I very much doubt. Lillian Robertson Beardsley. An Explanation.
