When the 800 Quantico Marines par- ticipate in the re-enactment of the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2 in conjunction with the Cavalry from Fort Myer and 600 cadets from Vir- ginia Military Institute, the difference between first aid treatment of Civil ‘War times and that employed today will be demonstrated. A horse-drawn ambulance, such as was utilized in the days of the Blue and the Gray. has been procured by Capt. W. L. Mann, U. 8. N., senior medical officer at Quantico attached to the Marines. At Chancellorsville he will establish dressing stations and a field hospital. These will give visitors a vivid portraval of how first aid is given under fire. Capt. Mann will have charge of the hospitalization and evacuation of the “casualties” among the Marines, who will represent the forces of Gen. Joseph Hooker. The “leathernecks” will be under command of Col. Charles F. B. Price. his grave at 3 o'clock this morning. From New York to New Zea- land the squawk of clocks being ad- vanced an hour in accordance with man-made law were the signal for the 1935 entrance of daylight saving time. Astronomers, farmers and sailors will again object at such human in- terference with the movements the sun, but golf-playing bankers, park-going lovers and sun baskers in general will shout with glee. Daylight saving is only a battle cry in Washington, where the Junior Board of Trade and Elder Lightfoot Michaux have sought its introduction. The clocks in the District are fol- lowing the sun as they always have except in the Summers of 1918 and 1919, when Congress first passed a daylight-saving act and then repealed it over President Wilson’s veto. Daylight saving is much more popu- lar in Europe than in the United States. Here Massachusetts and Rhode Island have State laws establishing the day for setting clocks forward an hour in the Spring and setting them back an hour in the Fall. * Adopted in Cities. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and a few other cities have adopted the system through city ordinance. HE man who said “time and tide I wait for no man” revolved in a few factories put it in force.

Mexico has it 12 months in the year. The natural confusion attending daylight saving runs riot in Portland, Me., and New Haven, Conn. Both bidding this affront to the sun; no- time.

By the Associated Press, BOSTON, Apfil 27.—Abandoned New England farm land is beckoning these days to thousands of city dwell- ers upon whom the industrial gods have frowned and to Midwest farmers harassed by devastating duststorms. Numerous farms, especially near New York and other large cities, de- serted decades ago when the lure of city life proved too strong, are being rehabilitated. Industrious families whose dwin- dling nest eggs forced them into de- pendency upon city welfare bounty are bending their backs to the soil, which they know will provide at least the necessaries of life. Farms on Increase. Yhe National Census Bureau re- cently reported that since 1930 there had been an increase of more than 500,000 farms in the United States, and there seems a fair likelihood that Wwhen the next census rolls around rural areas will have recaptured a majority of the Nation's populauon.‘ From the suburbs of Lincoln, | Nebr., to Granby, Vt., recently came | Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Brown, victims, | they said, of settling dust clouds that | ruined their land. Many other fam- | ilies, similarly affected, they asserted, were en route to Vermont and other | New England States in quest of va- cant farms. In the past five years, 2,238 farms | have been rehabilitated in Vermont, | increasing the total from 24,989 to | 27.138. | In Connecticut, where the number | of farms has increased from 17,195 to | | 34,853, or more than 100 per cent, in five years, Fairfield County, nearest to New York, showed the largest in- crease.

Kirkland, a former British medical. officer in Southern Rhodesia, comes a description of “life after death” as a pretty chilling business. Dr. Kirkland has related his experi- ences in “the other world,” at the request of the International Institute for Physical Research. Officially “dead” for a period of time, the surgeon’s strongest impres- sion is that of having been uncom- fortably cold. His experience was in 1913, when, after a series of oper- ations, attending surgeons declared that life had passed. “Suddenly I saw myself lying on my back,” he said. “Almost imme- diately I found myself and others —very faintly discernible in a tunnel —like a railway tunnel—with a little speck of light at the end. “They were all hurrying along as fast as they could and I did not seem to make much headway. I was ter- ribly cold and I kept pulling around myself some gray garments which proved of no use. “After a long struggle I managed to get into & fairly good stride and the cold was not so bad, I was beginning to enjoy myself and the light was gradually getting brighter. Suddenly some one, or something, flashed up in front of me and blotted out the light, Instantly the intense cold re- turned. “T was furious and fought violently with this something or somebody. Then everything went black again, and the next thing I knew was that I was alive again—though only Jjust.” 4 MODEL SL 300 Leonard Refrigerator $99.50 Plus a Small Carrying Charge for Credit.
