ST. AUGUSTINE ExPER-
FENCES FIRST SNOW FALL
In ITS HISTORY
(St. Augustine Record

st. Augustine threw off the old ira
ditions yesterday morning and en-
tered the snow belt. Old residents
and their children, grand children and
great grandchildren, awoke yesterday
morning to find a white world where
vivid green once had existed, when
they retired Saturday night. They
rubbed their eyes and then rubbed
them again as they gazed out on the
snow-covered ground. "Oh, Nam
mali exclaimed one little fellow,
come and see the grits all over the
roofs and ground" But the child
was not the only st. Augustinian to
whom snow was novelty. Many Of
the older residents who have never
wintered north of st. Augustine saw
real snow scene for the first time
in their lives yesterday morning.
Some Of them asked II 1t was real
snow and when told that It was q
genuine article they expressed them.

experience. being contented to spend
the remainder of their lives outside
Of the snow belt.
The "beautifuY fell in small flakes
and covered the ground to a depth
OF half an inch. 1t remained on the
ground throughout yesterday and to.
day, owing to the low temperature.
Freak condition of the atmosphere

broke this city's record as a snow.
less area. The drizzling rain that
was falling Saturday night did not
follow custom and discontinue when
the mercury began to drop but
changed to- snow and continued to
drop from the sky.
Cold temperatures attended the in
novation, the mercury dropping to 2s
degrees on Sunday morning. During
the afternoon the sun vainly endeav
ored to regain mastery of the situa
ton, but its feeble efforts were un
successful, although the mercury was
boosted to 80 for a few hours, and
where exposed to the sun the snow
melted little. Last night shiverine
st. Augustine retired with the convic
ton that the worst was yet to come
and their premonitions were well
founded for the mercury dropped tc
20 degrees.
It. Is impossible to estimate the
damage, but vegetables in the city
gardens look as If they had beer

is Is possible that they will survive
or that some Of the hardest varieties
Will recover from the knockout. Dr.
Garnett believes that his orange trees
have escaped serious injury, as they
have been kept in an almost dorman,
condition by the continued cold
weather. The crop, however, may
have suffered.
There was no suffering in the city
on account Of the cold, further thar

even the poorest classes to keep ger

blow from Foch elsewhere.
Such is the policy that the gen

later, he struck at Solssons again.
When the enemy resistance again

In other words, the Germans are
fast learning that there is no rest
for the weary and the wicked.
Foch is adhering 10 his policy of

when he does strike. When thy en-.

TO rush reinforccmcnts t the at

BOARD RULES IN
RAILWAYS CASE
Passengers Must Stay Off the
Front Platform: Courtesy
and No Flat Wheels

The Harrisburg Railways Com
pany was to-day directed by the
Public Service Commission in an
opinion by Chairman w. d. Ainey to
rigidly enforce the rule against per-
hitting passengers to ride on the
front platform and to issue an order
with respect to courtesy on the part
of its employees as well as to prompt
ly remove cars having fiat wheels, as
the result of complaint made last
winter by George a. Herring. Mr.
Herring, who was prominent in labor
circles, has since entered the army
and the opinion states that other
matters mentioned in his complaint
are embraced in a proceeding now
pending wherein the larger question
of service is being considered. At
tention is also called to the fact that
in incidents complained of the COM
