August Vanishing Act In Paris Stagnant Shops And Theatres
Parisians vanish in August as shops close, theaters go dark, and bakeries drop their handles. The National Bureau of Statistics notes nearly half of France’s population takes holidays then with many abroad, spa visits, or camping, while most stay with friends or relatives. Opposed to hotel stays, hotels account for only 15 percent. France’s seaside and mountains attract travelers, and a significant share vacation locally.

In Wetumpka Alabama nurse Mrs Earle Dennison 54 attempted suicide in her prison cell the morning before her trial on two murder charges for arsenic deaths of two young nieces Shirley Diana Weldon age 2 and Polly Ann Weldon age 2 years. Circuit Judge Oakley Melton postponed the trial after doctors said she could appear she had previously overdosed on sleeping pills. She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The case concerns arsenic found in Shirley Diana s drink and subsequent autopsy evidence leading to the reopening of Polly Ann s death for possible prosecution.
