DARK DAYS FOR
BUNKER HILL DOGS
Another Poisoning Case
Called to Attention of
the Police
STRYCHNINE WAS USED

Apparently the campaign to ex-
terminate dogs in the Bunker Hill
section has been resumed. After
three weeks of immunity from the
much feared righteousness of
somo unknown person another dog
poisoning case was called to the
attention of the police last even
ing. Charles Harlow OF 1919 Cir
cult avenue complained that his
dog, a priced Boston terrier, was
taken suddenly i'll Wednesday
night and died within an hours
time. There was every indication
that the animal had been poison
ed with strychnine, which caused
the death of several dogs in that
section within the past two months.
Members of the local detective
bureau as we'll as of the Connec-
ticut Humane society have been
quietly investigating the series of
fatal poisonings and have been
hopeful of obtaining some definite
information concerning the identi-
ty of the parties responsible. A
we'll known resident of the Bunker
Hill district was brought under
suspicion and questioned by the
police, but managed to establish an
alibi. -
The investigation will be con-
tinued with hopes Of success as
some of the owners interested are
determined to cause the arrest Of
the guilty party regardless of time
or expense.

COERINC PLANS
DEFENSE FOR
AIR ATTACKS
Department Added to Ger
man Ministry of
Aviation

Berlin. (UP)-Captain Herman
Goering has completed the organ
ization of his Reich's ministry Of
aviation by adding department
for protection against aerial at
tacks.
The department is headed by
two experts, ex-General Grimme
and ex-Major Waldschmidt. Gen.
eral Grimme was commander Of
all German anti-aircraft forces
during the World War. while
Major waldschmidt was depart
ment head at general headquarters
for the protection of the hinterland
and western Germany against
aerial attacks.
The new departments first task
will be the organization and uni
fication Of the various local bodies,
which have been formed for pro-
lection against aerial attacks by
the various municipalities. Sinful
taneously 1t IL preparing for coun-
try-wide propaganda aiming at
educating and training the popu-
lation as. to the most effective
means Of protection against at
lacks from the air.
Education and training in this
respect Is vital for Germany in
the opinio nof experts. In a flu
ture war, they point out, every part
of the country may be affected by
aerial attacks. Germany borders on
eight countries each Of which has
an air force. Four of these coun-
tries, Denmark, Holland, Switzer-
land. and Lilthuania, have, how
ever, but small air forces. Yet the
other four neighbors possess big
air fleets and, according to German
figures, France, Belgium, Czecho-
slovakia, and Poland between them
have approximately $50 war

SLUMP CLAIMS
FAMOUS OLD
! DRUG STORE
Dispensary Used By
Washington, Lee and
Madison, Bankrupt

Alexandria, Va, (UP)-Father
Time and the depression have
claimed another victim-the Lead
beaten Drug store, which has been
doing business here since 1871. The
old store finally has been forced to
close its doors and 60 into bank
ruptcy.
Starting as a wholesale and re-
tail house in the days when Alex
andria was thriving sea port, the
store served many famous people,
including Washington, Lee, and
Madison.
It's ancient records, in fact, are
practically the only assets Of the
firm. Because It never has moved
from its original waterfront Local
ton, its business has dwindled un-
til there is lit leleft.
A plate on one Of the counters
marks the spot where Robert Il.
Lee was standing when he was
called to take charge OF the Con-
federate forces Of the Civil war.
Another record numbered
among the most precious possess
sions Is a note from Martha
Washington ordering bottle OF
castor oil for use at Mount YER

A few years ago the head Of the
firm found among the records q
stamp issued by the Alexandria
postmaster in 1910. A stamp collec-
tor soon appeared on the scene,
and when he left the owner no
longer had the stamp, but had
$4,000 in its place.,

FARM MORTGAGE
MEASURE WILL
NOW BE PUSHED
Henry Morgenthau, Jr,
Will Deal Out That ST.
O00,O00,00O in Re-
financing of Mortgages
BY WILLIAM A. BELL

Copyright 1898 by United Press)
Washington, June. 16.-UP)-
Henry Morgenthau, Jr, governor Of
the farm credit administration, is
ready for quick start on the gov
ernment's $4,000, 100000 farm mort
gage refinancing program.
He expects to reveal to-day his
detailed plans for facilitating ex-
change of existing farm mortgages
for federal land bank bonds. The
bonds win be turned out by the
Bureau of engraving within two
weeks.
The refiancing plan will permit
holders Of mortgages to turn them
in to the land banks in exchange
for bonds on which the federal
treasury guarantees the interest.
The banks then will take new
mortgages on the farms, charging
the farmer a lower rate of interest
and giving him q long term of
years to pay off the debt in small
installments.
While perfecting the mortgage
relief procedure, Morgenthau out
lined to the United Press his pro-
gram for giving farmers ample
circuit ldCllitiSS WltiiOuI luilhCE
large drains on the federal treas
ury.
He explained that the farm cred
1t act passed Saturday by Congress
provides for setting up Of cooper.
alive credit associations by which
"a mans neighbors extend hira
credit" Farmers participating In
the proposed organizations would
subscribe five per cent Of the stock.
Thus, the farmers will help each
other.
Morgenthau plans immediate
consolidation of crop and seed
loan and regional agricultural
credit corporation collecting agen-
cies. He hopes thus to save the
government about $2,000,000.
Formerly" he remarked, "these
agencies worked in competition
with each other. Our big Job now
Is to get busy and set UP local
production agencies to absorb and
expand their functions.
IF we do our Job between now
and the first Of January there Is
no reason why Congress should
have to appropriate money for
direct loans-with one exception:
where unnatural conditions such
as droughts or wind storms de-
stroy crops so that farm animals
have nothing to eat. In such Sc
we're cases, however, there's no
use going through the motions Of
making a loan you can't collect.
The government should make di.
rect grants.

Judge John Richards Booth re-
served decision on the divorce case
Of Helen Grant Of Harrison, N. r.,
against Frank Grant OF Naugatuck,
railway express employe, when 1t
was brought out in the trial of the
case to-day that the petitioner has
been receiving sums OF money from
the respondent up to within o
month ago.

grant the decree unless It Is prov
en- that the payments were ordered
by court to be compulsory. The
Grants were married May Q, 1902
at Rye, N. Y. The desertion took
place in June, 1925. Mrs Grant
admitted on the stand that she
had received $3.50 in May from
her husband to pay the rent for
her home. The action was uncon-
tested by Grant.
Judge Booth granted the petit
ton Of Anna Brookings OF Middle
bury against Arthur w. Bookings
of Randolph, Me. The decree was
allowed on desertion grounds. The
couple was married December II,
1915. The desertion took place In

washington, June 16-(UP)-
Two earnest young Washington
ians, looking for a method of rais-
ing funds for musicians cultural
center here, hit upon the idea Of
promoting a flower show with ex-
hibits from the White House gar
dens as an attraction.
The young men had read Of the
great success OF the New York
flower show and thought that
something of the kind could be
done here, the proceeds to be used
in broadening opportunities for
struggling musicians who were
finding the times bit difficult.
Uncertain over the exact ETH
quette required, the musicians adj
dressed communications to the
White House and a number Of es-
tates where exhibits might be
forthcoming. There were probably
no more surprised persons in
washington than the two men
when they received cordial in
vitatioh to have tea with Mrs
Roosevelt and discuss the project.
The two went to the White
House at the appointed hour and
found they were among a dozen
or more tea guests. They soon
overcame their shyness and had a
good time. When the other guests
began to depart they trouped
along. They thought that prob
ably Mrs Roosevelt had forgotten
their proposal and anyway, they
didn't want to infringe on her hos
pitality by bringing 1t to her at
tention again.
But Mrs Roosevelt called them
back. asked them to sit down and
began to talk about the flower
show they had proposed. She said
that IL they were determined to
go through with 1t she would send
White House exhibits. But she
added word Of advice to the eff
feet that she believed a flower
show would not be particularly
| successful for the purpose they
outlined. She suggested that per-
haps after all 1t would be better
to drop the idea.
They did.
The first lady has this advice
for busy women who want to keep
up with happenings at the world

Read at least the headlines and
paper stories on the conference to
the first paragraph or SO of news
