WATER FAMINE IN
 BAY STATE TOWNS
Shelburne Falls and Hinsdale
 Hard Hit-PittSfeId Dry"

Boston, Aug. 17 tP)-Two western Massachusetts towns were without their usual water supply today, but for different reasons.
 Shelburne Falls was compelled to resort to pumping water from the Dcertield river when it's reservoir became virtually dry due to the long drought which has menaced many communities in this part of the state. Residents were warned to boil all water used for drinking although chlorinating filters were being used.
 HinSdalc Main Blocked
 At Hinsdale, the breakup of the gate to the Belmont reservoir car ried pieces into the main and blocked it. The nearest gate in the pipe line is three quarters of a mile from the reservoir and it may be necessary to dig at many points within this stretch before the ob- structions are located.
 In the meantime, and the authori- ties feared this might be several days, the townspeople will be obliged to obtain their water from springs, wells and ponds.
 Pittsheld. one of, if not the largest place which is faced with the need for quick alleviation of water famine, has already been ac- corded serious consideration by the health department Harry E. Holmes of the division of sanitary engineering yesterday was ordered to make an immediate examination of nearly Lake Onota to determine it's suitability as a temporary source of supply.
 Lake May Be Used
 Holmes will determine particu- larly whether water from Onota may be used safely after a simple injection of chlorine or whether Pittstield must promulgate mu- nicipal regulation that all water be boiled before usage.

Rear Admiral C.L. Hussey Defends Armaments at Institute Today;
 Builder Talks On Unemployment

' oston building congress and forner secretary of the American Institute of Architects. speaking at the plan. ned prosperity round table on the unemployment situation in the Unit ed States, advocated three reme- dies:
 O-Cooperation of owners on employment reforms;
 (2)-Adoption by contractors Of plans to do repair work when labor is relatively idle; and
 (3)-Campaigns for winter build ing.
 More intelligent handling of re- pair work when labor is less active in new construction, can do much to reduce the peak demands and spread employment more evenly throughout the year." he said.
 Darwin J. Meserole, president of the National Unemployment League, urged that congress and state legis- latures enact laws providing funds for the construction of roads, drain age and irrigation of water lands, and river and harbor improvements for the relief of unemployment.
 Gold Limitation Problem
 T. E. Gregory, professor of rank ing at the University of London, dis cussing the organization of modern monetary systems before the bank ing, currency and exchange round table, said that the possibility of limiting the demand for gold for uon-monetary purposes presented a great difficulty in the way of such organization.
 Possibilities of limiting the de- mand for gold for non-monetary purposes are distinctly limited" he declared, although falling prices ana changes of habit and taste make some difference in the amount of gold consumed in the west. Such factors however are of relatively lit tie importance. compared to the problem of gold boarding in the east the difficulties of changing eastern habits in this respect are enor- mous."

 Sophie did not realize quite what it was all about this morning. Her pert rose hat pulled well down over her curlS, the IT year old girl look ed about her in amazemcnt. Sh9 was huting her man, the man who refused to show up in police court this morning. She had been ar rested last night in her new home on New Britain avenue, Hartford, here she had been living.
 Sergeants O'Mara and McAvay made the arrest. Long ago her father had complained to Sergeant O'Mara, had asked for police help in getting his daughter.
 Dominic Alfona of Stanley street, was the guilty man, Sophie's mothe~ said. She had seen them togethe" on July 4, and Sophie's brother had seen them together about a week ago. But Dominic was questioned and he said that he had not seen the girl since April 16.
 In court today Sergeant McAvay told how she was arrested at Hart ford last night, how she had been keeping company with a young. man on Stanley street, and how she had been missing from her home since May 30. Sergeant O'Mara corrobor- ated Sergeant McAvay's statements.
 The father had asked the boy to marry the girl, hut he said not yet as he did not have enough money.
 She left May 3O Fellow take her out of town. For long time before she left home she had been coming in very late at night" the father told the court, T want her back home. She is my daughter and I want to take care of her"
 Attorney Martin F. Stempien rep- resented the parents.
 Like all young girls, she is ac- customed to staying out later than her parents think fit," the lawyer continued but she meant no wrong. Her parents did not like this and so she left home"
 To the assertion by Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods that the girl was out of the control of her parents. the father said:
 "'She is my child. I should take care of her. l will notify the court if she doesn't behave if she is given to me again."
 But Judge Traceski was not satis- fled. He wishes a further investi- sation of the case to be made, and so the final disposition was contin- ued until Tuesday morning. The girls father put up a $500 property bond for his daughters appearance in court.

 Philip Snowden, British chancel- Tor of the eXchequer, who has maiu- tained such a firm position for a greater share of German reparations for his government and for other concessions, studied conciliatory pro- posals of France, Italy, Belgium and Japan, the four creditor nations, which have allied themselves against Great Britain. Their proposals of fered Great Britain approximately to per cent or the 4o,VUo,Vuo nidfkS (about SIC, 0,SO0,000) increase in it's share of the German payments de- manded by the new British labor government. With this concession as a basis they hoped to secure a compromise with MT. Snowden on his remaining demands.
 Other Demands Made These demands as made original ly last week were for unconditional annuities for Great Britain approXi- mating 45,OOo,OOo marks a year, abolition of deliveries in kind on the separations account, and amalgama- tion of conditional and uncondition- al annuities under single sum. l Meanwhile the meeting of the conference financial committee which had been scheduled for to- day has been postponed until next week, to allow MT. Snowden to study the coalition proposals, and to allow the representatives of the four nations further to consider the | problem confronting them.
