Street Moor Aooex the sun streaming into his room. His servant had left the shutter open. Digging into history, the f5 tat e-St Trust Company publishes the letter of Franklins, in which he announced his discovery to the people of Paris through the Journal de Paris. The letter Is a feature of "France and New England, Volumne 11, the annual historical publication of tbe State-St Trust Company, by Allan Forbes and Paul F. Cad man.

You surely have, Franklin wrote, "readers who will be as astonished to learn that the sun Is up at so early an hour as they will be to learn that I was up to see it. They will be none the less astonished to hear my assurance that the sun gives Its light so soon as it gets up. This caused me to make several serious reflections. If it had not been for the accident that wakened me on that morning, I probably would have slept six hours longer, during which time the sun would have been shining, consequently, that evening, I would have pessed six hours more by candls light. "This last) manner of lighting is much mote expensive than the first and my taste for economy led me to make use of the little arithmetic which I possess to make some calculations on the subject.

I believe that all reasonable persons who learn through chis letter that there is daylight as soon as the sun gets up will resolve to get up with it, an das for the others, in. order to make them follow the same course, I propose that the Government make the following rules: A ta xof one Louis on every window that has a shutter. Guards at every war and candle shop to prevent any family from using more than pound of candles a week Guards who will arrest every carriage that Is found In the streets after nightfall. Have all the church bells rung at sunrise, and if that is not enough, fire a cannon in every street so as to open the eyes of the lazy to their best IIo, ho, hum! (time out for yawns). Having any.

trouble with daylight-saving time? Too badi we havent old Ben Franklin to help us run on Summer schedule without a hitch. Franklin had daylight saving in his bag of tricks, along with all the other handy devices which won him the title of the first civilized American. It is on record that Franklin "discovered daylight saving 140 years ago. It is also history that he was too wise an old man to try it out on the Massachusetts farmer. He tried it on the French, in whose sophisticated salons he was a popular idol, often at 3 am.

There is no record that he put daylight saving over on the Parisians. But it was not for lack of a sufficiently drastic prescription. Franklin suggested cannonading at dawn in every street, and arrests of every carriage caught out after nightfall. The first two or three days would be the hardest, he assured the French, after which the new way of living would be as natural and as easy as the irregularity in which we now live. If you make a man get up at 4 In the morning, it is more than likely he will go to bed at 8 at night, and he will get up without any trouble at 4 the next morning." Franklin made his reform proposal on the ground of economy, urging that six months of daylight saving would save Paris $20,000,000 in lighting alone.

But it was no mere hour of daylight he would have saved. He was for beginning at dawn. But he confined his suggestion to the city folks. In those days it never occurred to anybody that farmers were not converted to daylight saving. It was sheer accident, Franklin admitted, that led to his discovery of daylight saving.

Going to bed one night at 3 a according to his custom and that of his Parisian friends, he was awakened 'at 6 by a strong light. Amazed, he got up and found OR THIS MAN and his name is legion 1 We carry an extensive assortment of satisfactory variety and satisfying values, in ready-to-wear suits that have been made to our order He wants woolens that look like custom tailored and we have them!

Also the Central Massachusetts went, with the Lexington Branch, to the rail highway of the Fitchburg Division from a point near the brick jards at West Cambridge. For a year the planning and working out of the change of rail highwajs, laying of new tracks, installing swlton-mg devices and building a little new station, called the Fens, where train conductors stop and register tk-fore proceeding on to Boston over the rails of the Fitchburg Division, has been under way.

When Conductor Fox left his home town at Bedford on the Lexington Branch at 4:40, Eastern Standard time, this morning he was making the new adventure with his freight of interested commuters. All eyes were op.n for new scenes when the train left the ancient Lxington Branch line, near Lake st, and proceeded over the restored line across the marshes to the edge of the est Cambridge brickyards, where it halted and the ton duetor registered. Then the trail came onto the Fitchburg Division rail highway and on into the North Station over that line. Commuters on the Patriot, Lexington branch train, all missed and eagerly asked this morning for Conductor Warren Savory, who has run that train for the past eight years Conductor Savory, one of the veterans of the road, was popular with the patrons. He has been transferred to another run.

By the new arrangement one inbound train of the Lexington branch stops at West Cambridge on the Fitchburg Division, but all outbound trains routed for the branch run express either to Lake st or Arlington. The Central Massachusetts trains now leave the old rail highway, near Hill Crossing, and proceed over a new line parallel with the Fitchburg tracks to a point in Wesv. Cambridge behind the old brick yards, where they, too make a Junction with the Fitchburg and proceed over the Fitchburg tracks Into the North Station. On this line two trains outbound stop at Cambridge and je inbound makes the stop. The sections of these two original lines which have pone into disuse, so far as passenger traffic la concerned, depriving North Cambridge, Wait Somerville and Somerville Highlands of all passenger train service, will be maintained, however, for freight traffic.

Tho southern walK of Thetford av has been a favorite coasting place for bicyclists, and despite the fact that many children play there during the day, they are constantly menaced by the sudden appearance of swiftly ridden wheels.
