Fifty Million Americans Will Observe Fast Time (Continued from page One) herds. Cows, it seems, give less milk when their milking schedules are changed. Big city workers as a rule like daylight time for it gives them an additional hour of sunlight after a day at the office or plant. In Nevada, gamblers vainly opposed its adoption on the ground that citizens would spend extra hours outdoors when they could be start ing on night life rounds. Some confusion seemi almost certain to arise out of railroad schedules. Most roads will cling to standard time but others will oper ate on the new time. Radio networks will use the same system adopted last year, switch ing their major shows in the east to daylight time. Network stations in the south and west will be per mitted to rebroadcast them an hour later if they wish, so that listeners in the areaa can hear them, at the usual time. At MODERN FURNITURE ...
