For instance there are virtually no new cities on the list for daylight savings time this year and none of the cities which last year had the new time have gone back to standard time. A partial list of cities and states observing the changed hours fol- lows: New York—Most of the principal cities such as New York city, Buf- falo, Albany, Schenectady and Troy. New Jerse lost of the principal cities, including Trenton, Newark, Atlantic City and Jersey City. Connecticut —Notwithstanding the passage of a law making it an of- fense to show other than Eastern Standard Time on clocks or time- pieces publicly displayed, daylight saving is observed by banks, of- fices, stores and factories in some 30 citles, including Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury.

Illinois—Chicago and suburbs. SCALDS LITTLE GIRL Tips Pot From Stove, Re- ceiving Contents on Body Dislodging a nickel-plated fron rail which bordered a shelf on the kitchen stove, Ruth Mildred Gjerpen, 20 month old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gjerpen of 68 McClintock road, was fatally scalded when she upset a coffee pot and the contents fell on her neck and shoulders at supper hour last night. Mrs. Gjerpen was preparing the supper and she decided to take the pot from the gas range and put it on the stove. A few minutes after she had done this the child ran from another room and stopped directly in front of the stove. The jar dis- -lodged the rail and it fell to the top of the stove. It struck the pot a glancing blow and the pot fell over, dumping the coffee on the child as she stooped over to pick up some- thing on the floor. The child was hurried to the New Britain General hosiptal. Death oc- curred at 6:15 o'clock this morning. She was the youngest of five chil- dren. The others are Carl and Law- rence, brothers, and Endrid and Marit, sisters. The oldest is 12 years and the youngest is four years of age.

His 25-foot putt for a birdie 3 on the 55th hole banged against the back of the cup and then bounced out, stopping inch- es away. Compston’s long putt was six inches short. “You'll have to sink it, Archie” said Hagen laughingly. Hagen then roiled his ball in and Compston fol- lowed, both men getting 4s.
