 Receipt of Q cable from Miss Mar- tin on Thursday allayed fears for her safety which her relatives na- t,lrally felt after the sinking of the ship which was carrying her to Eng land, together with 6 other volunteer Red Gross nurses from this country.
 'Tn London now. Lost everything. Very busy. Received by Queen, Churchill and ambassador. Inform friends" 1. this was the message forwarded Thursday to Miss Mar tins sister, Mrs. F. w. Hunt, who is visiting in waterbury.
 Miss Martin, who lives in Wash- ineton, was sailing for Harvard hos- pital in England with the other nurses and some marines when the Maasden was sunk. Several of the others on board were already report ed rescued by the United States navy.

 Although many states, cities towns ana areas in the United States are now and have during past years regularly used summer or daylight saving" time, adminis- tration officials and Congress are hesitating about enactment of a law compelling its nationwide adoption as an aid to increased production in the national emer- gency.
 European nations at war are op- erating under daylight saving. Dur- ing the first World War the United States adopted the summer time system as @ means of saving fuel and power and promoting general efficiency.
 Then, as now, large sections of the population objected particu- larly the farm areas. The farmers complained that farm animals and fowls couldn't be induced to change their bedtime and other habits by law; that the dew wasn't of the grass and crops any earlier even though they moved the hands of the clocks forward; that train schedules for shipping milk, etc., were all mixed up by the change of clock time The rural vote was successful in defeating the con- tinuance of daylight saving after the war closed. Urban areas, par ticularly the metropolitan area around New York City, found day. light saving time efficient and con- tinued 1t. The railroads perforce must stick to official clock time. Although Benjamin Franklin was perhaps the first person in the world to draw attention to the anomaly of burning expensive arti- ficial light in the evening whilst an abundance of free daylight was wasted in the morning by late ris- ing, 1t remained for William Willett in England to originate move ment for daylight saving in 1907 by the publication of booklet entitled , "The Waste of Daylight. He pro- posed that during the summer months people should rise an houi earlier than usual in the morning begin work an hour earlier and fin ish an hour earlier in the after. noon. A heated controversy ensuec extending over six years. Early 1T 1908 Daylight Saving Bill" wal introduced in the British House O Commons, but failed of enactment Willett died in 1915 without seein( his cherished plan adopted.
 I Tn 1916, however, the British Par lament, as 8 measure of war econ omy, adopted a bill that becaml effective on May 20, to advance thu clocks by full hour on May 2 with return to normal time ol October l. In the same month tn system was introduced in Denmark Germany, and Holland; Italy France and Portugal followed il June. In Germany, permanen adoption was proposed in July Tasmania adopted the plan in Sep tember, Victoria in November am the Australian Dominion Parlia

Congress In Doubt
 About Nationwide Daylight Saving Time

ment passed the measure to take effect in January, 1917. Tn october it was actively urged in the U. s. A. Norway decided in favor of daylight savings in May 19l6, but rejected 1t in April 1917, as did Denmark and Sweden in the same month, while Spain adopted 1t in May Turkey, Switzerland and Russia also adopt ed daylight saving; Nova Scotia and Newfoundland were the first to adopt 1t in the Western Hemisphere Wilson signed the Daylight Saving Act, under which standard time throughout the U. S. A. and Alaska was advanced one hour for the per- iod each year beginning at 2 a. m. on the last Sunday of March and ending at 2 a. m. on the last Sum- day of October.
 At the close of the World War, agitation began for repeal of the Act. During 1919 the anti-daylight saving movement, sponsored large- ly by the rural population, attain ed great strength. A repeal act was passed by Congress on August 20, 1919, over President Wilson's veto, effective at midnight, October 25, 1920.
 But local ordinances and State laws in certain parts of the U. s. have had the effect of continuing the practice in large areas of the country Last year daylight saving time was observed by more than 35, ,000, 900 persons in the U. 8. New York City and most other towns and cities and villages in the State of New York observe 1t. Statewide use has been established in New Jersey and Rhode Island. Tn Mass achusetts and New Hampshire day. light time has been legalized. It is generally observed throughout the States of Maine and Connecticut, and in parts of Vermont. Tn Penn sylvania 1t is observed in Philadel- phia and Pittsburgh and their sub- urbs and generally by the larger municipalities. Chicago and neigh boring communities observe 1t. Tn parts of Delaware, Georgia, Indiana and the upper peninsula of Mich- igan daylight saving is observed In Tennessee, Memphis observes 1t Its use in Canada has been wide- spread
 The Federal Power Commission has been making an intensive study of the question, and It's survey hal indicated that nationwide daylight saving time might, under some cir cumstances, prove more harmful than valuable. Only where extrs power savings can be utilized fol defense plant operation, would day light time be distinct advantagt the commission has found. Congress apparently will await Presiden Roosevelt's recommendations on tn, subject, if any.

 Burgess needed a secretary, and Marjorie was 50 excited that she agreed to set out for his head quarters in Bath, Maine, without even mentioning the word "sal- ary."
 It was MT. Burgess vision, ac- cording to Marjorie, \ Young, that led her to become in fact the first woman naval architect in America" He noted her interest in and eagerness to understand the complexities of his ship de- signing firm.
 And he, himself, in those de- precision days when stip- building was ct 6 standEtill, taught her calculus, physics and the many varied angles related to planning and laying out Q ship.
 T never, thought I'd have any- thing to do with warshipS then, " says Marjorie with 8 reminiscent look in her blue eyes. T just thought I'd build and sail yachts forever"
 She has designed yachts, of course, dearest to her heart be- ing her own boat, 'Pomelion," a 25-foot cabin yloop. When boom- ing defense business drew Burgess to Washington, Marjorie brought "Porelion" along to nearby An- napolis. There she can spend each weekend, alone or with a few friends, racing and cruising in the channels and inlets of beautiful CheSApeake Bay.
