In NEW York City, rhiladelphia,

will go ahead an hour at midnight or
shortly alter. And in all these cites

Connecticut last year passed q. law
providing for daylight saving only by
local ordnance. ~ New London and
New Haven alone adopted such ordi-
hances, but this year Hartford has
joined their ranks, 'and daylight saw

Most Of the leading business centers
of Europe have adopted daylight saw
ing permanently. Paris will continue
it this year but discard 1t In 1928 un-
der q new law. London took to saw.
ing daylight on March 26 while all
lne cltles OF Belgium and France will
JOIN her tomorrow or already have
done 20. Germany, by national law,
holds aloof and will conduct all It's !
business and trade on Its usual time
standard.
The situation In New York state is
peculiar. In the first year Of Cover
nor Miller's administration, the farm
bloc" passed q bill repeating the state
daylight saving law but permitting It
by local ordinance. All Of the large
cities had daylight saving last year,
but. many have changed for the COM
ing summer. VII
Most notable among such cities are
Rochester, Syracuse and Oswego. Al
ter one of the hardest local lights the
city has ever known, Syracuse, on
April 10 passed an ordinance against
tinkeMng with the hands OF the clock. |
This was followed by action in nearby,
smaller cities, such as Ogdenburg;' l
Watertown, Oneida, Ithaca, Cortland
and Auburn. Binghamton later agreed
to remain on standard time, 20 that
the central part Of the state will be
almost entirely served by the winter
clock"
The principal seaboard summer re.
sorts will be on the new fme.. Attain
tic City, Newport, lNarransansett and
Bar Harbor will save daylight.
Ranks In New York will operate on
the daylight time as win the stock ex.
change and all other business. Trains
will be run on old time, unless the new
bill is passed by Congress, but as was

The trains going west will leave
here on standard time, reach Albany
on daylight time and pass Syracuse
and Rochester on standard time, \
bringing new complication for trav-
elers. Watches will be an hour ahead
of the train leaving New York, but on
time in Albany. while at Syracuse they
will be an hour fast.
