RECENT STORM IS
 STRONGEST IN YEARS

The sudden storm and recent storm which was on a par with the big 1888 storm, started early Thursday morning and reached its height between midnight Fri day and am Saturday. By Sun day morning the storm had fair ly we'll subsided to allow fair estimate to be made of the dam age done. There was no great damage, mostly flooded base ments and partial damaged bulk heads, Lehmann's bulkhead and garage being the only total loss.
 The U s s R & M Co.'S oil dock was practically put out of commission, couple of pumps being buried in the sand.
 The old White Barn was com pletely undermined and consid- erable damage done to the North ern Light and Power Co. bulk head.
 The Lomen Commercial Go. tug Bozo and two lighters were caught in the height of the storm while on the way to Bluff to un- load the SS Derblay. Some con- cern was felt until the company sent Bill Munz in search of them and he found they had pulled into Golovin for shelter & were safe, minus one lighter.
 The Road Commission reports some damage to the new road across Dry Creek but it is al- ready repaired, also to the roads at the Nome River bridge, Hast ings and Solomon, all of which are being repaired and will be passable in a very short while.

Daylight Time Starts
At Midnight in
Most Of Virginia
Gov. Price Will ExpIoin
Action in 20-Minute
Broadcast Tonight
b. the Associated Press.


Daylight saving time will become
effective in virtually every city. town
and hamlet of Virginia at midnight
tonight, while the man who nudged
the clock hands an hour ahead
takes to the radio to explain the
reasons and the benefits expected
to be derived from the move,
In a Commute broadcast over
Station WMBG at Richmond, Gov.
Price will explain his action in issu-
ing the proclamation calling for
adoption of fast time in line with
the Presidents request to Governors
of Southern States.
The Governor will speak right
through that ersatz hour. His talk
will begin at 11:55 pm, Eastern
standard time. and the Commute
program will close at lis am, East
ern daylight time.
At the State capital, business
firms, hospitals and the State and
city governments will operate on
the new time schedule, but buses
and trains, doing interstate ,busi-
ness, will continue on standard time.
Mayor Gordon B. Amber, following
action by Richmond's City Council,
issued the daylight time proclama-
ton for the city yesterday.
Virtually every other population
center in the State-Norfolk, New
port News, Petersburg, Portsmouth,
Danville, Roanoke, Lynchburg and
other cities-responded favorably to
the Governors invitation to take
part in the give-60-minutes-daily-
for-defense program. Many of the
States 100 counties, through their
boards of supervisors followed suit,
but on the northern neck, in North:
cumberland and Lancaster Counties,
no action was taken by the govern
ing boards.
The City of Alexandria, Arlington
County and Fairfax County-feeling
themselves too dependent on Wash
ington-have declared officially they
will not adopt the new schedule un-
less the District does.

A mystery story has turned up in
the middle of Harold L. Ickes' big
pretroleum-saving campaign.
The puzzle is: How much gaso-
line or oil is actually saved by
cracking down. on smoky auto
mobiles?
The question is financially impor-
tant to number of car owners.
Acting on orders of Secretary Ickes,
park police have been halting what
he calls "oil burner" autos and re-
quiring them to report to a District
inspection station. If the vehicle
inspectors decide the cars exhaust
smoke is excessive" the owner must
make repairs or stop using his auto
mobile. Frequently the alterations
cannot be made for less than $50.
Does the country get $50 worth Of
national defense by stopping one
elderly auto from blowing smoke
rings?
The Interior Department has no
statistics which would determine
this, according to the head of its
press division. No figures are avail
able there to show whether a pint
or tanker of petroleum would be
wasted in a thousand miles by a
hufing vehicle
Park police haul in the smokers,
but park police officials have no
statement on how much gas they
waste.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer is in control of inspections,
and he says nobody knows" what
quantity of gas or oil an average
smoking car will lose, but he is sure
it is excessive"
The men who slap red stickers on
windshields at the inspection sta
tions examine the cars for smoke,
but they say they could not even
give q wild guess how much pertro-
leun a car is misusing when they
order $50 worth of repairs.
Due to this human ignorance, the
buck is passed to a mechanical
gadget-a little scientific wonder
worker known as the smoke meter.
Whenever car of suspicious
character is brought in to inspec-
ton station No. l, this instrument
is hitched on to its exhaust pipe,
and the cars motor set racing While
mist pours through the smoke
meter, every one looks with respect
at the needle on its dial. If the
needle hovers over a red line, the
automobile is rejected, and protest
does no good. There is too much"
smoke and too much" wastage of
gas or oil.
