years is the return of the beavers to
the Iterkshiri* valley near my farm.
It is jiretty nearly a hundreii years
since the last of the beavers vanished
with till* last of the Imlians from

Today’s mistrial was the second

prohlom^of finding a substitute for
the present system of s<*eond mort-

the UnitiHl States own their homes,

cars in tightly closed garages and not
getting out .side as soon as the engine
fires. In the past twelve months the
New Y’ork staU‘ department of health
leports forty-two death.s from carbon
monoxide poisoning in closed garages
and forty-three narrow escapes from
death from the same cause.
It is seldom safe to let a car run
