 Saving Season Being Over


 Saving Season Being Over Du ttc day after tomorrow, on Sun .re. October 21, the clocks and watches tr Phoenix in company with all the others iu the country are to be turned Ials ono hour. The hour which the people lost seven months ago, on Sun day. March 3l. will be recovered and rrc United States will proceed on the old original time as it was before day Irlt saving" was inaugurated.
 The official hour for thus turning hack the watches and clocks has been ..- af - o'clock Sunday morning, but probably the change will be made in most cases. as it was last March, on t.t Saturday evening preceding.
 Has Been Success.
 Tho general expression of the people .. that the daylight saving act has ..Iu a success. but many are of the opinion that the change back to the .-rIraI tune should have been made r.. 8rst sunday in october instead .r tHa I5st For the past two or three ..a.b- daylight hardly has arrived -H.n tne hands of the clock showed o'clock and Co the many people who won't to work at that hour 1t seemed rH.'v oarlv.
 rl, eytrl hour enjoyed by the people .HranrUoat the country after working hours became popular at once. It was especially enjoyed hy those who had rlare m which to work, or who lived r away from their regular places of employment. So popular did the new tm. become that there was serious ..t of continuing 1t throughout the winter and until the war is over.
 Decide to Change Back.
 Tho matter was put up to the legis- .IIts bodies at Washington, the main lHm being that with clocks ahead one rn.r thrro would be less fuel used by fHr people and the factories. But the proposal Co keep the clocks ahead was voted down and october 27 was de- rIotd as t1e official day for setting the .Io-ks back for the winter months. Among tho arEumentive and critical minded there has long been the ques- ton. will that hour lost when the clocks were set ahead last spring ever te made up1 The question will be an -rCrti next sunday morning. Peo- l.r ul SO Co bed Saturday night by N.II.| anu MaNt up hN sun llIllt. They win get one hour more sleep, if tOr wish 70 remain in bed or they may got up md work, thus making -. trat hour they lost last spring.
 Step the Clocks Instead.
 Rot -hc careful about clocks" is the warning that comes from the National Association of Watchmakers. The uatrtmakcrs warn everybody not to r.t tfe.r clocks or watches back, as such an act may break or injure the rmrrIcoo. Instead the watchmakers .HrIsr Cycrg body to stop his or her watch or clock for one hour It is cx- rtr0I that watches or clocks may be ... ahead without injury, but that they cannot ac set back without injury.
