GAS FUMES FATAL
 TO MARTHA NAGEL
Prominent Southington Woman
 Found Dead by Parents
(specIal to the Herald)

Southington, Aug. 29.-Miss Mar tha Nagle, age 2S years. daughter Of Mir. and Mrs. James Nagle of Wood- ruff street, was found dead in bed yesterday morning at $40 o'clock, death having been caused by illum- mating gas asphyxiation. The dis .covery was made by her father when he went to call her for church serv- ices. Gas escaping from tube which was connected with gas heater in the room was the cause of the tragedy.
 The young woman generally at tended the l0:30 o'clock mass at St. Thomas church. Her parents at tended the o'clock services yester- day morning and upon their return the father called to his daughter to arise. Receiving no response, he went to the bedroom on the second floor.
 As he neared the closed door, he detected the odor of gas and burst ing into the room, he found Martha unconscious. He hurriedly sum- tmoned Dr. William T. Nagle, her uncle. but after working on her for some time, the physician pronounced her dead. pr. Nagle is medical ex- aminer for Southington.
 Miss Nagle every morning lit gas heater in her room. She used to complain of feeling cold. Yesterday morning she evidently arose and lighted the apparatus and then re- turned to her bed. The tube. at tached to a jet on the wall, was badly worn and apparently fell off allowing the gas to escape freely and permeate the room.
 The door leading into the rest of the house was closed as were the Windows.
 Her death has come as one of the worst shocks suffered by the en- tire community in some time. Miss Nagle was not only very attractive young woman, but she was one of the towns most popular residents. She had a charming disposition. She was employed by the Aetna Life 1n- surance Co. of Hartford.
 Dr. Nagle rendered a verdict of accidental death caused by gas as- phxiation.
 Besides her parents, Miss Nagle is survived by sister, Mrs. Frank J. Hurley and a brother, James Nagle, Jr.. both of Southington.
 The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Thomas church. Burial will be in St. Thomas cemetery.

Judge Hungerford said he did not


 commit the children to the care Of the state society for any specified length of time, neither were they committed permanently. My inn pression is that the commitment was only temporary. and I believe home conditions have become satis- factory since" he added.
 He sai that he could see no ob- lection at the present time to the return of the children to their par ents, especially since Probation Of- ficer E. c. Connolly has stated that he was not consulted in the original action and that the local authorities are capable of handling the situa- tion here.
 Several weeks ago an investigation was made of the Romaine family sit uation by Miss Henriett Wood, case work supervisor for the Connecticut Welfare bureau. At the time Miss Wood called at the Romaine house, County Commissioner Edwin R. Schultz also called. Both found the house in an immaculate condition. and both were shown trunks and closets full of clothing which the parents had provided for the chill dren before they were taken away.
 On a verbal report made by Miss Wood, the county commissioners, de- spite a change in conditions. have denied MT. Connolly's request that the children be returned on proba- tion. The parents had not been mo- tified of this action, this morning.
 This does not close the case. Friends of the Romaine family have determined that the alleged injustice shall be righted, and steps will be taken to ask the courts to have a re-hearing with a possibility of re- voking the commitment.

SIERRA LINDA
RANG HIS READY
TO TAKE GUESTS

Mrs. E. W. Garrett, the owner OF
the beautiful Sierra Linda ranch at
Cave Greek, is ready to open her
place to a limited number of guests
and is prepared to give them excel
lent service both as to lodging and
dining room Accommodations.
This ranch situated at the mouth
of Cave Creek is one of the beauty
spots of the county, and within
easy run of Douglas over fine roads.
Mrs Gurnett feels that she has
everything to offer the eastern
tourist in search of change from
the eastern environment. Sierra
linda is only ten miles from the
railroad at Rodeo with an excel
lent road; it has mail delivery every
day, has direct communication by
telephone with the outside world,
both local and long distance. Besides
all this there are all tho pleasures
of winter resort combined with
the attractions Of the mountain and
valley. This resort will make an all
year round center of attraction for
the tourist, as it is cool in summer
and while there is some. snow in
winter there is not enough to hinder
the continued enjoyment of out
door life every day during the win
ter months.

PARCEL
WRAPPING SHOW
PUT IN. LOBBY

Assistant Postmaster w. j. jackson
has been working the past week on an
exhibit to be placed in the lobby of
the postoffice Immediately for the pur-
pose of giving the public some definite
ideas on how not to prepare parcels
for mailing.
In a sturdy case with glass front
jackson has placed three packages.
One of these is properly wrapped and
properly tied. and properly addressed
and the other two are examples of
the wrong way to prepare parcels.
The idea in preparing parcel for
mailing, according to the instructions
and the examples in this case, is to
wrap the article in strong, durable
paper and tie it with strong cord The
returned address should be placed in
the upper left hand corner, It. should
be written plainly in ink and the adj
dress should be in the lower right
hand corner and should also be writ
ten in ink.
The examples Of the wrong way to
prepare parcels show one done in
tissue paper and sealed with Christ
mas seals. jackson said that he found
it impossible to do as poor job of
wrapping this parcel as many people
do with their regular Christmas pack
ages. The tissue paper tears and the
seals fall off
One of the bad examples shows an
address written on heavy paper and
pasted onto the tissue paper This is
liable to be- torn off, thus losing the
package altogether. Small string or.
thread is used to tie the bad examples
and the addresslG and return adj
dresses are not properly placed.
The program now well under way
at the postoffice of placing exhibits
of an educational nature in the lobby
where everyone may see them is bear
ing fruit as anyone may see by the
hundreds of persons who gather to
study the displays
