The temperature 'for the first sixteen days of the present month has becu vir tually normal, according to stnfistics at the Weather Bureau. The reason these days have seemed a little cool, said the weather officials, is by contrast with nn nbnormally warm winter and spring. The average temperature thus far in May is only one-half degree below the normal, which is 00. It was much cooler iu.the correspond ing period, In 1017, when the average temperature was a little over fifty-seven degrees. The May average last year was ten, degrees higher than this year. Three and fivc-hundredths inches of rain have fallen this month. The nor mal for the entire month is 3.20 inches. The excess so far is 1.20 inches. Last year there occurred the greatest twenty-four-hour fall ever recorded when, on May 27, it equalled JI.10 inches. The total fall for the mouth was 0.81 inches.

Two little tots with the tenderness nnd nnxlcty of Red Cross nurses today bent over the broken body of n black and white terrier. The wheel of n heavy .truck had just passed over its body on Main street, near I'ensdalc street, Manayunk. One of the children was, 'for the minute more indignant than tender, niid she shook her tiny fiat at the indifferent driver of the truck, who, did not stop. The terrier died before the wuter could be secured, and the youngsters lifted the body carefully and hunted a place for burial. But a patrolman found them. "It hurt me to take that dog away from them," said the patrolman, "for there were tears in their eyes. But the laws of a city are laws, and dead dogs can't be buried on public high ways." v BRITISHERS MAY FLY TODAY Raynham and Hawker Preparing for Long-Delayed Start St. John's, N. F.,.May 17. (By A.

He 'denied he struck a woman. William J. Martin, 2.150 North Cleveland avenge, nn honorably dis charged soldier, who was shot twice and gassed at Chateau -Thierry, asserts the lieutenant knocked him down be cause he didn't move off the pier fast enough. Mrs. Martin, the veteran's wife, de clnres that when she remonstrated the officer struck her a stunning blow in the face with his open hand. Martin says he is going to demand a court-martial for the lieutenant. If thn military authorities refuse to act he says he will cause the officer's ar rest for assault and battery. Gate to Pier Broken Open Lieutenant O'Day', in giving his ver sion of the occurrence, said a gate lead ing to the pier had been broken open by the crowd. He had strict orders, he said, to keep unauthorized persons off the wharf, which is' under Govern ment control. "I didn't strike, I kept shoving," the lieutenant explained, as he described the forward rush of the crowd enger to gain n vantage point as the troopship Peerless drew near. "I hit one man and knocked him down," the lieutenant , continued. "I would hnve broken his neck if I hod hit him again. I didn't hit air woman." "Mr. Martin claims he was the man you knocked down," the officer was told. "I don't know who it was. The man gave me nn argument. -The fact is I just shoved him and he fell down."
