 First knowledge of the automobile party in which pr. Radon is said to have participated, was conveyed to the authorities by James Minor, pro- prtetor of a gasoline station at Ash lice that the party stopped at his store about 12:30 o'colck Saturday morning, and Dr. Radon telephoned her home from that place. Mrs. having received a call from the wom- an Minor maintains that his story is correct, however, and identified the body at the City Morgue as that of the woman who used his telephone
 Behind a hedge about 80 feet from bottles were found. One of these was empty, but the other contained a CO., caine solution. A quantity of poison ous pills and liquids were found at ing held by the police. A theory that Dr. Radon intended to commit sui eide by drowning, is backed by the fact that her shoes were filled with sand.
 Drug purchases made by Dr. Ra- have been carefully checked by the police, and found to be perfertly le- gal.
 Another story is that the woman was fin love with g. physician who waa stricken with tuberculosis and that illness.
 The police will continue their in- vestigation until they can establish the identity of pr. Radum's compan- ions on the auto ride, and also dis cover her whereabouts from the time until her body was discovered at 6:3G o'clock Saturday morning.

 \ HERO.
 For many months I have enjoyed your very sound advice and now 1 am Writing you in anticipation Of enjoy ing advice from you to me. My husband has been ailing, Cor I should say Just Ill enough to grumble) for about two years. Until the last ten months we lived in the States and I thought sure that getting back to our own dear soil and pure air would fix him up, but he doesn't seem to inn prove very rapidly. All during the hot weather he complained continual ly of headaches He claims to have had sunStrOke, when about three years old, and has suffered headaches in hot weather ever since. About three years ago he had the Flu, but seemed to get we'll rapidly, although ever since he has not been himself .'' He has had severe pains in his legs when overexerted, especially when working as a salesman for a real es- tate company when he did a great man in a factory here and is on his feet all day, and stil complains of pains in his legs, and for weeks at a time has no pep"
 He is satisfied to lie down after work and read until bedtime, and often goes to bed right after dinner at night. And worst of all I can't simply drive him to a doctor. While v1sHng at his parents home he visited the family doctor a year ago who said he required nothing but rest. But how can one rest in this age? Money does not grow on trees. My hus- band was in France and was wound ed in the thigh-a shell having torn @ large hole in his leg which seems to be filling up quickly, he also had pneumonia while in hospital in Eng land. Do you think that having a piece of metal in his back would cause any trouble? It wasn't removed on account of it being so close to his spine.
 Answer.-Your husband may not be @ very sick man, but your letter gives me the idea that he is now pretty much in need of rest and of sympa- thetic care. People who have once had sunstroke have to be more care full of the heat in subsequent sum- mefs throughout the rest of their Hves-have appopIexy, severe head ache and are like to die if they are

 the theory that he and Parsons had had a quarrel.
 In connection with the arrest of Dean, it is said, there were evidences of the quarre. Dean is said to have been positively identified by Miss Mary Parsons, a sister of the man murdered, who herself was shot and badly wounded by the intrduder in the house that night. It is said that Miss Parsons suspicious as to the identity of the man who shot her brother were told to the state police a month ago. State Officer Preston kept @ watch on Henry w. Dean, who lived on the Canaan mountain road and yesterday when the latter was out hunting he was arrested. After being questioned Dean is said to have denied that he killed Parsons, Miss Parsons was sent for and it is said she identified Dean as the man in the house that might. Dean was then locked up.
 . The man under arresa is 45 years Of age, and was divorced from his wife who with son now lives in Va Va terbury. A daughter and a son live 1 in Danmury and a brother, Wallace, Hives on the road between Torrington and Norfolk.

She was in a critical condition for some time but finally recovered. There was a lfgIS burning in her brothers room, at the time of the murder, and Miss Parsons said that she got a glimpse of the man who did the sh ootfng. As she was unable to tell much about the murder for a long dime the state police followed up such scanty clues as they found.

O5~echt declared that two-thirds or
the grain which is produced on the
fal ms of the United States, If properly
marketed, would produce the same
revenue which the farmer now gets
from the total crop.
1t is the aim of the incorporated
group of agriculturists to distribute

out the year, as the demand justifies
it. and to finance the holding of grain
either on the farm or in the mills and
