DAYLIGHT SAVING
Would Modify Law to Be
Effective But Four
Months.

Approval in effect of the Hen
derson bill providing daylight saw
ing hours for the District of CO.
lumbia was provided in a resolu-
ton adopted last night by the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
at a meeting in Rauscher's.
A reservation providing that the
changed hours go into practice a
month later and end a month earli-
er than proposed by Senator Hen
derson was included in the resolu-
tion. which will go to Congress.
Daylight saving for the District of
Columbia alone would mean two kinds
of time for Washington. railroad and
local time. This point furnished sub
ject for spirited discussion before the
measure was finally adopted.
1t was pointed out that considerable
confusion might result for travellers.
but the argument was overruled. A.
Leftwich Sinclair, chairman of a
special committee appointed to in
vestigste daylight saving for Wash
ington. introduced the resolution.
1t was proposed that the Hender-
son bill go into effect on the last
Sunday in April and end on the last
Sunday in September, instead of
starting in March and ending in
October as provided in the bill.
