But what We had started to talk
about is that system of time saving
which was started last spring, when
clocks and watches were all set
ahead one hour,
There were folks who thought it
would demoraize everything, and
turn the world topsy turvy, and all
sorts of objections were offered to 1t.
And not one Of the inconvenience
predicted ever came To pass.
Everybody had the same time, and
there was no inconvenience what
ever, and the general public did not
stop to consider what tremendous
saving in daylight they were uncon-
seiously making
Now the time is approaching when
the process Is to be reversed. Oct.
II, all clocks and watches are to be
stopped for one hour. People are
advised that they must not turn the
hands back for an hour, for so much
trouble would result that there are
not enough repair men to fix the
tlmepleces.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company suggests that while it is
all right to stop clocks and watches
Tor one hour, the difficulty would be
TO start them on time, and says the
better plan would be to turn the
hands around eleven hours.
The change Is to be made at 2 a. m.
Oct. 81.
