 New Britain sweltered, perspired, and groaned all day Monday and all night Monday night under tempera- lures that ranged from 9S early in the afternoon until sunrise this morning, when the thermometers recorded between so and S4. The shower last night brought little re- lief, but when the relief eventually came about o'clock this morning the thermometers dropped about 15 degrees.
 Today, at 1So'clocll this noon. the reading of. the thermometer on the Herald building roof stood at ex- actly 90 degrees. The sky was overcast and there was a breeze.

 CITY GOLF COURSE Rutherford Seeks Zohe Chance
 for Adjoining Territory WOULD BAR INDUSTRIES
District Covered in Petition is Larg- est for Which Change Has Ever Been Requested-Hopes to Pre- serve Residential Character,

Building Inspector A. N. Ruther- ford today took steps to protect three boundaries of the municipal golf course from the invasion of uses allowed in industrial areas Ly petitioning the common council for a zone change involving a strip of land more than a mile long and 500 feet wide.
 Before filing his petition, which is the first originating in the office of the building inspector and which covers the widest territory embraced in a communication to the board of adjustment since zoning went in.o effect here, Rutherford conferred with Park Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood and Mayor Quigley.
 His petition, which will be refer red by the common council to the board of adjustment, reads as fol- lows:-
 ITO His Honor, the Mayor, and the Members of the Common Coun- cil:-
 "The undersigned begs leave to petition your honorable body for change of zone from industrial 10 Residence A, from a. line forming continuation of Barbour road, east erly to the Newington town line, 500 feet wide, and northerly to the town line, the effect of this change being the elimination of the strip of indus trial zone area running about one mile between these points at width of 500 feet.
 This area, now classed as indus trial, runs to the town line on the east and on the north. The munich pal golf course extends through a portion of the district in a manner which forms northerly, easter!y and southerly boundary open for in- dustrial purposes. The land has had little development to date and the structures now standing are almost entirely those permitted in Resi- dence A districts. No industrial uses have been installed to date. - The fact that the municipal golf course and the city park which will eventually result from the agreement with MT. and Mrs. A. w. Stanley may have very unsatisfactory boundaries unless a zone change is effected prompts me to present this

HIKES $500 MILES

 Of Experiences
MOVIE COWBOYS VANISHED
Wanderer Says Western Girls Wear Oyeralls and Pajamas-Finds No Difficulty in Earning His Expenses Along Route.

Starting from home without a cent, Carl A. Berg, 19 year old boy, who walks with a limp and resides with his parents at 199 Jubilee street, travelled 5000 miles to Wyoming and back, hitch hiking all the way. He reports having had a good time and unusual and pleasant experiences and having met with considerable kind ness and courtesy on the road.
 As Told By Carl
 Here is Carls story as he tells it himself:
 T left home on June 2. I was very lucky in getting rides, although there are many things connected with that phase of the trip which do not ap- pear on the surface. There is so much in the papers about hold-ups that people often are afraid to pick up hikers on the highway.
 But 1 travelled alone and kept myself as clean as I possibly could, as that is the main thing. I saw many interesting things as I went along
 When I got to Newark, N J., I took the Lincoln. highway to Joliet, III. There I stayed overnight with a friend, While in Joliet I washed my clothes. Friends took me to De Kalb, III. and left me thereto go on.
 People are very good out in the middle west and I was treated fine all the way. When I wanted to know anything I always went to police man. l found them very courteous and that often helped a lot.
 Now about the rations I had. I would stop at a grocery store and have a quart of milk and a few cup cakes or something of that kind. That is very good to brace one up. When I didn't have any money would stop at a tourist camp and ask if l could nov the grass, and I cer- tainly got what I wanted. I would get a place 10 stay at night and a meal in the morning.
 T never had to ask anybody for anything. I worked my way all the way and back.
 Gives Rattler Wide Berth
 T only saw one rattlesnake. When I saw him I started 10 run like mo- body's business. The farther away from snakes I can get the better I feel about it.
