Numbing blasts from the frigid zone
have swept across Brattleboro with un-
interrupted fury until it has positively
become too cold to shiver and too cold
for pedestrians to see where they are
going and weather prophets predict
continuation of low temperature for
another u hours. December, 1917, will
be spread on the records as the coldest
corresponding month within the rceol-
lection of the Oldest settlers. There
have been IS mornings when the mer

Smiles which customarily beam on

of cold weather began yesterday to
fade into worried expressions as they
were unable to anywhere near cater
to the demands made upon them. One
man declared when answering a call
that he had so orders ahead As a

Mr. Gookin estimated the reading
at 60. His thermometer registers
only 80 but he measured the distance
between the 80 mark and the bulb
allowing l2 degrees for this space.
