DAYLIGHT TIME
TOMORROW

Daylight saving time, which goes
into effect tomorrow in several
Eastern cities, will cause Washing
tonians some confusion, since the
District will remain on standard
time.
Coast-to-coast radio programs
which originate in New York and
other cities on the daylight sched-
ule will be on the air an hour
earlier for Washington listeners.
The railroads, which previously
have refused to bow to the change,
have capitulated to certain de-
gree. The Pennsylvania Railroad
announces three of its trains be-
tween here and Boston will be on
a revised schedule. The train
which heretofore left at 10 a. m.
will leave at 8. The one leaving at
p. m. will go at noon and the
train which departed at p. m.
will now leave at 8.
The Washington Board of Trade
went on record yesterday as being
in favor of daylight saving time

sentative Mary T. Norton, chair
man of the House District Commit
tee endorsing a DILL introduced by
Representative Leon Sacks Of

Position: Stand erect in good
posture, hands down at sides.
Movement: Inhaling, slowly
raise the arms in front of the body,
elbows straight, to shoulder level.
Now, turn the palms up and con-
tinue the movement of the arms
around to sides until they extend
straight out from the shoulders.
Exhale while slowly lowering arms
to sides. Repeat the exercise 10
times. If you are overweight or
underweight, the bust measure
ment will improve by bringing the
weight to normal.
There should be a 7-to-9-inch

Position: Sit on the floor
