Disappearance of
Rich Socialite
Still Unsolved
Wealthy Woman Misting for
5 Yean; Cate Remains
Baffling Puzzle.
RIVERHEAD, N. Y.—The strange
disappearance five years ago of
Mrs. Alice McDonnell Parsons,
wealthy socialite, then 3S, is still a
mystery. That, in effect, was the
ruling recently handed down by the
surrogate’s court here.
The court, in accepting an inter
mediate accounting of her estate,
valued at well over $250,000, ajp-eed
with the administrator that it is not
definitely known whether she is dead
or live.
Thus, the ‘‘Parsons case,” as it
has come to be known, remains a
uniquely baffling puzzle.
FBI men entered the case shortly
after Mrs. Parsons vanished from
her country home at Stony Brook,
Long Island, in June, 1937.
It was a ransom note, demanding
$25,000, found in Mrs. Parsons’ auto
the day after she disappeared that
brought G-men into the investiga
tion.
All Efforts Fail.
But all efforts to contact the kid
napers failed.
In Carmel. Calif., employed in a
civilian capacity by the United
Stales army is Mrs. Parsons' hus
band. William H. Parsons Jr., a
Yale university graduate.
Still serving as his housekeeper
is the Russian-born “Countess”
Anna Kuprianova who was subject
ed to lengthy interrogation by Chief
G-man J. Edgar Hoover a few days
after June 9, 1937. when, according
lo Mrs. Kuprianova, Mrs. Parsons
stepped into an automobile with a
man and a woman at the Parsons’
farm and was seen no more.
With them is Mrs. Kuprianova’s
son. Roy, 16.
Mrs. Kuprianova and the boy will
fall heir to a substantial portion of
Mrs. Parsons’ estate when it is ulti
mately divided. But that cannot be
until 1944, seven years after Mrs.
Parsons’ disappearance.
Parsons and his wife, despite their
social connections, settled down to
a life of sequestered quiet at their
country place.
In 1931 their association with Anna
Kuprianova began. The Russian
born woman, who said she was a
countess, came to them through
a YWCA employment service.
FBI Called In.
The housekeeper said that early
that morning Mrs. Parsons drove
her husband to the St. James sta
tion of the Long Island railroad.. He
had an appointment with two Rus
sians in New York.
All information regarding Mrs.
Parsons’ movements thereafter
came to the police from Mrs. Kup
rianova.
The housekeeper said Mrs. Par
sons returned to the farmhouse at
8; 10 a. m. and left the car in the
drive.
At 11:05 a. m., the housekeeper
went on, an automobile stopped be
fore the house and Mrs. Parsons
said:
“Oh, that must be the couple who
wish to rent the little house.”
She was referring to the “Sam
mis place” at Huntington, L. 1., an
interest in which she had inherited
from Colonel Williams.
At 8:15 that night Parsons re
turned from New York, telephoned
home from the station to inquire
why his wife had not picked him up
in the car. When told that she had
left with a strange couple and had
not returned. Parsons notified the
police.
Parsons summoned the FBI.
There the case of the missing
socialite-heiress stands.
Writer Saves His Life
By Taking Brief Sleep
LONDON.—Sleeping too long is
bad business for a war correspond
ent.
It was revealed that Larry Meier,
Internationa] News Service war cor
respondent, who was wounded by
shrapnel fragments in the Dieppe
raid, escaped death from a shell
because he only took a brief nap.
En route to the French coast on
a gunboat. Meier caught a few
hours’ sleep on a bench in the ward
room. He awakened and went up
on deck two hours before the ship
ran into enemy fire.
After he was hit by enemy shrap
nel, Meier returned to the ward
room the next morning to have his
wounds dressed. There he discov
ered a four-inch hole in the side of
the ship, and a four-inch hole in the
wall of the room just over the
bench.
”If I had slept two hours more,
there would have been a four-inch
hole in Meier,” the war correspond
ent commented.
Ruins Found in Mexico
Are Traced to Toltecs
MEXICO ClTY.—Students of ar
cheology gathered recently at newly
discovered ruins believed the prod
uct of the Toltecs, mysterious for
mer inhabitants of Mexico. The Na
tional Institute of Anthropology and
History reported finding the ruins of
a pyramid, fortress and parts of an
18-foot high statue near Tula, 50
miles from the Mexican capital. In
stitute officials claimed the discov
eries dated from the Toltec period.
Ohio Stocks Raffed Grease
Ohio has completed stocking 429
ruffed grouse obtained from Alberta
and Wisconsin, according to a re
cent announcement They have
been distributed on game manage
ment and demonstration areas in
various parts of the state* that have
been closed to hunting for at least
two breeding seasons. Each bird
released has been banded and
marked with a red, white or yellow
feather in its tail to facilitate check
ing movement and survival.
Refinishing Geld Frames
To refinish a gold frame you
should first sand with very fine pa
per and apply a high grade gold
size. When the size has partially
dried, but is still tacky, apply the
best quality gold bronze by dusting.
After allowing this to dry for sev
eral days, finish with a thin coat of
pure, white shellac greatly reduced
with denatured alcohol. This should
keep the bronze from tarnishing for
many years.
No More Laxuries
Everything in Britain is mobilized
for the winning of the war. Two out
of every three persons between the
ages of 14 and 65 are working full
time in the armed forces, civilian
defense or war industry. This is
equivalent to a mobilization ot
60,000,000 people in the U. S. A. The
production of luxuries has ceased
Civilian necessities are severely
curtailed.
To Fill Nail Holes
For filling exposed nail holes,
many decorators use pure yellow
beeswax or tinted non-shrinking
crack fillers, rather than oil putty
which is apt to leave oil rings un
less a linseed oil stain is used. The
filling of nail holes is usually done
after the stain coat and before the
finish coat.
Light Reflected in Water
Water reflects about one-third of
the sunlight falling upon it, which
is one of the reasons why bathers
tan easily, according to the Better
Vision institute. The white sand ol
beaches also reflects a considerable
part of the sunlight. The land sur
face in the country reflects only
about one-tenth of the sun’s rays.
Substitutes
Substitute textiles—and substi
tutes for substitutes—for clothing
and other purposes will be much in
evidence for the duration. Some ol
the sources of synthetic fibers now
being used in research laboratories
include peanuts, corn, fish protein,
yucca, the bark of redwood trees,
and glass.
Rubber Goods Enemy
Heat is the No. 1 enemy of rub
ber goods. The higher the temper
ature, the more quickly rubber gets
weak, cracks and becomes sticky.
Cold does not harm rubber. Rub
ber’s enemy No. 2 is light. Oils and
greases are enemy No. 3.
Make Own Food
Green plants are the only living
things that manufacture their own
food from inert, ingorganic matter.
Without sunlight they would be un
able to carry on their food conver
sion processes, points out the Better
Vision institute.
Less than 20 Cents
In Hungary, a meat substitute
concocted of 12 vegetables enables
a dinner for four to be served at a
cost of less than 20 cents, it is re
ported to the American Chemical
society. 4
More Shipping Space
Clothing rationing is releasing 300,-
000 tons of shipping a year, and
some 750,000 workers for transfer
from clothing industries to service
in the forces or war industry.
British Women
Five and one-half million women
are already working in industry ar.d
the number is mounting rapidly.
Millions more, mainly housewives,
are working part time.
Raised to 51
In Britain today, every fit man be
tween and 41 has already been
drafted into the forces, unless irre
placeable in an essential job The
age limit has now been raised to 51.
Organized Native Force
After remaining in the Dominican
Republic for eight years, during
which time they organized a native
military force, U. S. marines left
on September 17, 1924.
Bed Sheets
Foutr single-bed size sheets use
as muen linen as goes into the wings,
fuselage and ailerons of one type of
training plane.
Rust Protection for Steel
Effective protection from rust on
steelwork may be obtained by using
one or tw*o coats of red lead.

