NEW YORK. Nov. is.--Tfow
should a murder mystery be solved7
How can the increasing number Of
American murder mysteries that 30
down IN the police blottcr as "un.
solved" be cut downY
These two questions were an
swered today IN an exclusive inter.
view with y. y. A. Service by one Of
the worlds greatest crminologists.
Sir Basil Thomson. X G. II.
Sir Basil for years was head of
tho famous criminal investigation
department OF Scotland Yard. Lon
don, and during tho war was British
director Of intelligence. He now IL
in tho United States on lecture
tour.
PUBLICITY IS
BIG HELP
while the British criminal expert
refused 20 comment directly on tho
Hall.MIlls murder, he outlined the
general principles of criminal inves-
tlgatlon which he believes should be
applied to mystery murders-
-'The whole success Of any muir.
der investigation depends on the
steps taken Mt the outset" Sir Basil
said. Three steps are most i'm.
portant
First IL the examination of the
scene OF the crime. This should be
done with especial care and. In some
cases, the locale OF the crime should
be carefully shut Off so that evil
dence will not be destroyed or the
investigators confused by curiosity
seekers.
Second Ia tho holding Of m eff.
Client autopsy and tho securing of
reliable medical testimony. To my
mind. the autopsy should be held
open as long as possible. for fresh
facts will always be uncovered.
Third IL giving to the public In
certain cases most accurate knowl.
edge OF the crime. That means that
many witnesses will be brought 20
light who otherwise never would
have known their knowledge could
be OF any value 10 the police.
"The inductlve methods Of Sher-
lock Holmes and other fantastic de.
tectives OF fiction are generally use
less in real criminal investigation.
ITO detect real criminals one
needs thoro organization instead
of the lone-hand activities Of n Sher.

instead of dark secrecy.

St. Cecile Quartette Concert

The St. Cecile Quartette of New York City will give concert at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, Auugst 30 at 8 o'clock, under che auspices of the M. E. church of this town.
 The four soloists have succeeded in combining their art and voices so that a rarely beautiful quality of tone is secured. They have produced a most favorable impression in musi- cal circles of New York and else where and the people of this locality may consider themselves very for tunate in having this privilege to attend a concert of such a talented quartette.
 Homer Humphrey of the New England Conservatory of Music of Boston, Mass. says: "It has been my good fortune to hear the St. Cecile quartette several times and always with increased pleasure. It is dis tinguished for quality of tone, ex- cellence of diction, and perfection of ensemble, guided by musicianly in- telligence. In a word, have not heard its equal, and it affords me much qualification to give the work of this organization an unqualified endorsement"

WHAT IS THE MATTER
 WITH MY HOME TOWN
Considerable Interest Shown in Prize Essay
 Contest

Contributions for the Prize Essay Contest have begun to arrive on the desk of the Acting Editor of the News. The following letter is printed in this issue as it contains some very interesting criticisms and ought to inspire several more letters.
 What is the matter with my Town
 Canaan is in a rut. Realizes it and doesn't care to get out if getting out means the loss of its present exclusiveness.
 Its farming and dairying possibili- ties coupled with it's facilities for shipping North, East, South or West; the available land; resources and convenient power Canaan should be the Metropolis" of. North Wes- tern Connecticut and an industrial center. Of course this would mean that there would be an influx of strangers which would jar the sus- capabilities of our set, staid, and somnolent citizens. It is not seV- eral funerals that is needed but a rejuvenation of ideas or the injec- tion of extract of monkey-glands.
 The organizing of a Hope Build er's Association to aid Home Seek CTS would help. Let every one own their home and thus create in all "Town Spirit. Twenty families, today at the least, desire homes of their own. That would mean twenty satisfied families with "The good Of the Town interest" increased.
 The Community Association seems to be trying to do good in it's own way but either lacks cooperation of the public or is closed corporation. Let us all get in on it and work for the Town good.
 Is there a Business Mems Associa- tion in town? If so, is it a secret society or doesn't it believe in pub licity or again does it need monkey gland treatments? A live ,Associa- tion is really necessary to any town that desires to progress and the business men also require it for a better understanding of each other and of business conditions in gen. eral. Why did an outsider have to come here to give us theatre? Why were we satisfied to build a wooden fire escape on an anticipated Town Hall, when it was condemned and a new Hall indicated? Why do we. allow tourists to go through our town and say "'It is pretty place to go through, but pretty bad place in which to eat and sleep?" Why do we allow our children to attend our antiquated schools ref1ecting on our efficient teachers? Why is or Library hidden away? A town is judged by it's public buildings, hotels, and schools. Substantial structures indicate the progressive

