The Thermometer

The thermometer is literally q
heat meter. The thermometer meas
ures heat, just as the speedometer
measures speed, for "thermo-" is a
Greek combining form, meaning
heat. 1t is found in such everyday
words as thermostat "a regulator of
temperature) and thermos bottle "a
vacuum bottle which keeps liquids
hot or cold for extended periods of
time).
The world "therm" is a practical
unit equal to 1000 great calories.
Each great calorie equals 1000 small
calories, each of which will raise the
temperature of one gram Of water
one degree on the Centigrade ther-
mometer scale.

HUSKING

By Elsie Inskeep
Husking out the yellow ears
In the morning dew.
Horses, will you ever know
How we work for you?
Cows, prepare to brim your pals,
While we husk away.
Hasten, hens, to seek your nests,
Give us eggs today.
Fattening hogs will do their part
GOrging without fear,
Nothing warns their sluggish brain.
That their hour is near.
All the stock must have their corr
When the ground is white,
Husking in the waning day
Through the sunset light.
Working through the golden hours
Each Indian Summer day
Ere ice and snow arrive, the crop
Must be stored away.

BOYS CLUB WINS
 SLOW ENCOUNTER
Torrinston AlpiDs Ddatsd- R6dTS Win Fifth Staieht

A lay-off of two weeks slowed up the Boys club basketball team but it had enough left to detest the Ter- rington Alpines by 34-:7 in . slow game at the local club last night The boys appeared tired and seemed to be showing the s6ects of New Years sleeplessIess, lacking their usual pep and dash and going through the game in . mechanical fashion. The off night came. luckily. against an inferior team and the club never lost the lead which 1t a. stunned in the first minute of play.
 This lead materialised on foul losses by Goffa and Kley and then Goffa made the first field goal of the game. Lawton scored for Torring- ton. but Kley tipped in his only basket of the game and Goffa and Grusha brought the tally up to 9-2. Hull and O'Donnell brought the AL pines close again. yet the club ral- lied once more and led by 1t-s at the quarter. This period had been very fast, but with the start of the second session the locals tired and the game became quite uninterest- ing.
 Captain Nick Gill appeared on the floor for the second time this year as this period opened. There was lit. tie scoring and the halftime rest found the count at 19-1 Tn the third quarter the game nearly result ed in stalemate. six minutes and ten seconds being consumed in fruitless shutting back and forth before a score was made. Then Hull came down fast to sink shot from the floor. An instant later Gill made good . foul effort for his first score of the season and followed 1t up with his initial field goal. The score was 26-16 at the quarter. Torrington ral- lied several times in the final period but it's long shots did not go in often enough to close the gap more than three points.
 Joe Goffa. starting at forward and shifting to center, led the home team with eight points. while Benjamin disclosed unsuspected scoring power and came up the floor frequently to make three field goals in addition to free shot. Gill played a remark ably nice game after his long lay- off. being in every play and demon- strating that he has not lost his fast and shifty floor work.
 kley had bad night and loafed through it in comic fashion until he was taken out. Hull, the visiting center. played . nice all around game. he. O'Donnell and Lawtou sinking some spectacular goals dee. pite the close guarding of the New Britain defense men. The summary:

HUGG|NS TO ADD
 NO NEW PLAYERS
No Nod Ssa to Stashn
 Lineup Of New York Yankees

New York, Jan , R-lt looks like a prosperous New Year for Miller Huggins' well known hired hands-and : tough one for the rest of the American league.
 The Christmas season brought Higgins no presents in the shape of bigger and better ball players. probably because it was rather gen. orally known that he had enough stock on hand to last him one more season at least.
 Since the, Yankees swept through the American league to a cham pionship last fall and then dusted off the Pittsburgh Pirates in four straight games to prove their right to top baseball ranking. Huggins' negotiations to add strength" to his club have been met with a stern and rockbound silence on the part of rival managers.
 Except for . shake-up in his pitching corps. Higgins hasn't done much with his championship ma- chine. Reports are that the Yankees have obtained title. under cover. to the crack keystone combination of tho Oakland club of the Pacific Coast league. Lyn Lary and Andy Reese. If they have been purchased i it is probably for futrue delivery. i The Yankees are pretty we'll forti- fled around the middle bag Gpow with Lazzeri and Koenig
 The only major addition to the club since the season closed is Stanley Coveleskie, veteran spitball twirler who was let out by Wash- ington last season.
 Higgins has disposed of three pitchers. Bob Shawkey. Dutch Rue- ther and Joe Girard. besides Ray Merchant. utility inflelder Rumor says Urban Shocker, another vet eran hurler. is slated for a new berth next summer.
 Without these, Huggins still has q pitching staff of parts. The re- lease of Ruether and Girard leaves Herb Pennock as the sole left handler among the moundsmen, but at B, the willowy southpaw still ranks among the games greatest pitchers. The right handlers include Wiley Moore, sensation of the 1927 season, George Pipgras. Waite Hoyt. Walter Beall and Myles Thomas.
 The rest of the club has a per- manent aspect. The infield combina- tion of Gehrig, Lazzeri. koenig and Jumping Joe" Duggan is expected to start the 1928 race although Dugan's aging legs may make nec- essary a change at the hot corner. Mike Gazella and Vera are the re- servists.
 With Ruth. Meusel and Combs as regularB and Ben Paschal and Ced- ric Durst ready for the well-known emergency. the outheld posts are adequately taken care of.
 The catching, according to pres ent indications. again will be in the hands of Pat Collins. Benny Ben gough and John Grabowski.

 The Reserve showed some pretty passing. with Zujko and Mirigliani leading the attack from the floor and doing some excellent work from the 15-foot strip. Between them they made 10 out of II tries.

With as pretty an exhibition of passing as has been seen here. Boucher and Alexander took the ball again and scored New Britain's second point before the period ended.
 Boucher put one in to stay in the third and 1t is doubtful if Jette saw the ball go by him. Alexander had an 'out" in this frame but with Boucher'e aid he sent another in to stay.
 It is impossible to describe justly the great play of the New Britain team in this game. Waterbury is considered the fastest combination in the league, but speed alone count ed nothing against the New Britain demons last night. The contest was a classic by two teams of artists. The summary:
