10 pass tne afternoon with her friend,
Mistress Ogilvy. wife Of the Governor
OF Dunnottar Castle. Standing on an
almost sea-girt rock on the Kincar-
dineshire coast Dunnottar was consid-
cred the strongest of all Scottish for
tresses. and at that moment it was un-
der selge by Cromwell's troops.
After some hours gossip Mistress
Granger and her maid left the castle
and passed through the blockade with
out lncident-but that same night after
darkness had fallen their hazardous
mission had its sequel Mistress Gran
gers husband stole into his little par
ish kirk and worked feverishly until
he loosed = large stone from before
the pulpit. Then, scooping out deep
hole he deposited bundle-containing
the roval crown and scepter Of Scot
land. And once the stone had been re-
placed he dug at the opposite end Of the
church until the 5-foot-long sword OF
state was also slowed underground.
Mr.. Granger's ingenius wife had car
ried her country's regalia out of Dunn
ottar Castle that afternOon-right
through the English lines. The crown
was concealed in some clothes which
she had in the folds Of her voluminous
apron, and she was to tell years later
OF the terrifying moment when it al
most fell out-while the English gen.
eral was gallantly assisting her to
mount her horse! The threads of her
distaf were wound round and round
the sword OF state, while the scepter
was enmeshed in the fluffy bundles Of
fax that the maid had brought.

Cromwell, who knew that the Earl
Marischal OF Scotland had had the
crown jewels removed to Dunnottar,
was particularly keen to get them into
his possession. The year before I65D
the Scots had had Charles II brought
back from exile and crowned with
the ancient symbols. Such an act, Of
course, was in outright defiance of
the Protector who sent an expedition
into Scotland. One of their detectives
was the capture of the Scottish
reealia. When Dunnottar Castle fin-
ally surrendered, great was the dis
appointment of the English that the
Jewels were not to be found. De-
mands that they be produced were
met with the reply that they had
been removed to Paris. A receipt to
this effect was even furnished-and
perhaps, since this perjury was for
national purposes, it triumphed for
once over Scots conscience.

sion with yourself and try to find out
what Is the matter with yourself or
your methods Of doing business that
prevents your friends from patroniz-
ing you. The difnculty must be with
you, because ordinarily people like to
deal with those they know, and get q
kick out Of helping an old friend, espe-
cially when they can do it without any
cost to themselves. It Is because of
this that specially shops. dress shops,
hat shops, etc, like to employ AS sales
women society girls whose friends will
come to buy Of them.
So il your friends don't patronize
you the chances are that there is
something the matter with either your
shop or your salesmanship. Perhaps
you don't carry the line OF goods that
k In demand in your community. Per-
haps your stock Is not fresh or smart.
You can't expect any one to buy an

FARMER DOES NOT

Woodbury, Tenn, June 19-(UP) John w. Davis, tobacco chawin' farmer, sat in a jail cell today, while his attorneys sought to free him from a one-year penicentiary sentence for contributing involun- tarily to the death of his wife, who had served him as a plow-horse.
 Davis, 76, was convicted of in- voluntary manslaughter by jury of l9 farmers, retired school teacher and carpenter in the hill country, where he was looked upon as a "come-here further"
 The jury rejected the states de- mand for second degree murder verdict.
 The state charged that Davis per- formed an illegal operation on his ill-nourished wife, Jodie, who was about to become 8 mother, and caused her death.

AMELIA EARHART
 CONQUERS RAIN

Rangoon, Burma, June 19-(UP) Amelia Earhart, flying round the world, reached Rangoon at TAO 8. m. Greenwich mean time (3:40 a. m. EDT) today from Akyab, up the Burmese coast.
 Miss Earhart started three times from Akyab, to be turned back twice by bad weather. From Rangoon her course lay southeastward to Bang kok, Siam.
 The American woman aviator said that she had a terrific fight to get her plane through to Rangoon from Akyab through binding rain over the hills, and tohat the experience was the worst so far of her world flight.
 Miss Earhart and Fred Noonan, her navigator, followed the Bay of Bengan coast down as far as Bas- sein, then cut across to Rangoon.
 Soon after her arrival here there was severe thunderstorm. The rain was torrential, and Miss Ear hart decided to remain overnight as the guest of the American consul. She hopes to leave at dawn tomor- row for Bangkok.

of snow last winter, c check-up among several of the larger public systems of the state revealed today. There was no indication, however, that this depletion would necessi- tate limitation of water use, since exceptionally large storage facilities have been provided by the water supply utilities in Connecticut.
 Normal Rainfall
 Rainfall during the first four months of the year was approxi- mately normal, so that reservoirs last month were brim full and over~ flowing their spillways, but last month also brought a sharp defic- iency in precipitation of nearly 1 3-4 inches as compared with the normal rainfall for May. This defic. iency came atop the unusual sittia- tion created by last winters almost complete lack of snow, which in turn resulted in dropping of the ground water supply and in the flow of streams feeding the reser. voirs.
 When there is a normal amount of snowfall during the winter, much moisture is stored in the snow on the watershed slopes and is gradu- ally fed into the reservoirs and their tributary streams as warmer advances. This year, however, there was no snow to hold this moisture back and to permit its slow seepage into the water supplies. Instead, there was rapid run-off from the watersheds. This not only filled but overflowed the supply basins, 50 that at the present time following the deficiency in precipitation in May there is no natural reserve to make up that deficiency. Stream flow does not normally fall off so sharply until extremely hot weather. Thus, unless abnormally rainy wea- ther should be forthcoming. 1t is not likely that the reservoirs will receive much in the line of new sup- ply until fall.
 No Alarm
 The situation is not one to cause any alarm, however, for water supply officials point out that Con- necticut for many years has been preparing against any and all en1- ergencies which may arise and it's water utilities and departments have built large reservoirs and storage basins in which water is collected when conditions are right and held for later use. So massive are the main public wtaersystems that they could withstand months of drain by public use and by sum- mer evaporation without any addi- tional feeding from tributary streams. Fifteen years ago. the pres- ent circumstances of the water supplies might have been viewed with some misgivings, but since that time the storage capacity of the supplies has been greatly increased, thereby guarding against water shortages in nearly all parts of Con. necticut.

 Gugliotti sued Tedesco to recover for note and labor, and Tedesco entered cross complaint for $50. Judge McNiff finds the issues for the defendant on the plaintiffs complaint: and for the plaintiff on the defendants cross-complaint. He also describes the note in the Gugliota complaint as null and void. Mascolo. Mcknight and Dauch represented Gugliotti, with Attor- ney P. N. Bernstein for Tedesco.

Settlement Effected
 In $5O,0OO Actions
Waterbury Plaintiffs Injured in Auto Crash Reach
 Agreement With New Haven Defendants

Kelley of New Haven, a teacher at McTernan school of this city.
 No admission was made of the amounts involved in the settlements. Attorney Vincent A. Miller repre- scented both plaintiffs.
 An accident on Amity road Woodbridge, in which Grant and Miss Kelley were seriously injured, was the basis of the litigation. The accident happened November 19, 1886, and was allegedly due to the negligence of Ralph Mauriello, the operator of the defendants car. Grant was driving his own car at the time of the crash. It was claimed that Mauriello was driving on the wrong side of the road. Both cars were almost completely wrecked.
 Both suits were ready for trial by jury when the settlement was reported. The Grant suit was to have been heard in the Waterbury superior court, and Miss Kelly's action was pending trial in the New Haven superior court. Miss Kelley sought damages of $30,00O and the Grant action was for $2O,000.
