( The; railroads are moving to have i a new standard - of time adopted that will soon throw us into the big figures, and to see a man pull out his watch at noon and say "it's 24 o'clock' will be no unusual thing. The theory is the establishment of a "time start dard," as the railroad men term it, to be put into operation on the railroads in -the country. The proposed standard v-would simply add the hours after midnighr to 12, so that 11 o'clock in1 the morning would be 23 o'clock, and noon would be 24 o'clock. The dials of clocks would be made into twenty-four divisions of time, and the troublesome A." M. . and PiM. would be. avoided. Uni- movement of trains in all part of the country is one of the greatest advantages claimed for the ; iie standard, and a simplification of tim tables that the public would be quick to recognise and appre ciate would ' follow. jWiBn in ton tleview Winston, N.
