Girl, 17, Suffers Loss of Memory;
 Held By Police

A girl about IF years old shook her head dazedly at police head quarters this afternoon and was able to say only, 'My head hurts" 1" when asked her name and address.
 The girl was found sIuInped in . seat at the railroad station late this morning. She could not re- member her name or where she came from. She came to Water bury on . train from Bridgeport, but she was unable to state whe- ther or not she lived in that city.
 My head hurts," she said over and over as police questioned her, and she could not give coherent answers to any of the questions asked her.
 Police sent out a teIetype broad cast and gave a description of the girl in the hopes that she might have been reported missing to some department in the state.
 The loss of memory victim is about five feet, six inches tall and weighs about 125 pounds. She has light hair, and is wearing a black dress with a white collar, white socks and black shoes.

Hints to Gardeners Ly Gordon Morrison
 Vegetable Expert
 Ferry Seed Institute
Make Summer Paintings

MANY gardeners believe that lYA most planting should be done in the spring or early summer. Vegetables thus are ready for the table in late summer and fall, ac- cording to the length of time re- quired for maturing
 For vegetables maturing fairly rapidly, however, midsummer is as desirable time for planting as spring, With a second planting of the fast-growlng garden items, there is fresh food for the table well into the fall, and vegetables to be stored are more crisp and in better condi- ton to be kept over a period of several months,
 Tn fact, Chinese or Celery Cabbage must not be planted before mid summer If planted too soon it forms useless plant with leaves much like mustard or turnip and soon produces seed stalk instead of a head
 Radish, Spinach, Early Cabbage, Beans, Sweet Corn and Beets are cNcelIent crops TOT midsummer planting TurnIps and Rutabaga also thrive when planted in July.
 Gardeners sometimes have the feeling that the warm, dry summer months are not suitable for germi- nation and sprouting of seed. Drouthy conditions may easily be overcome in the garden. When ready to plant, form the drill and fill it with water When excess water has drained away, leaving the soil mod e,'ately moiAt, the seeds may be planted and covered as usual.
 In some cases, midsummer plant. ng is actually better than spring ,lai&ing, for the crop is finer when mAures in the cool, moist fall, ather than in the warm, dry sum- ger. Spring planting is important, { course, to provide fresh vege- Sbles throughout the summer. But one need miss the joy of tasty fresh vegetables in September, October lIld November.
