electric power, Germany and Austria took time by the forelock, and began
saving daylight at 11 p.m. on the 30th of April, 1916, by advancing the
hands of the clock one hour until the following October. This 1916 action
was immediately followed by other countries in Europe, Belgium, Denmark,
France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and
Turkey, as were Tasmania, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. Britian began 3 weeks
