Tamorrow is Candlemass or “Ground Hog Day,” last night a thunder storm lighteed the heavens and awoke the sleeping natives, and last week a ‘“Sun Dog” was reported |as seen in the skies. All of which portends—what? Tradition handed | down from generation to generation cxplains that “Ground Hog - Day” is | the day on which the little ground hog creeps forth from his hole in the ground to take a peep at the weather. If the day such that he cannot see his' shadow he declines to return to winter quart convinced that spring is near at haad. If, however, the ds is bright and sunshiny and he sees his | | shadow he takes it to mean that winter is still present and he returns to his underground domicile for six| weeks more. O timers that when ground hog sees his shadow it is a sign to order mord coal”to repair broken now shovels and to huild additions to ( | the ice house, to say nothing of pa attention to the advertised styles. ast night's thunder storm is re- ported as meaning various things. One old timer explains that a winter thunder storm means that winter is | balf gone. The general interpreta tion of this “sign” however, is that | | the “backbone of winter” broken { and an early spring may be expected. Inasmuch as a thunder storm was re- ported a month ago the doubly /im- pressive “sign” is now open for dis- cussion and it would not be surprising to have & number of contributed a ticles received-at this office telling the whys and wherefores of these old time superstitions. The “sun dog” seen said to signify forty days of storm. Thus far the old belief is running almost true to form. ) ( the | | i a week ago is GARAGE MARKERS ON MOTOR TRUCK Machine Not Registered and Driv- ¢r Is Fined in Court John Kendall of 147 Franklin street, lI’Ix\rtfurd, was fined $7 costs by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court today for violation of the motor vehicle statutes in using the license markers of a garage upon his automobile truck, which was un- registered. The arrest was made by Supervisor of Traflic Clarence Lam- phere. Kendall said that he had not registered the truck as he intended to sell it, and had placed it in the hands of S. G. Boardman of Hartford, 2 doaler and garage proprietor. ‘When stopped by Policeman Lamphere, he and explained, he was taking the truck to Torrington as a demonstration for 2 prospective buyer. He supposed that it was all right as long as he was equipped with Boardman's markers, inasmuch as Boardman was acting as sales agent. Prosecuting Attorney George W.

SEE WHAT YOU GET Milk Campaign Statvistics-Watch for Your Milkman’s Name In this space daily appears the re- sults of the laboratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or- der that the reader shall not be con- fused by an array of figures. The everage milk contains frowm 3.5 per cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3 per cent. fat. Milk should be | clean, but a mere trace of dirt ‘does not signify a dirty milk. On the oth- er h!‘d‘\d_, there is a nb excuse for milk | containing a small or large amount of | dirt. The housekeepers can do as { much toward making the campaign a success as can the board of health by i reporting to both their milk dealer ana the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy.
