from the Atlantic province.

Poisoning LAID
To NERVES

Mystery surrounding the attempt
Of Miss Anna CULLEN to take her
life by drinking according to the
police, a dose Of poison, was partly
solved today when friends explained
that she recently had suffered from
nervous collapses.
The most recent of these was
Friday night when she tainted in
the arms Of a dancing partner al
one of the fashionable night clubs.
A physician rushed to her assistance
and diagnosed the case as acute In
digestion induced by a highly nerv-
Gus condition. Lately she has ap
peared TO be hysterical on several
occasions and at other times has
been most cheerful, friends said.
Believed To Be Single.
Matters pertaining to her family
have never been discussed with
friends and although it is generally
believed that Miss CULLEN is single,
her friends are not sure of the fact.
Miss CULLEN has no relatives IN
Washington, but at the apartment

AUTO TOURIST TRAVEL
VALUED AT $6,OOO,OOO

Helena, March 16.-Six million
dollars is estimated as the value to
Montana of automobile tourist travel
in 1924 based on a summary of re-
ports from commercial clubs of the
state received in the division of pub
licity of the state department of ag-
rlculture. 1t is estimated that 1885,
600 tourist carr crossed Montana
last year bound for the parks and
points on the west coast, or to east
ern states. The heaviest travel was
westward. The main criticisms from
tourists were the conditions of the
roads and lack of uniform marking
or direction. All tourists seemed to
be strongly impressed with the good
camping facilities, variety of scenery
and fair treatment received from
business men and people of the state
wherever they stopped. The size of
Montana, variety and extent of its
agriculture and agricultural progress
and good crops were reported to be

a surprise to most tourists who had
not expected to find the state de-
veloped on such an extended scale.
An average of 81 persons per car
gave a total estimate of 4,375,0 600
tourists who enjoyed Montana's
scenic attractions and one or both
of the national parks in 1924.
Practically all of the ears made at
least five overnight stops in crossing
the state, and spent approximately
$500 per car at each stop.
Commercial club secretaries sug-
gest greater advertising, especially
of the scenic attractions off the main
highways, more personal attention
to tourists, a uniform marking sys-
tenn of roads and more careful at
.tention to giving directions, as i'm
mediate steps in building up the tour
list service of the state. The sec
retaries claim that five million tour
lists well satisfied with the courteous
attention and treatment received
from Montana people, and enthused
the beauties of Montana scene
ry, furnish one Of the best adver-
Using mediums the state can ever
secure.

in II cities retail prices of food have

cuts were particularly noteworthy

foodstuffs on February Is was 81 per