WHITE PINE
 BLISTER DISEASE Important Meeting at Salisbury on Aug. 21st to Discuss
 This Matter

Help stamp out the white blister disease. Look for it on white pines, entrants and goose berries. The white pine blister has reached this locality and will continue to spread unless. some strenuous steps are taken both by individuals and muni- cipalities to check it. This blister rust attacks the young bark of pines which bear their needless in bundles of five Gas White Pine, Sugar pine, Timber pine and Bhotan or Hima- layan pine) It also grows on the under sides of the leaves of all kinds of Currants and Gooseberries, both cultivated and wild. Cultivated black entrants are most often affected.
 The disease was brought over from Europe on nursery stock. It is gen erally distributed in New England and advance infections have appear ed in the Lake States. It can be controlled only by the removal from infected areas of all Currant and Gooseberry bushes. Diseased pine trees should also be destroyed when found.
 The disease is caused by fungus Ga parasitic plant) which produces sacs or blisters filled with dust-like orange spores on diseased pines. These spores are blown during the months of April, May and June to Currant and Gooseberry bushes and infect them, forming a rust on .he under sides of the leaves. This rust spreads from these bushes to other Currant and Gooseberry bushes and eventually changes into fRal stage, the spores from which carry the disease back to five needled pines. The disease cannot go direct from pine to pine.
 No white pine tree has ever been known to recover from an attack of the blister rust. Spraying will not control the disease on either pines or entrants and gooseberries. h. lection is most likely in or near fve-needled pines purchased from nurseries within the past ten years. It was first discovered in this coun- try in 1908, and has spread very rapidly so that today even our great forests of the northwest have become infected.
 It was the privilege of the acting editor of this paper to spend very interesting half day recently in a beautiful growth of pines in which he was interested with Harold L. Round of the U. s. Bureau of Plant Indus try and from him secure some very interesting and instructive sugges- tions as to steps which individuals could take to help eradicate this Pine Blister disease. Form a party of six or eight, spread them out about one rod apart, and let them start down through your pine forest keep ing about this same distance from each other, the man on the outside

CANAAN WINS TWO
 GOOD CLOSE GAMES Lakeville Loses in Tenth, 3-2; Baldwin's Homer Beats
 Housatonic, 7-6

Taft" Ryan's slashing single to left field with three men on bases, scored Fraleigh with the winning run in tense ten inning battle with Lakeville Saturday, Canaan being the victor by the score of 3-2.
 Lakeville scored both of their runs in the first inning. Hoysradt was safe at first on Baldwins tumble and stole second. Constantine singled to center, taking second as Meade's throw held Hoysradt at third. Bar mum then shot a single down the third base line which hit the bag. Hoysradt scored and Constantine did likewise as he kicked the ball away from Minacci. Canaan protested but Van Dyke allowed the run. Bur nell forced Barnum at second and Palmer and Garrity were easy outs.
 Canaan tailed once n the second frame. Ryan singled to left and Hubby sacrificed him along. l. Minacci singled to left, Ryan taking third. Foley hit to Flynn, who bungled the forceout, Minacci and Foley being safe as Ryan scored. Minacci stole third, but Meade and Emond famed.
 The locals tied the score in the fifth frame. Emond singled over second and was forced by Baldwin after Fraleigh had popped cut to Barnum. F. Minacci drew a pass and Ryan's liner to left center scored Baldwin, Minacci reaching third. Hubby whiffed for the third out.
 There was no more scoring until the tenth, brilliant fielding by both teams featuring the interval. Ike Minacci made a spectacular bare hand catch of Palmer's hard drive in the sixth inning and threw him, out at first. A snappy double-play, Baldwin to I. Minacci to Hubby, cancelled Margraf's hit in the sev- enth session. Flashing fielding by Neville and Hoysradt aided Lake vile considerable.
 After Burnell had famed in the ninth, Palmer smashed a two-bagger to right center, but he was left straining at second as Bradley and Margraf hit nothing but air.
 Emond pulled the fat out of the fire in that hectic tenth inning. Du- four, first man up, singled to center. Neville struck out. Hoysradt slam med out double to deep center, but Garrity, running for Dufodr, was held at third. Things looked rather black for Canaan, with men on second and third and but one' out. Emond pulled himself out of bad hole by retiring both Constantine and Barnum on strikes.
 Fraleigh slapped a single to center to open the home half of the inning. Baldwin hit to Neville but Fraleigh flashed into second before the throw, both runners being safe. Minacci then sacrificed them along and was safe himself when Palmer dropped Burnelps thorw. Then Ryan's single to left sent Lakeville home defeated.
 Box score.
