WILSON SIGNS
DAYLIGHT BILL
Clocks to Be Moved Forward
One Hour This
Month
Washington, March 19—
The daylight bill was signed
today by President Wilson. It
puts all clocks forward one
hour on the last Sunday in
March and turns them back
again the last Sunday in Oc
tober.
The daylight saving plan
will go into effect and be ob
served without the slightest
disorganization or impairment
of existing conditions. Trains
will run as usual and every
feature of daily life into which
the element of time enters will
remain unchanged.
Before retiring on the last
Saturday of this month the
American householder will set
his clock ahead an hour and
then may go to sleep and for
get entirely about daylight
saving until the last Saturday
in October. On that date he
will reverse the process, turn
ing back the hands of the
clock an hour and the next
day the nation again will run
on “sun” time.
In the summer the Ameri
can man actually will rise,
transact his daily business and
retire an hour earlier that has
been his custom, but with his
clock an hour fast, he will not
know the difference.
The plan’s practibility and
efficiency have been effective
ly demonstrated in 12 Euro
pean countries.
Advocates of the plan in
presenting their case to Con
gress explained that the fol
lowing beneficial results will
be achieved:
