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.

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.

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.

(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?
