Board Rooms Shift
With Stock EXCHANGE
To Earlier Hours
By Edword c. Stone

New York Stock Exchange offices
In this city went on daylight time
today, quotations on the translux
starting at 8 am, Washington time.
The exchange will close daily at 2
pm, except on Saturdays when
trading ends at IL.
Should Washington adopt daylight
time as a result of Congressional
action, tie boardrooms here will
automatically go back to the 10 to
3 schedule.
Many regular customers missed
the early opening. Trading was
light at the start. Otherwise the
shift was made without incident.
Several Offices here moved their
clocks forward to daylight saving
time as they did last summer.
Brokers are enthusiastic over the
change as they like to get out earlier
in the afternoon. The New York
Curb and many other national ex-
changes also adopted their earlier
time today. There is lot of inter-
est in the Washington offices in all
these markets.
The Washington Stock Exchange
remains on standard time, meeting
daily at l1:15.

points out that although many of

tribute to the modern holiday

Montgomery SideIights

Those who buy their Christmas
trees, holly and other greens are
missing half the joys of the sea-
son. We skipped church Sunday
morning to tramp through woods
and fields in search of decorations,
and skipped party in the after
noon while we put them up and
trimmed the outdoor tree.
Was it not Martin Luther who
said "God writes the gospel, not
in the Bible alone, but on the trees
and flowers and clouds and
stars? Certainly it does ones
soul good to walk in the woods,
and few of us think of doing it in
the winter.
The woods are full of color,
leaves still cling to the oaks, the
dogwood is in full glory of red
berries, even the dried grasses and
Broom sedge" carry color, which
contrasts beautifully with the va
rious greens of the pines and ce-
dars - the groundpine and holly.

A youth clearing" arrangement
under which young Danes will be
exchanged for the youth of other
countries during the spring and
summer of this year has been
reached by the Danish Youth Hos
tel Association.
The arrangement, which has
been evolved with view to en-
abling the youth of the various
nations to travel abroad despite
foreign currency problems, will
apply to Denmark on one hand
and to England, France, Sweden
and Norway on the other
Each young Dane wishing to go
abroad will pay the expenses of a
youth visiting Denmark in return
for similar facilities granted him
in the country to which he is 60
ing.
To simplify the practical side of
this exchange, special travel cou-
pons will be issued to pay for ship
and train fares, and board and
lodging. In addition, each youth
will be allowed small amount of
pocket money. In the case of
young Danes going to England
this will be So for a two-week trip
TIL total cost of two weeks in
| England will be about $50.
Specially low fares have been
obtained for the assage-some-
what at the cost of comfort, but
these trips are not intended to be
luxury cruises. They are primarily
aimed at enabling young people to
satisfy their desire to see some
thing of the outside world at a cost
within their means.
A special travel agency known
as the Youth Travel Agency has
been officially approved to deal
with arrangements under this
scheme and anticipates no lack of
Danish applicants - for thousands
of young Danes, hemmed in thru
seven years of war, are longing to
get abroad this year,
The main difficulty, this agency
believes, will be finding sufficient
foreigners in the countries to
which the Danes want to go, who
want to visit Denmark. In col
liberation with the Danish Youth
Hostel Association, an office has
been opened in London. and it is
estimated that at least 1000
French youths will want to visit
Denmark this summer.
Nevertheless, this is not suffi-

Shortages Hinder
Norway Recovery

OSLO--fmmedlate shortages Of
tin for use in transformers now
under construction threaten to
slow the whole reconstruction pro-
gram, according to a recent Oslo
report. A Norwegian Ministry of
Commerce representative revealed
in a recent interview that all at
tempts to procure the needed
material had failed up to the pres
ent time. Construction of trans
formers for the new Hol hydro
electric project which it is hoped
will be producing 10000 XIV by
the end of 1913 will hinge on re-
ceipt of the needed tin within the
coming month An official of the
Norwegian Per Mure Works where
the generator is under construc-
ton has noted that 13 tons have
been received from the us. and
that another 20 tons has been
promised from Belgium. This, how
ever. is insufficient by far to meet
tbs plants needs of 60-70 tons of
tin per month.
This and other plants are now
constructing heavy transformers
ion electric projects the country
over on which large part of the
Norwegian reconstruction pro-
gram indirectly depends. Ready
built transformers may be pur-
chased abroad, but willingness to
sell tin required for home produc-
ton is another story.

problems. Then, in the upheava last fall all this record
of sanity and decency government seemed to have been
swept into the discard.
Election of Charles Savage to Congress and the tl1
umpha return of progressive principles in Southwest
Washington would wipe out much of the disgrace suf
fered by Democrats of the state when temporarily be-
guied by Republican doubetak too many of fundamental
progressive mind crossed and gave victory the
COP.
There are of course most tangible why a
face Democratic face should appear in delegation in
Congress- The matter of Interior Department appropra
tions cuts WILL in all probability remain to be settled when
the Third District congressman takes his seat If that
