WASHINGTON. March IS The

Wheat for Allies imperative.
Wheat for the allies becomes
more imperative as the season pro-
crosses because Of the danger in

ma tion sets in Up 10 March 10, the
United States was 500 600 tons be-
hind in its program of cereal ex-
port. Much of the program was to
have been corn, but the breakdown
in railroad transportation delayed
shipment SO that wheat, which
earlier in the year. had been given
priority, had to be sent abroad 10
avert famine.
Ask Cut Of 80 Percent.
A only wheat and barley can be
hipped after April I, the public is
being asked to cut its consumption

MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS
Advocates Of Daylight Saving Could
DO II by Setting Alarms Ahead
as Well AZ Clocks.

One good thing about compensations
Is that they are always ready to change
to suit circumstances. That Is. Of
of course, what compensations are for.
We have, therefore. no sooner made up
our minds that we shall have to stay
at home with our backyard gardens
this summer than we are confronted
by the suggestion that our clocks may
be set ahead In order to give US an ex-
ira hour in the garden every evening.
says a writer In the Indianapolis News.
It Is easy enough to understand that
IN hour in the garden every evening Is
worth many day at summer resort.
There Is. to be sure. the difficulty Of
getting up an hour earlier every MORN
ing, but 1t would not really seem an
hour earlier. Most Of us do not like
getting up in the morning. no matter
what time 1t is, and an hour or 50
makes no noticeable difference at that
time Of day. AS far as all that Is con-
cerned there may be some difference
of opinion as to whether the clocks
should be set ahead In order to give
us that hour in the evening or whether
the alarms on our clocks should be set
ahead In order to give US the extra
hour in the morning. 1t looks on the
face. Of 1t as though 1t might be pos
sible to get two extra hours out Of our
days.
