DAYLIGHT SAVING.
PLAN ADvoCATED.
Daylight saving was strongly ad-
yocated yesterday by DR.. James II.
wiseman. Of indianapolis. Ind. In
an Interview at the Ebbitt House.
81 notice with great degree Of
satisfaction that Washington.
through it's Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, Is striving to
have daylight saving law enacted
for the Nations Capital" DR.. wiso-
man said. ''This movement. strong
ly anti-conservativc as 1t Is ana
somewhat in opposition to the
principles Of tradition. is one of tie
greatest pieces OF economies that
has been legislated into our busl-
ness lie In recent years.
Estimates place the saving in
electricity alone, because of adop-
tion of this law. at millions Of dol
lars annually. Certainly this Is not
to be sneered at. 1t affects every
man, woman and child. .
Business men are affected pri-
marily through the saving in cleo
trio light bills. In these times any
saving is a Godsend. We have about
passed over the business depression.
l believe. but we yet have a long
way to go before business is again
on its feet and the nation able to
go into high speed.
BETTER WORKING
CONDITIONS CLAIMED.
Furthermore. through daylight
saving business is benefited by
better working conditions. The
psychology of working while the
sun shines is most benefi Mil
lions of men and women laborers
will work two hours more during
the sunny hours of the day IL the
law is made nationwide. Experts
have already proclaimed the supe-
rior values OF work turned oIt dur
ing the day over that produced dur
ing the drab hours of dusk and
night.
women and children reap the
benefits of the law through longer
hours of daylight. Again, the elcc
trio light bill in the home is GU,
down. The cares of the housewife
are lightened as the cares of fac
tory employees are made easier
through work during the sunny
hours.
Children are given two more
hours Of play during the day
through this law. Again it's benert

indiana is about to enter one
OF its most prosperous eras," ne
predicted. Crops were but slightly
damaged by the recent late frosts.-
AUTOnoBILE INDUSTRY
QUICK TO REVIVE.
The automobile was one of the
first industries. perhaps, to feel the
effects of the period OF depression

dustry is taking the lead in hitting
the road to prosperity. INDIANAPOLIS
has become an automobile city in

to Detroit. Our factories are now
flourishing and l believe / can truly
say we will be in better shape by
June than We were q year ago.
DIR. Wiseman was quite loud in
his praise of the Hoosier educa-
tional system.
I'VE have some OF the best uni
versities in the nation and Indiana
has one of the highest percentage
rates of students in the country"
he said. Purdue. Indiana, Notre
Dame. De Pauw. Wabash and Rose
Poly rank among the leaders in
both educational and athletic su-
premacy."
DIR. Wiseman declared Indiana
was enthusiastic in its support of
President Harding and the new ad-
ministration.
I'VE somewhat favored Gen. Wood
and Senator johnson in the prima-
ries, but the sentiment of the State
is plainly in favor of the President
now and in his acts to date. Ma
urally we are very proud of Sec
retsry Hays, who directed activities
of the Republican organization dur
ing the last campaign"
Mr.. wiseman said the State faced
a lively Senatorial campaign two
years hence. He declared Senator
New would have a worthy foe in
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge.
There is not much doubt that
Beveridge will run, he believes. In
diana Is now under control OF a
Republican administration and he
expressed the opinion the State
would go Republican at the next
Senatorial election. Both Beveridge
and New are Republicans.
