Continual ex- posture of his hands to the same rays which in moderation have brought relief to hundreds of pa tents has led to the amputation of his right arm at the elbow and three fingers of his left hand.
 While science has learned the value Of moderate use of the ray, it has as yet been unable to dis cover a cure for over exposure, and but slight hope is held out for Dr. Days recovery. Infection which set Tn six years ago from X-ray burns is still spreading despite series of six operations.
 Dr. Day himself gave tho order which resulted in the amputation of the fingers of his left hand.

MAINE FARMERS
 TALKING WEALTH
Millions From Potato Crop Of
 Over 27,0OO,OOO Bushels

Houlton, Me, Jan. $ UP - Aroostook county potato farmers arc talking in terms Of millions to- day for the first time In Ave years.
 They have staged q financial comeback, and, if tho central mar ket holds, tho value of last years crop from the worlds potato cen ter will be well in excess of s40,- 900, 0,000 The Aroostook farmer will not get rich, but he will pay a Nood part Of his fertilizer and local bank Indebtedness.
 In 1919. when potatoes sold for s10 A barrel and again in 1920 when good prices prevailed. luxury buying was general but not 10 this year. Hard times have taught the farmer the lesson of thrift. He Is paying his old bills.
 The money that will be realized from the 9757O,O0O bushels that the county has produced will go to redeem part of S12.000,0OO owed fertilizer companies. and like sum due local banks and other creditors. The current quotation of s6.50 a barrel Is s3.50 off the 1919 top but 1t is far better than what was brought at many sales in the intervening years.
 Of the entire 42.795,0o0 bushels which the department Of agricul- ture estimated would be harvested in New England in 1925. Maine had S4,l70.000 of them and Aroostook county led every state In the country in production with the exception of this.
 This estimate. which is the re- vised one of November 1. repre- sents a drop for New England of Az per cent from tbe previous es- timate,
 Increased acreage and yields in Maine, however, exceed earlier forecasts nearly enough to offset reductions in the other states.
 As usual, this county's average yield per acre continues to lead the country. In 1924, the average was 3S0, and in 1925, 265 bushels, but in each of these years It was some what more than twice that in any of the other late crop states, and slightly more than two and d half times that of the country.
 While New England's losses from rot due to late blight and freezing were small, except in Yer. mont, and little further shrinkagt seems likely, other states are re- ported to have suffered heavy dam age from freezing. With added losses in potatoes available for market q possibility.
 All this adds to the contentmen' of the Aroost ook raiser. The de mand for potatoes is poor toda, but Aroost ook's farmers are hope, ful. All they ask is that presen conditions last. Then they'u b. satisfied.

WRECKED HYDROPLANE
 WASHED INTO SHORE
Atlantic City Coast Guardsmen Con fronted With Mystery of
 the Sea

Atlantic City, N, J.. Jan, s LF-- Coast guard officials today wrestled with a mystery of the sea centering around a wrecked hydroplane pick cd up four days ago by the steam ship Alegrete and complicated by rumors of an impending rum inva- sion by air, a mysterious telephone message and other melodramatc in- gradients.
 Among reports along the Jersey coast was one that somewhere on the Atlantic today 15 patrol boats were cruising to prevent q fleet of hydroplanes from landing liquor from rumrow. No information con- corning this report strategy would be given. coat guard officials said, until details of the hydroplane wreck had been cleared up.
 The wrecked plane is believed to be one in which Charles R. Warren, of New York, and George Hand left New York for Florida December 2S. It put into this city with engine trouble and left last Saturday since then no direct word has come from the two aviators,
 Three hours after the plane hop. ped off, n telephone call from an un- identified person to the coast guard base said q seaplane which had left three hours before had failed to re- turn on scheduled time, Search for the plane was made by coast guard vessels for three days without re- suit
 On Saturday night after two men had been seen on pier signalling, a seaplane was driven away by shots from a coast guard patrol boat.

WRONG MARKET MENTIONED

The market formerly conducted by Edward Nassos and James Nalidos was known as the Hard ware City Market and not as the New Britain Market. There are stores on Main street under both names, the similarity of which has caused the management of the lat ter which is still in business, con- siderable concern. The Hardware City Market was closed under q writ of attachment and it's former pro- prietors are now missing.

EVENING HAS
FEW HIGH SPOTS

The two unusual ana ulPEO'
grammed announcements broke into
an evening that was without Ligh
spots of entertainment, II we except
the beginning of the bridge games.
The fact that the mlcrophon'c
products were on dead level was
a distinct disappointment 10 many
listeners who had expected great
things from the celebration OF the
forty.seventh anniversary of the
making of the first incandescant
lamp which furnished program ma
terial for so broadcast stations In
the United States and dozens more
in foreign countries.
The Edison Day program OF
WGY which WIZ sent out to its
affiliated stations had just three
features--a short address by Charles
Edison, acknowledging. for his dis
tinguished father, the tribute paid
him: several groups of songs by
Olive Kline and similar contribu-
tions by the Victor Salon Orchestra
under the direction of Nathaniel
Schildkret.
NEW SINGER
SCORES A HIT
Under ordinary circumstances che
singing of Miss Kline would have
been a real radio event. Well
known as a maker of fine phon0-
graph records, Miss Kline brought
the experience and skill she has
acquired in record making to the
microphone with her and backed
by her intelligent conception Of
what she was doing, gave radiotlcs
a series of almost perfectly inter
preted songs. Her voice is of the
kind that one welcomes most en-
Enthusiastically to radio performance
and she uses 1t in way that
gives her listeners every thrill the
music she sings can produce.
The Kilt Hour in the dinner time
period brought George McCauley
baHjoistS and Charles Miller, saxo-
phonist, to listeners from WRC
with a varied and well played pro-
gram. The New Willard concert
orchestra presented an hour of ex-
cellent music and then very poor
motion picture story was told--the
material with which the adapters
worked being trashy to start with
and the two people doing the lead
ing roles were not much better
than the material they worked
with.
The typewriter hour followed with
Erva Giles lovely voice and the
orchestra's well conceived produc-
tons giving a few happy moments
Then came the always welcome
