In 1918, in the year that Lorraine A Perlman was born, following European countries, Daylight Saving Time went into effect in the United States in March.

It returned during World War II.

In 1925, when she was only 7 years old, gangster Al "Scarface" Capone took over the Chicago bootlegging racket at age 26.

The Allies didn't want this to happen again and the Marshall Plan was devised to make sure that those conditions didn't arise again.
