STANDARD Time Will Return
ToCopitoI at ? AN. Sunday

Time, which usually waits for
no man, will hang around an
extra hour tomorrow night.
The reason is the annual re-
conversion from daylight to
standard time, which simply
means that people who live by
the clock will turn the hands of
same back an hour.
Most immediate effect will be
an additional hour of sleep for
sluggards, an hours extra walk
ing for somnambulists or another
hour Of tossing for insomniacs
Exact moment of the return
to normalcy is 2 am. Sunday,
but most clock-watchers, indi-
vidual and wholesale, will twist
the hands earlier.
For example, the Governments

trally controlled, will be tick

workers resume their tasks Mon

1000 timepieces also will be
pushed back automatically.

summer by terminal clocks that

50 More Teachers
Needed. in CoIored
Schools, Official Says
BY james 6. Deone

Assistant School Supt. Harold
A. Haynes today said the Dis
trict's colored schools need Sc
more teachers Immediately.
The extra teachers are needed
to meet an Unexpectedly large
colored enrolment increase. 1t
was disclosd yesterday that the
white teacher force may have to
be reduced again-as it was a
year ago-to provide The colored
division with the extra salary
money.
Negro enrolment has jumped
4,096 this fall and Is already
more than 200 ahead of the to-
tai which had been expected a
month from now.
But a sharper drop in white
enrolment than expected also is
figuring in the teacher -shuffling
plans. White pupils so far tally
1922 fewer than the total a wear
ago.
DR.. Haynes said he needs II
teachers for senior highs, 10
for vocational highs, IA for jun
ior highs and about is for grade
schools.
Most Of the colored pupil in
f1ux has hit the grade schools,
but specialized class organization
on the higher levels requires ex-
ira teachers, even though en-
rollment in some colored junior
and senior highs. has dropped
slightly, DR.. Haynes said.
Cardozo. Armstrong and Dun
bar High Schools have lost pu-
pills. Spingarn. however, has
AIS more.
Officials expected a margin of
about 1000 colored pupils over
white this fall. But the gap
now is nearly 10000,
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing said he believes late-enter-
ing white pupils may reduce the
colored margin somewhat by late
next month.
School officials are trying to
find out where the new colored
pupils have come from. DR.
Corning said it's possible some
have come here in search of bet
ter schools than those in the
deep South.

Citizens Will Plead Monday for Renovated Alley Homes

and in 1906 Congress tried to
dignity the structures by con-
verting the alleys into streets.
In 1917, the alley-into-street
project was abandoned and oc-
cupancy of such housing was
outlawed, effective after 1918.
A court ruling voided the 1917
law and it was not until 1884
when the housing authority was
created that the problem was
attacked again. This law per-
mitted alley dwellings to remain
for 10 years. but since the 10th
year came in the midst of the
wartime housing shortage, en-
forcement was postponed for two
one-year periods.
