In New York, many sections of

promise yesterday, three inches of
rain were deemed a necessity. In

Much of New England remained
tinder dry and no general precipi-

rain fell yesterday at Burlington,
VT, and for several hours it rained
at Springfield. Mass.
In Connecticut alone, crop losses
were estimated "in the millions" and
similar losses were added in other

drought in 100 years.

consciousness Friday, they con-
tinued, they brought her here to the
healer.
