IS YOUR CLOCK FAST?
If So, What Is the Real Advantage in
This Arrangement7

It is a common thing 10 find the clocks
in nine out OF ten households either ff-
teen minutes or half an hour fast. and
should you happen TO be in a hurry or
mention the fact that you have to be
going. you are at oncs reassul ed by the
fact that you have no cause % hurry,
as the clock is so much ahead of the
time
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it is due 10 lazi-
ness, for IL Is such satisfaction TO the
lazy man to find when he has 20 get up
at in the morning and strains his half
closed eyes TO look at the clock that II
IS a half-hOuT fast. and he has so much
more time to doze. with the result that
he o"ersleePs himself anyhow and
misses his train or boat.
Said a Walnut Street matchmaker,
when asked about the subject:
Yes, II is n peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast. and.
while there may be some satisfaction in
II when Il comes to doing a little long
CT. there IS really no advantage In II,
for when YOU wake up, say at S. and
glance at the clock. and II registers
20. the fact remains that it is a half
hour fast. While this may make you
tCel easier, knowing that you still have
thirty minutes TO doze. ] confess /
don't see much advantage in Ct.
Why not have the clock ught2 II
is the same thing in the enc.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast IS really only a
pleasant form Of deception. which people
like TO practice on themselves, but II
does more harm than good
