GIRL, MEMORY GONE,
WANDERS IN WOODS
Richly CARRIED Young Woman
Believed to Be Victim
of Aphasia.

CATSKILL. Aug. 25.-An expensive
ly gowned young woman, not more
than twenty-eight years old. was
found wandering aimlessly in the
woods near here yesterday. She ap-
peared to be suffering from aphasla,
or possibly the effect OF some drug.
She was unable to tell her name,
residence or whether she lived in a
large or small city. She knew only
that she had been IN the woods since
last Thursday. Thursday night the
Catskills experienced one Of the worst
storms in years.
She appeared early yesterday at the
home Of Chester Fredenburgh, on
Athens Road, a mile north of Catskill
and begged for a glass OF water. Mrs
Fredenburgh questioned her and her
lncoherent replies made it evident the
young woman needed medical atten-
tion.
Mrs. Fredenburgh telephone for Dr.
Rapp, at Catskill. He hurried the
patient to the county Jail and placed
her in the hospital ward. Efforts to
learn the woman's identity were OF
no avail

HOOVER URGED AS
G. O.P. CANDIDATE

PARIS. Aug. 25.-Herbert Hoover,
former food administrator for the
United States and present head OF the
Interallied Food Commission, is be-
ing urged to enter the race for the
Republican nomination for President
in 1920.
Hundreds of Mr.. Hoover's friends
in the United States have written
him, he says. urging his acceptance Of
the candidacy. Replying to one OF
these, Mr.. Hoover wrote that he dis
liked the idea of going into politics
because political life would force him
to abandon certain ideals and prin-
ciples." Persons who saw this letter,
however, say that il was not refusal
and that no doubt III Mr.. Hoover re-
ceived certain assurances from the
Republican leaders ne would consent
to have his name go before the con
vention.

The unexpected delay on the desert
presented a serious situation as re-
spects water and gasoline. The wa
ter tank was placed under guard
and the water ration limited to one
cup for supper and overnight. In
addition, the stRlling of the fuel
truck killed all hopes for a warm
and cooked meal, and the supper con-
sisted Of cold baked beans and hard
bread, the chief cOpcern of all being
mere existence without any frills or
luXuries.
As baggage could not be distrib-
uted. the entire personnel slept where
It could. Fortunately a gasoline
truck got through to Goldhill, thirty
miles from the stalled convoy, and
returned with a filled tank Then

and relieved the water famine. Wal
ter Paul, superintendent of road con-
struction Of the Utah state Highway
Commission, hauled water and exert

assist in relief necessary.

the Hudson as its most famous fine car.
The men who designed it are for the
most part the same who have brought it to
its present high degree of perfection They
have observed it's career with the one
thought OF higher accomplishment And
into this new Hudson, they have put the

Such High Development
Possible Only TO Hudson

Without the experience gained witt,
10000 earlier cars, this new Super-Six
could not have been SO perfected.
Four years ago the Super Six checked
the trend to greater number of cylinders
because it gave all the srnoothness sought
for without sacrificing the simplicity of the
six
It increased motor power 72% without
added cylinders or weight.
Then it proved in hundreds of record
tests, an endurance surprising all previous
performances. It became the largest sell
