Change in Time Mixes Things Up Some Until Clocks Get Bearings You were one of the great majority Sunday If you were not on time to keep your engagements. No one was sure what "on time" was for every clock ran differently, and one was t to rush excitedly to catch a train at 10 o'clock, only to learn that It was really Just 9 o'clock, and there was still an hour to wait. Some of the persons who were in charge of the down-town time-pieces forgot to give them back that extra hour, and in consequence three or four different times were presented to bewilder the passersby. "One clock said 10 o'clock, another said 7:30 and my watch said 11 o'clock," said one man this morning. "It got me so mixed that. I went into a restaurant and ordered breakfast at lunch time. And then the beastly time was so confused, that I missed my train because I thought I had gained an hour instead of losing one. "But there's this consolation," he added, "I got to sleep that extra hour In the morning."
