END OF DAYLIGHT RIVING Saturday night daylight saving will edme to an end in New Jersey for this season. The people of such municipalities as have adopted the plan have greatly enjoyed the extra hour of sunshine, but the days are rapidly shortening, and most of us will be as pleased to have the clocks ret back again to standard time as we were in April to have them moved forward. Notwithstanding the general adoption of daylight saving in the East there has been considerable confusion by reason of tbe refusal of the railroads to change their time table*.
