Naugatuck, Feb. 13 Police re- luctance to divulge much informa- ton on the accident last night in which car owned by Thelma H. Hard, 34, of Charcoal avenue, Mid- dlebury was badly damaged, when hit by a freight train as it was parked squarely on the railroad tracks about POO feet north of the passenger depot of the New Haven Railroad here last night, added to the mystery surrounding the mis- hap today.
 Although evidence indicated that the girl, who is reported to be mar ried, had male companion in the car with her, police refused to give the name of the person, indicating they were continuing their investi- gation.
 The woman was charged in bor- ough court today with intoxication and her case was continued to Sat- urday, pending further investiga- tion.
 Neither she nor her reported com- panion was hurt, as far as could be learned. It was rumored today that her companion had assisted her out of the car short time before the 10:45 freight train hurtled along, smashed into the rear of the car which was apparently parked facing south right on the tracks, somer- saulted the car over several times, and the car jumped on to the sta ton platform and crashed into an express truck there which was locked against a platform pole.
 Both the rear and front end of the car were badly stove in and one side of it was also damaged.
 Squarely On Tracks
 Police did not give any explana- tion as to why the car was parked squarely on the tracks. It was re- ported however, that the car had been backed on there and an at- tempt to get it off failed.
 From all rumors, it is believed the occupant or occupants got out just in time. A mans hat was found near the scene and Miss Hard, &C., cording to police, refused to say who was with her.
 The engineer of the train, w. O. Sparks of Torrington, said he saw the auto as he rounded the curve above the station platform but could

Any woman, any time of the year is wise to base her wardrobe on a suit. Co-eds, young marrieds, ca- reer girls, all know the practical value as well as the style value of a suit. Smart shoppers can pick a suit, such as the one worn by Anita Louise, and find it right for Fall, Winter and Spring. As this one is a jacket worn over a dress, that foundation frock is also good for wear beneath a fur coat Another variation could be made by substi- tuting plaid sports jacket over the gray wool dress.
 Although smart for all seasons, suits are particularly good for Fall. Co-eds returning to the campus know they must have at least one suit. They favor the plaids with pleated skirts this year Many of the best styles have topcoats that match or blend with the color of the suit. They vary the ensemble by wearing sweater sets with the skirt and topcoat, by wearing the simple pullover sweater under the suit jacket or, in warmer weather, the open necked white tailored blouse. These campus suits are young, comfortable and utilitarian.
 The fur-trimmed suit is the popu-

lar choice of the girl with social activities. This type of suit, good for tea or evening dates, has a new color revival this Fall. Beaver brown, green and R.A.F. blue are the favorite colors that look well with any type of fur trimming. A new silhouette is the set-in belt, bloused bodice, with fur at the neckL line and often patch pockets of fur. Edith Head offers clever idea for a dress suit in one she designed for Barbara Stanwyck in "You Belong to Me" While the neckline is col- larlesS, a fur revere can be dipped on and off.
 The tailored suit has almost be- come the career girls uniform. The skirts are still pencil slim. The jackets are longer and they nip the waistline while the shoulders are softer this Fall. Color has also en- tered this style and California de- signers are offering the tailored suit in dark brown, green and blue as well as the conventional black and gray. There is probably no other garment so smart and serviceable for the business girl. By substitut- ing dressy blouse for the tailored one, by adding a fur piece or dressy hat, the business suit is equally right for the evening date.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Children's TOnsiIs

Our two children have bad tonsils Doctor said they should be taken out before school starts. We have heard they can be taken out by electricity, Which is better, taking them out by electricity or cutting them out?
 (Mrs. K. M. E.) Answer-Electro- -coagulation (dia. thermy) is always preferable to sur. gical removal of tonsils, in my opinion. This method is seldom ap. pllcable for children under eight Unless child has ear trouble ol faulty development of chest or face or jaw, or other serious effect oi obstruction of breathing, would not do anything about merely large tonsils and anedonds, other than to see that the child's general nutri- tion and health are maintained and especially see that any cavities in the teeth are promptly filled.
