BEMM NEWS BERLIN WELL WATER
 QUESTION SERIOUS SidentS of Worthington Ridge .ust Borrow From NeighborS !. IFS FROM THE POST OFFICE

 community Outing-Church Notes Berlin Items of Interest. ea

large number of the residents on
 sin street are beginning to won-
 where they are going to be able c secure water for drinking, washing md other purposes. Prominent citi- zG ms of the town were seen this morn ing walking Berlin street with pails under their arms filled with water which was procured from a neighbor whose well contained a few remain ing drops$ The wells on the street were reported to have gone dry sev- .ral weeks ago ibuHit was not at first bought that the question would be- orne serious.
 Since that time, however, several lore wells have gone completely dry while others are not far from being dry. To show the seriousness of the rituation it was estimated this morn ng that C sery 10 families are draw ,ng their water supply from one we'll. There are at least six wells in the towns which are absolutely dry and the majority of others are very low. It was also learned that the driven wells are holding out the longest of any, Monday is usually known as wash day but as one woman said this morning, There will be no more washings in Berlin if water isn't se- cured in some way or another"
 With the dry well question the running vater proposition is- again brought :, the minds of the public. The last session of the legislature passed a bill allowing the City of New Britain to sell water to both the Worthington and Kensington fire districts. Both of the districts have held meetings regarding the situation and believe that the Town of Berlin as we'll as Kensington should have water, but, it. is claimed by many, that it will be at least five years be- fore the mains are laid and water briught into the town.
 The fire at the Donnelly brickyard yesterday was another incident to prove that Berlin needs running wa ter. It is quite natural that the town cannot have any sort of a fire depart ment unless it has running water and as a result fires cannot be extin- guished without the aid of the New Britain department which is handi capped by not having water.
 POstoffice Notes.
 The government has issued a notice to both the Berlin and KensingtoI postofices in regards to having al buildings and homes properly marked with the street address. This notice Is sent to every postmaster be h' fourth class or first. It cannot be ap piled in either Berlin or Kensingtoi In regards to the street numbers inas much as the houses are not numbere' in this town.

Leather

The, leather market last week con-
tinued strong. An increasing tendency
IN the demand for nearly all brands
was manifested, although the volume
was much below normal. Sole leather,
which for some weeks past has shown
little animation, enjoyed fair market
last week, and led dealers to believe
that the demand for this line will
steadily increase as the days 90 by.
Shading of prices, which in the past
was commonplace, is now almost OBJ
solete Prices were advanced on lead
ing brands.
Several shoe factories last week in
creased their production. Shoe manu-
facturers have received an appreciable
volume of orders for staples for fall,
but on novelties the ordering season
has just commenced. Black shoes for
men and women will enjoy a good run.

on black kid advanced 20 cents foot

the large demand. This sudden rise in

II TINS Is true the lesson is we'll worth
'he price but it is doubtful! whether
even the Chancellor himself has really
been much enlightened, inasmuch az
ne is responsible for the tariff mess.
Tres where the effect must be to in
crease the British cost of production
which already is too high to enable
British trade to compete successfn,,v

Workers Misled
For country which lives by it's for
eign trade to raise the cost of nroduc.
tion in the present crisis ia r,adroa
and naturally the miners and otber
manual workers fail to see why wages
must be reduced to enable England n
compete successfully when thew find
that the government is producing tariff
measures designed to increase the nrof-
Its of the employers, and also is intro
ducing conversion scheme which will
increase the debt charge and give the
holders of per cent securities row
stock on terms that will yield 5A.
These financial vagaries are not
quite as absurd as they look to the un-
initiated, since the maturing debt had
to be provided for and holders had To
be coaxed into conversion, but even in
professional financial circles the gov
ernment's premature action is much
criticized and the workingmen are
easily persuaded by agitators that the
government is deliberately making
to the capitalists while urging
the workers to take lower wages.

saw some softening in gray or un-
finished goods prices and some read
]ustments in bleached goods. In the
latter, muslins were repriced by
leading factor at from cent to cent
and half lower than the last list,
while cambrics and long cloths were
advanced from 1 to cents a yard In
connection with the new prices some
of the jobbers had previously repriced
their stocks to what they expected new
mills prices to be. In several cases
the iobbers' prices were lower than the
mill prices when the latter were an

Fundamentally, conditions are slight
ly improved over what they were
earlier in the month. it is agreed
among business leaders. On the other
hand, progress in shaking free from
the shackles of depression is much
slower than many anticipated and than
most of the business men desire.
One of the bright spots in the gem
eral situation as applied to textiles is
the fair volume of business that re-
tailers are enjoying. This indicates a
level of consumption, that, according
to the best estimates is in excess of
present production and leads to the
conclusion that sooner or later a
stronger demand for merchandise in
primary markets will assert itself.
Statistics on the retail situation
from several Federal Reserve Banks
last week, showed retail volume that
is close to that of last year at this
period, and in many cases in excess.
Dollar volume has been impaired, but
because of lower prices, the unit
volume apparently is as great as last
year, If not greater.

BY Hartley Withers
From The Trfbune's Eu-op,an gn,snu

/ copyright 1921, New York Tribune Inc
/ LONDON, May 29.-AMuch in.erest has
been aroused here by kilograms indi-
eating that the government proposes to
try to arrange to transfer the European
Allies debts into the hands of private
American investors. A considerable ad J.
vantage clearly will be gained if the
operation can be carried out, because
the debts of one government to another
are likely to cause political complica-
tions and it is much better that the
debts be held by investors
The kilograms indicate that the
! United States government will guaran-
tee the Allied loans raised on your side
of the Atlantic. This clearly would be
necessary in the present state Of Eu-
ropean politics and finance, because
otherwise it seems doubtful whether the
Allies could raise the necessary funds.
The position of the American Treas
ury thus is in effect unaltered, because
1t would be reducing its own debt at
the same time by means of the repay
ment of Liberty bonds. The Allies
would be even more chary of default to
general investors if their loans were
secured by an American guaranty.
The French governments virtual ac-
ceptance of the other Allies views
concerning the enforcement of the
Treaty of Versailles on the Silesian
question has cleared the heated atmos-
phere of European politics, but the
storm is still rumbling and the action
of the Poles makes it difficult problem
Such difficulties, however, are now
recognized as part of the daily program
of European life and are taken in
philosophic Indifference based on the
belief that common-sense view will
ultimately prevail and sooner or later
we shall return to sanity and settle
down to work.
Delay Is Costly
The continued postponement of eco
nomic convalescence, however, is in
fnitely wearisome. The coal strike
drags on, but neither side shows any in

Silks

The slight let down in activity in
silks noted few weeks ago continued
throughout last week Fall buying has
not begun to any great extent, but is
expected to manifest itself in the next
few weeks. Jobbers are still endeavor~
ing to bear the market for finished silk
goods, according to manufacturers,
quantities regularly and turning them
over quickly to the general public.
The primary raw silk markets in
Japan and China stiffened considerably
last week and the advances were re-
fected in local quotations.
