A WOMAN of ample means, who, had cut herself off from the world for ten years, died from exposure to cold? Eecause she had no heating in her nine- roomed villa.
This was the story told at the Watford inquest on Miss Margaret Elizabeth Carter, of Bushey Grove-road, Bushey, Hertford- shire. She was 77.

He was her former milkman, Edward John Narroway, of Queen's-rond, Watford. On December 31, when he called, he saw she was in a state of collapse.

INVENTION of a "parachute-shell," a new anti-air- craft weapon, is revealed in Washington.
This shell, which has an effective range of 25,000ft., releases hundreds of feet of steel tape attached to a parachute at a pre- determined altitude.
Military officials say that a barrage of these parachute-shells would create a "net" which acroplanes could not pass.
For Use In France
