PITTSBURGH, Jan. 1o.-The
father Of daylight saving time"
once bitterly opposed to year.
around extension OF his pet plan,
now is willing to go along with
the President"
Robert Garland, whose campaign
was largely responsible for adoption
of daylight saving time in the
United States during the first World
War, said:
I'm not particularly stuck on
daylight saving time around the
calendar, but war makes differ
ence I'll cheerfully go along with
the President. Extension of the
plan will save millions of dollars
by conserving coal and electricity"
In Washington, the House Of
Representatives has passed bill
providing for daylight saving time
and the Senate has approved a
measure authorizing President
Roosevelt to advance the clock as
much as two hours whenever he
sees fit. A conference committee
is expected to effect compromise
plan.
Last fall when State and sectional
daylight saving time ended for the
summer, Mr.. Garland declared:
ITO extend daylight saving time
beyond September % wouldn't be
daylight saving time. 1t would be
foolish. 1t would make everybody
sore. We only want it in the sum-
mertime."
But the silver haired. ruddy-faced
industrialist and political leader de-
clared today that things are diff
ferent since Pearl HarbOr. He
pointed out that daylight saving
time would be an advantage in case
Ct blackouts. He said workers would
have an extra hour before darkness
to get home and would be less likely
to be caught in an air raid.

Written by Louis Verneui, who is
q sort Of Noel Coward with French
dressing, THE King" is as saucy
q piece of satire as could have been
nourished in the France of 1888
when it was made. M. Verneuil's
feeling about kings, politicians and
their ladies in waiting, and too i'm
patient to be kept waiting, was
highly mocking and irreverent. To
show how he felt about them, he
dashed off story of a monarch (of
Cerdania) who goes to Paris osten-
sibly to negotiate trade treaty but
rather more enthusiastically because
he cannot forget the charm of Paris
women.
His dealings, Of course, are with
the Quai DOrsay but he is far too
suave to come any closer to it than
the most promising contiguous bou-
doir. Diplomacy Is much more
amusing that way.

are numerous other passages, one of
which Is that in which Raimu as
host to the king tells his socially
naive wife and daughter Just what
degree OF warmth should be shown
to guests at their first great party.
Nothing could be funnier unless
possibly that sequence in which
the king, wandering exploratorily
