HOW COLD WAS IT?
 LAKE YOUR CHOICE

How cold was it Thursday morning Who knows? Thermometers in the city early Thursday had different stories to tell and it was hard to find two that agreed within several de- grees. In a short walk from The Bulletin office to Asylum street about four o'clock on Thursday morning we took note of the temperatures on at least fifteen different thermometers. Thy sure were a versatile lot. The first one said 10 below. we buttoned out coats around us. pulled down our caps around our ears and said Gee, but it's cold" About a hundred feet further on we looked at another, we took second look, scarcely believing our eyes. The second said ten above. It looked like we were going south fast. A little further on anoth- CT mercury met our eyes this one said it was growing colder, it regis tered ari even zero. This was the case of changeable weather for the distance along Main street.
 Our greatest surprise came when we 1 looked at a thermometer at Thames 1 square. This thermometer apparent i ly declared a strike when it reached
 g degrees above and had refused to
 go any lower. The effect on us was
 magical and we went on thinking il
 wasn't so very cold after all but when we arrived at the corner of Ann
 street we were disillusioned for this thermometer said 6 below.

 mometers you see. Garry one o1 your own.
