Daylight Saving
Time Effective
Sunday, April Is

Waterbury's clocks will be set
ahead one hour at 2 a. M, April
IS, which marks the commence
ment of another period Of daylight
saving time. This city and state,
together with twelve other states,
will be the only ones maintaining
the time change this year which
continues to the last Sunday in
September.
New York city, the pioneer in
daylight saving precedent, will
again go through the clock setting
ritual, which Is almost always the
cause of much confusion at its
outset, and for no good reason.
From the time daylight saving
was inaugurated, clerks, mer-
chants, laborers and officials have
"been late because I set the clock
an hour back instead of ahead"
Use of daylight saving time will
be statewide in Connecticut, Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island.
Almost every city and town IN
New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania will
also recognize 1t. Towns and
cities in Delaware, Georgia, In
diana, Chicago, and Idaho will
also be on daylight saving time,
although the change will not be
made statewide.

term here, will preside, and then
depart for Hartford superior court

New England representation at the
Jamboree. He explained that in
all there will ne $500 persons from
New England at the encampment,
divided into two sections. In each
section there will be LIP scouts,

Mr.. Severance said today that there

This afternoon at five o'clock Mr..
Severance will confer with the

said today that there are large
number Of high school and college
graduates included in the SIC young
men looking for employment.
80 Per Cent Waterburians
Figures tabulated yesterday at the
office showed that there are 1895
men now on the active files for the
Waterbury district, about 80 per cent
of this number residents Of Water
bury.
The men on the active files have
been classified in regard to ages as
follows: 1913, 1856 boys; 1925, SIG
young men; 1851, 258 men; 1898,
242 men; 39-45, 300 men; 1880, 225
men; 51-56, 262 men; 57-65, 1876
men; GO and over, SO men.
Manager Shea said today that
there are only about 10 per cent
of the men listed who would not
be At for hard manual labor. He
also stated that there are very few
skilled workmen in the entire list
1t may be noted from the above
age chart that, aside from the 10
rs classification, the bulk Of men out
Of work are between the ages OF
26 and As. A total Of 806 men fall
into this category.
Little Prospect
1t is more or less assumed that
men over so years have less chance
than younger men for employment
unless they are skilled in some trade
so in the Waterbury district there
are some 500 men whose futures are
not any too bright.

Senator Culhane appeared person.
ally before the committee and
stated that 1t was not directed at
any one judge and was not design
ed to take away patronage. He said
that the aim is to cut down dual
expenses to beneficiaries of estates
because in many instances, after the
appraisers named by the Judges of
probate nave completed their work
the state tax commissioner orders
a new appraisal. He said that a
saving to survivors of a deceased
person would benefit by the pass
age of his bill.
Attorney Farwell Knapp of the
tax commissioners Office was pres
ent at yesterday afternoons hear
ing and said that his department
was neither for or against the Gull
hane bill. He said that appraisers
in the state are now paid between
$4,000 and 100000 a year, their
fees coming from estates and that
the bill, If adopted, would place the
same cost on the state.

1t is believed that Attorney
Knapp's statement was. instrument

Discretionary bill was necessary: under
the thesis Of his opponents Z man
datory bill was required, specifying
exactly what steps had to be taken
and when.
That, then, was the struggle: Peace
By oo-operation with world agencies
versus peace through strict neutrality.
The former prevailed.
May Supplement League Action
The neutrality act permits the
President to supplement the action
Of the League in penalizing aggressora
by limiting trade with them, while
leaving 1t open with sanctionist
powers.
This power, which was intended for
use as an aid to collective peace ac-
tion-and rs q means Of forestalling
possible armed conflict with sane
zionist states-is capable OF use in re-
verse. That Is. the President If he is
convinced of the injustice of q bellig-
erent's cause and OF the need for
American action to penalize the az
gressor, may utilize this authority be-
fore, and even without expectation. Of,
subsequent League action.
Thus the United States conceivably
may be put In the position Of leading
the way In punishment Of an ag-
gressor. That was exactly the position
it took in the Italo- Ethiopian contest,
when President Roosevelt. before the
League had acted on sanctions, warned
Americans against trading with bellig-
erents.
