Washington-UP)-Dr c. F. Mar win, chief of the U. s. weather bu- reau, believes that daylight saving schedules. soon to become effective for the summer in some sections os the country, are "a nuisance" and eventually will be discarded.
 Although there has been an in- creasing number of cities using day. light saving, Dr Marvin said the plan inconveniences more people than it benefits. It upsets the chron- ology of scientific students, he said.
 Other officials of the bureau ex- pressed opinions like those of pr Marvin.
 J. B. Kincer, chief of the division of agricultural meterology, said day. light saving always has been ob- jectionable to farmers.
 Dr Marvin suggested shifting time zones by one-half hour in the case of the more western regions of the zones in order to obtain some of the benefits of daylight saving without it's attendant difficulties. This would eliminate the present flag" of one-half hour behind the sun time in those regions, he said.

 Friday, May 1-Frosts throughout nearly all parts of the state the past two nights resulted in native as- paragus disappearing entirely from the list of vegetables on sale today. As only a few small lots had ap- peared from favored locations pre- viously the lack of native supplies did not show as great an effect up on prices of offerings from other sections as such a shortage might cause if it occurred at a time when a larger proportion of the supply was from nearby.
 Supplies on sale of native dande- lions and spinach were continuing liberal. Rhubarb was in lighter supply. Spinach sold at somewhat lower prices, but dandelions and rhubarb remained mostly unchang- ed.
 Dressed poultry remained firm at prices fully as high as early in the week. Live poultry was firm for fancy broilers of the colored breeds and medium to light weight fowl. Broilers not up to fancw grade were in slower demand and lower.

divided opinions on the issue of the

marvels in maintaining public morale
and in heartening President Lincoln.

touch Of history to each occasion. For,
according to the United States George

the Marine Band traces its beginnings
to a drum -and-fife corps formed in

WaShingtons own national career. Ever
since its formal establishment by Con-

functions In the White House and on
other state occasions.
It might well be said that the cele-

familiar to every one in America, Is
really q picture of the original United
