I Daylight Saving.
I Daylight Saving. The report of the Home Office Com- mittee on Summer Time was issued on Monday as a White Paper. The Committee unanimously recommend that summer time should be renewed this year and in subsequent years, and that the period of its operation should be from the second Sunday in April to the third Sunday in September each year, the variation from normal time to be one hour throughout the whole period. Referring to the question of the loss of sleep by children through summer- time, the Committee stated that while in a certain number of districts a ten- dency to shortened sleeping hours has been notified,the fears entertained have not in the main been justified.
The -Food Crisis.-
The Food Crisis. DRASTIC REGULATIONS COMING. The Central News political corres- pondent says:—Decisions of the most far-reaching character affecting the prices and distribution of certain essen- tia! commodities of daily life are in process of being taken by the Food Controller. It is perhaps undesirable to say more at the moment than that Tea, Cocoa. Sugar, Cheese, Coffee, Potatoes, are involved. Apart from the contro- versies between dealers, retailers, and consumers—and, in the case of potato producers, over prices—the question of ensuring that stocks are available at suitable points for equitable distri- bution as they are required and in quan- tities that will ensure a properly safe- guarded conservation of supplies, demands instant attention. I am in a position to say that where necessary the regulations about to be announced will be both rapid and drastic in their application.
Scene in a Chapel.
Scene in a Chapel. There was an unusual scene at the High Street Baptist Chapel, Merthyr, on Sunday evening, during a sermon by the pastor, the Rev. J. Arthur Jones, on the question of food economy. The church, one of the largest in the town, was well filled, the pastor having previously announced his intention, in response to request, to deliver for the second time his sermon on economy. He first dealt with the question of saving money, and then said a large number of people lived very extrava- gantly in the matter of food. In his own household, expenses in the matter of food had not increased over and above that prior to the outbreak of the war. Thereupon a lady member of the church interjected the remark that the pastor must have lived very extrava- gantly before the war. She could not understand how he could do it, seeing that prices had gone up so much. She would like hiih to give her a little infor- mation on the matter, especially as the grocery bills had gone up 150 per cent. This interruption caused some com- motion among the members of the con- gregation. The pastor, in reply, asserted that what he had stated was a fact. He added that Baptist ministers did not receive suiffcient to live extrava- gantly. A moment later the same lady took exception to a further statement, for she again interrupted, remarking, Take, for instance, the price of butter, sugar, and other groceries, and see how they have gone up." The pastor said he was prepared to argue the question after the service was over, but for the time being he desired his congregaton to listen to him. The service then proceeded without further interruption.

Tractors Night Ploughing.…
Tractors Night Ploughing. The appeal made by the Director- General of Food Production, Mr. Arthur Lee, for speeding up work on the land by Sunday labour, is said to be meeting everywhere with fine re- sponse. Last Sunday in many parts of the country was the first Sunday on which a plough has been seen at work. At a village in Buckinghamshire a Press representative found one hard at work turning up the fresh brown earth four broad furrows at a sweep. This parti- cular plough was harnessed to one of the new motor tractors, and is the first to be used in a practical demonstration of the possibility and the value of the night ploughing which will have to be undertaken in speeding up the tilling of the land for this year' s harvest. It was manned by two persons, a mechanic at the wheel of the tractor, and a gentle- man volunteer seated on the plough behind to guide it. Lit up for the night's work, all that was provided was a powerful motor-car acetylene head- light. It was a picturesque sight, this ploughing of the land in the gathering darkness. We find no difficulty what- ever in night ploughing," the owner of the farm said. On moonlight nights artificial light is quite unnecessary."
"Saved from Damnation."
"Saved from Damnation." ARCHDEACON'S EXTRA- ORDINARY SPEECH. An extraordinary speech was delivered by Archdeacon Wakeford, of Lincoln, at Llangollen, cm Saturday, ip presenting the Archbishop' s message connected with the National Mission of Repentance and Hope. He said we needed the great war to save us from uttermost damnation, for there was great peril in the direction in which we were going. As a people luxury, materialism, and social iniquity were consuming us when God in His mercy smote us. We had gone through more than two years of war, but if the war had ended in the first six months with sweeping victories on land and sea for ourselves, by this time we should have become the rottenest nation the world had ever known. If we had an easy victory we should be a perfectly intolerable people, and we needed not only war but all that we had had. As God used the false gods of Egypt to scourge the people, so He was using false gods worshipped in this country. Three years ago we wor- shipped riches, and He made us spend five millions a day. We could not spare a single sou for missionary work now. He required our first-bom for the trenches, and the publicans them- selves acquiesced in the despotic licensing order for the wel fare of the State. The nation was finding its true self in what Ruskin called the rough school of war.

At Carmarthen, on Saturday, Mar- garet James (20), a domestic servant, who had been employed at a Llangen- deime farm, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide. Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, the mistress, said defendant, who had always been happy and contented, was found up- stairs bleeding from a wound in the throat. Dr. Wallace said the wound was a dangerous one, and she might have bled to death. She did not seem to take the affair very seriously. The Bench dismissed the charge on defen- dant's father giving an undertaking to take care of her-,
