SUMMER-TIME CHANGES.
REPAYING HALF AN HOUR.
RAILWAY TRAVELLERS' PUZZLE,
Workers on all night shifts during the coming week-end will repay with an extra half hour of labour short tinio worked when summer-time came into force on October 12. During that night, policemen, watchmen, and railwaymen brought their finishing tinio half an hour nearer by moving on their watches and clocks. Next Sunday morning they will have the molancholy task of putting their timepieces back half an hour and of carrying on unt.il tho hands show that the schedule finishing hour has arrived. Travellers by the express train from Wellington will bo able to puzzle their friends by avowing in all truthfulness that they arrived at Frankcon Junction at 3.59 on Sunday morning and continued their journey to Auckland at 3.39. In accordance with tho practice of previous years the Railway Department has decided to make the reversion to standard time, as it affects tho express, at Frankton.
