WAR Time NOW
STANDARD Time
Manufacturers AssOcia-
ton Points Out No Eff
feet on Working Laws

The new War Time which re-
quired the advance of all timepieces
by one hour at 200 a. m. today is
TO be considered as the Standard
Time in its application to all statutes
governing working hours, according
TO memorandum just released by
the Manufacturers Association Of
Connecticut to its members. The
memorandum says ir part: There
have been a number of inquiries
concerning the effect of the new
War Time on the statutes limiting
the night hours of work of women
and minors and on any suspension
or extension of such hours. In view
of the fact that the War Time is to
be the Standard Time the statutes
making reference to Standard Time
hours will be construed to refer to
the new War Time hours. (This is
different from the situation in con-
nection with Daylight Saving Time
during the spring and summer since
that change is not change in
Standard Time. Any suspension or
extension Of the night limitation
that may have been granted to in
dividual employers will be fully
transferable to the new War Time
War Time will cease to be effective
six months after the termination of
the present war"
1t is anticipated that the change
to Daylight Saving Time normally
made effective in the Spring by
proclamation in various states will
be made again this year, thus adj
vancing the time another hour
ahead of the present Standard or
War Time.

umnists today are neither Germans,

Doubly dangerous because unsus-
pected, they are Stealthily under

These sinister activities are di
rected by one of the Orient's most

which, unsupported, has come to
America from the Philippines.
There, as the "Sakdalistas," they
have agitated against American
influence and against Common
wealth President Manuel Quezon
and all other Filipino leaders, ia
voring a sort of anarcho-commun-
ism.
They have caused riots and
bloodshed. Recently their leader,

Now, THE Gang" is disclosed as

1t seems there is a great shortage
of materials for buttons, especially
Australian shell. The manufacturers
are using buttons made from Pine
Tree cones and enjoying the novel

baby cones used whole. They have
been treated in one of many ways
that appeal to style creators. These
natural products can be dyed, paint
ed or shellaced. They will be dis
played soon on coats. Other buttons
are made of wood in many designs

found at Hotel Taft tap room,
where Charlie Drew entertains with
line that was not intended for
children though youngish audience
clusters about the main tables, all
willing to lend their hands and
voices to the evenings fun. 1t is one
of those places where the crowd is
moving in and out all the time. If
the place happens to be crowded,
the party can notify the head wait
er who will temporarily seat the
merrymakers in the big tap room
outside and as soon as a table is re-
leased, will take care of the change

There is no core, no minimum, no

to drop in often and hear some OF

According to advance reports the

laughs are doubled and the fun is
quadrupled, so better be prepared
to laugh, laugi, and laugh.
"Hellzapoppin',' boasts many new

choruses together with a score of
unexpected innocations are declared
to surpass the many highlights of

Included in the tune list are

A LITTLE SHOCK

At seven fifty-eight this morning
! was just a-resting
In my favorite little room.
I'm sure I felt shake
And a rafting very soon.
At first l just a-Wondered
Had anything gone wrong
With Old Mother Earth of ours,
While rolling round so long.
And then it seemed to me impossible
That an earthquake should come here
And jar this little earthly sphere,
Our precious home SO dear.
And then ] looked around.
And saw the snow once more.
IT seemed to cover all the ground,
That's seen from shore TO shore.
But that little shock,
/ felt this very morning,
May come back again
Without a bit of warning
But we have no fear of snow,
It's very easily pushed aside
So we can go out of doors again
And take another ride.

SONG OF SONGS

Who's going to write our first war song?
Who's going compose the jazz ding-dong?
Words tell of events occurring,
Marching strains usually stirring.
Song writer's like to dash OFF air,
Often written with very little care,
Militant ones just bit scare-y,
Well never get second "T1pperary."
An original ditty with lots of noise
Is usually the aim OF the Tin Pan Alley boys.
Words and music may get folks goin,
But won't the punch of George M. Conan
Who's going to write good song?
don't feel time tunes belong
Maybe the stuff will simply fail
For we still remember THE Long Long Trail"
What's the good of a song, Buddy?

fine inspiring song that just spells peace! EN- EN-
