:for my children.
A short time ago, the diagnosis
was confirmed. 1 have Huntington's
disease. It's a hereditary brain dis-
order which passes from genera-
tion to generation, causing slow
physical and mental deterioration
leading to total incapacitation and
eventually... death.
The fear of losing control of my
body and the fear of losing my mind
scares me. But what is more fright_
ening is what the future holds for
my children.
I didn't know that Huntington's
disease was in my family. My father
died young, in an accident, before
his symptoms began to show. If I
had known there was a 50:50 chance
of inheriting the disease from
him 1 .might not have had children,
but it's too late for that now. And
--Tat TS -Why -ram asking for your help.
Right now, there is no effective
treatment for Huntington's disease,
and there is no cure, but there is
hope. Recently, through research
funded by your
dollars, scientists have dis-
covered a 'marker' which will lead
us to the defective gene. When this
happens, we could solve the riddle
of not only Huntington's disease,'
but possibly many other dominant-
ly inherited disorders of the brain
and central nervous system.

By Desiree Vivea
There's an autumnal nip in
the air, and chillier weather
to follow in the months
ahead. This is the time of
year when a steaming bowl
of soup tastes best.
It's nice to have a pot of
homemade soup simmering
all afternoon on the stove,
but if you don't have the time
(and not many of us do these
days), your microwave can
turn out a variety of short-
order soups with a minimum
of effort. And you'll love your
microwave for heating up
leftover soup, since it can be
heated right in the bowl or
mug. '
A flavorful soup stimulates
the appetite, making it an
excellent choice as a first
course. Or serve with a sand-
wich, hot bread or salad for a
hearty and nourishingmeal.
If soup terminology leaves
you puzzled, here's a quick
rundown:
— A "bisque" is a rich,
creamy soup usually made
from shellfish, chicken or
strained vegetables.
-- "Bouillon or "broth"
means a thin, clear soup
made by boiling meat or
vegetables in water.
— A "chowder" is a thick,
hearty stewlike soup. Favor-
ite varieties in this country
are clam and corn chowder.
— "Pottage" is another
stewlike soup, made of
vegetables or vegetables and
meat.

WENGER PUBLICATIONS
YOU ARE THE
DETECTIVE
The beautiful young de-
butante, Laura Wainright,
has been found in' a back
alley of the town, dead of a
bullet wound through her
head. Certain well-informed
sources have told you it's
work of a gang of well-dress-
ed, and well-mannered
crooks who make a big living
on preying on the town's so-
cially elite. You have learn-
ed that young Laura was ex-
, trernely impressionable, al-
ways in search of thrills and
excitement, and she had
been especially • ecstatic
when given attention by this
ruthless little gang — name-
ly, Barbara Henderson, Amy
Adams, Tom Lynch, Larry
Norris and Hank Jenkins.
Inadvertently, Laurahad
witnessed a particularly dar-
ing robbery by two of the
gang, and although she had
promised utmat secrecy,
the members of the gang
were not convinced of her
sincerity, and demanded
that she prove her "loyalty"
by taking active part in a
jewel theft they were plan-
ning. She declined. And so,
one of the gang sealed her
lips permanently- by -killing
her.
You have subsequently
jotted down and numbered
the following bits of infor-
mation you've managed to
gather on the gang:
(1) One of the gang mem-
bers was a former well-
known tournament bridge
player, but is not concen-
trating his skill in high -stake
bridge games , with the
town's socially prominent
and wealthy people, , and
making a big income dut of
this.
TENDER TRAPS
The silken snare of the
spider can be more than a
cobweb, "Webs and Other
Wonders" follows the de-
velopment -of the use of silk
among spiders of the world
— from jumping spiders to
skillful net throwers and las-
so swingers.

quence shows an unexpected

ment on one of lifets little an-

(2) Larry Norris, former-
ly a croupier in various
gambling establishments,
and an excellent "manipula-
tor" of gambling devices,
recently devised a neat
gambling racket; and tried
to get the bridge expert to go
into partnership with him,
but the latter dislikes Norris,
doesn't tryst him, and re-
fused.
(3) Although Hank Jen-
nings and the bridge expert
dislike and distrust each
other, they have , always
managed to co-operate
smoothly with each other in
all the gang's projects.
(4) Barbara Henderson
has been overheard discuss-
ing the murder of Laura
Wainright with a friend out-
side the gang, exclaiming
that the gang member who
actually shot the young de-
butante did so as much in
uncontrollable jealousy as in
fear of Laura's giving out in-
formation on the • gang's
activities. Barbara was also
heard to tell her friend that
the bridge expert, half in
love with Laura, had pleaded
with the killer, who was a
close friend, not to kill the
young debutante.....,_ .
--Now:- after-wetghi'ng and
digesting these bits of infor-
mation, can you identify the
killer of Laura Wainright?
