Conflicting Precedents Established as
to Just When Is the Legal
Moment.

The courts of several states have
dealt with an odd question, none Of
them agreeing upon similar answer.
When is it legally noon? Fire insur-
ance policies expire at noon and the
word is admitted to mean exactly IL
o'clock, midday. But standard time
has not been adopted in all communi-
ties. Many small towns cling to sun
time, which may be from a few min
utes to nearly an hour earlier than
standard.
In one state a fire occurred at two
minutes past noon, sun time, and the
insurance company held that thu poll
cy had expired before the fire. Sun
time is used In that town, but the In
sured sued the company, holding that
local customs did not rule the policy
and that he was entitled to his insur-
ance. The state courts sustained him.

ton was taken to the courts and Just
