DAYLIGHT TIME 1 WILL BF. PUT IN 'EFFECT TONIGHT Tost of Large Eastern Cities to Push Clock Hands Ahead. Bp I'nitr/t Pr, . NEW YORK. April 27. Clocks and watches in many eastern and some mid-western cities will be given extraordinary exercise tonight, when, at the time of going to bed, their owners move the hands forward an hour. Actually, in most places where daylight savings time is adopted, it does not become official until 2 a. m. Sunday, but the number of persons who will stay awake until 2 to re-set thOr time-pieces is virtually negligible. This annual daylight debauch will remain effective until 2 a. m„ Sept. 29. Incidentally an hour of sleep that is lost tonight then will be regained. Daylight savings time in New’ York means that the Stock Exchange plays along with the lawmakers and that it opens at the usual time—lo a. m. That is equivalent to 8 n m. in Indianapolis. 7 a. m. in Denver and 6 a. m. in Los Angeles. Trains Will Change This will be the first year that crack limiteds between New York and Chicago change their schedules to conform with the new time. Most of the trains, except those used by commuters, however, will stick to the old schedules. The Merchants’ Association of New York, active in advocacy of daylight time, has prepared a list of the cities and states observing the changed time. It may be sumjmarized as follows: New York—Most of the large cities, including Albany, Buffalo, New Rochelle, New York city, Poughkeepsie, Rome, Schenectady, yn-titp. Plains and Yonkers. New Jersey—Most of the large eitif'-, including Atlantic City, Elizafofh, Hackensack, Hoboken, Jersey Cite, Newark, New Brunswick, Passaic, Paterson, Trenton and Weeha w ken. Law Is Disregarded Connecticut—Despite a state law that forbids clocks showing other than eastern standard time, daylight savings is observed in such large cities as Bridgeport, Hartford, Manchester. New Britain, New’ Ha'en. Norwalk, Stamford and Wateriury. Massachusetts—Entire state. Maine—Auburn, from June 15 to Sept. 15; Portland and Rockland. New Hampshire Nashua starts working day one hour earlier. Rhode Island—Entire state. Vermont—Bennington and Rutland, the latter from May 26 to Sept. 2D. Chicago on Fast Time Illinois—Blue Island, Chicago and suburbs, Chicago Heights. Evanston, Harvey, Maywood. Oak Park, Waukegan and Wheaton. Delaware—Wilmington. Indiana—Crown Point. East Chicago. Port Wayne, Garret, Gary, Hammond. Minnesota—Members of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce observe daylight saving. Ohio—Entire state on eastern standard time, which is tantamount, for cities outside of the zone, to daylight time. Pennsylvania Ambridge, Braddock, Chester, Coatcsvillc. Easton, McKeesport, Norristown, Philadelphia and suburbs, Pittsburgh and suburbs. West Chester. Canada—Halifax. Montreal, Oshawa, Ottawa. Quebec. Regima. St. John. Sherbrook. Three Rivers, Toronto and Welland.

Through the towering snowdrifts of blizzard-swept Wyoming, weary relief crews returned today with tales of the spartan courage of youth and the hardships and material toll of two day’s storms. A highway crew’ told of a woman's rescue of 10-year-old Orville Green, who was found collapse after fighting blindly through the sleet and snow. The boy was sighted by Mrs. M. F. Cross as the wind blew open the door of her home. He collapsed before she carried him into her home. Stories of Courage Only his unfailing courage kept him from certain death in the snowdrifts. The relief crews recalled the courage of many children who were trapped with their parents along the highways. Forty-three automobiles carrying children were freed after several hours imprisonment. A. A. Weatherwax was imprisoned in his truck for forty hours without food or water before highway crew’s found him. Five young men, forced to abandon their automobiles, struggled over several miles of snow drifts to reach shelter.

Ranch hands reported carcasses of cattle piled high in the snow and creeks at the Wyoming hereford ranch, southeast of here. They said melting snows threatened that section with serious flood damage.
