BRILLAT SAVARIN
 LIKED THIS STATE
Famous Frenchman, Who Made Cooking a Science and Eating an Art, Well Fed in Connecticut.

The B-idgeport Groupe of the Ali ance Franchise met last evening at the Stratfield- Prof. Sanderson of Yale. the honorary president of the groupe. was the lecturer. His subject was Brillat Savarin, a most interesting Frenchman of the 18th century whose fame rests chiefly on his appreciation of the science of gormandism- Not that Brillat Savarin was a glutton-far from it. He had the greatest horror of orgies and drunkenness and stuffing oneself. Eating and drinking was to him a science worthy of as serious a Physiology of Tastes. he did his best not only to systematize but also Ito dignify the culinary art.
 He was born in 1755 in a small town After a career as lawyer. judge, mayor. he was forced by political reasons to flee to Switzerland and later sought greater liberty in New York. Here he played in the orchestra of a theatre, and investigated the eating and drink said. "so many religions. but so few dishes"
 He has recorded In his book a hunt ing trip in Connecticut in which he took part It was given by a farmer named Bulow who lived near Hartford. His table was sumptuous and left noth- ing even for Brillat Savarin to desire In addition the shooting seems to have been goou- so SaNdrln Ietalneu most pleasing remembrances of the State.
 He investigated the effects of vari- GUS dishes and drinks. devised combi- nations and suitable menus. and gave particular attention to sauces. Doubt less if he had lived today he would have been one of the most brilliant to Good Housekeeping and the "What to Eat" columns of the various ronthlie@.
 There were nearly a hundred mem bers present and this second season of the groupe rroFniees to be even more than the last. Miss Som erset who iE president for a second term. is planning many new forms of activity which will make the work of the sroupe mot only interesting but helpful to those who wish to gain more practice with the French language.

All Lawful Means Will Be EXerted to Undo the
 Twin Grabs

Mayor Buckingham was much sur prised to learn. yesterday. that it is not the policy of the Democratic party to undo the harbor grab and the car barn surrender. if that is possible.
 As a matter of fact the question of the rights of the city will be gone into thoroughly. and any rights that can be retained will be.
 Mayor Buckingham in an interview with newspapermen said three things. in which he was quoted with sufficient accuracy.
 The first thing was that the Demo- cratic party s:id not promise to repeal the harbor grab and the car barn sur render. It did not.
 The reason 1t did not is because the Lee administration entered into con- tract with the New Haven Railroad to give up eleven acres of harbor and to permit death traps at the bridges

WATER SHORTAGE
 GREATLY FEARED
Less Than 90 Days Supply Remains in Storage and Pressure in Mains Will Be Greatly Reduced at End of 60 Days.

While there is yet no cause for alarm the water supply of this city is very low It is estimated there are only 1,700. .0O0, 900 gallons now stored in the reservoirs. The normal number of gallons is about 4.500. 100000. There was about this quantity in the reser- voirs last June. There has been prac- ticaIly no water since that time- It has been the dryest summer in about 40 years. What rain has fallen has been hardly more than enough to make up for the evaporation which Is heaviest in the summer It will be remembered that many of the storms and rains in this vicinity during the past summer blew over and around Bridgeport
 The Bunnells upper, Trumbull. and Easton No. 2 reservoirs are practically drawn out The average amount of water consumed per day is 17,0 900 gallons At this rate the water would be used up after three months. if there should be no more rain- The pressure svould be very much reduced after two months more of drought
 A water famine is in no way prob able" said an officer of the company this morning, flor it is more than like ly that we will have plenty of rain during the next two months. A long period of drought is generally followed by a fair rain fall"
 The engineers of the New Haven Water Company estimate that the New Haven supply will hold out for about 40 days allowing for a continuance Of the drought. They attribute their rainfall. Their supply like Bridge ports was good in the spring. but the lack of rain during the summer has seriously depleted it.
