THINLY-CLAD MEN
ON LONG, COLD RIDE
Sight of Load of Recruits for American
Realty Co. Causes Local Persons
to SILVER in Sympathy.

Peeping over the tops of muffiers on
Their way to work this morning Brat
tleboro people shivered svmpatheticallv
at the sight of 90 or more men, most of
them thinly clad, loaded into a four
horse sleigh bound northward. A few
OF the men had wooden caps, but most of
them were equipped with headgear to-
tally inadequate to withstand the pierre
ing effects OF 20-below-zer6 weather.
One man shivering in a light overcoat
wore a derby hat, beneath which was
tied handkerchief.
Inquiry developed the information
that the men were recruits for the
forces of the American Realty Co..
which is operating extensively in the
woods about Jamaica, and that they
were starting on sleigh ride of some
thing over 20 miles Nobody interfered
with the project, due probably to the
fact that the agent for the society with
long name was not aware of it,

SEVEN RULES FOR GOLFERS
Harry Vardon Gives Cardinal Points
to Devotees of Links-keep
the Head Steady.

Seven cardinal rules for golfers, as
set down by the famous Harry Var
don, are as follows:
/. Keep the head steady and do
not let the left heel turn outward
then the body can only wind up when
the arms go back.
2. Grip firmest with the thumbs
and forefngers-they are not so well
adapted as the other fingers to the
purpose of taking a strong hold, and
they are the most important of all for
the purpose Of the golf grip.
B. Let the club-head lead the left
wrist turning inward, the arms follow
Ing the club-head and the right hip
screwing next.
4. Don't throw the arms forward
as you start to come down as though
You were moving grass. Rather

ONE OF COOLEST
WINTER MORNINGS
Minimum Reading at F. r. Vaughan S
was 21-Groundhog Probably
Frozen if He Came Out.

IL the grounding got up before
breakfast this morning preparatory to
searching for his shadow he is probably
still up, for 1t Is inconceivable that any
creature of his habits could brave a
temperature of 20 degrees below zero
without freezing to death Hence the
question whether or not winter is to
take another flight is still unset
tied.
As a matter of fact it was one of
the coolest mornings of this cold win
ter. r K. Vaughan s standard record
ing thermometer showed a minimum
reading Of p degrees below zero-with-
III six degrees of the record established
Jan but under the impetus Of a
south wind the mercury began an up
ward journey soon after sunrise.
For further particulars concerning
the effects of such weather on local
people it is only necessary to look back
through The Reformer files and read
Of other cold mornings that have been
encountered since Thanksgiving.
Mr.. Vaughan s records show that
there were II days in January when
the mercury dropped below the zero
point. Mr.. Vaughan meteorological
record for January is as follows:
perature-Highest, As l2th).
Lowest, 81 (2d). Mean maximum.
