 Then he told me that he knew for certain that he was more than ever suspected obtained, we'll, the flat would have to be that a. watch was being kept on his shop and on his movements; that he had learnt this from a certain Lady A, who had ob- tained the information quite by acci- dent when dinging out.
 Lady A.,-Opium Fiend.
 This Lady A., was not a cocaine maniac-she was an opium fiend. Lit owned what he called a pipe shop" in the East End-that is, I believe, 'the slang term for it-and it was there that Lady A. used to go twice a week for her opium smoke.
 Lit told me that he had first of all opened a "pipe shop. in the West End, but that the business had grown rather dangerous and he was secretly advised that it would be better to shut the shop up, and so he had removed his business to the East End, where it masqueraded as the headquarters of the Social Workers Union, to which belonged people of all classes who
 
 betterment of the poor. So there was nothing extraordinary in seeing we'll dressed people enter it's doors.
 Lady A. was completely in Lifts power; he could make her do practi- cally anything he wished, and she came to him in an agony of terror to bring him the information about his being watched, which she had gleaned from the remarks of a man high up in police administration.
 She begged and implored Lit to be careful.
 Lit told her cynical1y that a heavy fine would settle his account and that he couldn't help it if a raid on his shop brought to light letters incrimin- ating herself. He said that Lady A. must try to help him find some way out Couldn't she use her influence with this official? Also couldn't she get the officials to lessen the rate or remove the difficulties concerning the procuring of cocaine? She had great influence socially, her husband was a man of considerable importance surely he could do something? No? Oh, well then the illicit trade must stop, that was all. Lit had done very well out of it. It would be a pity, of course, but still that couldn't be helped.
 
 was evidently in an agony of terror. And, to save herself, she told him that she knew where cocaine in practically unlimited quantities could be obtain ed.
 An East End Store.
 Down in the East End there was plenty of it, she declared. She knew much more about the East End than he did. Lit seldom went there him self. The habit was spreading there like wildfire, she told him. And CO., caine could be bought there fairly cheap, too. Let Lit change his methods entirely and procure the stuff from there, but let someone act for him, not appear himself. Then all watching of the chemists shop, all possible chances of raids, would be done away with, and, of course, Lady A. would be safe.

VIEWPOINT
Especial to The Times.

 Newtown, June lS-"A new indus try will be opened shortly at the old Borden Creamery, near Newtown sta ton, under the management of the { Farmers Dairy Co. The manufac- ture of powdered milk is the indus try to be carried on. Plans are all ready under way.
 The ice situation is about as diff i fcult in Newtown as in many larger places. Since the new ice dealer was arrested and fined for dealing out short weights. the price for delivered ice was raised to S1 per 100 pounds. Some merchants refused to buy at the price, and went to Danbury to purchase their supply. Many large farm owners and store keepers store ice whenever possible, but the house. keeper and smaller business concerns are handicapped because they have no means of carrying the much need ed product to their homes, and no delivery wagon iS now on the several routes. It will be sold at the ice house for a reasonable amount, but no accommodation to patrons is ar ranged for.
 The Progressive club will meet on Thursday evening. This club is pro- gressive in every sense of the word
 
 the first, meeting, it is expected that 100 will attend this third meeting and spread.

 Beginning this week every We'd nesday and Saturday evening there will be a dance at Newtown Inn for which Bevens' orchestra will furnish music.
