Control of Army Purchasing.

Behind the announcement stands the
probability that Army purchasing also
will be drawn together under a central
control. Steps to that end are Nnder con-
sdera ton. but legislation may be required
to carry it out The question of finding
man for this job however, already has
been taken up. Some officers think the
duty should be placed under the general
staff but others believe a separate office
should be created, to be filled by a civilian
of national reputation for business ability.

The Senate today is expected to

House yesterday.
Under the bill, all clocks in the ma
tlonal railroads and in Government
departments will be pushed ahead an
hour on March 81. and will be pushed
back again on october 81.
The Senate bill provided the
changes should be made on April 80
and September 30.
The American public generally Is
expected to follow the example set by
Government clocks. and get more
daylight. Results expected are in
creased production by reason of more
work in gardens, clearing away of
transportation congestion by use OF an
extra hour a day at docks and freight
