1.The idea of letter golf is to change ono word to another and do it in par, a given number,of strokes. Thus to change COW to HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW, HEW, HEN.
2.-You can change only one letter,nt a time.
3. You must have a complete word, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbrevia- tions don't count,
4. The order of letters cannot be changed.

1929.
But for the prompt and an siduous attention of a European police officer, who applied, ar- tificial respiration, it is likely that
Gas Company workman would have died after being severely gassed in a mishap which occurred in Chancery Lane yesterday after- noon.
While looking Into the 'gas con- nexions outside a house in Chun- cery Lane (a thoroughfare which jains Arbuthnot Road, with the upper section of the Old Balley), the workman inadvertently knock ed a hole in a gas main. As the released fumes rushed through the opening, the workman was quickly overcome and collapsed.
The unfortunate man was the only workman on the job at the that he time, and it is likely would have succumbed before as- sistance could be summoned in the ordinary way. Happily, sub Inspector Field, of the Hawkers Department, on his return to the Central Police Station after tiffin, happened to be near at hand to Ho extend prompt assistance. applied artificial respiration, and assiduously devoted himself to the task until his efforts were reward. ed by the return of the victim to cunsciousness. Later when Ser- geant Hunt arrived on the scono and took over charge, the man was removed to Hospital, still auffer- ing from the effects of gau-polson- ing, but happily out of all danger.
