CLOCKS PUT BACK.
END OF SUMMER TIME. CHANGE MADE YESTERDAY.. The warm summer weather yesterday inviting'everyone to the open air sjemed somewhat out of keeping with the official ruling that summer time ended at 2 a.m. Outdoor sports of every kind enjoyed ;lie extra half-hour of daylight on Saturday for the last time this season. It was on October 11 that the variation from standard time was made and many will regret that the proposal to delay putting the clock back until after Easter ramo to nothing. Altering the clock during the night hours has the practical effect, of shortening the time of rest by half an hour at the beginning of the season, but the lost half-hour was faithfully repaid this week-end when mor.t people found an extra half-hour in bed yesterday morning very welcomeWorkers whose business kept, them on duty throughout Saturday night looked at, it from a different point of view, as their hours of labour were extended, but when the clocks were put on in October they had the privilege of working a short shift.
The public is becoming more accustomed year by year to making the change between standard and summer time and very few mistakes were recorded yesterday.
