Greenwich Mean Time on Aug. 9-10, Sept. 13-14, Oct. 11-12, and so on around the calendar of the Polar Year's afternoon twilight, night and morning, each station will waft into the air a big rubber balloon.

They have seen the cabs drive up in an October fog to the Somerset, they have seen Sever in twilight, they have heard great men, they have wandered home at night arm and arm singing, they have spent money, and danced and drank, and studied.
