one-fourth Of the country's entire

their intention of discarding it in
1929, but on the whole the move.
ment il larger this spring than at
any time previous.
a survey made in New York to.
day by the merchants association
indicates that virtually every city
of importance in the country, par.
ticularly those in which major and
minor league baseball Is played,
will use daylight savings time this
summer.
Law in New York
Just few weeks ago the State
Of New York passed a law making
daylight savings time mandatory
within it's confines, much to the
CONSERVATION of six small towns
that had decided during the winter
to use only eastern standard time.
Another State with a similar law is
Massachusetts,, where <the practice
enjoys a wide popularity.
In New York daylight savings
will bs in effect this year from 2
a. m. April % to a. m. September

An interesting commentary on
the differences of opinion that
exist in regard to prolonging the
daytime is the situation in Con.

New England State have decreed
that it is an offe Sc to show any
other time but Eastern standard on

WAY IS SOUGHT
To SMASH BIC
DOPE RINGS
BY KENNETH CLARK


The voice of American women,
expressed through members OF the
feminine bloc in Congress, was
raised yesterday in a fervent plea
to save the nation from the grow
ing menace of dope.
Mrs, Ruth Hanna Mccormick (R.),
of Illinois, daughter of Mark Hanna,
"the Maker Of Presidents" an
nounced she favored stringent meas
ures to smash the drug rings which
are preying on the. misfortunes of
thousands of addicts.
Mrs. OIdfieId for War
Similar views were uttered by
Mrs. Pearl P. Oldfield CD. of
Arkansas, who succeeded her hus-
band, William A. Oldfield, in Con-
gress. Oldfield was Democratic
whip at the time of his death.
Others of the bloc, including Mrs.
Ruth Bryan Owen CD. of Florida,
daughter of "the Commoner;" Mrs.
Florence Kahn 02l, of California;
Mrs. Mary T. Norton Cd, of New
Jersey; Mrs. Ruth Pratt R). of
New York, and Mrs. Edith Nourse
Rogers CR), of Massachusetts,, are
expected to be leaders in the fight
when narcotics reorganization legis-
lation comes before Congress for
passage.
On this occasion. Mrs. Mccormick
and Mrs. Owen. whose fathers
political feuds made history AZ gen.
Grafton ago, may be found battling
side by side in the House to sup
press and control the illicit traffic
in dope. The fight to curb the
evil has transcended party lines
and is commanding support from
all sides at the Capitol.
Youth Debauched
Debauch of American boys and
girls through drugs makes impera'
tive the enactment of legislation to
strengthen the narcotic laws. Mrs.
Kahn believes.
Dope traffickers are the most
unscrupulous scoundrels in the
world" she declared. "They open.
ly solicit trade among mere chill
dren. A few doses of the drugs
and the boys and girls become
addicted to vicious habit that
shackles body and soul and leads
to the grave.
Nothing should deter US until
we have taken such effective
measures of control that dope can.
not escape to illicit channels"

II Prices for Gasoline
Found by A.A.A. in US.

Seventy-seven different prices are
charged for gasoline in the United
States. according to the results of
a nation wide survey conducted by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
The prices ranged from IL to Paw
cents for ordinary gasoline and
from Is to 2712 cents gallon for
high test fuel. Proximity to the
source of supply has little effect
on gasoline prices, the survey re-
vealed. In some cities close to the
oil fields gasoline was more ex.
pensive than in cities along the
eastern seaboaRd.
