Forget criminations mation the people as a whole, is In position do criticism as it approves thoroughly of getting In that extra hour day- light and, at this stage of the inno- vation, it approved of advancing the clocks as a reminder to forgetful hu- man beings. But we cannot advance displayed clocks, It If we keep our private clocks on day- light saving time then see a clock in some store we will have to guess whether that clock is a “pub- licly displayed clock” and, as such, running on standard time, or whether it is considered a private clock and, as such, running on daylight saving time. There would beé confusion continually. It could not be escaped. We could not be sure, looking at some clock not our own and which was not labelled “Standard Time" or “Daylight Saving Time,” what time it was, within an hour. And labelling all clocks would involve an expense to owners. Moreover, labelling them “Daylight Saving Time" would imply that the owners of such clocks ex- pected the public, those not familiar with the habit of the owner of the clock, to look at it, and the court, might hold, merely because of such labelling, that it was a “publicly dis- played clock.” There is but one way to avoid con- fusion, and that way is to have all clocks run on standard time, whether technically ‘‘publicly displayed” or not. Then those who approve taking advantage of the extra hour of sun- light could advance their working hours as most of us are doing now, and the result would be the same. We would get the benefit of that extra hour. This suggestion is made despite the | fact that this is just what stJn\lard; timers want, They want standard time and they hope that if all clocks are run on standard time people will | 80 to bed and get up at the custom- ary standard time hour.

PBur-Ecole, near the forest of Fon. tainbleau, now are endeavoring to throw the blame on the village priest, and the priest, Abbe Henrl Rotte, ac cording to The Matin, has come for- ward with the admission that he sue~ cumbed to the temptation of selling the statue for 2600 francs, Proceeds For Church He 15 alleged to have said he dis- posed of the statue to ald in ehureh welfare work, hoping the manufac. tured substitute would not be discov- ered by his country parishione The Matin reproduces a written re. pert from the Due de Trevise giving an account of the abbe's statement, in which the abbe tells his desire to build up his struggling chureh, he declaring that now he must make known “the cruel truth,” The priest, according to the statement, said he long had resisted the blandishments af art dealers who sought to secure the original statue, “But little by little,” the statement otes him as having sald, “T found | myself fpvolved without realizing it The dealags, one of whom is unknown to me, urged me strongly. 1 cannot tell how much T regret my error “But let no one see in it exactly a but rather lack of jfudg- misdeed, ment." Sold L The deal ter for 11,000 Francs. concerned, according to The Matin, said they had concealed the whole truth of the transaction out of pity for the priest, but now that he had spoken they would make known their side of the case. M. Melun, an antiquary, who handled the affair, said he had a letter from the priest demanding 8,000 francs for the statue. The priest made it plain that the money was to be used for the church. The antique dealer, however, paid only 2,500 for it, conditional on supplying a substitute, This dealer resold it to a Paris antiquary for 8,- 500 francs, the latter supplying the substitute, which cost him 1,000 francs., The last Paris dealer finaily resold the statue to another person for 14,000 francs. This is as far as the missing statue has been traced. The question of the originality of the statue of the Virgin and the Child in the Church of St. Sauveur-sur- Ecole was brought up last week when an examining magistrate in Paris was instructed to investigate the matter. M. Malgorotto, an expert restorer of statuary, made a deposition to the police inspector that the statue had been brought to his workshop for repairs and that an exact copy of it also had been ordered. When the work was completed the antiquary who ordered the repairs and the copy made took both away, paying Malgor- otto 1,000 franes.
