Correct Time, Please?

"HERE was day in many if not all American
cities when any one could take down 'tele-
phone receiver and get from central" the correct
time 1t was a great convenience, but to the tele-
phone companies it became great nuisance that
il was stopped 1t was part of their contracted
service. Now IL any one remote from public
clock, wishes to be sure OF the correct time, and
who does not, there is Of information that
is free and at the public's service. g..
For this reason plan recently proposed to fill
this really "long felt want will be universally
welcomed. 1t comes from the lately organized
Neurological Institute and makes it worth while to
look up the name in the dictionary and learn to
pronounce it, 1t is sufficient excuse, indeed, for
another institute" which is not a penal organiza-
ton though it aims to make the populace mark
time" ,t. s>g's 81. p ....
To promote this objective 1t proposes that all
electric light services shall at uniform hour. ind-
cate to all their patrons the exact time, that all
watches and clocks may day be corrected
and their gains or losses in each "a hours be
known, The proposal is that at eight O'Clock each
evening, by simply throwing a switch in the dis
trbuting plants all electric lights shall be dimmed
for moment. for one or two seconds.
One man by one simple act could in this way
serve hundreds, or thousands, Of patrons 1t would
come at no expense to any one, yet would be OF
very great value to all The very broad extent OF
electricity for lighting would take this time cor
rection to the great majority of homes. II would
repay the service corporations for the minimum OF
trouble by new inducement to be their patrons.
1t would introduce itself. In fact, so simple and
so needed service would seem assured merely by
the suggestion. a

was the American share in the strife for victory!
In April 1917, when the United States entered the

~ went down in the records a few days ago
when Judge Kennesaw Mountain Lands,
who holds Federal court in Chicago said that the
best citizen on earth would lie, cheat and steal
under certain conditions Judge Lands has made
great reputation as urist, wise and sedate.
1t is presumed that he knows what he is talking
about But If 1t is true that the best citizen on
earth will lie, cheat and steal it seems that very
little religion exists in the world, for all three
offenses are defiant of the laws of God.
The conditions under which Judge Lands said
our best citizens will lie, cheat and steal are those
concerning bootleg. Before the court was Pull

quarts of high-powered booze. The colored de-

believed his story the court fined him $500 and
