A great many things have been blamed on war, but those who are opposed to daylight saving time be. lieve that is the greatest piece of contusion left in the wake of the last Great War. Daylight saving time was adopted in Britain during the last war, in the spring. sum. mer and early autumn months. in an effort to save fuel ordinarily used in heating or lighting. The encyclopaedia Britannica says that "in the second year of the Great War nearly every country in Ear. ope adopted the device ot putting the clock forward one hour during the spring and summer and auto umn months. The motive was to get the people to bed an hour ear- lier and out ot bed an hour earlier. to save fuel tof lighting and heat- ing.” As A War Measure "Summer Time" Came Into Force In Britain In 1917 How Daylight Saving Began Hitler's war mar'hiné.

The present wells were pro- ducing a limited supply ot 26,000 barrels ot high grade oil a day, but that couldceasiiy be stepped up to M,000, "Distribution is the main prob- lem," he declared. "The Govern- ment is interested. especially since the high exchange rates with the Buited States came into force after the start of the war.

If the presence " live ducks on the refuges provided is to be in- sured, hunting must be kept with- in safe limits. Because the flocks are increasing does not mean that the waterfowl question is solved. If for two seasons the guns claim more than the annual increase, we will be right back where we ms; 1:4 The answer lies in two direc- tions: the establishment of refu- ges and the curtailment of shoot- ing through regulation. Howard Zahniser, of the United States Bu- reau of Biological Survey, is in- clined to place the enforcement of regulations above sanctuaries. This, from one of the United States recognized waterfowl ex- perts, has real significance in view of the demand forwarded by some duck hunters that greater liber- ties be taken with regulations as there are again enough ducks to warrant increased shooting. Ducks Produce Ducks In answer to the hunters' plea of increased fioeks, Zahniset ad- mits more ducks wing north now that a few years ago, but points out that there are still fewer wa- terfowl than 10 years ago, and there were not many then. cover 4,000,000 acres of waterfowl re- fuges have been acquired by the Survey during the last four years. This should be increased by at least 7,500,000 acres, Zahniser avers, to achieve the minimum re- quirement for waterfowl.

An important factor in has im. provement has been the carcass grading service, inaugurated In the year 1934 as exemplified by the ae. celerated increase in desirable grades made during the past year. when this system ot grading reach. ed considerable proportions.

These figures refer to live grad. ings, and the smaller number of hogs shown tor 1938 is due to the tact that 1.305.324 hogs Were grad- ed " carcasses in that year.
