DEAF AND DUMB
 HOLD CONVENTION
2,0O0 Delegates at National
 Conference Today

Washington, Aug. II LR -. The silent convention of the National Association of the Deaf moved for ward today with a dispatch possible only through the visual comprehen- sion of the 1000 delegates, none of whom can speak or hear.
 As in the 13 preceding triennisl gatherings the sign language was the medium through which the con- vention received. discussed and act ed upon reports of officers and com- mlttees. -..
 A song written by mute for fel- low members of the organization is to be sung" at today's session. With only rhythm and without music, it is Washington 1926" composed by J. Frederick Meagher, young mem Der of the association and a news paper man in Chicago.
 On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial late yesterday the Gettys- bury addres was. rendered in the sign language by the Rev. r. C.. Smielau, of the Pennsylvania dele gation. The delegates also danced with almost faultless rhythm to the strains of music communicated to them through the vibrations it caused in the ball room floor.
 President Arthur L. Roberts criti- cized the legislature of New Hamp- shire for not removing restrictions which prevent mutes from receiv- ing automobile driving permits. Fair tests, he contended had demonstrat- ed that the unusually sharp eyes of the deaf compensated for their fail- ure to hear, as far as driving is con- 1 Cerned.

 Autos Pass Through
 A novel sight was afforded Der linites this morning, when string of cars passed through here. They were fastened to poles from the truck to a trailer and five sedans were thus borne in state through the town, high in the air. This is the first time that residents of this place have ever seen cars transport cd in this manner and the sight af- forded much interest.
 The Cannon Cat
 Passengers on the Berlin bus as 1t mounts the hill at Worthington ridge have been interested lately by Glimpses of the cannon cat the lat est attraction in sights around Der lin. The feline, which is large and matured can be seen at almost any hour of the day. perched on the parapet that surrounds the World War monument. beside the field gun that points it's slim snout out over tle valley. Ownership of the pom Gerlng kltty mas not peeh cidiIhVu to date, but the cat is not a stray as il is well fed and groomed.
 Hour afer hour, Tom, or whatever it's name might me, sits beside the gun and looks over the valley, not mocing muscle for minutes on end. Still as the metal instrument beside hin, the cat sits and binks and sits some more. Is it, as the old Egyp- tians averred, that the cat has the wisdom of ages behind it's blinking eyes? Does Tom ponder over the futility of life? Does he wonder when the Pennington avenue road will ever be paved? Or does he, after all. merely sit in the sun and blink?

GREENWICH WATER
 COMPANY EXPLAINS
Seeks to Defend Injunction
 Fought by Railroad

Bridgeport. Conn, Aug, II. P>- The very serious need for water for domestic uses and fire protection In various sections of Greenwich, Con- necticut and in Rye. Mamaroneck and Harrison in New York state and how the building d dam on the Manus river by the New Haven rail- road company will interfere, it is claimed, with the plans of the Greenwich Water company to at tempt to take care of the constant demands for more water, was de- tailed before Judge John W. Banks in superior court today by Eben F. Putnam, president of the Water company.
 The Water company has obtain ed an injunction stopping the pro- gress in the building of a dam by the New Haven company. Judge Banks is being asked to dissolve it. The railroad now obtains, at 12 cents for every 1000 gallons, it's water supply for the Cos Cob Power plant from the Greenwich Water company.
 It wishes to build dam and con- serve its own water without the necessity of purchasing from any one else.
 A point is made by the Railroad company that the Water company. as it's facilities now arc constituted has an adequate supply to take care of it's Connecticut consumers but in tends to increase the quantity of water now being furnished by it through the Port Chester Water Works to customers in New York state.
 The Greenwich Water company points out that the largest part of the water obtained from the Mianus river in Connecticut actually flows into this state from New York state and is only being returned 10 it's original source. The Water scom- pany, in addition, contends that the electrical power generated at the Cos Cob plant of the railroad com pany is not used exclusively in Con- necticut but in New York as well.
 President Putnam testified this morning that the Greenwich Water company now has adequate water but is on the thresh hold of the time when it must make provision for the increase of it's water reserve.
 The Mianus mill development, the Water company claims, will enable 1t to meet constant demands" for water in Mamaroneck, Harrison and Rye and in rapidly growing sections of Greenwich now without water for home use or fire protection. With the new development the Water company states it may properly take care of the demands of these towns and assure the Cos Cob plant of con- tnuous water supply which, PresI- dent Putnam says he was informed. will not exceed a maximum of 100000 gallons a day.
 sanitary engineer of the state department of health. it was stated today, has reported the water of the Mianus river is suitable for domestic uses
