heretofore. the difference Is made up
In the afternoon when the employees
gain an hour and a quarter more day
light for amusement or recreation
Up at the Publn Building was
some mix-up today. All OF the city
offices are operating under The new
lime and so are a fcW Of those at the
county end OF tie building, but sew
cral OF the county Offices are stul
operating under standard time The
clocks in the corridor at both city
and county ends have been moved up

man TO step from the corridor into
The Recorder Of Deeds Oillce and

that every one begin the days work
by standard time and quit by city

much favor
In the center Of the city today most
OF the clocks marked new tlme,' haV-

government was prONerbially slow in
It's legal processes, legislation and
mails, anyhow and an hour wouldn't
be noticed.
Many Of the self-windlng clocks In
the restaurants and other places OF
/ business were corrected today up to
the new time. In some cases the own
ers or employees of the places in'which
/ the clocks are Installed turned The
hands ahead themselves. In others,
| Western Union workers turned the
| clocks ahead on request of the sub
scribers for the timepieces. The Y "

winders which asked that the clock be
turned ahead
Western Union officials warned
against attempting TO set the clocks
back on September 26 when the day
/ llght saving periods ends, as such an
action is likely TO dlsarrange the
mechanism. 10 was better. they eX-
| plalned, 30 stop the clocks for
an hour than 10 turn back the hands
This plan also applies to all other
| clocks. whether self-winder, eight
day, twO-day or one.
