 fuel otherwise necessary, will have
 heen saved through the scheme of turning the clocks ahead one hour.
 People are advised to turn their clocks ahead II hours, however, in or
 der to arrive at the correct time ra
 ther than to actually turn the hands
 of clock backward one hour, for in turning the hands backward past the
 hour they are liable to injure the me
 chanism. While some clocks are so
 constructed that no damage would re-
 suit in turning the hands backward,
 many of them are so built that it will result in damage if this is attempt ed. It would. therefore, be the safest method to turn the hands ahead Il
 hours to arrive at the proper time on and after Oct. 27 at 2 a. III.
 Doubtless a majority of people will set the clocks prior to 2 o'clock Sun | day morning. making the change just before retiring for the night on Sat urday, the 18th. The new time will commence early Sunday morning and
 the setting back may be done with out any sIip-up ln correct time by do- | ing this late Saturday evening or be- l fore 2 o'clock in the morning. Sun day morning will be an agreeable time

KEEP HIGHWAY TRANSPORT
 UP TO THE MAXIMUM

The United States Employment Ser vice has instructed it's representative for Connecticut, Leo A. Korper, to refer to the highways transport com mittee of the council of national de- fense all adjustments of labor employ ed in any phase Of highways trans port activities. The department of State Council of Defense will co-op- crate with the highways transport committee of the national council in carrying out the order of the United States Employment Service.
 The federal order applies to all states, and was made in view of the advisability of increasing transporta- ton facilities for the country Iduring the war through effective utilization Of the highways.
 In referring these duties to the highways transport committee, J. E. pensmore. director general, United States Employment Service, wrote to R. c. Hargreaves, secretary ot high ways transport committee, as follows:
 "The United States Employment Service recognizes the war time need for making the most effective and eff ficient utilization of our highways as a means of strengthening and in creasing our transportation resources, and especially is acquainted with the valuable direction given by the high ways transport committees to this problem.
 we are also convinced that tom mage capacity of our highways trans port resources can be greatly 1n- creased by applying all possible vehi- cles, horses and labor in line with ma tional policies promulgated by you and, naturally, in transportation that vitally aids in accomplishing our war programme.
 'We therefore desire to effect any ladjustment of labor employed in any phase of highways transport activ- i tty relating to either power or horse drawn vehicles, in cooperation with your national organization. relying on | your state highways transport com mittees to furnish the facts regard ! ing essential highways transport ac- i tivity with which they are intimately | familiar and on which our state and local labor department officers may
 base their necessary orders.
 We are therefore transmitting in- structions to our representatives, ad-
 vising them that all matters touch ing or in any way affecting highways
 transport operations are to be deal with on the advice of your organiza- tion."
 1 Secretary Hargreayes also said that
 the policy of the highways transpoTt
 committee will be to conserve ant
 strengthen every element of highway l transportation. and to so direct it as to serve those industries which vii
 tally aid m accomplishing the wal
 programme, as indicated from time tt time by the war industries board.
