New York, Jan. GA plan to set
the clocks of the United States ahead
an hour May | to save daylight until
Sept 30 will be considered by the day
light saving national convention
which begins Monday.
This plan" said Borough President
Marks, who fathered the idea in this
country, which was SO successfully
used in Europe last year, would save
the United States 500. 000, 900 in artifi-
cial light and fuel alone.
This plan has been heartily en-.
dorsed by leading commercial bodies
In Chicago. Pittsburg, New York.
Rochester, Detroit, Cleveland and
elsewhere.
The plan is simply that between
May | and Sept. 80, when daylight
comes so early, we set the clocks OF
the country an hour ahead. That gets
the country to work an hour earlier
and permits 1t TO quit while IL is still
broad daylight, thus o~bviating the
necessity for so much artificial light
ITO this national convention the

trade throughout the country. govern
