 It was $40 8. m. when she ar- rived at the Hollywood Plaza hotel, the residence of several movie stars. She registered under the name of Patricia Mcguire.

Whether Miss Gill; ligan intended the name to be a siatrical references to a plan to kill herself was one of the puzzles.
 There were no traces of poison, or poison containers, in the hotel room and the position of the body, which was clad only In shorts, indicated that she had died easily in her sleep. The coroner listed the cause tenta- lively as possible heart failure"
 Airline employees could suggest no motive for suicide, but they told police that the girl had attempted to kill herself before.

 The breach if further emphasized by the serious consideration given Mr. walls chances for election as registrar. More than a few political dopesters believe that split votes on the part of Republicans and united support on the part of Independents give Mir. wall a good chance to be elected.
 The strong campaign being waged for Mir. Wall offers little comfort to the Republican faction of the Fusion movement, but the c. O. P. does not dare risk the chance of an open break with the Independents before election day. The friction is increased by the fact that the Inde- pendents have taken over control of the fusion party, and are directing the party's election campaign.

completeness TO our camp. We now
felt that the summer months would
be full. The day the boat arrived we
got into it and set out for the oppo-
site shore of the lake. We had often
wondered about the opposite shore.
Viewed from our beach, il had a re-
moteneSs, a sort of mystery about it
that was intriguing. There were camps
over there, nesting among the trees,
and we wondered if they we're more
attractive looking that ours.
1t gave us a sense of adventure to
putter along the opposite shore. The
camps, We were delighted to discover
were not pretentious. Distance had
lent them enchantment
After while We turned back and
were amazed to see such difference
in our own shore line. Our camp was
barely visible. Our nearest neighbor
seemed to encroach upon our very
dooryard. Heretofore We had believed
ourselves rather isolated.
We discovered, also, that our shore

GUS. Yet We assured ourselves that one
day soon We would venture out into
this apparently limitless space. Yes.
we were now very sure that our boat
was an excellent investment.
1T WASN'T until several DAYS had
passed before we realized how i'm
portant our boat really was, how much
1t actually influenced our daily lives.
There was, for example. the business of
mooring. Our friends who owned
boats advised us to keep it clear of
the dock. Otherwise the paint would
be rubbed off, or even more serious
damage befall. So we extended a
rope from the how to a tree which
stood diagonally away from the pier
attaching the stern. by means of
chain, to ring in the pier itself.
Thus our boat swung free. We felt
confident that it was safe. until one
day about a week later a strong east
wind blew The boat clung to its
moorings, but wobbled back and forth
q good deal. We could hear the chain
checking its plunges as each new wave
came in The next morning we found
that the staple to which the chain
was attached in the stern had pulled
out. The boat was banging up against
