PLANS OF THE RAILROADS

When you wind the clock and putt
cut the cat and do the other Satur-
day night chores this evening don't
forget that tomorrow morning at
o'clock comes the precise psychological
moment when all good citizens must
turn the hands of their timepieces
ahead one hour.
That is the minute when, it has been
decreed. daylight saving is to go into
effect again in New York city and
practically all surrounding communi-
ties. For persons who are not en-

Plans of the Railroads.
If you use in your business steam rail-
road trains, cut this out and paste it in
your hat:
The Lackawanna. Lehigh Valley and
Erie railroads announce that while their
through trains will operate on Eastern
standard time their local and suburban
trains will be moved on daylight saving
time schedules.
All trains leaving the Grand Central
Terminal, whether over the lines of the
New York Central or the New York,
New Haven and Hartford, will use
standard time, but local trains will be
moved ahead on the schedules one hour,
so that they will conform actually to the
daylight saving time registered by your
clocks and watches. The Central Rail-
road of New Jersey will follow the same
plan.
The Pennsylvania system will run
Long Island Railroad trains on daylight
saving time, but all other Pennsylvania
trains, whether through or suburban and
local, will continue to be operated on
standard time.
The Postal Telegraph and Western
Union telegraph companies will continue
10 use standard time.
In this city subway and elevated rail-
road schedules will shift to daylight saw
ing time simultaneously at o'clock to-
morrow morning, when an electric gong
signal will sound the exact moment along
the entire lines. Notices to that effect
were posted in subway trains yesterday.
