A policeman with an unshaved face

Adverse criticism of some members
of the force prompted Maj. Sullivan
to issue an edict calling upon pre-
cinct captains not to permit a mar

clean: unkempt or untidy appear

After quoting the regulations which
deal with the police uniform Mai
Sullivan said in his order:
There is evident. in the appearance
of many members of the force. a very
prevalent disposition to disregard the
provisions of the aforementioned or
ders and regulations.
Men have also been observed or

linen. faces unshaved, shoes unpol-
ished, clothing wrinkled and of a
general unkempt appearance-condi-
justification for adverse criticism or

The order states that precinct cap

CARS TO MEET CHANGES

Washington's daylight saving sea
son is now a thing of the past and
according to sentiments expressed
about the White House it is a closed
incident for some time to come-at
least during the remainder of this
administration.
The early-to-work- ind early to- quit
plan, which was officially inaugu-
rated by the federal and district
governments July / at the instance
OF the city's business men, came to
an official close with the ending nf
the working day yesterday. Accord
ing TO the designation of the Presi-
dent. the old working hours were to
become effective again tomorrow. but
lnasmuch rs the day is holiday and
the various departments will be
closed, the old schedule will not ac-
tuaiiy go in effect until Tuesday
morning. According to Information
received at the White House the re-
turn to the old schedule Is approved
and desired by the vast ma joriIy Of
employees.
Old Order for Others.
Those business houses and other
establishments in Washington which
nave been operating under the day
!lsnt-SaNlng plan during the past
two months also will return to the
old order of things. However, quite
number of the larger stores and
business houses that adopted the
early-hour schedule July 1 have long
since abandoned it and have been
working on the old schedule The
street railways and the suburban
lines which were forced from neces-
sity to meet the situation by alter
ing their running schedules to COM
ply with the change in working
hours. Will make other changes Tues
day to handle the peak loads
Many OF those who have been un-
favorable to the daylight-saving plan
as IT was effected in the District
during the past two months have ex-
pressed the opinion that it would
nave been acceptable, and probably
popular generally, had the saving
oeen made by means of an act of
congress which called for the turn
ing ahead of the hands of the clock.
Not Fresident's Wish.
The President, however, did not ap-
prove OF this. In fact, he did not ap-
prove of any daylight saving plan, and
The method finally adopted FOR the Dis
.lrict was agreed to by him only after il
had been represented to him that the
majority of government employees de-
sired it and that the merchants and
business establishments were eager for
daylight saving
The President established the plan nv
an official letter to all departmental
heads, and he terminated the plan by a
similar action.
Therefore. from now on it will be re-
port for work at and quit at 4:3O.
