DAYLIGHT SAVING
HELPS FEED WORLD

Anyone who would seriously sug-
gest doing away with daylight saving
in Europe would be treated much the
same as the man who would try to
start another war, is the view OF P, s.
Ridsdale, secretary OF the National
War Garden Commission, who return
ed from Europe today.
"T am astounded,' said Mr.. Ridsdale,
who has just made a three-months'
study of the home food production
plans OF the continent, "to find there
are plans afoot to take away the ex-
ira hour OF daylight from the millions
of workers.
"InsertiOn of a rider in an appro-
priation bill aiming at repeal OF this
law is a backward piece of legisla-
tion. Any man who would seriously
try to. take away daylight saving in
Europe would be treated much che
same as the man who tried to start
another war. -.t--s.z 80
"a gigantic food rationing system IS
being put under way on the continent
Authorities agree that many millions
are approaching acute destitutiOn,
aRd- we here in America must do
everything possible to increase the
production. OF. food close to. the-point
of consumption in order to release
for the, w0rld's destitute food which
can be shipped long distsncssi -
"On behAlfiof a-World Reeding food
urge that the extra hour of daylight
be not taken away from the workers
Of this country. 1t means millions OF
dollars to the victory gardeners to say
nothing OF the health and recreational
advantages for the bench, shop, desk,
and counter workers Of the country"
The extra daylight law goes into
effect again in Italy tomorrow, and in
Great Britain March 80. All the leaf
ing countries Of Europe have daylight
saving. The United States was. the
last great country to adopt the plan,
and it goes into effect here the last
Sunday in March, unless the la wis re-
pealed.

MARCH'S OBJECTION
HOLDS UP MEDALS

The distribution of District honor
medals to the $4,000 Washington men
in the army, navy, and marine corps
still is being delayed.
II was decided to postpone the pre-
sentations when General March OBJ
jected to the medals, because they re
sembled in design the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
That General March's objection con-
stitutes a serious barrier to the plans
of the parade committee. was admit
ted today by Col. Robert n. Harper,
chairman Of the committee.
81 have called a meeting of the
executive committee for next We'd
nesday to take up the problems which
have arisen in opposition to our plans
to present the $4,000. Medals said
Colonel Harper. "If continued e. OBJ
lection is made by the War Depart
ment we can see nothing better to do
than junk or sell the honor badges.
1t will then be up to the committee to
decide whether a new design shall be
adopted and $4,000 more medals cast
The $4,000 parade fund is about
$1,000 short of its needed amount, the
committee announced today.

BIG 3" BAN TRADE
WITH RUSS REDS

Trading with Bolshevist Russia
practically has been barred by three
great nations-the United States, Eng
land and France.
As a. result Of an order issued by
the Federal Reserve Board, which
temporarily suspends expectation or
importation of Russian rubles, Of
ficials believe commercial and finan-
cial transactions with that part Of
Russia under Bolshevist control is cut
off.
Until otherwise instructed" says
the boards order to exchange agen-
cies, "the expectation or importation
of Russian rubles, or the transfer of
funds for their purchase by persons
or dealers in the United States is pro-
hibited.'
France and Great Britain. including
Canada, have acted coincidentalIy
with the United States in the meas
ures outlined, 1t was explained.
without the privilege OF exchange,
few consignments of supplies will be
forwarded, and intercourse practically
must cease. There remains the possl-
bility that some bankers in this coun-
try will accept Russian paper and ad-
vance money with which to finance
Russian purchases, but this was re-
garded as unlikely.

THE code would define what war

"This code also would provide that
one nation could not summon another

cept on a matter OF international and
common concern to the contending
nations, and the jurisdiction Of the

away naval station. The NC-3 and
NC-4 are under construction.
The NC-1 is the largest American
naval seaplane 1t is equipped with
three Liberty motors, has a carrying
capacity of about 10000 pounds. Is
designed to ,carry fifty-one people,
and is credited with a speed OF from
so to 100 miles an hour. Its radius,
limited by fuel capacity, is about
200 miles.
This would not take it across the
Atlantic in a single leap. But the
NC-1 can land on the water, even
when the water is rough. and the
present plan is to have It make a
long flight out over the Atlantic,
alight when fuel exhaustion compels
and repIenish its fuel supply from
a naval vessel. which will be on
hand, and in wireless communication
for the purpose of furnishing the
fuel for the second half OF the flight
It is estimated that, everything GO
ing successfully, the first 200 miles
can be covered in fifteen hours.
Think Britlah VIII Lead.
While every energy is being strain
ed to attempt the. fight as soon az
possible, the military and naval 'ex-
perts do not expect this country AZ
least so far as service machines art
concerned. to make the first trans-
Atlantic fight. They believe the Brit
ish government will make the first
attempt with a Zeppelin rigid in
April.
They have little doubt that it will
make the trip from England here
successfully. The indications lare that
the American naval flight with the
NC-1 cannot be undertaken before May
or June. The idea here is that per-
haps the British will win the palms
for the first lighter -than-air trans
Atlantic flight, while America will be
able to make the first heavier-than-
air flight
Experts here feel that something
should be done, and soon, to bring the
American navy ahead in aerial navi-
CATION with Iighter-than-air ma
chimes. The best the navy has in this
style Of craft is the nonrigid CO,
which flew over the White House
Thursday and is only 200 feet long.
The army has no dirigibles even as
good as this one.
The Navy Departments experts
want to tackle as soon as possible
the construction Of an advanced type
Of so-called Zeppelin airship, 700 feet
long. for a transatlantic flight The
estimates submitted to Congress call
ed for an appropriation of $15.000,00e
for lighter-than-air craft alone, but
the House struck this provision from
the bin. The Senate committee re
stored the item, but the naval bin has
been caught in. the end Of the sessi' n
jam. There is still hope in the de-
partment that the navy bill with this
item will emerge into enacted
legislation before the session ends,
