summoned, and horses have died asi
though stricken by a plague. New
York factories have been closed. and
outdoor workers have been compelled
to drop their tools and find shelter DUR
ing the hours when the sun was at its
height. Particularly among policemen
ana letter carriers has the suffering
been intense, and many have been
compelled to stop work. Along the
business streets men have walked with
umbrellas over their heads with COATS
