What Daylight Savings Has Accom-| pHshcd, (\\y John Anson Ford, in the August Popular Mechanics Magaxlne.) in n single day the personal habits of 100,000,<??>() people were radically changed by the passing of the day-! light saving law, and that change has greatly boncflted the nation's health.. j promoted gardening on an unprece? dented scale, and has conserved gre.it I quantities of fuel through the use of less artificial light. Householders have been among those who have en? joyed the most marked reduction in lighting bills. An Illinois county seat In which are ?;?i meters, Installed In homes and small Stores, furnishes figures which probably can he taken as typical of thousands of American communities. In April, lf!7, the current used was 23,606 kw-hr., and in April, 191?, 21,942 kw.-hr? making a saving of I, 664 kw-hr. The consumption for May last year and this year was 21,672 kw.-hr. and 19,934 kw.-hr., respec? tively, making a slightly larger de? crease than for April, while In June, preliminary estimates showed, the saving In lighting current would be very much greater. In the plant sup? plying this town, approximately ii 1 lh. of Illinois coal is consumed in making l kw.-hr. of electricity, Esti? mating the average monthly saving of tiie community at l.sOu kw.-hr., an added hour of daylight for seven month*; theoretically will effect a sav? ing of more than -Ii tons of coal. If, as si "ins altogether probable, thou? sands of other communities have made a similar record, the total saving Is enormous. in large office buildings the saving j has h?- n. ami will he, small during tiie period Of changed time because I practically all the oiHccs are empty before , the hour of darkness arrives. On the other hand, clubs, Hotels, etc., have experienced a saving in artificial light estimated at four or live per cent. In one nationally known hotel the daily average of current used dur? ing April, 1917, was 3,451 kw.-hr. OS compared with ::.<><;7 kw.-hr. in April, 1!?1S, while the daily averages for May of last year and this were ::,3:i0 kw. hr. and 2,920 kw.-hr.. respectively. Afl In Other plants during these war times, a considerable part o' the sav? ing Is not due to the change of time nue. but to greater care In using lights and to the installation of small? er tamps, etc. Making allowance for these factors, the dally saving In this hotel on account of the change of time will average as much as 170 kw. 11111 KMMBMBWWPJ?MMWWK.^I|IP<aPMII .I'BIlt lir. In the seven-month period theo retlcally this hotel will have 71 tons ot COal, approximately four pounds of fuel being required to produce 1 kw. hr. of current. The chief executive of n large group of public utility companies which nor? mally spend $.*?(>.Ooo.uoo a year on ex? tensions and improvements, estimates that the now time schedule has caus? ed q three or four per cent reduction in the amount of lighting current supplied by his companies. What this would actually amount to in terms of coal was not stated. Early in the spring this public utility expert advo c ;'d the adoption of the new time : do dale for tin: entire year, believing that it would be a public benetit. The fuel administration has also argued for the extension of the plan to in? clude the winter months. Hut more recently the expert referred to has changed his attitude, dot hiring that figures obtained from his engineers show such discrepancies that he is un certaln as to what heneilt, if any, would result from a winter day-light saving schedule. The change of time has been a big factor in increasing gardening In towns and cities. Thousands of fac? tory employes in industrial centers are able to raise produce for the first time. The bathing beaches, parks, and other outdoor recreation centers have had big increases in patronage, j The head of the Chicago Health De? partment says that the present season shows a big decrease in that city, nnd he attributes much of the improve? ment to daylight saving. The consensus seems to be that as a fuel-saving measure, as well as from the standopiqrt of health and increased food production, the day? light saving plan has been highly suc? cess! ul. Estimates given out by the Fuel Administration state that the plan will effect a saving in this coun? try of 1,"00,000 to 1,500,000 tons of coal. strike IX ATLANTA.