“Remember this—that very little
is needed to make a happy life.”—
Marcus .Aurelius.
Everyone
“Everyone in the world is Christ
and they are all crucified.”—Sher

Another Person Said
“Democritus said, words are but
the shadows of»actions.”—Plutarch.
Wisconsin Quil Cheek
The bobwhite quaU population on
the 3.200-acrt Prairie du Sac Pitt
man-Robertsoo' experimental proj
ect in Wisconsin suffered a 54. per
cent reduction last winter, accord
ing to the Wisconsin conservation
department. This compares with a
43 per cent loss in 1941 and an
average loss since 1929 of 42 per
cent. Most of the losses were suf
fered in the New Year's storm, early
in January. No artificial feeding is
done on the area.

Sunsets Always Eight Minutes Late 1
When you see a sunset this sum-'
mer, you will be seeing it BV4 m’in
utes after the sun has really set.
This seemingly improbable situa
tion is explained from the fact that
it takes light about 8H minutes to
travel from the sun to the earth.*
Light moves at tfte rate of 188,000
miles per second, but the sun is 92,.
000,000 miles from the earth, a con.
siderable distance for even the fast,
moving light rays to travel.
New Resins
Three new and interesting resins
have been found in England. They
are Hal Jak tree resin and a
gum from Acacia Zacta. A vamislf
made with Hal resin and tupentine
i*as applied to sized wood on which
it dried in about 48 hours to a fairly
tough glossy finish. Jak tree resiti
is practically 100 per cent soluble in
acetone and the Acacia Zacta ap
pears to be a good substitute for
standard gum acacia.
Not Ordinary Paint
Paints used to camouflage vital
war production plants must
properties which will cause them to
appear the same shade a? the sur
roundings when photographed with
any type of film. Ordinary paints,
even when applied in colors match
ing the surrounding terrain, some
times are revealed as dark gray?
and blacks when
infra-red.
To Move a Division
It takes 71 railroad trains each
with 8 minimum of 20 cars to movf.
an army division of about 15,00 (
men with their weapons and equip,
ment. Since troops traveling by re
move at a rate of about 250 miles a
day, it would take almost 1,500
ten davs to move the division acros;*
the U. S.
Gunny Sack Decorations
Burlap or gunny sacks, whhn
bleached and dyed, lend themselves
wonderfully to mai% artistic home
uses. They are used for rug bas&s,
draperies, tie-backs, pillow atfd
couch covers. A touch of fringe
braid will add a finish to many dec
orations.
