Special Dispateh to The Star NEW YORK, April 20.—One week from today, Harry Lauder’s old sons, “It's Nice to Get Up in the Morning, But Nicer to Stay in Bed,” will take on new and poignant meaning to hun- eds of thousands of workers. This that some centers like New: York, . St. Paul and Duluth will do is sufficient to cause workers in hundreds of other towns to arise an hour lier. The plan of setting the clock one hour ahead in Summer has bandoned in such places as In , Columbus, St. Louis, Fort . Houston, Ka s City, Omaha, Des Moines, Denver, Milwaukee, Bir- mingham, Atlanta and others. Opposition From Farmers. The change has undoubtedly come bout through opposition of the rmers. In some States it is made an offense against the law to have clocks in public places set on daylight savings time. In spite of this, how- ever, a good many cities voluntarily adopt the change du 5 simply opening banks, stores and offices an hour earlier than during the remainder of the yvear. Philadelphia will operate its bourse th, day, earlier time although the clocks will not be changed. Mayor Magee of Pittsburgh has issued recommend- ing” that the industries of that city take similar action. Brokers Strong for Change. Those engaged brokerage busi nesses or dealing large markets have consistently supported the change, since it prevented New York, delphia and Chicago from ‘“get ting the jump on them” by an hour. But those dealing in markets from Denver west have been merely luke- warm in their support, realizing that an extremely early opening of their aces of business would tend to re- e the number of their customers. tate through their representatives that in in a ality makes thn change. ains have al ways been on standard time and never have been affected. The roads have become so used to handling the ch; in time on suburban train les that absolutely no confusion is likely to woccur whether daylight. saving time is in effect or mnot. New Those who drive woerk next' Monday counter changes much more confus. ing to them than the change in time. On that date the direction of street traffic by light signals will be altered so0 that there are but two signals green to “go” and red to ‘“stop. Formerly red was used only as a signal that the direction of traffic was to be changed. Orange was used.to start north and southbound traffic and green to start east and movement.

It was added that the Panhandle ranches were Qging sold 1o _farmers.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.—Cali- fornia members of the American Legion have been asked to indorse a new transcontinental highway to be called Wilson highway, in honor of the World War President. The proposed highway would stretch tfrom Washington, C.. to Los Angeles. It would traverse a South- ern route, passing through Augusta, Ga., the childhood home of Woodrow Wilson.

S. Naval Officers. Commercial aeroplane operations are being carried on with success in Co. lombia, South America, with German pilots company largely mation received at the Navy Depart- ment. The fact was learned by an American naval seaplane commander in a recent reconnoitering expedition there to determine the possibility for naval operations from the air in case of necessity. His report said a regular schedule of one flight weekly is main- tained between Cartegena and Barra. quilla, and it was stated that the land plane’ schedule was also maintained between these ports and Bogota. The type of seaplane used is believed to be senger Junker metal mono- plane. Stockholders of the compa said, the commander reports, that they were making meney, “but as they know nothing of aviation, and no planes were in Cartagena at the time, Do other information worth while was obtained. Headquarters of the com- pany is in Barraquilla.” He says that the pilots and some of the owners of the planes are Germans. Cavenas, he reported, was an open roadstead and unsuited for seaplane operations, but said that the harbor at Cispata was suitable. At Cartegena | there are several hard-packed sand patches suitable for land plane opera- tions, and the harbor makes an ideal place for seaplane work, although he said that there were several coral reefs which would have to be marked. There are fairly good machine shop facilities, oil and water are available, but it takes 10 days’ notice to the American consul to get aeroplane gas. | GERMANY SOON TO HAVE GASOLINE PUMP LIKE U.S. | Clumsy Method of Handling Motor | Fuel Will Be Replaced by Efficient U.
